CHAP. I. 

1 The creation of heaven and enrtli, Zofthe light, 
% of the firmament, 'Jofilie earth separated from 
the waters. Wand made fruitful, liofilie sun, 
moon, and stars, 20 offish and foul, 2'4 of beasts 
mid cattle, i'oofman in the image of God. 29 
Also the appointment of food. 

IN the 'i beginning ''God created 
the heaven and the earth. 

2 And the earth was without form, 
and void ; and darkness ivus upon 
the face of the deep : <^and the Spi- 
rit of God moved upon the face of 
the waters. 

3 ^And God said, ^Let there be 
light : and there was light. 

4 And God saw the light, that it 
was good: and God divided fthe 
light from the darkness. i 

5 i\jid God called the light ^ Day,' 
and the darkness he called Night : 
fand the evening and the morning 
were the first day. 

6 "ff And God said, ?Let there be a 
t firmament in the midst of the wa- 
ters, and let it divide the waters from 
the waters. 

7 And Cod made the firmament, 
''and divided the waters which were 
under the firmament from the waters 
which were ' above the firmament : 
and it was so. 

8 And God called the firmament 
Heaven : and the evening and the 
morning were the second day. 

9 TI And God said, '^Let the waters 
under the heaven be gathered toge- 
ther unto one place, and let the dry 
land appear : and it was so. 

10 And God called the dn,' land 
Earth ; and the gathering together of 
the waters called he Seas : and God 
saw that it was good. 

11 And God said. Let the earth 
J bring forth t grass, the herb yield- 
ing seed, and the fruit-tree yielding 
™ fruit after his kind, whose seed is in 
itself, upon the earth : and it was so. 

12 And the earth brought forth 
grass, and herb yielding seed after 
his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, 
whose seed icas in itself, after his 
kind : and God saw that it was good. 

13 And the evening and the morn- 
ing were the third day.

and let them be for signs, and °for 
seasons, and for days, and years. 

15 And let them be for lights in the 
firmament of the heaven to give light 
upon the earth : and it was so. 

16AndGodPmade twogreat lights; 
the greater light f to rule the day, and 
^the lesser light to rule the night : he 
made ■'the stars also. 

17 And God set them in the firma- 
ment of the heaven to give light up- 
on the earth, 

18 And to =rule over the day, and 
over the night, and to divide the light 
from the darkness : and God saw that 
it was good. 

19 And the evening and the morn- 
ing were the fourth day. 

20 And God said. Let the waters 
bring forth abundantly the || moving 
creature that hath flife, and ffowl 
that may fly above the earth in the 
fopen firmament of heaven. 

21 And "God created great whales, 
and e veryhving creature that moveth, 
which the waters brought forth abun- 
dantly after their kind, and every 
winged fowl after his kind : and God 
saw that it was good. 

22 And God blessed them, saving, 
wfie fruitful, and muUiply, and fill 
the waters in the seas, and Itt fowl 
multiply in the earth. 

23 And the evening and the morn- 
ing were the fifth day. 

24 H And God said. Let the earth 
bring forth the living creature after 
his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, 
and beast of the earth after his kind: 
and it was so. 

25 And God made the beast of the 
earth after his kind, and cattle after 
their kind, and ever}- thing that creep- 
eth upon the earth after his kind : and 
God saw that it was good. 

26 TI And God said, -^Let us make 
man in our image, after our hkeness: 
and >let them have dominion over the 
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of 
the air, and over the cattle, and over 
all the earth, and over every creeping

27 So God created man in his own 
image, ^in the image of God created 
he him ; "male and female created 
he them. 

28 And God blessed them, and God 
said unto them, ''Be fruitful, and 
multiply, and replenish the earth, and 
subdue it : and have dominion over 
the fish of the sea, and over the fowl 
of the air, and over every living thing 
that fmoveth upon the earth. 

29 i And God said. Behold, I have 
given you every herb f bearing seed, 
which is upon the face of all the 
earth, and every tree, in the which is 
the fruit of a tree yielding seed ; ^to 
you it shall be for meat. 

30 And to "^ every beast of the earth, 
and to ever}^ ^ fowl of the air, and to 
everj' thing that creepeth upon the 
earth, wherein there is tlife> i have 
given eveiy green herb for meat: and 
it was so. 

31 And fGod saw everything that 
he had made, and behold, it was very 
good. And the evening and the morn- 
ing were the sixth day. 

CHAP. II. 

1 The first sahbaOi. 4 The manner of the creation. 
8 The planting of the garden of Eden, 10 and 
the riter t)iereof. 17 The tree of knowledge only 
forbidden. 19, 20 The naming of the creatures. 
21 The making of woman, and institution of 
marriage. 

THUS the heavens and the earth 
were finished, and ^^all the host 
of them. 

2 ^And on the seventh day God 
ended his work which he had made ; 
and he rested on the seventh day 
from all his work which he had 
made. 

3 And God <= blessed the seventh 
day, and sanctified it : because that 
in it he had rested from all his work 
which God f created and made. 

4 H*^ These are the generations of 
the heavens and of the earth when 
they were created, in the day that 
the Lord God made the earth and 
the heavens, 

5 And every ^ plant of the field be- 
fore it was in the earth, and everj^ 
herb of the field before it grew : for 
the Lord God had not ("caused it to 
rain upon the earth, and there was 
not a man eto till the ground. 

6 But II there went up a mist from 
the earth, and watered the whole 
face of the ground.

Tlie garden of Eden 

7 And the Lord God formed man 
f of the ^ dust of the ground, and 
'breathed into his "^ nostrils the breath 
of life ; and 'man became a living 
soul. 

8 T[ And the Lord God planted 
""a garden "eastward in "Eden; and 
there Phe put the man whom he had 
formed. 

9 And out of the ground made the 
Lord God to grow q every tree that 
is pleasant to the sight, and good for 
food ; ""the tree of life also in the 
midst of the garden, ^and the tree 
of knowledge of good and evil. 

10 And a river went out of Eden to 
water the garden : and from thence 
it was parted, and became into four 
heads. 

1 1 The name of the first is Pison : 
that is it which compasseth "the 
whole land of Havilah, where there 
is gold ; 

12 And the gold of that land is 
good : w there is bdellium and the 
onyx-stone. 

13 And the name of the second ri- 
ver is Gihon : the same is it that com- 
passeth the whole land of f Ethiopia. 

14 And the name of the third river 
is ^Hiddekel : that is it which goeth 
II toward the east of Assyria. And 
the fourth river is Euphrates. 

15 And the Lord God took Hthe 
man, and yput him into the garden 
of Eden, to dress it, and to keep it. 

16 And the Lord God commanded 
the man, saying. Of every tree of the 
garden f thou mayest freely eat : 

17 2 But of the tree of the know- 
ledge of good and evil, ^thou shalt 
not eat of it : for in the day that 
thou eatest thereof ^ \ thou shalt 
surely die. 

18 If And the Lord God said, It is 
not good that the man should be 
alone : <=I will make him a help 
f meet for him. 

19 ^And out of the ground the 
Lord God formed every beast of the 
field, and every fowl of the air, and 
f brought them unto ||Adam to see 
what he would call them ; and what- 
soever Adam called every living 
creature, that was the name thereof 

20 And Adam fgave names to all 
cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and 
to eveiy beast of the field : but for 

4 



The serpent deceiveth Eve. 

Adam there was not found a help 
meet for him. 

21 And the Lord God caused a 
&deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and 
he slept ; and he took one of his 
ribs, and closed up the flesh instead 
thereof: 

22 And the rib, which the Lord 
God had taken from man, f made he 
a woman, and *) brought her unto the 
man. 

23 And Adam said, This is now 
' bone of my bones, and flesh of 
my flesh : she shall be called f Wo- 
man, because she Avas ''taken out of 
fman. 

24 'Therefore shall a man leave his 
father and his mother, and shall 
cleave unto his wife : and they shall 
be one flesh. 

25 ™And they were both naked, 
the man and his wife, and were not 
° ashamed. 

CHAP. m. 

1 Tlie serpent deceiveth Eve. 6 Man's shameful 
fall. 9 God arrni^nelh tliem. 14 The serpent 
is cursed. \o The promised seed. \& The pu- 
nishment of mankind. 21 Their first clothing. 
22 Their casting out of paradise. 

NOW »the serpent was ''more 
subtile than any beast of the field 
which the Lord God had made : 
and he said unto the woman, f Yea, 
hath God said, Ye shall not eat of 
every tree of the garden ? 

2 And the woman said unto the 
serpent, We may eat of the fruit of 
the trees of the garden : 

3 cBut of the fruit of the tree 
which is in the midst of the gar- 
den, God hath said. Ye shall not 
eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, 
lest ye die. 

4 '' And the serpent said unto the 
woman. Ye shall not surely die : 

5 For God doth know, that in the 
day ye eat thereof, then "^ your eyes 
shall be opened ; and ye shall be as 
gods, knowing good and evil. 

G And when tiie woman saw that 
the tree was good for food, and that 
it «as t pleasant to the eyes, and a 
tree to be desired to make'o?ie wise ; 
she took of the fruit thereof, ^and 
did eat ; and gave also unto her hus- 
band with her, eand he did eat. 

7 And ''the eyes of them both were 
Of>ened, ' and they knew that they 
were naked : and they sewed fig-

the serpent. Because thou hast done 
this, thou art cursed above all cattle,

10 And he said, What hast thou 
done? the voice of thy brother's

11 And now art thou cursed from 
the earth, which hath opened her 
mouth to receive thy brother's blood 
from thy hand. 

12 When thou tillest the ground, it 
shall not henceforth yield unto thee 
her strength : A fugitive and a vaga- 
bond shalt thou be in the earth. 

13 And Cain said unto the Lord, 
II My punishment is greater than I 
can bear. 

14 1^ Behold, thou hast driven me 
out this day from the face of the 
earth ; and ' from thy face shall I be 
hid ; and I shall be a fugitive and a 
vagabond in the earth ; and it shall 
come to pass, ^'^that every one that 
findeth me shall slay me. 

15 And the Lord said unto him, 
Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, 
vengeance shall be taken on him 
" seven- fold. And the Lord ° set a 
mark upon Cain, lest any finding 
him should kill him. 

16 T[ And Cain Pwent out from the 
presence of the Lord, and dwelt in 
the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

she conceived, and baref Enoch: and

and of such as have cattle.

end of all flesh is come before me ; 
for the earth is filled with violence

14 TIMake thee an ark of gopher- 
wood : f rooms shalt thou make in 
the ark, and shalt pitch it vdthin and 
without with pitch. 

15 And this is the fashion which 
thou shalt make it of: The length of 
the ark shall he three hundred cubits, 
the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the 
height of it thirty cubits. 

16 A window shalt thou make to 
the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou 
finish it above ; and the door of the 
ark shalt thou set in the side there- 
of : with lower, second, and third sto- 
ries shalt thou make it. 

17 ""And behold, I, even I, do bring 
a flood of waters upon the earth, to 
destroy all flesh, wherein fsthe breath 
of life, from under heaven: and every 
thing that is in the earth shall die. 

18 But with thee will I estabfish 
my covenant: and nhou shalt come 
into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and 
thy wife, and thy sons' wives with 
thee. 

19 And of every living thing of all 
flesh, Hwo of every sort shalt thou 
bring into the ark, to keep them alive 
with thee : they shall be male and 
female. 

20 Of fowls after their kind, and of 
cattle after their kind, of every creep- 
ing thing of the earth after has kind ; 
two of every sort "shall come unto 
thee, to keep them alive. 

21 And take thou unto thee of all 
food that is eaten, and thou shalt 
gather it to thee ; and it shall be for 
food for thee, and for them.

of forty days, that Noah opened '"the 
window of the ark which he had 
made : 

7 And he sent forth a raven, which 
went forth f to and fro, until the wa-

8 Also he sent forth a dove from 
him, to see if the waters were abated 
from off" the face of the ground ; 

9 But the dove found no rest for 
the sole of her foot, and she returned 
unto him into the ark ; for the waters 
we7-e on the face of the whole earth. 
Then he put forth his hand, and took 
her, and f pulled her in unto him in- 
to the ark. 

10 And he stayed yet other seven 
days, and again he sent forth the 
dove out of the ark. 

1 1 And the dove came in to him in 
the evening, and lo, in her mouth was 
an olive-leaf pluckt off". So Noah 
knew that the M'aters were abated 
from off" the earth. 

12 And he stayed yet other seven 
days, and sent forth the dove ; which 
returned not again unto him any more. 

13 HAnd it came to pass in the six 
hundredth and first year, in the first 
month, the first day of the month, 
the waters were dried up from off" the 
earth: and Noah removed the cover- 
ing of the ark, and looked, and be- 
hold, the /ace of the ground was dry. 

14 And in the second month, on 
the seven and twentieth day of the 
month, was the earth dried.

forbidden. 8 God's coveitatit, 13 signified by

20 plantelh a vineyard, 21 is drunken, and 
mocked of his son, 25 curseth Canaan, 26 
blesseth Hhem, 27 prayeth for Japheth, 29 and 
dieth. 

A ND God blessed Noah and his 
r^ sons, and said unto them, ^^Be 
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish 
the earth. 

2 ''And the fear of you, and the 
dread of you, shall be upon every 
beast of the earth, and upon every 
fowl of the air, upon all that movetb 
upon the earth, and upon all the 
fishes of the sea ; into your hand are 
they delivered. 

3 c Every moving thing that liveth 
shall be meat for you ; even as the 
^ green herb have I given you ^ all 
things. 

4 ' But flesh with the life thereof, 
which is the blood thereof, shall ye 
not eat. 

5 And surely your blood of your 
lives will I require : eat the hand of 
every beast will I require it, and ^at 
the hand of man ; at the hand of 
every 'man's brother will I require 
the life of man. 

6 J^ Whoso sheddeth man's blood, 
by man shall his blood be shed : 'for 
in the image of God made he man. 

7 And you, ™ be ye fruitful, and 
multiply ; bring forth abundantly in 
the earth, and multiply therein. 

8 ^ And God spake unto Noah, 
and to his sons with him, saying, 

9 And I, " behold, I establish ° my 
covenant with you, and with your 
seed after you ; 

10 PAnd with every living creature 

10 



The covenant of the rainbow. 

that is with you, of the fowl, of the 
cattle, and of even' beast of the earth 
with you, from all that go out of 
the ark, to everv' beast of the earth. 

11 And <il will establish my cove- 
nant with you ; neither shall all flesh 
be cut off' any more by the waters of 
a flood ; neither shall there any more 
be a flood to destroy the earth. 

12 And God said, ^This is the token 
of the covenant which I make be- 
tween me and you, and every living 
creature that is with you, for perpe- 
tual generations. 

13 1 do set ^my bow in the cloud, 
and it shall be for a token of a cove- 
nant between me and the earth, 

14 And it shall come to pass, when 
I bring a cloud over the earth, that 
the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 

15 And "I will remember my co- 
venant, which is between me and you, 
and ever}' living creature of all flesh; 
and the waters shall no more become 
a flood to destroy all flesh. 

16 And the bow shall be in the 
cloud ; and I will look upon it, that 
I may remember "the everlasting co- 
venant between God and every living 
creature of all flesh that is upon the 
earth. 

17 And God said unto Noah, This 
is the token of the covenant which 
I have established between me and 
all flesh that is upon the earth. 

18 1 And the sons of Noah that 
went forth of the ark, were Shem, 
and Ham, and Japheth: ^and Ham 
IS the father of f Canaan. 

19 y These are the three sons of; 
Noah: Zand of them was the whole j 
earth overspread. 

20 And Noah began to 6e =»a hus-| 
bandman,and ho planted a vineyard: 

21 And he drank of the wine, ''and 
was drunken ; and he was uncovered 
within his tent, 

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, 
saw the nakedness of his father, and 
told his two brethren without. 

23 <=And Shem and Japheth took a 
garment, and laid it upon both their 
shoulders, and went backward, and 
covered the nakedness of their fa- 
ther: and their faces were backward, 
and they saw not their father's na- 
kedness.

AND the whole earth was of one 
f language, and of one f speech. 

2 And it came to pass, as they 
ourneyed || from the east, that they 

found a plain in the land of Shinar, 
and they dwelt there. 

3 And f they said one to another, 
Go to, let us make brick, and f burn 
them thoroughly. And they had 
brick for stone, and shme had they 
for mortar. 

4 And they said. Go to, let us build 
us a city, and a tower, » whose top 
may reach unto heaven ; and let us 
make us a name, lest we be scattered 
abroad upon the face of the whole 
earth. 

5 ^And the Lord came down to 
see the city and the tower, which the 
children of men builded. 

6 And the Lord said. Behold, ^the 
people is one, and they have all "^one 
language ; and this they begin to do : 
and now nothing will be restrained 
from them, which they have ^ ima- 
gined to do. 

7 Go to, f let us go down, and there 
confound their language, that they 
may snot understand one another's 
speech. 

8 So ''the Lord scattered them a- 
broad from thence ' upon the face of 
all the earth : and they left off to 
build the city.

hundred and five years : and Terah 
died in Haran. 

CHAP. XH. 

1 God calleih Abram, and blesseih him icith a 
promise of Christ. 4 He deparieth icith Lot 
from Haran. 6 He journeyeth through Ca- 
naan, 7 which is promised him in a vision. 
10 He M driven by a famine into Egypt, 11 
Fear rnaketh him feign his -wife to be his sister. 
14 Pharaoh, having taken her from him, by 
plagues is compelled to restore her. 

OW the ^LouD had said unto 
Abram, Get thee out of thy 
country, and from thy kindred, and 
from thy father's house, unto a land 
that I will shew thee : 

2 ''And I will make of thee a great 
nation, ^and I will bless thee, and 
make thy name great; <iand thou 
shalt be a blessing : 

3 « And I will bless them that bless 
thee, and curse him that curseththee : 
fand in thee shall all families of the 
earth be blessed. 

4 So Abram departed, as the Lord 
had spoken unto him, and Lot went 
with him : and Abram was seventy 
and five years old when he departed 
out of Haran. 

5 And Abram took Sarai his vnfe, 
and Lot his brother's son, and all 
their substance that they had gather- 
ed, and ?the souls that they liad got- 
ten ''in Haran ; and they went forth 
to go into the land of Canaan ; and 
into the land of Canaan they came. 

6 H And Abram 'passed through 
iwhe land unto the place of Sichem, 

''unto the plain of Moreh. 'And the 
Canaanite was then in the land. 

7 niAnd the Lord appeared unto 
Abram, and said, " Unto thy seed will 
I give this land : and there builded 
he an "altar unto the Lord, who ap- 
peared unto him. 

8 And he removed from thence 
unto a mountain on the east of Beth- 
el, and pitched his tent, having Beth- 
el on tlie west, and Hai on the east : 
and there he builded an ahar unto 
the Lord, and i' called upon the 
name of the Lord. 

9 And Abram journeyed, f "igoing 
on still toward the south. 

10 T[ And there was ""a famine in 
the land : and Abram ^went down 

nto Egypt to sojourn there ; for the 
famine was 'grievous in the land. 

1 1 And it came to pass,when he was 
come near to enter into EgA'pt, that 

13 



Abram sojournetU in Egypt. 

he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold 
now, I know that thou art "a fair 
woman to look upon : 

12 Tlierefore it shall come to pass, 
when tiie Egyptians shall see thee, 
that they shall say. This is his wife : 
and they "will kill me, but they will 
save thee aUve. 

13 ■'^Say, I pray thee, thou art my 
sister : that it may be well with me 
for thy sake ; and my soul shall hve 
because of thee. 

14 *lf And it came to pass, that 
when Abram was come into Egypt, 
the Egyptians )' beheld the woman 
that she was veiy fair. 

15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw 
her, and commended her before Pha- 
raoh : and the woman was ^ taken in- 
to Pharaoh's house. 

16 And he ^^ entreated Abram well 
for her sake : and he had sheep, and 
oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, 
and maid-servants, and she-asses, and 
camels. 

17 And the Lord ti plagued Pha- 
raoh and his house with great plagues 
because of Sarai, Abram's wife. 

18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and 
said, cWhat is this tJtat thou hast 
done unto me ? why didst thou not 
tell me that she was thy wife ? 

19 Why saidst thou, She is my 
sister ? so I might have taken her to 
me to v/ife : now therefore behold 
thy wife, take her, and go thy way. 

20 '^Knd Pharaoh commanded his 
men concerning him : and they sent 
him away, and his wife, and all that 
he had.

AND Abram went up out of Egypt,

2 "^And Abram was very rich in 
cattle, in silver, and in gold. 

3 And he went on his journeys <= from

beginning, between Beth-el and Hai ;

Abram and Lot part asunder. 

5 °i[ And Lot also, which went with 
Abram, had flocks, and herds, and 
tents. 

6 And fthe land was not able to 
bear them, that they might dwell to- 
gether : for their substance was great, 
so that they could not dwell together. 

7 And there was Sa strife between 
the herdmen of Abram's cattle and 
the herdmen of Lot's cattle : ''and the 
Canaanite and the Pei'izzite dwelled 
then in the land. 

8 And Abram said unto Lot, 'Let 
there be no strife, I pray thee, be- 
tween me and thee, and between my 
herdmen and thy herdmen ; for we 
be f brethren. 

9 ^Is not the whole land before 
thee ? Separate thyself, I pray thee, 
from me : ' if thou wilt take the left 
hand, then I will go to the right ; or 
if thou depart to the right hand, then 
I will go to the left. 

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and 
beheld all "^the plain of Jordan, that 
it was well watered every where, be- 
fore the Lord "destroyed Sodom and 
Gomorrah, °even as the garden of 
the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as 
thou comest unto PZoar. 

1 1 Then Lot chose him all the plain 
of Jordan ; and Lot journeyed east : 
and they separated themselves the 
one from the other. 

12 Abram dwelled in the land of 
Canaan, and Lot i dwelled in the 
cities of the plain, and ''pitched his 
tent toward Sodom. 

13 But the men of Sodom ^were 
wicked and 'sinners before the Lord, 
exceedingly. 

14 ^ And the Lord said unto A- 
bram, after that Lot "was separated 
from him. Lift up now thine eyes, 
and look from the place where thou 
art, w northward, and southward, and 
eastward, and westward : 

15 For all the land which thou 
seest, ''to thee will I give it, and yto 
thy seed for ever. 

16 And ^I will make thy seed as 
the dust of the earth: so that if a 
man can number the dust of the 
earth, then shall thy seed also be 
numbered. 

17 Arise, walk through the land in 
the length of it and in the breadth of 
it ; for I will give it unto thee.

T}ie battle of the kings. 

18 Then Abram removed his tent, 
and came and a dwelt in the f plain 
of Mamre, ''which is in Hebron, and 
built there an altar unto the Lord.

1 The battle of four kin^s against five. 11 Lot is 
' taken prisoner. 14 Abram rescueth him. 18 
Melchizedek blesseth Abram. 20 Abram giveih 
him tithe. 22 The rest of the spoil, his part- 
ners having had their portions, he resloreth to 
the king of Sodom. 

AND it came to pass, in the days 
ofAmraphel king '^ of Shinar, 
Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlao- 
mer king of ''Elam, and Tidal king 
of nations ; 

2 That these made war with Bera 
king of Sodom, and with Birsha king 
of Gomorrah, Shinab king of = Ad- 
mah, and Shemeber king of Ze- 
boiim, and the king of Bela, which 
is '^ Zoar. 

3 All these were joined together in 
the vale of Siddim, <= which is the salt 
sea. 

4 Twelve years ''they served Che- 
dorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year 
they rebelled. 

5 And in the fourteenth year came 
Ghedorlaomer, and the kings that 
were with him, and smote ethe Re- 
phaims ''in Ashterotli Karnaim, and 
'the Zuzims in Ham, i-'and the Emims 
in II Shaveh Kiriathaim, 

6 'And the Horites in their mount 
Seir, unto || El-paran, which is by 
the wilderness. 

7 And they returned, and came to 
En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and 
smote all the country of the Ama- 
lekites, and also the Amorites, that 
dwelt "lin Hazezon-tamar. 

8 And there went out the king of 
Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, 
and the king of Adinah, and the 
king of Zeboiim, and the king of 
Bela, (the same is Zoar ;) and they 
joined battle with tiieni in the vale 
of Siddim ; 

9 With Ghedorlaomer the king of 
Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, 
and Amraphel king of Shinar, and 
Arioch king of Ellasar ; four kings 
with five. 

10 And the vale of Siddim was full

there : and they tliat remained fled

Lot is tahen captive, and rescued. 

11 And they took Pall the goods of 
Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their 
victuals, and went their way. 

12 And they took Lot, Abram's 
^brother's son, ''who dwelt in Sodom, 
and his goods, and departed. 

13 ^ And there came one that had 
escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew ; 
for ^he dwelt in the plain of Mamre 
the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and 
brother of Aner : 'and these were 
confederate with Abram. 

14 And when Abram heard that 
"his brother was taken captive, he 
II armed his || trained servants, '^'^' born 
in his own house, three hundred and 
eighteen, and pursued them ^unto 
Dan. 

15 And he divided himself against 
them, he and his servants by night,

unto Hobah, which is on the left 
hand of Damascus. 

16 And he brought back ^^all the 
goods, and also brought again his 
brother Lot, and his goods, and the 
women also, and the people. 

17 T[ And the king of Sodom ^went

CHAP. XV. 

1 God encourag-efh Abram. 2 Abram complaitieih 
far want of an heir. 4 God promiseih him a son, 
and a muttiplijing of his seed. 6 Abram is jus- 
tified by faith. 7 Canaan is promised again, 
and conjirrned by a sign, 12 and a vision. 

AFTER these things the word 
of the Lord came unto Abram 
a- in a vision, saying, ^ Fear not, A- 
bram : I am thy " shield, and thy ex- 
ceeding <^ great reward. 

2 And Abram said. Lord God, what 
wih thou give me, <= seeing I go child- 
less, and the steward of my house is 
this Eliezer of Damascus ? 

3 And Abram said. Behold, to me 
thou hast given no seed : and lo, 
f one born in my house is mine heir. 

4 And behold, the word of the 
Lord came unto him, saying. This 
shall not be thine heir ; but he that 
e shall come forth out of thine own 
bowels shall be thine heir. 

5 And he brought him forth abroad, 
and said. Look now toward heaven, 
and h tell the ' stars, if thou be able 
to number them : and he said unto 
him, ^ So shall thy seed be. 

6 And he ' believed in the Lord ; 
and he ™ counted it to him for right- j 
eousness. 

7 And he said unto him, I am the 
Lord that "brought thee out of °Ur 
of the Chaldees, p to give thee this 
land to inherit it. 

8 And he said. Lord God, iwhere- 
by shall I know that I shall inherit it ? 

9 And he said unto him. Take me 
a heifer of three years old, and a she- 
goat of three years old, and a ram of 
three years old, and a turtle-dove, and 
a young pigeon. 

10 And he took unto him all these, 
and ''divided them in the midst, and 
laid each piece one against another 
but ^the birds divided he not. 

1 1 And when the fowls came down 
upon the carcasses, Abram drove 
them away. 

12 And when the sun was going 
down, ' a deep sleep fell upon Abram ; 
and lo, a horror of great darkness 
fell upon him. 

13 And he said unto Abram, Know 
of a surety "that thy seed shall be a ^o^xod.K. 
stranger in a land tliat is not theirs, Acts'^e^

18 In that same day the Lord 
e made a covenant with Abram, say-

Abram ^ had dwelt ten years in the 
land of Canaan, and gave her to her

3 And Abram ffell on his face : and 
God talked with him, saying, 

4 As for me, behold, my covenant 
is with thee, and thou shalt be sa fa- 
ther of t many nations. 

5 Neither shall thy name any more 
be called Abram; but 'Uhy name shall 
be II Abraham ; ' for a father of many 
nations have I made thee. 

6 And I will make thee exceeding 
fruitful, and I will make ^ nations of 
thee ; and ' kings shall come out of 
thee. 

7 And I will "» establish my covenant 
between me and thee, and thy seed 
after thee, Ln their generation.?, for an 
everlasting covenant ; " to be a God 
unto thee, and to °thy seed after thee. 

8 And pI will give unto thee, and 
to thy seed after thee, the land 
f 1 wherein thou art a stranger, all 
the land of Canaan, for an everlasting 
possession ; and "^I will be their God, 

9 TI And God said unto Abraham, 
Thou shalt keep my covenant there- 
fore, thou, and thy seed after thee, in 
their generations. 

10 This is my covenant, which ye 
shall keep, between me and you, and 
thy seed after thee ; ^ Every man- 
child among you shall be circumcised. 

1 1 And ye shall circumcise the flesh 
of your foreskin ; and it shall be ' a 
token of the covenant betwixt me 
and you. 

12 And f he that is eight days old 
"shall be circumcised among you, 
every man-child in your generations, 
he that is born in the house, or bought 
with money of any stranger, which zs 
not of thy seed. 

13 He that is bom in thy house, 
and he that is bought with thy money, 
must needs be circumcised : and my 
covenant shall be in your flesh for an 
everlasting covenant. 

14 And the uncircumcised man- 
child, whose flesh of his foreskin is 
not circumcised, that soul "■" shall be 
cut oft" from his people ; he hath 
broken my covenant. 

15 TI And God said unto Abraham, 
As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not 
call her name Sarai, but |i Sarah shall 
her name be. 

16 And I will bless her, ^ and give 

17 



Isaac is promised. 

thee a son also of her : yea, I wTi 
bless her, and f she shall be a mother 
y of nations ; kings of people shall be 
of her. 

17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, 
z and laughed, and said in his heart, 
Shall a child be born unto him that 
is a hundred years old ? and shall 
Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear ? 

18 And Abraham said unto God, O 
that Ishmael might live before thee ! 

19 And God said, ==• Sarah thy wife 
shall bear thee a son indeed ; and 
thou shalt call his name Isaac : and I 
will establish my covenant with him 
for an everlasting covenant, and with 
his seed after him. 

20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard 
thee : Behold, I have blessed him, 
and will make him fruitful, and ^ will 
multiply him exceedingly: <= twelve 
princes shall he beget, <^ and I will 
make him a great nation. 

21 But my covenant will I establish 
with Isaac, « whom Sarah shall bear 
unto thee at this set time in the next 
year. 

22 And he left off talking with him 
and God went up from Abraham. 

23 ■[[ And Abraham took Ishmael 
his son, and all that were born in his 
house, and all that were bought with 
his money, every male among the 
men of Abraham's house ; and cir- 
cumcised the flesh of their foreskin, 
in the self-same day, as God had said 
unto him. 

24 And Abraham ivas ninety years 
old and nine, when he was circum- 
cised in the flesh of his foreskin. 

25 And Ishmael his son ivas thirteen 
years old, when he was circumcised 
in the flesh of his foreskin. 

20 In the self-same day was Abra- 
hamcircumcised, and Ishmael his son ; 

27 And 'all the men of his house, 
born in the house, and bought with

cised with him.

Abraham entertaineth three angels. 

2 ''And he lifted up his eyes and 
looked, and lo, three men stood by 
him : ^ and when he saw thejn, he ran 
to meet them from the tent-door, and 
bowed himself toward the ground, 

3 And said. My Lord, if now I have 
found favour in thy sight, pass not 
away, I pray thee, from thy servant ; 

4 Let d a little water, I pray you, be 
fetched, and wash your feet, and rest 
yourselves under the tree : 

5 And <^I will fetch a morsel of 
bread, and f f comfort ye your hearts; 
after that ye shall pass on: gfor there- 
fore f are ye come to your servant. 
And they said. So do, as thou hast 
said. 

6 And Abraham hastened into the 
tent unto Sarah, and said, f Make 
ready quickly three measures of fine 
meal, knead it, and make cakes upon 
the hearth. 

7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, 
and fetched a calf tender and good, 
and gave it unto a young man ; and 
he hasted to dress it. 

8 And ^ he took butter, and milk, 
and the calf which he had dressed, 
and set it before them ; and he stood 
by them under the tree, and they did 
eat. 

9 ^ And they said unto him. Where 
is Sarah thy wife ? And he ^aid, Be- 
hold, ' in the tent. 

10 And he said, I ^will certainly 
return unto thee i according to the 
time of life ; and lo, '" Sarah thy wife 
shall have a son. And Sarah heard 
it in the tent-door, which was behind 
him. 

11 Now "Abraham and Sarah were 
old and well stricken in age ; and it 
ceased to be with Sarah ° after the 
manner of women. 

12 Therefore Sarah Plaughed within 
herself, saying, q After I am waxed 
old shall I have pleasure, my i' lord 
being old also ? 

13 And the Lord said unto Abra- 
ham, Wherefore did Sarah laugli, 
saying. Shall I of a surety bear a 
child, which am old ? 

14 s Is any thing too hard for tha 
Lord ? ^At the time appointed I will 
return unto thee, according to the 
time of life, and Sarah shall have a 
son. 

15 Then Sarah denied, saying, 1

He intercedeth for Sodom. 

laughed not ; for she was afraid. 
And he said, Nay ; but thou didst 
laugh. 

16 TT And the men rose up from 
thence, and looked toward Sodom : 
and Abraham went with them " to 
bring them on the way. 

17 And the Loud said, ^^'Shall I hide 
from Abraham tiiat thing which I do; 

18 Seeing that Abraham shall sure- 
ly become a great and mighty na- 
tion, and all tlie nations of the earth 
shall be ^blessed in him ? 

19 For I know him, > that he will 
command liis children and his house- 
hold after him, and they shall keep 
the way of the Lord, to do justice 
and judgment ; that the Loud may 
bring upon Abraiiam that which he 
hath spoken of him. 

20 Ajid the Lord said. Because ^the 
cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, 
and because their sin is very grievous, 

21 '^ I Avill go down now, and see 
whether they have done altogether ac- 
cording to the cr}' of it,wluch is come 
unto me ; and if not, ^ I w ill know. 

22 And the men turned their faces 
from thence, « and went toward So- 
dom : but Abraham '^ stood yet be- 
fore the Lord. 

23 H And Abraham ^drcw near,and 
said, *Wilt thou also destroy the 
righteous with the w icked ? 

24 g Peradventure there be fifty 
righteous within the city : wilt thou 
also destroy and not spare the place for 
the fifty righteous that arc tlicrein ? 

25 That be far from thee to do after 
this manner, to slay the righteous 
with the wicked; and ''that the riglit- 
cous sliould be as the wicked, that 
be far from thee: 'Shall not the 
Judge of all the earth do right ? 

26 And the Lord said, ^ If I find 
in Sodom fifty righteous within the 
city, then I will spare all the place 
for their sakes. 

27 And Abraham answered and said, 
1 Behold now, I have taken upon me 
to speak unto the Lord, which am 
'" but dust and ashes : 

28 Peradventure there shall lack 
five of the fifty righteous : wilt thou 
destroy all the city for lack o/'fivc? 
And he said. If I find there forty and 
five, I will not destroy iL 

29 And he spake unto him yet again,

do it, if I find thirty there. 

31 And he said, Behold now, I have 
taken upon me to speak unto the 
Lord: Peradventure there shall be 
twenty found there. And he said, I 
will not destroy it for twenty's sake.

but this once: Peradventure ten shall 
be found there. °And he said, I will

33 And the Lord went his way, as 
soon as he had left communing with 
Abraham : and Abraham returned 
unto his place.

ND there ^^came two angels to 
Sodom at even ; and Lot sat in 
the gate of Sodom; and ''Lot, seeing 
them, rose up to meet them ; and he 
bowed himself with his face toward 
the gromid ; 

2 And he said. Behold now, my 
lords, '^ turn in, I pray you, into your 
servant's house, and tarry all night, 
and ''wash your feet, and ye shall 
rise up early, and go on your ways. 
And they said, cNay ; but we will 
abide in the street all night. 

3 And he pressed upon them great- 
ly; and they turned in unto him, and 
entered into his house ; 'and he 
made them a feast, and did bake 
unleavened bread, and they did eat. 

4 11 But before they lay down, the 
men of the city, even the men of 
Sodom, compassed the house round, 
both old and young, all the people 
from ever)' quarter : 

5 sAnd they called unto Lot, and 
said unto him, Where are the men 
which came in to thee this night? 
'bring them out unto us, that we 

may know them. 

G And ''Lot went out at the door un- 
to them, and shut the door after him, 
19 



Lot is sent out of Sodom. 

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, 
do not so wickedly. 

8 'Behold now, I have two daugh- 
ters which have not known man ; let 
me, I pray you, bring them out unto 
you, and do ye to them as is good in 
your eyes : only unto these men do 
nothing; '"for therefore came they 
under the shadow of my roof. 

9 And they said. Stand back. And 
they said again, This one fellow 
»came in to sojourn, "and he will 
needs be a judge : Now will we deal 
worse with thee than with them. 
And they pressed sore upon the man, 
even Lot, and came near to break the 
door. 

10 But the men put forth their 
hand, and pulled Lot into the house 
to them, and shut to the door. 

11 And they smote the men Pthat 
were at the door of the house with 
blindness, both small and great : so 
that they wearied themselves to find 
the door. 

12 ^ And the men said unto Lot, 
Hast thou here any besides ? son-in- 
lavk^, and thy sons, and thy daughters, 
and whatsoever thou hast in the city, 
<l bring them out of this place : 

13 For we will destroy this place, 
because the ^cry of them is waxen 
great before the face of the Lord ; 
and Hhe Lord hath sent us to de- 
stroy it. 

14 And Lot went out, and spake 
unto his sons-in-law, 'which married 
his daughters, and said, "Up, get you 
out of this place ; for the Lord Avill 
destroy this city : ''but he seemed as 
one that mocked unto his sons-in 
law. 

15 IT And when the morning arose, 
then the angels hastened Lot, saying, 
TArise, take thy wife, and thy two 
daughters which f are here, lest thou 
be consumed in the || iniquity of the 
city. 

16 And while he lingered, the men 
laid hold upon his hand, and upon 
the hand of his wife, and upon the 
hand of his two daughters; "^thc 
Lord being merciful unto him; ^and 
they brought him forth, and set him 
without the city. 

17 •[[ And it came to pass, when 
they had brought them forth abroad, 
that he said, = Escape for thy life :

Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed. 

"^look not behind thee, neither stay 
thou in all the plain : escape to the 
mountain, lest thou be consumed. 

18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, 
f=not so, my Lord 1 

19 Behold now, thy servant hath 
found grace in thy sight, and thou 
hast magnified thy mercy, which 
thou hast shewed unto me in saving 
my life : and I cannot escape to the 
mountain, lest some evil take me, 
and I die : 

20 Behold now, this city is near to 
flee unto, and it is a little one : Oh, 
let me escape thither ! {is it not a lit- 
tle one ?) and my soul shall live. 

21 And he said unto him, See, ^"1 
have accepted -f thee concerning this 
thing also, that I will not overthrow 
this city, for the which thou hast 
spoken. 

22 Haste thee, escape thither; for 
ol cannot do any thing till thou be 
come thither: therefore ''the name 
of the city was called |1 Zoar. 

23 II The sun was f risen upon the 
earth when Lot entered into Zoar. 

24 Then Hhe Lord rained upon 
Sodom and upon Gomorrah brim- 
stone and fu'e from the Lord out of 
heaven ; 

25 And he overthrew those cities, 
and all the plain, and all the inha- 
bitants of the cities, and Hhat which 
grew upon the ground. 

26 TI But his wife looked back from 
behind him, and she became 'a pil- 
lar of salt. 

27 ^ And Abraham gat up early in 
the morning to the place where "'he 
stood before the Lord : 

28 And he looked toward Sodom 
and Gomorrah, and toward all the 
land of the plain, and beheld, and 
lo, "the smoke of the country went 
up as the smoke of a furnace. 

29 H And it came to pass, when 
God destroyed the cities of the plain, 
that God ° remembered Abraham, 
and sent Lot out of the midst of the 
overthrow, when he overthrew the 
cities in the which Lot dwelt. 

30 ^ And Lot went up out of Zoar, 
and P dwelt in the mountain, and his 
two daughters Vv^ith him ; for he fear- 
ed to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in 
a cave, he, and his two daughters. 

31 And the first-born said unto the

younger, Our father is old, and they-e 
is not a man in the earth ito come in 
unto us after the manner of all the 
earth : 

32 Come, let us make our father 
drink wine, and we will lie with liim, 
that we "^may preserve seed of our 
father. - 

33 And they made their father 
drink wine that night : and the first- 
born went in, and lay with her fa- 
ther; and he perceived not when she 
lay down, nor w hen she arose. 

34 And it came to pass on the mor- 
row, that the fii-st-born said unto the 
younger. Behold, I lay yesternight 
with my father : let us make luni 
drink wine this night also ; and go 
thou in, and lie with him, that we 
may preserve seed of our father. 

35 And they made their father 
drink wine that night also : and the 
younger arose, and lay with him ; 
and he perceived not when she lay 
down, nor when she arose. 

36 Thus were both the daughters of 
Lot with child by their father. 

37 And the first-bom bare a son, and 
called his name Moab : ^the same is 
the father of the Moabitcs mito this 
day. 

38 And the younger, she also bare a 
son, and called his name Ben-ammi : 
•the same is the father of the children 
of Ammon unto this day.

Abimelech restoreth Sarah. 

He is my brother : "^in the 1| integri- 
ty of my heart and innocency of my 
hands have I done this. 

6 And God said unto him in a 
dream. Yea, I know that thou didst 
this in the integrity of thy heart ; 
for ^I also withheld thee from sin- 
ning ""against me: therefore suffered 
I thee not to touch her. 

7 Nowtherefore restore the maixhis 
wife; "for he is a prophet, and he 
shall pray for thee, and thou shalt 
live : and if thou restore her not, 
"know thou that thou shalt surely 
die, thou Pand all that are thine. 

8 Therefore Abimelech rose early 
in the morning, and called all his ser- 
vants, and told all these things in their 
ears : and the men were sore afraid. 

9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, 
and said unto him, AMiat hast thou 
done unto us ? and what have I of- 
fended thee, ithat thou hast brought 
on me and on my kingdom a great 
sin ? thou hast done deeds unto me 
"■that ouglit not to be done. 

10 And Abimelech said unto Abra- 
ham, What sawest thou, that thou 
hast done this thing ? 

1 1 /Vnd Abraham said, Because I 
thought. Surely *the fear of God is 
not in this place ; and 'they will slay 
me for my wife's sake. 

12 And yet indeed ^she is my sis- 
ter ; she i3 the daughter of my father, 
but not the daughter of my mother : 
and she became my wife. 

13 And it came to pass, when 
^God caused me to wander from my 
father's house, that I said unto her, 
This is thy kindness which thou shalt 
shew unto me ; at every place whi- 
ther we shall come, isay of me. He 
is my brother. 

14 And Abimelech ^took sheep, and 
oxen, and men-servants, and women- 
servants, and gave them unto Abra- 
ham, and restored him Sarah liig 
wife. 

1 5 And Abimelech said, Behold, '^ my 
land is before thee : dwell f where 
it pleaseth thee. 

16 And unto Sarah he said. Behold, 
I have given ''thy brother a thousand 
pieces of silver: '^behold, he is to 
thee •'a covering of the eyes unto all 
that are with thee, and with all other: 
thus she was reproved.

Isaac is horn. 

17 H So Abraham « prayed unto 
God : and God healed Abimelech, 
and his wife, and his maid-servants ; 
and they bare children.

AND the Lord » visited Sarah as 
he had said, and the Lord did 
unto Sarah i^as he had spoken. 

2 For Sarah « conceived, and bare 
Abraham a son in his old age, ^at 
the set time of which God had spo- 
ken to him. 

3 And Abraham called the name of 
his son that was born unto him, 
whom Sarah bare to him, ^ Isaac. 

4 And Abraham ^circumcised his 
son Isaac, being eight days old, sas 
God had commanded him. 

5 And •» Abraham was a hundred 
years old, when his son Isaac was 
born unto him. 

6 II And Sarah said, "God hath 
made me to laugh, so that all that 
hear ^will laugh with me. 

7 And she said, Who would have 
said unto Abraham, that Sarah should 
have given children suck? 'for I have 
borne him a son in his old age. 

8 And the child grew, and was 
weaned: and Abraham made a great 
feast the same day that Isaac was 
weaned. 

9 Tf And Sarah saw the son of Ha-

even with Isaac. 

1 1 And the thing was very griev- 
ous in Abraham's sight, nbecause of 
his son. 

12 If And God said unto Abraham, 
Let it not be grievous in thy sight, 
because of the lad, and because of 
thy bond-woman ; in all that Sarah 
hath said unto thee, hearken unto 
her voice : for ""in Isaac shall thy 
seed be called.

An angel comforteth Hagaf, 

13 And also of the son of the bond- 
woman will I make ^a nation, be- 
cause he is thy seed. 

14 And Abraham rose up early in 
the morning, and took bread, and a 
bottle of water, and gave it unto Ha- 
gar (putting it on her shoulder) and 
the child, and 'sent her away: and 
she departed, and wandered in the 
wilderness of Beer-sheba. 

15 And the water was spent in the 
bottle, and she cast the child under 
one of the shrubs. 

16 And she went, and sat her down 
over against him, a good way off, as it 
were a bow-shot : for she said, Let 
me not see the death of the child. 
And she sat over against him, and 
hfted up her voice, and wept. 

17 And i^God heai'd the voice of the 
lad : and the angel of God called to 
Hagar out of heaven, and said unto 
her, What aileth thee, Hagar? Fear 
not ; for God hath heard the voice 
of the lad where he is. 

18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold 
him in thy hand: for ^I will make 
him a great nation. 

19 And ^God opened her eyes, and 
she saw a well of water : and she 
went, and filled the bottle with wa- 
ter, and gave the lad drink. 

20 And God ywas with the ladj 
and he grew, and dwelt in the wil- 
derness, 2 and became an archer. 

21 And he dwelt in the wilderness 
of Paran : and his mother '^took him 
a wife out of the land of Egypt. 

22 TI And it came to pass at that 
time, that ^ Abimelech and Phichol 
the .chief captain of his host spake 
unto Abraham, saying, <= God is with 
thee in all that thou doest: 

23 Now therefore ^ swear unto me 
here by God, f that thou wilt not deal 
falsely with me, nor with my son, 
nor with my son's son : hut accord- 
ing to the kindness that I have done 
unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, 
and to the land wherein thou hast 
sojourned. 

24 And Abraham said, I will swear. 

25 And Abraham reproved Abime- 
lech because of awell of water,which 
Abimelech's servants ^had violently 
taken away. 

26 And Abimelech said, I wot not 
who hath done this thing: neither 

22 



Abmm gweih proof 

didst thou tell me, neither yet heard 

I of it, but to-day. 

27 And Abraham took sheep and 
oxen, and gave them unto Abime- 
lech: and both of them 'made a co- 
venant. 

28 And Abraham set seven ewe- 
lambs of the flock by themselves. 

29 And Abimelech said unto Abra- 
ham, s"Wliat viean these seven ewe- 
lambs, which thou hast set by them- 
selves? 

30 And hesaid,For^/<ese seven ewe- 
lambs shalt thou take of my hand, 
that ''they may be a witness unto 
me that 1 iiave diojred this well. 

31 Wherefore he 'called that place 

II Beer-sheba ; because there they 
sware both of them. 

32 Thus they made a covenant at 
Beer-sheba: then Abimelech rose up, 
and Phichol the chief captain of his 
host, and they returned into the land 
of the Philistines. 

33 TI And ^46A-a/(aOT planted a || grove

6 And Abraham took the wood of 
the burnt-offering, and <'laid it upon 
Isaac his son : and he took the fire in 
his hand and a knife : and they went 
both of them together. 

7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham 
his father, and said, My father: and 
he said, f Here am I, my son. And 
he said, Behold the fire and the 
wood : but where is the || lamb for a 
burnt-offering 1 

8 And Abraliam said, ]\Iy son, God 
will provide himself a lamb for a 
burnt-offerfng : so they went both of 
them together. 

9 And they came to the place which 
God had told him of; and Abraliam 
built an aUar there, and laid the 
wood in order; and bound Isaac his 
son, and "^laid him on the altar upon 
the wood. 

10 And Abraham stretched forth 
his hand, and took the knife to slay 
his son. 

11 And the angel of the Lord call- 
ed unto him out of heaven, and said, 
Abraham, Abraham. And he said, 
Here am I. 

12 And he said, ''Lay not thine 
hand upon the lad, neither do thou 
any thing unto him: for enow I know 
that thou fearest God, seeing thou 
hast not witliJield thy son, thine only 
son, from me. 

13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, 
and looked, and behold, behind him a 
ram caugiit in a thicket by his horns: 
And Abraham went and took the ram, 
and olfered him up for a burnt-offer- 
ing in the stead of his son. 

14 And Abraham called the name 
of that place || Jehovah-jireh : as it 
is said lo this day. In the mount of 
the Lord it shall be seen. 

15 TI And the angel of the Lord 
called unto Abraham out of heaven 
the second time, 

16 And said, ''By myself have I 
sworn, saith the Lord, for because 
thou hast done this thing, and iia.st 
not withheld thy son, thine only son: 

17 That in blessing I will bless thee, 
and in multiplying I will multiply

19 So Abraham returned unto his 
young men, and they rose up, and 
went together to PBeer-sheba ; and 
Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba. 

20 TI And it came to pass after these 
things, that it was told Abraham, 
saying, Behold, iMilcah, she hath 
also borne children unto thy brother 
Nahor; 

21 ""Huz his first-born, and Buz his 
brother, and Kemuel the father ^of 
Aram, 

22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pil-

23 And 'Bethuel begat "Rebekah:

Canaan : And Abraham came to 
mourn for Sarah, and to weep for 
her.

10 And Ephron dwelt among the

Hittite answered Abraham in the 
f audience of the children of Heth, 
even of all that ^went in at the gate 
of his city, saying, 

11 sNay, my lord, hear me: the 
field give I thee, and the cave that is 
therein, I give it thee ; in the presence 
of the sons of my people give I it 
thee : bury thy dead. 

12 And Abraham bowed down him- 
self before the people of the land. 

13 And he spake unto Ephron in 
the audience of the people of the 
land, saying. But if thou wilt give it, 
I pray thee, hear me : I will give 
thee money for the field : take it of 
me, and I will bury my dead there. 

14 And Ephron answered Abra- 
ham, saying unto him, 

15 My lord, hearken unto me: the 
land is worth four hundred ii shekels 
of silver ; what zs that betwixt me and 
thee? buiy therefore thy dead. 

16 And Abraham hearkened unto 
Ephron, and Abraham 'weighed to 
Ephron the silver which he had nam- 
ed in the audience of the sons of 
Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, 
current vioney with the merchant.

which was therein, and all the trees

my master Abraliam, I pray thee, 
^ send me good speed this day, and 
shew kindness unto my master Abra- 
ham. 

13 Behold, tl stand here by the 
well of water; and "the daughters of 
the men of the city come out to draw 
water : 

14 And let it come to pass, that the 
damsel to whom 1 shall say, Let down 
thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may 
drink ; and she shall say. Drink, and 
I will give thy camels drink also : let 
the same be she that thou hast ap- 
pointed for thy servant Isaac ; and 
"thereby shall I know that thou hast 
shewed kindness unto my master. 

15 TI And it came to pass, before he 
had done speaking, that behold, Re- 
bekah came out, who was born to 
Bethuel, son of -^ Milcah, the wife of 
Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her 
pitcher upon her shoulder. 

16 And the damsel ywas f very fair 
to look upon, a virgin ; neither had 
any man known her : and slic Avent 
down to the well, and filled her pitch- 
er, and came up. 

17 And the sersant ran to meet her, 
and said. Let me, I pray thee, drink a 
little water of thy pitcher. 

18 ^And she said. Drink, my lord : 
and she hasted, and let down her 
pitcher upon her hand, and gave him 
drink. 

19 And when she. had done giving 
him drink, she said, I will draw wa- 
ter for thy camels also, until they 
have done drinking. 

20 And she hasted, and emptied her 
pitcher into the trough, and ran again 
unto the well to draw water, and 
drew for all his camels. 

21 And the man, wondering at her, 
held his peace, to wit whether "the 
Lord had made his journey prosper- 
ous, or not. 

22 And it came to pass, as the ca-

took a golden "^H ear-ring, of half a

the nations of the earth be blessed : 

5 'Because that Abraham obeyed

commandments, my statutes, and my

6 ■[[ And Isaac dwelt in Gerar : 

7 And the men of the place asked 
?iim of his wife ; and "'he said. She is 
my sister : for " he feared to say. She 
is my wife ; lest, said he, the men of 
the place should kill me for Rcbekah; 
because she "was fair to look upon. 

8 And it came to pass when he had 
been there a long time, that Abime- 
lech king of the Philistines looked 
out at a window, and saw, and be- 
hold, Isaac was sporting with Rebe- 
kah his wife. 

9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and 
said. Behold, of a surety she is thy 
wife : and how saidst thou, She is my 
sister? And Isaac said unto him, Be- 
cause I said. Lest I die for iior. 

10 And Abimelech said, What is 
this thou hast done unto us ? one of 
the people might lightly have lain 
with thy wife, and Pthou shouldcst 
have brought guiltiness upon us. 

1 1 And Abimelech charged all his 
people, saying. He that 'itoucheth 
this man or his wife shall surely be 
put to death. 

12 Then Isaac sowed in that land,

21 And they digged another well, 
and strove for that aI.so : and he call- 
ed the name of it || Sitnah. 

22 And he removed from thence, and 
digged another well ; and for that they 
strove not : and he called the name 
of it II Rehoboth ; and he said. For 
now the Lord hath made room for us, 
and we shall 'ibc fruitful in the land. 

23 And he went up from thence to

him the same night, and said, ^1 am

ed me these two times: Hie took away 
my birth-right ; and behold, now he 
hath taken away my blessing. And 
he said, Hast thou not reserved a 
blessing for me ? 

37 And Isaac answered and said un- 
to Esau, s Behold, I have made him 
thy lord, and all his brethren have I 
given to him for servants ; and '"with 
corn and wine have I 1| sustained 
him : and what shall I do now unto 



thee. 



my son 



38 And Esau said unto his father, 
Hast thou but one blessing, my fa- 
ther ? bless me, even me also, O my 
father ! And Esau lifted up his voice, 
'and wept. 

39 And Isaac his father answered, 
and said unto him. Behold, ^thy 
dwelling shall be || the fatness of the 
earth, and of the dew of heaven from 
above ; 

40 And by thy sword shalt thou 
live, and 'shalt serve thy brother: 
and '''it shall come to pass when thou 
shalt have the dominion, that thou 
shalt break his yoke from off' thy 
neck. 

41 H And Esau "hated Jacob be- 
cause of the blessing wherewith his 
fatlier blessed him : and Esau said 
in his heart, » The days of mourning 
for my father are at hand, i'then 
will I slay my brother Jacob. 

42 And these Avords of Esau her 
elder son Avcre told to Rebekah : and 
she sent and called Jacob her younger 
son, and said unto him, Behold, thy 
brother Esau, as touching thee, doth 
'1 comfort himself, purjiosing to kill 
thee. 

43 Now therefore, my son, obey my 
voice : and arise, flee thou to Laban 
my brother ""to Ilaran ; 

44 And tarry with him a few days, 
until thy brothers fury turn away; 

45 Until thy brother's anger turn 
away from thee, and he forget t/iat 
wliich thou hast done to him : then 
I will send, and fetch thee from 
thence. Why should I be deprived 
also of you both in one day '! 

4G And Rebekah said to Isaac, ^I 
am weary of my life, because of the 
daughters of Ileth : 'if Jacob take

6 "^ When Esau saw that Isaac had

2 And he looked, and behold, a well 
in the field, and lo, there were three 
flocks of sheep lying by it ; for out 
of that well they watered the flocks : 
and a great stone was upon the well's 
mouth. 

3 xVnd thither were all the flocks 
gathered : and they rolled the stone 
from the well's mouth and watered 
the sheep, and put the stone again 
upon the well's mouth in his place. 

4 And Jacob said unto them. My 
brethren, whence he ye ? And they 
said. Of Haran are we. 

5 And he said unto them, Know 
ye Laban the son of Nahor f And 
they said. We know him. 

6 And he said unto them, f ^Is he 
well ? And they said. He is well : 
and behold,. Rachel his daughter 
Cometh with the sheep. 

7 And he said, Lo, f it is yet high 
day, neither is it time that the cattle 
should be gathered together : water 
ye the sheep, and go and feed tliem. 

8 And they said. We cannot, until all 
the flocks be gathered together, and 
iiY/they roll the stone from the well's 
mouth ; then we water the sheep.

them, <^Rachelcame with her father's

of Laban his mother's brother, that 
Jacob went near, and ''rolled the 
stone from the well's mouth, and 
watered the flock of Laban his mo-

est thou therefore serve me for 
nought? tell me, what shall thy wa-

16 And Laban had two daughters : 
the name of the elder was Leah, and 
the name of the younger was Rachel. 

17 Leah was tender-eyed, but Ra- 
chel was beautiful and well-favoured. 

18 And Jacob loved Rachel ; and 
said, ''I will serve thee seven years 
for Rachel thy younger daughter. 

19 And Laban said. It is better that 
I give her to thee, than that I should 
give her to another man: abide with 
me. 

20 And Jacob 'served seven years 
for Rachel ; and they seemed unto 
him hut a few days, lor the love he 
had to her. 

21 II And Jacob said unto Laban, 
Give me my wife (for my days are 
fulfilled) that I may "go in unto her. 

22 And Laban gathered togetlier 
all the men of the place, and "made 
a feast. 

23 And it came to pass in the even- 
ing, that he took Leah his daughter, 
and brought her to him ; and he went 
in unto her. 

24 And Laban gave unto his daugh- 
ter Leah, Zilpah his maid,/or a hand- 
maid. 

25 And it came to pass, that in th6 
morning, behold, it was Leah : and 
he said to Laban, What is this thou 
hast done unto me? did not I serve 
with thee for Rachel ? wherefore then 
hast thou beguiled me? 

26 And Laban said. It must not be 
so done in our country, f to give the 
younger before the first-born. 

27 "Fulfil her week, and we will 
give thee this also, for the service 
which thou shalt serve with me yet 
seven other years. 

28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled 
her week : and he gave him Rachel 
his daughter to wife also. 

29 And Laban gave to Rachel his 
daughter, Bilhah his handmaid, to be 
her maid. 

30 And he went in also unto Rachel, 
and he p loved also Rachel more than 
Leah, and served with him lyet seven

ed : and she called his name || Ashen 

14 *[[ And Reuben went in the days 
of wheat-harvest, and found man- 
drakes in the field, and brought them 
unto his mother Leah. Then Ra- 
chel said to Leah, "Give me, I pray 
thee, of thy son's mandrakes. 

15 And she said unto her, ° Is it 
a small matter that thou hast taken 
my husband? and wouldest thou take 
awaymy son's mandrakes also? And 
Rachel said. Therefore he shall lie 
with thee to-night for thy son's man- 
drakes. 

16 And Jacob came out of the field 
in the evening, and Leah went out to 
meet him, and said, Thou must come 
in unto me ; for surely I have hired 
thee with my son's mandrakes. And 
he lay with her that night. 

17 And God hearkened unto Leah, 
and she conceived, and bare Jacob 
the fifth son. 

18 And Leah said, God hath given 
me my hire, because I have given 
my maiden to my husband : and she 
called his name || Issachar, 

19 And Leah conceived again, and 
bare Jacob the sixth son. 

20 And Leah said, God hath endow 
ed me with a good dowry ; now will 
my husband dwell with me, because 
I have borne him six sons : and she 
called his name || PZebulun. 

2 1 And afterwards she bare a daugh- 
ter, and called her name || Dinah. 

22 *^ And God i remembered Ra- 
chel, and God hearkened to her, and 
■■opened her womb. 

23 And she conceived, and bare a 
son ; and said, God hath taken away 
^my reproach: 

24 And she called his name |1 Jo- 
seph ; and said, 'The Lord shall add 
to me another son. 

25 "TIAnd it came to pass, when 
Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob 
said unto Laban, "Send me away, 

34 



Jacob desireih to depart from Laban. 

that I may go unto ^mme own place, 
and to my country. 

26 Give me my wives and my chil- 
dren,'' for whom I have served thee, 
and let me go : for thou knowest 
my service which I have done thee. 

27 And Laban said unto him, I pray 
thee, if I have found favour in thine 
eyes, tarry: for )'! have learned by 
experience that the Lord hath bless- 
ed me 2for thy sake. 

28 And he said, a- Appoint me thy 
w'ages, and I will give it. 

29 And he said unto him, bThou 
knowest how I have served thee, and 
how thy cattle was with me. 

30 For it was little which thou 
hadst before I came, and it is now 
t increased unto a multitude ; and 
the LoED hath blessed thee f since 
my coming : and now, when shall I 
•^provide for mine own house also ? 

31 And he said. What shall I give 
thee ? And Jacob said. Thou shalt 
not give me any thing. If thou wilt 
do this thing for me, I will again 
feed and keep thy flock: 

32 I will pass through all thy flock 
to-day, removing from thence all the 
speckled and spotted cattle, and all 
the brown cattle among the sheep, 
and the spotted and speckled among 
the goats: and ^ of such shall be my 
hire. 

33 So shall my e righteousness an- 
swer for me f in time to come, when 
it shall come for my hire before thy 
face: every one that is not speckled 
and spotted among the goats, and 
brown among the sheep, that shall 
be counted stolen with me. 

34 And Laban said. Behold, I would 
it might be according to thy word. 

35 And he removed that day the 
he-goats that were ring-streaked and 
spotted, and all the she-goats that 
were speckled and spotted, </n(i every 
one that had some white in it, and all 
the brown among the sheep, and gave 
ilie.m into the hands of his sons. 

3G And he set three davs' journey 
betwixt himself and Jacob : and Ja- 
cob fed the rest of Laban's flocks. 

37 ^And 'Jacob took him rods of 
green poplar, and of the hazel and 
chesnut-tree ; and pilled white streaks 
in them, and made the white appear 
which was in the rods.

Jacob becometh rich, 

38 And he set the rods which he had 
pilled before the flocks in the gutters 
in the watering-troughs when the 
flocks came to drink ; that they should 
conceive when they came to drink. 

39 And the flocks conceived before 
the rods, and brought forth cattle 
ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted. 

40 And Jacob did separate the 
lambs, and set the faces of the flocks 
toward the ring-streaked, and all the 
brown in the flock of Laban : and he 
put his own flocks by themselves, and 
put them not unto Laban's cattle. 

41 And it came to pass whenso- 
ever the stronger cattle did conceive, 
that Jacob laid the rods before the 
eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that 
they might conceive among the rods. 

42 But when the cattle were feeble, 
he put them not in: so the feebler 
were Laban's, and the stronger Ja- 
cob's. 

43 And the man s increased exceed-

The ring-streaked shall be thy hire ; 
then bare all the cattle ring-streaked. 

9 Thus God hath '"taken away the 
cattle of your father, and given them 
to me. 

10 And it came to pass at the time 
that the cattle conceived, that I lift- 
ed up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, 
and behold, the ||rams which leaped 
upon the cattle ivere ring-streaked,

11 And "the angel of God spake

12 And he said, Lift Up now thine

leap upon the cattle ai'e ring-streaked,

thou anointedst the pillc^r, and where 
thou vowedst a vow unto me :. now 
1 arise, get thee out from this land, 
and return unto the land of thy

14 And Rachel and Leah answered, 
and said unto him, '^Is thet'e yet any 
portion or inheritance for us in our 
father's house ? 

15 Are we not counted of him 
strangers ? for ^he hath sold us, and 
hath quite devoured also our money. 

16 For all the riches which God 
hath taken from our father, that is 
ours, and our children's : now then,

23 And he took •''his brethren with 
him, and pursued after him seven 
days' journey: and they overtook 
him in the mount Gilead. 

24 And God xcame to Laban the 
Syrian in a dream by night, and said 
unto him, Take heed that thou ^ speak 
not to Jacob f either good or bad. 

25 "[I Then Laban overtook Jacob. 
Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the 
mount : and Laban with his brethren 
pitched in the mount of Gilead. 

26 And Laban said to Jacob,What 
hast thou done, that thou hast stolen 
away unawares to me, and ^^ carried 
away my daughters, as captives 
taken with the sword ? 

27 Wherefore didst thou flee away 
secretly, and f steal away from me, 
and didst not tell me, that I might 
have sent thee away with mirth, and 
with songs, with tabret, and with 
harp ? 

28 And hast not suffered me ''to 
kiss my sons, and my daughters? 
cthou hast now done foohshly in so 
doing. 

29 It is in the power of my hand 
to do you hurt : but the ^ God of 
your father spake unto me "yester- 
night, saying. Take thou heed that 
thou speak not to Jacob either good 
or bad. 

30 And now, though thou wouldest 
needs be gone, because thou sore 
longedst after thy father's house ; yet 
wherefore hast thou f stolen my gods?' 

31 And Jacob answered and said 
to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I 
said, Per&dventure thou wouldest 
take by force thy daughters from me, 
! 32 With whomsoever thou findest 
thy gods, slet him not live : before 
our brethren discern thou what is 
thine with me, and take it to thee : 
for Jacob knew not that Rachel had 
stolen them. .; 

33 And Laban went into Jacob's 
tent, and into Leah's tent, and into 
the two maid-servants' tents ; but he 
found them. not. Then went he out 
of Leah's tent, and entered into Ra- 
chel's tent. - 

34 Now Rachel had taken the im- 
ages, and put them in the camel's 
furniture, and sat upon them. And < 
Laban ■\ searched all the tent, but 
found them not. '■■

Jacob's complaint of Laban. 

35 And she said to her father, Let 
it not displease my lord that I cannot 
'irise up before thee ; for the custom 
ofwomenzsuponme. And he search- 
ed, but found not the images. 

36 II And Jacob Mas wroth, and 
chode with Laban: and Jacob an- 
swered, and said to Laban, What is 
my trespass? what is my sin, tliat 
thou hast so hotly pursued after 
me? 

37 Whereas thou hast searched all 
my stuff, what hast thou found of all 
thy household-stuff? set it here be- 
fore my brethren, and thy brethren, 
that they may judge betwixt us both. 

38 This twenty years have I been 
with thee ; thy ewes and thy she- 
goats have not cast their young, and 
the rams of thy flock have I not 
eaten. 

39 'That whicli was torn of beasts, 
I brought not unto thee ; I bare the 
loss of it; of Is my hand didst thou 
require it, whether stolen by day, or 
stolen by night. 

40 Thus I was; in the day the 
drought consumed me, and the frost 
by night; and my sleep departed 
from mine eyes. 

41 Thus have I been twenty years 
in thy house : I 'served thee fourteen 
years for thy two daughters, and six 
years for thy cattle : and '"thou hast 
changed my wages ten times. 

42 "Except the God of my father, 
the God of Abraham, and » the Fear 
of Isaac had been with me, surely 
thou hadst sent me away now empty. 
pGod hath seen mine affliction, and 
the labourof my hands, and 'i rebuked 
thee yesternight. 

43 H And Laban answered, and said 
unto Jacob, These daughters are my 
daughters, and these children a7-e my 
children, and these cattle ore my cat- 
tle, and all that thou seest is mine ; 
and what can I do this day unto these 
my daughters, or unto their children 
which they have borne ? 

44 Now therefore come thou, •■ let 
us make a covenant, I and thou; 
»and let it be for a witness between

Jacob's message to Esau. GENESIS. 

4 And he commanded tuem, say- 
ing, ^Thus shall ye speak unto my 
lord Esau ; Thy servant Jacob saith 
thus, I have sojourned with Laban, 
and stayed there until now: 

5 And *"! have oxen, and asses, 
flocks, and men-servants,and women- 
servants: and I have sent to tell my 
lord, that a I may find grace in thy 
sight. 

U II And the messengers returned 
to Jacob, saying, We came to thy 
brother Esau, and also ^he comtth 
to meet thee, and four hundred men 
with hihi. 

7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid, 
and 'distressed: and he divided the 
people that was with him, and the 
flocks, and herds, and the camels 
into two bands; 

8 And said, If Esau come to the 
one company, and smite it, then the 
other company which is left shall 
escape. 

9 11^ And Jacob said, IQ God of 
my father Abraham, and God of my 
father Isaac, the Lord ™ which saidst 
unto me, Retui-n unto thy country, 
and to thy kindred, and I will deal 
well with thee : 

10 f I am not worthy of the least 
of all the "mercies, and of all the 
truth, which thou hast shewed unto 
thy servant: for with °my staff I 
passed over this Jordan, and now I 
am become two bands. 

11 P Deliver me, I pray thee, from 
the hand of my brother, from the 
hand of Esau : for I fear him, lest he 
will come and smite me, and <ithe 
mother f with the children. 

12 And ""thou saidst, I will surely 
do thee good, and make thy seed as 
the sand of the sea, which cannot be 
numbered for multitude.

night, and took of that which came 
to his hand ^a present for Esau his 
brother; 

14 Two hundred she-goats and 
twenty hc-goats, two hundred ewes 
and twenty rams, 

1.5 Thirty milch camels with their

cond, and the third, and all that fol- 
lowed the droves, saying. On this 
manner shall ye speak unto Esau, 
when ye find him. 

20 And say ye moreover, Behold, 
thy servant Jacob is behind us. For 
he said, I will ' appease him with the 
present that goeth before me, and 
afterward I will see his face ; per- 
adventure he will accept f of me. 

21 So went the present over before 
him ; and himself lodged that night 
in the company. 

22 And he rose up that night, and 
took his two wives, and his two wo- 
men-servants, and his eleven sons, 
"and passed over the ford Jabbok. 

23 And he took them, and f sent 
them over the brook, and sent over 
that he had. 

24 *1I And Jacob was left alone ; 
and there -^wrestled a man with him, 
until the -j- breaking of the day. 

25 And when he saw that he pre- 
vailed not against him, he touched 
the hollow of his thigh: and ythe 
hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of 
joint, as he wrestled with him. 

26 And 2 he said, Let me go, for 
the day breaketh : And he said, '^I 
will not let thee go, except thou 
bless me. 

27 And he said unto him. What is 
thy name ? And he said, Jacob. 

28 And he said, ^ Thy name shall be 
called no more Jacob, but || Israel : for 
as a prince hast thou^power with God, 
and (iwith men, and hast prevailed. 

29 And Jacob asked him, and said. 
Tell me, I pray thee, thy name.: And 
he said, ^Wlierefore is it that thou 
dost ask after my name? And he 
blessed him there. 

30 And Jacob called the name of 
the place || Peniel : for ^ I have seen 

3S 



Tiie kindness of Jacob and C H A 

God face to face, and my life is pre- 
served. 

31 And as he passed over Penuel, 
the sun rose upon him, and he hahed 
upon his thigh. 

32 Therefore the children of Israel 
eat not of the sinew which shrank, 
which is upon the hollow of the thigh, 
unto this day ; because he touched 
the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the 
sinew that shrank.

AND Jacob lifted up his eyes, 
and looked, and behold, "Esau 
came, and with him four hundred 
men. And he divided the children 
unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and 
vmto the two handmaids. 

2 And he put the handmaids and 
their children foremost, and Leah 
and her children after, and Rachel 
and Joseph hindermost. 

3 And he passed over before them, 
and ''bowed himself to the ground 
seven times, until he came near to 
his brother. 

4 "And Esau ran to meet him, and 
embraced him, <! and fell on his neck, 
and kissed him : and they wept. 

5 And he lifted up his eyes, and 
saw the women and the ciiildren, and 
saidjWho are those f with thee ? And 
he said. The children <= which God 
hath graciously given thy ser\'ant. 

6 Then the handmaidens came 
near, they and their ciiildren, and 
they bowed themselves. 

7 And Leah also with her children 
came near, and bowed themselves ; 
and after came Joseph near and Ra- 
chel, and they bowed themselves. 

8 And he said, f What meanest 
thou by ("all this drove which I met? 
And he said. These are &to find grace 
in the sight of my lord. 

9 And Esau said, I have enough, 
my brother; fkeep that thou hast

10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray 
thee, if now I have found grace in 
thy sight, then receive my present 
at my hand: for therefore 1 I'have 
seen thy face, as though I had seen 
the face of God, and thou wast 
pleased with me.

that is brought to thee ; because God 
hath dealt graciously with me, and 
because I have f enough: ^andhe 
urged him, and he took it. 

12 And he said. Let us take our 
journey, and let us go, and I will go 
before thee. 

13 And he said unto him. My lord 
knoweth that the children are tender, 
and the flocks and herds with young 
are with me, and if men should 
over-drive them one day, all the 
flock will die. 

14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass 
over before his servant : and I \\ ill 
lead on softly, according fas the 
cattle that goeth before me and the 
children be able to endure ; until I 
come unto my lord 'unto Seir. 

15 And Esau said. Let me now

that are with me : And he said,

5 And Jacob heard that he had de- 
filed Dinah his daughter: now his 
sons were with his cattle in the field: 
and Jacob ^held his peace until they 
were come. 

6 "H And Hamor the father of She- 
chem went out unto Jacob to com- 
mune with him. 

7 And the sons of Jacob came out 
of the field when they heard it: and 
the men were grieved, and they 
?were very wroth, because he ^had 
wrought folly in Israel, in lying with 
Jacob's daughter; 'which tlung ought 
not to be done. 

8 And Hamor communed with 
them, saying. The soul of my son 
Shechem longeth for your daughter: 
I pray you give her Inm to wife. 

9 And make ye marriages with us, 
and give your daughters unto us, 
and take our daughters unto you. 

10 And ye shall dwell with us: and 
k the land shall be before you ; dwell 
and 'trade ye therein, and "^get you 
possessions therein. 

1 1 And Shechem said unto her fa- 
ther, and unto her brethren. Let me 
find grace in your eyes, and what ye 
shall say unto me, I will give. 

12 Ask me never so much "dowry 
and gift, and I will give according as 
ye shall say unto me : but give me 
the damsel to wife. 

13 And the sons of Jacob answered 
Shechem and Hamor his father « de- 
ceitfully, and said. Because he had 
defiled Dinah their sister : 

14 And they said unto them. We 
cannot do this thing, to give our sis- 
ter to one that is uncircumcised : for 
Pthat loere a reproach unto us : 

15 But in this will we consent unto 
you : If ye will be as we he, that every 
male of you be circumcised; 

16 Then will we give our daugh- 
ters unto you, and we will take your 
daughters to us, and we will dwell

18 And theirwords pleased Hamor, 
and Shechem, Hamor's son. 

19 And the young man deferred 
not to do the thing, because he had 
delight in Jacob's daughter: and he 
was qmore honourable than all the 
house of his father. 

20 TI And Hamor and Shechem his 
son came unto the gate of their city, 
and communed with the men of their 
city, saying, 

21 These men are peaceable with 
us, therefore let them dwell in the 
land, and trade therein : for the land, 
behold, it is large enough for them : 
let us take their daughters to us for 
wives^ and let us give them our 
daughters. 

22 Only herein will the men con 
sent unto us for to dwell with us, to 
be one people, if every male among 
us be circumcised, as they are cir- 
cumcised. 

23 Shall not their cattle, and theii 
substance, and every beast of theirs 
be ours ? only let us consent unto 
them, and they will dwell with us. 

24 And unto Hamor, and unto She • 
chem his son, hearkened all that 
r went out of the gate of his city: and 
every male was circumcised, all that 
went out of the gate of his city. 

25 HAnd it came to pass on the 
third day, when they were sore, that 
two of the sons of Jacob, s Simeon 
and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took 
each man his sword, and came upon 
the city boldly, and slew all the males. 

26 And they slew Hamor and She- 
chem his son with the fedge of the 
sword, and took Dinah out of She- 
chem's house, and went out. 

27 The sons of Jacob came upon 
the slain, and spoiled the city ; be- 
cause they had defiled their sister. 

28 They took their sheep, and their 
oxen, and their asses, and that which 
was in the city, and that which was 
in the field. 

29 And all their wealth and all 
their little ones, and their wives took 
they captive, and spoiled even all 
that was in the house.

CHAP. XXXVH. 

2 Joseph is hated of his brethren. 5 His two 
dreams. 13 Jacob sendeth him to visit his bre- 
thren. 18 His brethren conspire his death. 21 
Reuben saveth him. 2(i They sell him to the 
Ishmaelites. 31 His father, deceived by the 
bloody coat, mourneth for him. 36 He is sold 
to Fotiphar in Egypt. 

NI) Jacob dwelt in the land 
f ^wherein his father was a 
stranger, in the land of Canaan. 

2 These ai-e the generations of Ja- 
cob. Joseph being seventeen jears 
old, was feeding the flock with his 
brethren, and tlic lad icas with the 
sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of 
Zilpah, his lather's wives : and Jo- 
seph brought unto his father t>thcir 
evil report. 

3 Now Israel loved Joseph more 
than all his children, becau.se he ivas 
'^the son of his old age : and he made 
him a coat of maiuj || colours. 

4 And when his brethren saw that 
their father loved him more tiian all 
his brethren, they i^ hated him, and 
could not speak peaceably unto him. 

5 H And Joseph dreamed a dream, 
and he told it his brctiircn : and they 
hated him yet the more. 

G And he said unto them, Hear, I 
pray you, this dream which I have 
dreamed : 

7 For t^behold, we were binding 
sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf 
arose, and also stood upright ; and 
behold, your sheaves stood round 
about, and made obeisance to my 
sheaf. 

8 And his brethren said unto him, 
Shalt thou indeed reign over us ? or 
shalt thou indeed have dominion 
over us ? And they hated him yet 
the more for his dreams and for his 
words. 

9 U And he dreamed yet another 
dream, and told it his brethren, and 
said, Behold, I have dieamed adream 
more : and behold, 'the sun and the 
moon and the eleven stars made 
obeisance to me. 

10 And he told it to his father, and 
to his brethren : and his father re- 
buked him, and said unto him, What 
is this dream that thou hast dreamed ? 
Shall I and thy mother and sthy bre- 

43 



Joseph's brethren conspire his death. 

thren indeed come to bow down our- 
selves to thee to the earth ? 

11 And ''his brethren envied him ; 
but his father 'observed the saying. 

12 1 And his brethren went to feed 
their father's flock in Shechem. 

13 And Israel said unto Joseph, 
Do not thy brethren feed the flock 
in Shechem ? Come, and I will send 
thee unto them. And he said to 
him. Here am I. 

14 And he said to him, Go, I pray 
thee, f see whether it be well with 
thy brethren, and well with the flocks ; 
and bring me word again. So he sent 
him out of the vale of i^ Hebron, and 
he came to Shechem. 

15 ■[[ And a certain man found him, 
and behold, he was wandering in the 
field : and the man asked him, say- 
ing, What seekest thou ? 

1 6 And he said, I seek my brethren : 
'tell me, I pray thee, where they feed 
tlieir flocks. 

1 7 And the man said. They are de- 
parted hence : for I heard them say, 
Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph 
went after his brethren, and found 
them in "'Dothan. 

18 And when they saw him afar off", 
even before he came near unto them, 
"they conspired against him to slay 
him. 

19 And they said one to another, 
Behold this f dreamer cometh. 

20 °Come now therefore, and let 
us slay him, and cast him into some 
pit ; and we will say, Some evil beast 
hath devoured him ; and we shall see 
what will become of his dreams. 

21 And P Reuben heard it, and he 
deliveredhimoutof their hands ; and 
said. Let us not kill him. 

22 And Reuben said unto them, 
Shed no blood, but cast him into this 
pit that is in the wilderness, and lay 
no hand upon him ; that he might 
rid him out of their hands, to deliver 
him to his father again. 

23 lIAnd it came to pass when 
Joseph was come unto his brethren, 
that they stript Joseph out of his 
coat, his coat oi many || colours that 
was on him. 

24 And they took him, and cast him 
into a pit : and the pit loas empty, 
there ivas no wa.ter in it. 

25 lAnd they sat down to eat

27 Come, and let us sell him to the

31 And they took <= Joseph's coat,

dipped the coat in the blood : 

32 And they sent the coat of many

father ; and said, This have we 
found : know now whether it he thy 
son's coat or no. 

33 And he knew it, and said, It is 
my son's coat ; an fevil beast hath 
devoured him: Joseph is without 
doubt rent in pieces. 

34 And Jacob ?rent his clothes, 
and put sackcloth upon his loins, 
and mourned for his son many days. 

35 And all his sons and all his 
daughters iirose up to comfort him; 
but he refused to be comforted ; and 
he said, For ' I will go down into the 
grave unto my son mourning. Thus

Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. 

2 And Judah ''saw tliere a daughter

ND Joseph was brought down 
to Egj'pt: and =^Potiphar, an 
officer of Pharaoh, captain of the 
guard, an Egyptian, ^ bought him of 
the hands of the Ishmaelites, which 
had brought him down thither. 

2 And c tlie Lord was with Joseph, 
and he was a prosperous man : and 
he was in the house of his master 
the Egyptian. 

3 And his master saw that the Lord 
was with him, and that the Lord 
<i made all that he did to prosper in 
his hand. 

4 And Joseph «^ found grace in his 
sight, and he served him : and he 
made him f overseer over his house, 
and all that he had he put into his 
hand. 

5 And it came to pass from the time 
that he had made him overseer in his 
house, and over all that he had, that 
ethe Lord blessed the Egyptian's 
house for Joseph's sake ; and the 
blessing of the Lord was upon all 
that he had in the house, and in the 
field. 

6 And he left all that he had in Jo- 
seph's hand ; and he knew not aught 
he had, save the bread which he did 
cat: and Joseph i^was a goodly 
2)erson, and well-favoured. 

7 II And it came to pass after these 
tilings, that his master's wife cast her 
eyes upon Joseph : and she said, 'Lie 
with me.

master's wife, Behold, my master

9 There is none greater in this 
house than I ; neither hath he kept 
back any thing from me, but thee, 
because thou art his wife : ^how 
then can I do this great wickedness, 
and 'sin against God? 

10 And it came to pass, as she 
spake to Joseph day by day, that he 
hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, 
or to be with her. 

1 1 And it came to pass "about this 
time, that Joseph went into the house 
to do his business ; and there was 
none of the men of the house there 
within. 

12 And mghe caught him by his 
garment, saying, Lie with me : and 
he left his garment in her hand, and 
fled, and got him out. 

13 And it came to pass, when she 
saw that he had left his garment in 
her hand, and was fled forth, 

14 That she called unto the men of 
her house, and spake unto them, 
saying. See, he hath brought in a 
Hebrew unto us to mock us : he 
came in unto me to lie with me, and 
I cried with a f loud voice : 

15 And it came to pass, when he 
heard that I lifted up my voice and 
cried, that he left his garment with 
me, and fled, and got him out. 

16 And she laid up his garment by 
her, until his lord came home. 

17 And she "spake unto him ac- 
cording to these words, saying. The 
Hebrew servant which thou hast 
brought unto us, came in unto me to 
mock me : 

18 And it came to pass as I lifted 
up my voice and cried, that he left 
his garment with me, and fled out. 

19 And it came to pass, when his 
master heard the words of his wife, 
which she spake unto him, saying. 
After this manner did thy s-ervant to 
me ; that his ° wrath was kindled. 

20 And Joseph's master took him, 
and Pput him into the q prison, a 
place where the king's prisoners were 
bound : and he was there in the prison. 

21 TTBut the Lord was with Joseph, 
and f shewed him mercy, and ''gave 
him favour in the sight of the keeper 
of the prison.

AND it came to pass after these 
things, that the ^butler of the 
king of Eg}'pt and Ids baker had of- 
fended their lord the king of Eg}'pt. 

2 And Pharaoh was ''wroth against 
two of his officers, against the chief 
of the butlers, and agauist the chief 
of the bakers. 

3 "^And he put them in ward in the 
house of the captain of the guard, 
into the prison, the place were Jo-

4 And the captain of the guard 
charged Joseph with them, and he 
served them ; and tlicy continued a 
season in ward. 

5 H And they dreamed adreamboth 
of them, each man his dream in one 
night, each man according to the in- 
terpretation of his dream ; the butler 
and the baker of the king of Eg}pt, 
which were bound in the prison. 

6 And Joseph came in unto them m 
the morning, and looked upon them, 
and behold, they were sad. 

7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers 
that were with him in the ward of 
his lord's house, saying. Wherefore

8 And they said unto him, <iWe 
have dreamed a dream, and there is

said unto them, ^Do not interpreta-

9 And the chief butler told hisdream 
to Joseph, and said unto him. In my 
dream, behold, a vine was before me ; 

10 And in the vine were tliree

pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and 
I gave the cup mto Pharaoh's hand. 

12 And Joseph said unto him, ^This 
is the interpretation of it : The tlu-ee 
branches Sare three days : 

13 Yet within three days shall Pha- 
raoh I'll lift up thy head, and re- 
store thee unto thy place : and thou 
shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his

thou wast his butler. 

14 But f'tliink on me when it 
shall be well with thee, and "^shew 
kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and 
make mention of me unto Pharaoh, 
and bring me out of this house : 

1 5 For indeed I was stolen away out 
of the land of the Hebrews: 'and 
here also have I done nothing that 
they should put me into the dungeon. 

16 When the chief baker saw that 
the interpretation was good, he said 
unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, 
and behold, / had three || white bas- 
kets on my head : 

17 And in the uppermost basket 
there was of all manner of f bake- 
meats for Pharaoh : and the birds did 
eat them out of the basket upon my 
head. 

18 And Joseph answered, and said, 
'"This is the interpretation thereof: 
The three baskets are three days : 

19 "Yet within three days shall 
Pharaoh 1| lift up thy head from off 
thee, and shall hang thee on a tree ; 
and the birds shall eat thy flesh from 
off thee.

day, which was Pharaoh's "birth-day, 
that he Pmadc a feast unto all his 
sei-vants : and he <i || lifted up the 
head of the chief butler and of the 
chief baker among his sei-vants. 

21 And he "^restored the chief butler 
unto his butlership again ; and ''he

dreamed : and behold, he stood by 
the river. 

2 And behold, there came up out 
of the river seven well-favoured kine 
and fat-fleshed ; and they fed in a 
meadow. 

3 And behold, seven other kine 
came up after them out of the river, 
ill-favoured and lean-fleshed ; and 
stood by the other kine upon the 
brink of the river. 

4 And the ill-favoured and lean- 
fleshed kine did eat up the seven well- 
favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh 
awoke. 

5 And he slept and dreamed the 
second time : and behold, seven ears 
of corn came up upon one stalk, 
f rank and good. 

6 And behold, seven thin ears and 
blasted with the east wind sprung 
up after them. 

7 And the seven thin ears devour- 
ed the seven rank and full ears. And 
Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was 
a dream. 

8 And it came to pass in the morn- 
ing, Hh^i his spirit was troubled ; and 
he sent and called for all i-the ma^ 
gicians of Egypt, and all the ^wise 
men thereof: and Pharaoh told them 
his dreams ; but there was none that 
could interpret them unto Pharaoh. 

9 IThen spake the chief butler 
unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remem- 
ber my faults this day : 

10 Pharaoh was i^ wroth with his 
servants, ^and put me in ward in 
the captain of the guard's house, 
both me, and the chief baker : 

1 1 And fwe dreamed a dream in 
one night, I and he : we dreamed 
each man according to the interpre-

12 And there was there with us a 
young man, a Hebrew, & servant to 
the captain of the guard ; and we 
told him, and he ^ interpreted to us 
our dreams ; to each man according 
to his dream he did interpret. 

1 3 And it came to pass, • as he in- 
terpreted to us, so it was : me he re-

He sendethfor Joseph,

1 5 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, 
I have dreamed a dream, and there is 
none that can interpret it : " and I 
have heard say of thee, that || thou 
canst understand a dream to inter- 
pret it. 

16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, 
saying, °It is not in me : PGod shall 
give Pharaoh an answer of peace. 

17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, 
iln my dream, behold, I stood upon 
the bank of the river : 

1 8 And behold, there came up out 
of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed, 
and well-favoured ; and they fed in 
a meadow: 

19 And behold, seven other kine 
came up after them, poor, and very 
ill-favoured, and lean-fleshed, such as 
I never saw in all the land of Egypt 
for badness : 

20 And the lean and the ill-favoured 
kine did eat up the first seven fat kine : 

2 1 And when they had f eaten them 
up, it could not be known that they 
had eaten them ; but they were still 
ill-favoured, as at the beginning. So 
I awoke. 

22 And I saw in my dream, and 
behold, seven ears came up in one 
stalk, full and good : 

23 And behold, seven ears, || wi- 
thered, thin, and blasted with the 
east wind, sprung up after them : 

24 And the thin ears devoured the 
seven good ears : and ""I told this 
unto the magicians ; but there was 
none that could declare it unto me. 

25 "II And Joseph said unto Pha- 
raoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one : 
s God hath shewed Pharaoh what he 
is about to db. 

26 The seven good kine are seven 
years ; and the seven good ears are 
seven years: the dream is one. 

27 And the Seven thin and ill-fa- 
voured kine that came up after them 
«re seven years ; and the seven empty 
ears blasted with th6 east wind shall 
be 'seven years of famine. 

28 "This is the thing which I have 
spoken unto Pharaoh :" wh£lt God is 
about to do he shewethuiito Pharaoh. 

29 Behold, there come * seven years 
of great plenty throughout all' the 
land of Egypt : 

46^ 



who interpreteth them. 

30 And there shall y arise after them 
seven years of famine ; and all the 
plenty shall be forgotten in the land 
of Egypt; and the famine ^ shall 
consume the land : 

31 And the plenty shall not be 
known in the land by reason of that 
lamine following : for it shall be very 
f grievous. 

32 And for that the dream was 
doubled unto Pharaoh twice ; it is 
because the 'i thing ?s || established 
by God, and God will shortly bring 
it to pass. 

33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look 
out a man discreet and wise, and set 
liim over the land of Egypt. 

34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him 
appoint II officers over the land, and 
''take up the fifth part of the land of 
Egj'pt in the seven plenteous years. 

35 And c let them gather all the food 
of those good years that come, and lay 
up corn under the hand of Pharaoh : 
and let them keep food in the cities 

36 And that food shall be for store 
to the land against the seven years 
of famine, which shall be in the land 
of Egypt ; that the land f '' perish 
not through the famine. 

37 If And <=the thing was good in 
the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes 
of all his servants. 

38 And Pharaoh said unto his ser- 
vants. Can we find such a one as this 
is, a man *"in whom the spirit of God 
is ? 

39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, 
Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee 
all this, there is none so discreet and 
wise as thou art : 

40 gThou shalt be over my house, 
and according unto thy word shall 
all my people f be ruled : only in the 
throne will I be greater than thou. - 

41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, 
See, I have >'set thee over all the 
land of Egypt. 

42 And Pharaoh Uook off his ring 
from his hand, and put it upon Jo- 
seph's hand, and •< arrayed him in 
vestures of || fine linen, 'and put a 
gold chain about his neck ; 

43 And he made him to ride in the

they cried before him, || f Bow the

Tlie famine beginneth. 

44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, 
I am Pharaoh, and M'ithout thee shall 
no man lift up his hand or foot in all 
the land of Egypt. 

45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's 
name || Zaplmath-paaneah ; and he 
gave him to wife Asenath the daugh- 
ter of Poti-pherah || priest of On : 
and Joseph went out over all the 
land of Egypt. 

46 H And Joseph teas thirty years 
old when he " stood before Pharaoh 
king of Egypt : and Joseph went out 
from the presence of Pharaoh, and 
went throughout all the land of Egypt. 

47 And in the seven plenteous years 
the earth brought forth by handfuls. 

48 And he gathered up all the food 
of the seven years which were in the 
land of Egypt, and laid up the food 
in the cities : the food of the field 
which ivas round about every city, 
laid he up in the same. 

49 And Joseph gathered corn Pas 
the sand of the sea, very much, until 
he left numbering ; for it was with- 
out number. 

50 nAnd unto Joseph were born 
two sons before the years of famine 
came : w^hich Asenath the daughter 
of Poti-pherah || priest of On bare 
unto him. 

51 And Joseph called the name of 
the first-born || Manasseh ; For God, 
said he, hath made me forget all my 
toil, and all my father's hou.se. 

52 And the name of the second 
called he || Ephraim : For God hath 
caused me to be ■'fruitful in the land 
of my affliction. 

53 TI And the seven years of plen- 
teousness that was in the land of 
Egypt, were ended. 

54 =* And the seven years of dearth 
began to come, 'according as Joseph 
had said : and the dearth was in all 
lands ; but in all the land of Egypt 
there was bread, 

55 And when all the land of Egj^pt 
was famished, the people cried to 
Pharaoh for bread : and Pharaoh said 
unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Jo- 
seph ; what he saith to you, do. 

56 And the famine was over all the 
face of the earth : and Joseph open- 
ed fall the store-houses, and "sold 
unto the Egj'ptians ; and the famine 
waxed sore in the land of Egypt.

Joseph's brethren cow-e to buy corn. 

57 ^And all countries came into 
Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn ; 
because that the famine was so sore 
in all lands, 

CHAP. XLIL 

1 Jacob sendeth his ten sons to buy corn in Egypt. 
16 They are imprisoned by Joseph for spies. 18 
They are set at liberty, on condition to briiig 
Benjamin. 21 They have remorse for Joseph. 
24 Simeon is kept for a pledge. 25 They return 
with corn, and their money. 29 Their relation 
to Jacob. 36 Jacob refuseth to send Benjamin. 

NOW when^Jacob saw that there 
was corn in Egypt, Jacob said 
unto his sons, Why do ye look one 
upon another ? 

2 And he said, Behold I have heard 
that there is corn in Egypt : get you 
down thither, and buy for us from 
thence ; that we may ^live, and not 
die. 

3 H And Joseph's ten brethren went 
down to buy corn in Egypt. 

4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, 
Jacob sent not with his brethren : for 
he said, ^Lestperadventure mischief 
befall him. 

5 And the sons of Israel came to 
buy corn among those that came :

Canaan. 

6 And Joseph was the governor 
''over the land, and he it was that 
sold to all the people of the land : 
and Joseph's brethren came, and 
f bowed down themselves before him 
with their faces to the earth. 

7 And Joseph saw his brethren, 
and he knew them, but made him- 
self strange unto them, and spake 
f roughly unto them ; and he said 
unto them. Whence come ye ? And 
they said. From the land of Canaan 
to buy food. 

8 And Joseph knew his brethren 
but they knew not him. 

9 And Joseph sremembered the 
dreams which he dreamed of them, 
and said unto them. Ye are spies ; to 
see the nakedness of the land ye are 
come. 

10 And they said unto him, Nay, 
my lord, but to buy food are thy ser- 
vants come.

twelve brethren, the sons of one man 
in the land of Canaan : and behold, 
the youngest is this day with our 
father, and one ^is not. 

14 And Joseph said unto them, 
That is it that I spake unto you, 
saying, Ye are spies : 

15 Hereby ye shall be proved: 'By 
the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go 
forth hence, except your youngest 
brother come hither. 

16 Send one of you, and let him 
fetch your brother, and ye shall be 
f kept in prison, that your words may 
be proved, whether there be any truth 
in you : or else, by the life of Pha- 
raoh, surely ye are spies. 

17 And he f put them all together 
into ward three days. 

18 And Joseph said unto them the 
third day. This do, and live ; ^"^for I 
fear God : 

19 If ye he true men, let one of your 
brethren be bound in the house of 
your prison : go ye, carry corn for 
the famine of your houses : 

20 But 1 bring your youngest bro- 
ther unto me ; so shall your words 
be verified, and ye shall not die. 
And they did so. 

21 TI And they said one to another, 
™ We are verily guilty concerning our 
brother, in that we saw the anguish 
of his soul, when he besought us, 
and we would not hear ; "therefore 
is this distress come upon us. 

22 And Reuben answered them, 
saying, ° Spake I not unto you, say- 
ing. Do not sin against the child ; 
and ye would not hear? therefore 
behold also his blood is P required. 

23 And they knew not that Joseph 
understood them ; for f he spake unto 
them by an interpreter. 

24 And he turned himself about 
from them, and wept ; and returned 
to them again, and communed with 
them, and took from them Simeon, 
and bound him before their eyes. 

25 "H Then Joseph commanded to 
fill their sacks with corn, and to re- 
store every man's money into his 
sack, and to give them provision for 
the way: and qthus did he unto 
them.

the corn, and departed thence.

inn, he espied his money : for be- 
hold, it was in his sack's mouth. 

28 And he said unto his brethren, 
My money is restored ; and lo, it is 
even in my sack : and their heart 
f failed them, and they were afraid, 
saying one to another, What is this 
that God hath done unto us ? 

29 TIAnd they came unto Jacob 
their father unto the land of Canaan, 
and told him all that befell unto them, 
saying, 

30 The man who is the lord of the 
land, 8 spake f roughly to us, and 
took us for spies of the country. 

31 And we said unto him. We are 
true men ; we are no spies : 

32 We be twelve brethren, sons 
of our father : one is not, and the 
youngest is this day with our father 
in the land of Canaan. 

33 And the man, the lord of the 
country, said unto us, 'Hereby shall 
1 know that ye are true men : leave 
one of your brethren hei-e with me, 
and take /oo(^ /or the famine of your 
households, and be gone : 

34 And bring your youngest bro- 
ther unto me : then shall I know 
that ye ai-c no spies, but that ye are 
true men : so will I deliver you your 
brother, and ye shall "traffick in the 
land. 

35 TI And it came to pass as they 
emptied their sacks, that behold, 
^every man's bundle of money was 
in his sack ; and when both they and 
their father saw the bundles of 
ney, they were afraid. 

3(5 And Jacob their father said unto 
them, Me have ye > bereaved of my 
children : Joseph is not, and Simeon 
is not, and ye will take Benjamin 
away: all these things are against 
me. 

37 And Reuben spake unto his fa- 
ther, saying. Slay my two sons, if I 
bring him not to thee : deliver him 
into my hand, and 1 will bring him 
to thee again. 

38 And he said, My son shall not 
go down with you ; for Miis brother 
is dead, and he is left alone: aif 
mischief befall him by the way in 
the which ye go, then shall ye ''bring 
down my gray hairs with sorrow to 
the grave.

Benjamin sent with the rest. 
CHAP. XLHI. 

1 Jacob is hardly persuaded to send Benjamin. 
]5 Joseph eniertaineth his brethren. 31 He 
viaketh them a feast. 

AND the famine was a sore in the 
land. 

2 And it came to pass, when they 
had eaten up the corn which they 
had brought out of Egypt, their fa- 
ther said unto them, Go again, buy 
us a little food. 

3 And Judah spake unto him, say- 
ing. The man f did solemnly protest 
unto us, saying. Ye shall not see my 
face, except your ''brother be with 
you. 

4 If thou wilt send our brother 
with us, we will go down and buy 
thee food : 

5 But if thou wilt not send him we 
will not go down : for the man said 
unto us. Ye shall not see my face, 
except your brother l)c with you. 

G And Israel said. Wherefore dealt 
ye so ill with me, as to tell the man 
whether ye had yet a brother ? 

7 And they said. The man j- asked 
us straitly of our state, and of our 
kindred, saying. Is your father yet 
alive ? have ye another brother ? and 
we told him according to the f tenor 
of these words: f Could we certainly 
know that he would say. Bring your 
brother down ? 

8 And Judah said unto Israel his 
father. Send the lad with me, and we 
will arise and go ; that we may live, 
and not die, both we, and thou, and 
also our little ones. 

9 I will be surety for him ; of my 
hand shall thou require him: i^^if I 
bring him not unto thee, and set him 
before thee, then let me bear the 
blame for ever : 

10 For except we had lingered, 
surely now we had returned || this 
second time. 

1 1 And their father Israel said unto 
them, If it must be so now, do this ; 
take of the best fruits in the land in 
your vessels, and <" carry down the 
man a present, a little ''balm, and a 
little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, 
and almonds : 

12 And take double money in your 
hand ; and the money 'that wa.s 
brought again in the mouth of your 
sacks, carry it again in your hand ; 
peradventure it was an oversight : 

51 



Joseph's brethren are brought 

13 Take also your brother, and 
arise, go again unto the man : 

14 And God Almighty give you 
mercy before the man, that he may 
send away your other brother, and 
Benjamin: !?||If I be bereaved of 
my children, I am bereaved. 

15 llAnd the men took that pre- 
sent, and they took double money in 
their hand, and Benjamin ; and rose 
up, and went down to Egjpt, and 
stood before Joseph. 

1 6 And when Joseph saw Benjamin 
with them, he said to the i^ ruler of 
his house, Bring these men home, 
and f slay, and make ready : for these 
men shall f dine with me at noon. 

17 And the man did as Joseph 
bade : and the man brought the men 
into Joseph's house. 

18 And the men were afraid, be- 
cause they were brought into Joseph's 
house ; and they said, Because of the 
money that was returned in our sacks 
at the first time, are we brought in ; 
that he may f seek occasion against 
us, and fall upon us, and take us for 
bondmen, and our asses. 

19 And they came near to the 
steward of Joseph's house, and they 
communed with him at the door of 
the house, 

20 And said, O sir, ' f we came in- 
deed down at the first time tobuy food 

21 And i^it came to pass, when we 
came to the inn, that we opened our 
sacks, and behold, eccrtj man's mo 
ney was in the mouth of his sack, 
our money in full weight : and we 
have brought it again in our hand. 

22 And other money have we 
brought down in our hands to buy 
food : we cannot tell who put our 
money in our sacks. 

23 And he said, Peace be to you, 
fear not : your God, and the God of 
your father, hath given you treasure 
in your sacks : f I had your money. 
Ajid he brought Simeon out unto 
them. 

24 And the man brought the men 
into Joseph's house, and 'gave them 
water, and they washed their feet ; 
and he gave their asses provender. 

25 And they made ready the pre- 
sent against Joseph came at noon : 
for they heard that they should cat 
bread there.

26 H And when Joseph came home, 
they brought him the present which 
was in their hand into the house, and 
mbowed themselves to him to the 
eai'th. 

27 And he asked them of their 
f welfare, and said, f Is your father 
well, the old man °of whom ye 
spake ? Is he yet alive ? 

28 And they answered, Thy ser- 
vant our father is in good health, he 
is yet alive : " and they bowed down 
their heads, and made obeisance. 

29 And he lifted up his eyes, and 
saw his brother Benjamin, Phis mo- 
ther's son, and said, Is this your 
younger brother, i of whom ye spake 
unto me ? And he said, God be gra- 
cious unto thee, my son. 

30 And Joseph made haste ; for 
■■his bowels did yearn upon his bro- 
ther : and he sought where to weep ; 
and he entered into his chamber, 
and swept there. 

31 And he washed his face, and 
went out, and refrained himself, and 
said, Set on ^bread. 

32 And they set on for him by him- 
self, and for them by themselves, and 
for the Egyptians which did eat with 
him, by themselves : because the 
Egyptians might not eat bread with 
the Hebrews ; for that is " an abo- 
mination unto the Egyptians. 

33 And they sat before him, the 
first-born according to his birth-right, 
and the youngest according to his 
youth : and the men marvelled one 
at another. 

34 And he took and sent messes 
unto them from before him : but Ben- 
jamin's mess was ^five times so much 
as any of theirs. And they drank, 
and f were merry with him.

the men were sent away, they, and 
their asses. 

4 And when they were gone out of 
the city, and not yet far off, Joseph 
said unto his steward, Up, follow 
after the men ; and when thou dost 
overtake them, say unto them,Where 
fore have ye rewarded evil for good 

5 Is not this it in which my lord 
drinketh, and whereby indeed he 
II divineth ? ye have done evil in so 
doing. 

G II And he overtook them, and he 
spake unto them these same words. 

7 And they said unto him, Where- 
fore saith my lord these words? God 
forbid that thy servants should do 
according to this thing: 

8 Behold, a the money which we 
found in our sacks' mouths, we 
brouglit again unto thee out of the 
land of Canaan : how then should 
we steal out of thy lord's house silver 
or gold? 

1) With whomsoever of thy servants 
it be found, '^both let him die, and 
we also will be my lord's bond-men 

10 And he said. Now also lei it he 
according unto your words : he witii 
whom it is found shall be my ser- 
vant; and ye shall be blameless 

1 1 Then they speedily took down 
every man his sack to the ground, 
and opened every man his sack. 

12 And he .searched, and began at 
the eldest, and left at the youngest 
and the cup was found in Benjamin's 
sack. 

13 Then they ^rent their clothes, 
and laded every man his ass, and 
returned to the city. 

14 H And Judah and his brethren 
came to Joseph's house, (for he was 
yet there :) and they ''fell before him 
on the ground. 

15 And Joseph said unto them, 
What deed is this that ye iiavc done ? 
wot ye not that such a man as I can 
certainly || divine? 

16 And Judah said, AVliat shall we 
say unto my lord? what shall we 
speak ? or how shall we clear our- 
selves ? God hath found out the ini- 
quity of thy servants: behold ^we 
are my lord's servants, both we, and 
he also with whom the cup is found. 

17 And he said, ""God forbid that I 
should do so : hut the man in whose

hand trie cup is found, he shall be 
my servant ; and as for you, get you 
up in peace unto your father. 

18 TI Then Judah came near unto 
him, and said, O my lord, let thy 
servant, I pray thee, speak a word 
in my lord's ears, and glet not thine 
anger burn agamst thy servant : for 
thou art even as Pharaoh. 

19 My lord asked his servants, say- 
ing, Have ye a father, or a brother ? 

20 And we said unto my lord. We 
have a father, an old man, and •" a 
child of his old age, a little one : and 
his brother is dead, and he alone is 
left of his mother, and his father 
loveth him. 

21 And thou saidst unto thy ser- 
vants, 'Bring him down unto me, 
that I may set mine eyes upon him. 

22 And we said unto my lord, The 
lad cannot leave his father : for if he 
should leave his father, his father 
would (lie. 

23 And thou saidst unto thy ser- 
vants, i^Except your youngest bro- 
ther come down with you, ye shall 
see my face no more. 

24 And it came to pass, when we 
came up unto thy servant my father, 
we told him the words of my lord. 

2.5 And 'our father said, Go again, 
and buy us a little food. 

2G And we said. We cannot go 
down: if our youngest brother be 
with us, then will we go down ; for 
we may not see the man's face, ex- 
cept our youngest brother he with us. 

27 And thy servant my father said 
unto us, Ye know that "'my wife 
bare me two sons : 

28 And the one went out from me, 
and I said, "Surely he is torn in 
pieces ; and I saw him not since : 

29 And if ye "take this also from 
me, and mischief befall him, ye shall 
bring down my gray hairs with sor- 
row to the grave. 

30 Now therefore when I come to 
thy servant my father, and the lad 
be not with us ; (seeing that Phis life 
is bound up in the lad's life ;) 

31 It shall come to pass, when he 
seeth that the lad is not with us, that 
he will die : and thy sen ants shall 
bring down the gray hairs of thy 
servant our father with sorrow to the 
grave. 

53 



Joseph maJceth himself known, 

32 For thy servant became surety 
for the lad unto my father, saying, 
filf I bring him not unto tiiee, then I 
shall bear the blame to my father 
for ever. 

33 Now therefore, I pray thee, ""let 
thy servant abide instead of the lad 
a bond-man to my lord ; and let the 
lad go up with his biethren. 

34 For how shall I go up to my 
father, and the lad he not with me? 
lest peradventure I see the evil that 
shall f come on my father. 

CHAP. XLV. 

1 Joseph malceth himself knoimi to his brethren. 
5 He comforteih them iit God's providence. 9 
He sendeth for his father. 16 Pharaoh con- 
Jirmeth it. 21 Joseph furnisheth them for their 
journey, and exhorieth them to concord. 25 
Jacob is revived with the news; 

THEN Joseph could not refrain 
himself before all them that 
stood by him ; and he cried, Cause 
every man to go out from me : and 
there stood no man with him, while 
Joseph made himself known unto 
his brethren. 

2 And he fwept aloud; and the 
Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh 
heard. 

3 And Joseph said unto his bre- 
thren, a I am Joseph ; doth my father 
yet live ? And his brethren could not 
answer him; for they were 1| troubled 
at his presence. 

4 And Joseph said unto his bre- 
thren, Come near to me, I pray you 
and they came near. And he said, 
I am Joseph your brother, ^whom 
ye sold into Egypt. 

5 Now therefore ^be not grieved, 
t nor angry with yourselves, that ye 
sold me hither: ^for God did send 
me before you to preserve Hfe. 

6 For these two years hath the fa- 
mine been in the land : and yet thei^e 
are five years, in the which there shall 
neither be earing nor harvest. 

7 And God sent me before you, -j- to 
preserve you a posterity in the earth, 
and to save your lives by a great 
deliverance. 

8 So now it was not you that sent 
me hither, but God: and he hath 
made me ^a father to Pliaraoh, and 
lord of all his house, and a ruler 
throughout all the land of Egypt.

ther, and say unto him, Thus saith

thy son Joseph, God hath made me 
lord of all Egypt ; come down unto 
me, tarry not : 

10 And fthou shalt dwell in the 
land of Goshen, and thou shalt be 
near unto me, thou, and thy chil- 
dren, and thy children's children, 
and thy flocks, and thy herds, and 
all that thou hast: 

1 1 And there will I nourish thee, (for 
yet there are five years of famine ;) 
lest thou, and thy household, and all 
that thou hast come to poverty. 

12 And behold, your eyes see, and 
the eyes of my brother Benjamin, 
that it is &my mouth that speaketh 
unto you. 

13 And ye shall tell my father of 
all my glory in Egypt, and of all that 
ye have seen : and ye shall haste, and 
h bring down my father hither. 

14 And he fell upon his brother 
Benjamin's neck, and wept ; and 
Benjamin wept upon his neck. 

15 Moreover, he kissed all his bre- 
thren, and wept upon them : and after 
that his brethren talked with him. 

16 ^ And the fame thereof was 
heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, 
Joseph's brethren are come : and it 
f pleased Pharaoh well, and his ser- 
vants. 

17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, 
Say unto thy brethren. This do ye ; 
lade your beasts, and go, get you ' 
unto the land of Canaan ; 

18 And take your father, and your 
households, and come unto me : and 
I will give you the good of the land 
of Egypt, and ye shall eat 'the fat of 
the land. 

19 Now thou art commanded, this 
do ye ; take you wagons out of the 
land of Egypt for your little ones, 
and for your wives, and bring your 
father, and come. 

20 Also f regard not your stuff: for 
the good of all the land of Egypt is 
yours. 

21 And the children of Israel did 
so : and Joseph gave them wagons, 
according to the f commandment of 
Pharaoh, and gave them provision 
for the way. 

22 To all of them he gave each man 
changes of raiment: but to Benjamin 
he gave three hundred pieces of sil- 
ver, and i^five changes of raiment.

23 And to his father he sent after 
this manner; ten asses f laden with 
the good things of Egj^pt, and ten 
she-asses laden with corn and bread 
and meat for his father by the way. 

24 So he sent his brethren away, 
and they departed : and he said unto 
them, See that ye fall not out by the 
way. 

25 "[[And they went up out of 
Egj-pt, and came into the land oi 
Canaan unto Jacob their father, 

26 And told him, saying, Joseph is 
yet alive, and he is governor over all 
the land of Eg\-pt. 'And f Jacob's 
heart fainted, tor he believed them 
not. 

27 And they told him all the words 
of Joseph, which he had said unto 
them : and when he saw the wagons 
which Joseph had sent to carr\' him, 
the spirit of Jacob their father re- 
vived : 

28 And Israel said, It is enough : 
Joseph my son is yet alive: I will

servants are shepherds, both we, and 
also our fathers.

we come : for thy servants have no 
pasture for their flocks, sfor the fa- 
mine is sore in the land of Canaan :

thy father and brethren to dwell ; ''in 
the land of Goshen let them dwell ;

tivity among them, then make them

7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his

f How old art thou?

'The days of the years of my pil-

of the years of my life been, and 
"have not attained unto the days of

the land ; for the famine was very 
sore, ""so that the land of Egj'pt, and 
all the land of Canaan, fainted by 
reason of the famine. 

14 «And Joseph gathered up all the 
money that Avas found in the land of 
Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, 
for the corn which they bought : 
and Joseph brought the money into 
Pharaoh's house. 

15 And when money failed in the 
land of Egypt, and in the land of 
Canaan, all the Egyptians came un- 
to Joseph, and said, Give us bread : 
for 'why should we die in tliy pre- 
sence ? for the money faileth. 

16 And Joseph said. Give your 
cattle ; and I will give you for your 
cattle, if money fail. 

17 And they brought their cattle 
unto Joseph : and Joseph gave tliem 
bread in exchange for horses, and for 
the flocks, and for the cattle of the 
herds, and for the asses ; and he 
f fed them with bread, for all their 
cattle, for that year. 

18 When that year was ended, they 
came unto him the second year, and 
said unto him. We will not hide // 
from my lord, how tliat our money is 
spent ; my lord also hath our herds 
of cattle : there is not aught left in 
the sight of my lord, but our bodies 
and our lands :

buy us and our land for bread, and 
■we and our land will be servants un-

we may live, and not die, that the

the famine prevailed over them : so 
the land became Pharaoh's.

ple, Behold, I have bought you this

here is seed for you, and ye shall 
sow the land. 

24 And it shall come to pass in the

Almighty appeared unto me at ^^Luz 
in the land of Canaan, and blessed 
me,

will make thee fruitful, and multiply 
thee, and I will make of thee a mul-

land to thy seed after thee, ^for an 
everlasting possession.

Ephraim and Manasseh, which were 
born unto thee in the land of Egypt, 
before I came unto thee into Egypt,

they shall be mine. 

6 And thy issue, which thou be- 
gettest after them, shall be thine, 
and shall be called after the name 
of their brethren in their inherit- 
ance.

land of Canaan, in the way, when yet 
there was but a little way to come 
unto Ephrath : and I buried her there 
in the way of Ephrath, the same is

and said. Who are these?

14 And Israel stretched out his right 
hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's 
head, who was the younger, and his 
left hand upon Manasseh's head, 
isguiding his hands wittingly; for 
Manasseh was the first-born. 

15 TIAnd ihe blessed Joseph, and 
said, God, ™ before whom my fa- 
thers Abraham and Isaac did walk, 
the God which fed me all my life 
long unto this day, 

16 The Angel "which redeemed me 
from all evil, bless the lads ; and let 
°my name be named on them, and 
the name of my fathers Abraham and 
Isaac: and let them fgrow into a 
multitude in the midst of the earth. 

17 And when Joseph saw that his 
father Plaid his right hand upon the 
head of Ephraim, it || displeased him : 
and he held up his father's hand, to 
remove it from Ephraim's head unto 
Manasseh's head. 

18 And Joseph said unto his father, 
Not so, my father: for this is the 
first-born ; put thy right hand upon 
his head. 

19 And his father refused, and said, 
q I know it, my son, I know it : he 
also shall become a people, and he 
also shall be great : but truly ""his 
younger brother shall be greater 
than he, and his seed shall become 
a j- multitude of nations. 

20 And he blessed them that day, 
saying, ^In thee shall Israel bless, 
saying, God make thee as Ephraim 
and as Manasseh : and he set 
Ephraim before Manasseh. 

21 And Israel said unto Joseph, 
Behold, I die; but ^God shall be 
with you, and bring you again unto 
the land of your fathers. 

22 Moreover "I have given to thee 
one portion above thy brethren,which 
I took out of the hand •''of the Amo- 
rite with my sword and with my bow.

father; and the physicians embalmed 
Israel. 

3 And forty days were fulfilled for 
him ; for so are fulfilled the days of 
those which are embalmed : and the 
Egyptians f <^ mourned for him three- 
score and ten days. 

4 And when the days of his mourn-

^the house of Pharaoh saying, If 
now I have found grace in your eyes, 
speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pha- 
raoh, saying,

ing in the floor of Atad, they said, 
Tliis is a grievous mourning to the 
Egyptians : wherefore the name of 
it was called 1| Abel-mizraim, which 
is beyond Jordan.

in the cave of the field of Machpe-

the field for a possession of a bury-

sawthat their fatherwas dead, '"they 
said, Joseph will peradventure hate 
us, and will certainly requite us all 
the evil which we did unto him. 

16 And they f sent a messenger 
unto Joseph, saying. Thy father did

17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, 
Forgive, I pray thee now, the tres- 
pass of thy brethren, and their sin ; 
"for they did unto thee evil : and now, 
we pray thee, forgive the trespass of

14 And they »" made their lives bit- 
ter witli hard bondage, " in mortar, 
and in brick, and in all manner of 
ser\ ice in the field : all their service 
wherein they made them serve was 
with rigour. 

15 Tf And the king of Egj'pt spake 
to the Hebrew midwives (of which 
the name of one ti:as Shiphrah, and 
the name of the other Puah ;) 

IG And he said. When ye do the of- 
fice of a midwife to the Hebrew wo- 
men, and see them upon the stools; 
if it he a son, then ye shall kill him ; 
but if it be a daughter, then she shall 
live. 

17 But the midwives "feared God, 
and did not I'as the king of Egypt 
commanded them,but saved the men- 
children alive. 

18 And the king of Egypt called for 
the midwives, and said unto them. 
Why have ye done this thing, aiul 
have saved the mon-chil<lrcn alive ? 

19 And nthe midwives said unto 
Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew wo- 
men are not as the Egyptian w'omen ; 
for they o/c lively, and are delivered 
ere the midwives come in unto them. 

20 ■■ Therefore God dealt well with 
the midwives: and the people mul- 
tiplied, and waxed very mighty. 

21 And it came to pass, because 
the midwives feared God, ^that he 
made them houses. 

22 And Pharaoh charged all his 
people, saying, 'Every son that is 
born ye shall cast into the river, and 
every daughter ye shall save alive.

AND there went =^a man of the 
house of Levi, and took to wife 
a daughter of Levi. 

2 Aiid the woman conceived and 
bare a son : and ''when she saw him 
that he was a goodly child, she hid 
him three months. 

3 And when she could not longer 
hide him, she took for him an ark of 
bulrushes, and daubed it with slime 
and with pitch, and put the child 
therein ; and she laid it in the flags 
by the river's brink. 

4 <=And his sister stood afar off, to 
wit what would be done to him. 

5 II And the ^ daughter of Pharaoh 
came down to wash herself at the 
river; and her maidens walked along 
by the river's side: and when she 
saw the ark among the flags, she 
sent her maid to fetch it. 

6 And when she had opened it, she 
saw the child: and behold, the babe 
wept. And she had compassion on 
him, and said. This is one of the He- 
brews' children. 

7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's 
daughter, Shall I go, and call to thee 
a nurse of the Hebrew women, that 
she may nurse the child for thee ? 

8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to 
her. Go. And the maid went and 
called the child's mother. 

9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto 
her. Take this child away and nurse 
it for me and I will give thee thy 
wages. And the woman took the 
child and nursed it. 

10 And the child grew, and she 
brought him unto Pharaoh's daugh- 
ter, and he became «her son. And 
she called his name || Moses : and 
she said. Because I drew him out of 
the water. 

1 1 TI And it came to pass in those 
days, fwhcn Moses was grown, that 
he went out unto his brethren, and 
looked on their sburdens: and he 
spied an Egyptian smiting a He- 
brew, one of his brethren. 

12 And he looked this way and that 
way, and when he saw that there was 
no man, he ''slew the Egyptian, and 
hid liim in the sand. 

13 And 'when he went out the se 
cond day, behold, two men of the 
Hebrews strove together : and he 
said to him that did the wrong

Moses feeth into Midian. 

Wherefore smitest thou thy fel- 
low? 

L4 And he said, i^ Who made thee fa 
prince and a judge over us? intend- 
est thou to kill me, as thou killedst 
the Egyptian? And Moses feared, 
and said, Surely this thing is known. 

15 Now when Pharaoh heard this 
thing, he sought to slay Moses. But 
'Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, 
and dwelt in the land of Midian: 
and he sat down by "> a well. 

16 °Now the II priest of Midian had 
seven daughters: °and they came 
and drew water, and filled the 
troughs to water their father's flock. 

17 And the shepherds came and 
drove them away : but Moses stood 
up and helped them, and Pwatered 
their flock. 

18 And when they came to qReuel 
their father, he said. How is it that 
ye are come so soon to-day ? 

19 And they said, An Egyptian 
delivered us out of the hand of the 
shepherds, and also drew water e- 
nough for us, and watered the flock. 

20 And he said unto his daughters, 
And where is he ? why is it that ye 
have left the man? call him, that he 
may ''eat bread. 

21 And Moses was content to dwell 
with the man : and he gave Moses, 
s Zipporah his daughter. 

22 And she bare him a son, and he 
called his name || 'Gershom ; for he 
said, I have been "a stranger in a 
strange land. 

23 TI And it came to pass, ^in pro- 
cess of time, that the king of Egypt 
died: and the children of Israel 
y sighed by reason of the bondage, 
and they cried ; and ^ their ciy came 
up unto God, by reason of the bond- 
age. 

24 And God ^^heard their groaning, 
and God ^remembered his ^cove- 
nant with Abraham, with Isaac, and 
with Jacob. 

25 And God ^ looked upon the 
children of Israel, and God f "^had 
respect unto them.

priest of ]\Iidian: and he led the 
flock to the back side of the desert, 
and came to i^the mountain of God, 
even to Horeb. 

2 And <=the Angel of the Lord ap- 
peared unto him in a flame of fire out 
of the midst of a bush ; and he look- 
ed, and behold, the bush burned 
with fire, and the bush was not con- 
sumed. 

3 And Moses said, I will now turn 
aside, and see this ''great sight, why 
the bush is not burned. 

4 And when the Lord saw that he 
turned aside to see, God called « un- 
to him out of the midst of the ijush, 
and said, Moses, Moses ! And he 
said. Here am 1. 

5 And he said, Draw not nigh 
hither : •'put off" thy shoes from off" 
thy feet ; for the place whereon thou 
standest is holy ground. 

6 Moreover he said, el am the God |^Gen.28. 
of thy father, the God of Abraham, |^ef-^i5^ 
the God of Isaac, and the God oflMi;'|^'22'|2. 
Jacob. And Moses hid his face ; for 
''he was afraid to look upon God. 

7 lIAnd the Lord said, I have 
surely seen the afl^iction of my peo- 
ple which are in Egjpt, and 'have 
heard their cry "^by reason of their 
taskmasters; for '1 know their sor- 
rows : 

8 And "•! am come down to "de- 
liver them out of the hand of the 
Egj'ptians, and to bring them up out 
of that land, "unto a good land, and 
a large, unto a land P flowing with

qthe Canaanites, and the Hittites,

Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the

and ^the water which thou takest out 
of the river f shall become blood up- 
on the dry land. , 

10 U And Moses said unto the 
Lord, O my Lord, I am not f elo- 
quent, neither f heretofore, nor since 
thou hast spoken unto thy servant : 
but si am slow of speech, and of a 
slow tongue. 

11 And the Lord said unto him, 
1^ Who hath made man's mouth ? or 
who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or 
the seeing, or the blind? have not 
I the Lord ? 

12 Now therefore go, and I will be 
'with thy mouth, and teach thee what 
thou shalt say. 

13 And he said, O my Lord, ''send, 
I pray thee, by the hand of him whom 
thou il wilt send. 

14 And the anger of the Lord was 
kindled against Moses, and he said. 
Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother ? 
I know that he can speak well. And 
also, behold, 'he cometh forth to 
meet thee : and when he seeth thee, 
he will be glad in his heart. 

15 And "thou shalt speak unto 
him, and "put words in his mouth: 
and I will be with thy mouth, and 
with his mouth, and owill teach you 
what ye shall do. 

16 And he shall be thy spokesman 
unto the people : and he shall be, 
even he shall be to thee instead of a 
mouth, and Pthou shalt be to him 
instead of God. 

17 And thou shalt take ithis rod 
in thy hand, wherewith thou shalt do 
signs. 

18 TI And Moses went, and returned 
to f Jethro his father-in-law, and said 
unto him. Let me go, I pray thee, 
and return unto my brethren which 
are in Egypt, and see whether they 
be yet alive. And Jethro said to 
Moses, Go in peace. 

19 And the Lord said unto Moses 
in Midian, Go, return into Egypt : 
for ''all the men are dead which 
sought thy life. 

20 And Moses took his wife, and 
his sons, and set them upon an ass, 
and he returned to the land of Egypt. 
And Moses took »the rod of God in 
his hand. 

21 And the Lord said unto Moses, 

64 



Gulls message to Pharaoh ; 

AVTien thou goest to return into 
Egypt, see tfiat thou do all those 
t wonders before Pharaoh which I 
have put in thy hand : but " I will 
harden his heart, that he shall not let 
the people go. 

22 And thou shalt say unto Pha- 
raoh, Thus saith the Lord, •''Israel 
is my son, yeven my first-born. 

23 And I say unto thee. Let my 
son go, that he may serve me : and 
if thou refuse to let him go, behold, ^I 
will slay thy son, even thy first-born. 

24 "t[ And it came to pass by the 
way in the inn, that the Lord '^ met 
him, and sought to "^kill him. 

25 Then Zipporah took <= a sharp 
II stone, and cut off the foreskin of 
her son, and f cast it at his feet, and 
said. Surely a bloody husband art 
thou to me. 

2G So he let him go: then she said, 
A bloody husband thou art, because 
of the circumcision. 

27 "[[ And the Lord said to Aaron, 
Go into the wilderness '^io meet Mo 
ses. And he went, and met him in 
ctlie mount of God, and kissed him. 

28 And Moses ''told Aaron all the

him, and all the Ssigns which he had 
commanded him. 

29 H And Moses and Aaron ''went, 
and gathered together all the elders 
of the children of Israel. 

30 'And Aaron spake all the words

3 And they said, ^The God of the 
Hebrews hath met with us : let us 
go, we pray thee, three days' jom-ney 
into the desert, and sacrifice unto the 
Lord our God ; lest he fall upon us 
W'ith pestilence, or with the sword. 

4 And the king of Egj-pt said unto 
them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and 
Aaron, let the people from theu- 
works ? get you unto your ^ burdens. 

5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the 
people of the land now ai-e ^many, 
and ye make them rest from their 
burdens. 

6 And Pharaoh commanded the 
same day the ? taskmasters of the 
people, and their officers, saying, 

7 Ye shall no more give tiie people 
straw to make brick, as heretofore : 
let tliem go and gather straw^ for 
themselves. 

8 And the tale of the bricks which 
they did make heretofore, ye shall 
lay upon them ; ye shall not diminish 
aught thereof: for they be idle ; there- 
fore they cry, saying. Let us go and 
sacrifice to our God. 

9 1 Let there more work be laid 
upon the men, that they may labour 
therein : and let them not regard 
vain words. 

lOTIAnd the taskmasters of the 
people went out, and their officers, 
and they spake to the people, sajing, 
Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give 
you straw. 

1 1 Go ye, get you straw where ye 
can find it : yet not aught of your 
work shall be diminished. 

12 So the people were scattered 
abroad throughout all the land of 
Eg}pt, to gather stubble instead of 
straw. 

13 And the taskmasters hasted 
them, saying, Fulfil your works, your 
f daily tasks, as when there was straw. 

14 And the officers of the children 
of Israel, w hich Pharaoh's taskmas- 
ters had set over them, were beaten, 
and demanded, W^herefore have ye 
not fulfilled your task in making 
brick, both yesterday and to-day, as 
heretofore? 

15 II Then the officers of the chil- 
dren of Israel came and cried unto 
Pharaoh, saying. Wherefore dealest 
thou thus with thy servants? 

IG There is no straw given unto 
65 



God reneweth his promise. ' 

thy servants, and they say to us, 
Make brick : and behold, thy ser- 
vants are beaten; but the fault is in 
thine own people. 

17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are 
idle : therefore ye say, Let us go, and 
do sacrifice to the Lord. 

18 Go therefore now, and work: 
for there shall no straw be given you, 
yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks. 

19 And the officers of the children 
of Israel did see that they were in 
evil case, after it was said. Ye shall 
not minish aught from your bricks 
of your daily task. 

20 H And they met Moses and 
Aaron, who stood in the way, as they 
came forth from Pharaoh : 

21 I'And they said unto them. The 
Lord look upon you, and judge ; 
because ye have made our savour fto 
be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, 
and in the eyes of his servants, to put 
a sword in their hand to slay us. 

22 And Moses returned unto the 
LoRD,and said, Lord,wherefoi'e hast 
thou so evil-entreated this people ? 
why is it that thou hast sent me ? 

23 For since I came to Pharaoh to 
speak in thy name, he hath done evil 
to this people: f neither hast thou 
delivered thy people at all.

Lord, saying, Behold, the children 
of Israel have inot hearkened unto 
me ; howthen shall Pharaoh hear me, 
^ who am of uncircumcised lips? 

13 And the Lord spake unto Mo-

a charge unto the children of Israel, 
and unto Pharaoh king of Egj^pt, to 
bring the children of Israel out of 
the land of Egypt.

Moses is sent again to Pharaoh. 

2 Thou <^shalt speak all that I com- 
mand thee : and Aaron thy brother 
shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he 
send the children of Israel out of his 
land. 

3 And <^ I will harden Pharaoh's 
heart, and "^multiply my *"signs and 
my wonders in the land of Egypt. 

4 But Pharaoh shall not hearken 
unto you, s that I may lay my hand 
upon Egypt, and bring forth mine 
armies, and my people the children 
of Israel, out of the land of Eg}^pt, 
''by great judgments. 

5 And the Eg)-ptians 'shall know 
that I am the Lord, when 1 1^ stretch 
forth my hand upon Egypt, and 
bring out the children of Israel from 
among them. 

G And Moses and Aaron 'did as the 
Lord commanded them, so did they. 

7 And Moses was '"fourscore years 
old, and Aaron fourscore and three 
years old, when they spake unto 
Pharaoh. 

8 T[ And the Lord spake unto Mo- 
ses, and unto Aaron, saying, 

9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto 
you, saying, "Shew a miracle for 
you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, 
°Take thy rod, and cast it before 
Pharaoh, and it shall become a ser- 
pent. 

10 HAnd !Moses and Aaron went 
in unto Pharaoh, and they did so Pas 
the Lord had commanded: And Aa- 
ron cast down his rod before Pha- 
raoh, and before his servants, and it 
'1 became a serpent. 

11 Then Pharaoh also ■'called the 
wise men, and "the sorcerers: now 
the magicians of Egypt, they also 
'did in like manner with their en- 
chantments. 

12 For they cast down eveiy man 
his rod, and they became serpents : 
but Aaron's rod swallowed up their 
rods. 

13 .^Vnd he hardened Pharaoh's 
heart that he liearkened not unto 
them; "^ as the Lord had said. 

14 TI And the Lord said unto Mo- 
ses, ^Pharaoh's heart is hardened, 
he refuseth to let the people go. 

15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the 
morning; lo, he goeth out unto the 
water, and thou shalt stand by the 
river's brinli against he come: and 

67 



The river is turned into blood. 

y the rod which was turned to a ser- 
pent shalt thou take in thy hand. 

16 And thou shalt say unto him, 
z The Lord God of the Hebrews hath 
sent me unto thee, saying, Let my 
people go, ^ that they may serve me 
in the wilderness : and behold, hi- 
therto thou wouldest not hear. 

17 Thus saith the Lord, In this 
bthou shalt know that I am the Lord : 
behold, I will smite with the rod that 
is in my hand upon the waters 
which are in the river, and =they 
shall be turned <i to blood. 

18 And the fish that is in the river 
shall die, and the river shall stink : 
and the Egyptians shall <= loathe to 
drink of the water of the river. 

19 T[And the Lord spake unto 
Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy 
rod, and ^stretch out thy hand up- 
on the waters of Egypt, upon their 
streams, upon their rivers, and upon 
their ponds, and'upon all their f pools 
of water, that they may become 
blood : and that there may be blood 
throughout all the land of Egypt, 
both in vessels of wood, and in ves- 
sels of stone. 

20 And Moses and Aaron did so, 
as the Lord commanded ; and he 
& lifted up the rod and smote the 
waters that we7-e in the river, in the 
sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight 
of his servants; and all the i» waters 
that were in the river were turned 
into blood. 

21 And the fish that was in the 
river died ; and the river stank, and 
the Egyptians ' could not drink of 
the water of the river; and there 
was blood throughout all the land of 
Egypt. 

22 i^And the magicians of Egj^pt 
did so with their enchantments : and 
Pharaoh's heart was hardened, nei- 
ther did he hearken unto them ; ' as 
the Lord had said. 

_ 23 And Pharaoh turned and went 
into his house, neither did he set his 
heart to this also. 

24 And all the Egyptians digged 
round about the river for water to 
drink ; for tliey could not drink of 
the water of the river. 

2,5 And seven days were fulfilled 
after that the Loud had smitten the 
river.

me. 

2 And if thou i^ refuse to let them

3 And the river shall bring forth

troughs : 

4 And the frogs shall come up both

5 Tf And the Lord spake unto Mo- 
ses, Say unto Aaron, «= Stretch forth 
thy hand with thy rod over the 
streams, over the rivers, and over the 
ponds, and cause frogs to come up 
upon the land of Egypt. 

6 And Aaron stretched out his hand 
over the waters of Egypt ; and ^the 
frogs came up, and covered the land 
of Egypt. _ • 

7 sAnd the magicians did so with 
their enchantments, and brought up 
frogs upon the land of Egypt.

and Aaron, and said, ^ Entreat the 
Lord that he may take away the 
frogs from me, and from my people ; 
and I will let the people go, that they

9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, 

II Glory over me : ||when shall I en- 
treat for thee and for thy servants, 
and for thy people, f to destroy the 
frogs from thee, and thy houses, tliat 
they may remain in the river only ? 

10 And he said, || To-morrow. And 
he said. Be it according to thy word : 
that thou mayest know that ^ there is 
none like unto the Lord our God. 

1 1 And the frogs shall depart from 
thee, and from thy houses, and from 
thy servants, and from thy people ; 
they shall remain in the river only. 

12 And Moses and Aaron went out

from Pharaoh: and Moses i^' cried 
unto the Lord, because of the frogs 
which he had brought against Pha- 
raoh. 

13 And the Lord did according to 
the word of Moses : and the frogs 
died out of the iiouses, out of the 
villages, and out of the fields. 

14 And theygatheredthemtogether 
upon heaps : and the land stank. 

1 5 But when Pharaoh saw that there 
was ' respite, "'he hardened his heart, 
and hearkened not unto them ; as the 
I^oRD had said. 

16 H And the Lord said unto Mo- 
ses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy 
rod, and smite the dust of the land, 
that it may become lice throughout 
all the land of" Egypt. 

17 And they did so; for Aaron 
stretched out his hand with his rod, 
and smote the dust of the earth, and 
"it became lice in man and in beast : 
all the dust of the land became lice 
throughout all the land of Egypt. 

18 And othe magicians did so with 
their enchantments to bring forth 
lice, but they P could not: so there 
were lice upon man, and upon beast. 

19 Then the magicians said unto 
Pharaoh, This is 'ithe finger of God: 
and Pharaoh's •■ heart was hardened, 
and he hearkened not unto them ; as 
the Lord had said. 

20 TIAnd the Lord said unto Mo- 
ses, sRise up early in the morning, 
and stand before Pharaoh ; (lo,he Com- 
eth forth to the water ;) and say unto 
him. Thus saith the Lord, < I^et my 
people go, that they may serve me : 

21 Else, if thou wilt not let 
my people go, behold, I will send 
II swarms ofjlies upon thee, and up- 
on thy servants, and upon thy peo- 
ple, and into thy houses: and the 
houses of the Eg>'ptians shall be full 
of swarms ofjlies, and also the ground 
whereon they are. 

22 And »I will sever in that day the 
land of Goshen, in which my people 
dwell, that no swarms of f'lirs shall 
be there; to the end thou mayest 
know that I am the Lord in the

23 And I will put fa division be-

Pharaoh is yet hardened. 

=^ there came a grievous swarm of 
fiies into the house of Pharaoh, ancl 
into liis servants' houses, and into 
all the land of Egj-pt : the land was 
corrupted by reason of the swarm 
ofjlies. 

25 H And Pharaoh called for Mo- 
ses, and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, 
sacrifice to your God in the land. 

26 And Moses said, It is not meet 
so to do ; for we shall sacrifice Jthe 
abomination of the Egjptians to the 
Lord our God : Lo, shall we sacri- 
fice the abomination of the Egyptians 
before their eyes, and will they not 
stone us ? 

27 We will go ^three days' journey 
into the wilderness, and sacrifice to 
the Lord our God, as *he shall com- 
mand us. 

28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you 
go, that ye may sacrifice to the Lord 
your God in the wilderness ; only ye 
shall not go very faraway: ^entreat 
for me. 

29 And INIoses said, Behold, I go 
out from thee, and 1 will entreat the 
Lord that the swarms of Jlies may 
depart from Pharaoh, from his ser- 
vants, and from his peojile, to-mor- 
row : but let not Pharaoh <^ deal de- 
ceitfully any more, in not letting the 
people go to sacrifice to the I^rd. 

30 And Moses went out from Pha- 
raoh, and ''entreated the Lord: 

31 And the Lord did according to 
the word of Moses ; and he removed 
the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, 
from his servants, and from his peo- 
ple ; there remained not one. 

32 And Pharaoh 'hardened his 
heart at this time also, neither would 
he let the people go.

THEN the Lord said unto Moses, 
"Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell 
him, Thus saith the Lord God of 
the Hebrews, Let my people go, that 
they may sene me. 

2 For if thou ^ refuse to let them 
go, and wilt hold them still,

upon the sheep : there shall be a very 
grievous murrain. 

4 And '^the Lord shall sever be- 
tween the cattle oflsrael, and the cat- 
tle of Egypt : and there shall nothing 
die of all that is the children's of Is- 
rael. 

5 And the Lord appointed a set 
time, saying, To-morrow the Lord 
shall do this thing in the land. 

6 And the Lord did that thing on 
the morrow, and ^all the cattle of 
Egypt died : but of the cattle of the 
children of Israel died not one. 

7 And Pharaoh sent, and behold, 
there was not one of the cattle of the 
Israelites dead. And ^the heart of 
Pharaoh was hardened, and he did 
not let the people go. 

8 11 And the Lord said unto Moses 
and unto Aaron, Take to you hand- 
fuls of ashes of the furnace, and let 
Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven 
in the sight of Pharaoh. 

9 And it shall become small dust in 
all the land of Egypt, and shall be 
sa bile breaking forth tvith blains 
upon man, and upon beast, through- 
out all the land of Egypt. 

10 And they took ashes of the fur- 
nace, and stood before Pharaoh ; and 
Moses sprinkled it up toward hea- 
ven : and it became ^ a bile breaking 
forth with blains upon man, and up 
on beast. 

11 And the 'magicians could not 
stand before Moses, because of the 
bile : for the bile was upon the magi- 
cians, and upon all the Egyptians. 

12 And the Lord hardened the 
heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened 
not unto them ; ^as the Lord had 
spoken unto Moses. 

13 1 And the Lord said unto Mo- 
ses, iRise up early in the morning,

14 For I will at this time send all 
my plagues upon thy heart, and 
upon thy servants, and upon thy peo- 
ple : ""that thou mayest know that 
there is none like me in all the earth.

people with pestilence ; and thou shalt

The plague of hail. 

16 And in very deed for " this cause 
have I I raised thee up, for to shew 
in thee my power ; and that my name 
may be declared throughout all the 
earth. 

17 As yet exaltest thou thyself 
against my people, that thou wilt not 
let them go? 

18 Behold, to-morrow about this 
time I Mv'iW cause it to rain a very 
grievous hail, such as hath not been 
in Egypt since the foundation there- 
of even until now. 

19 Send therefore now, and gather 
thy cattle, and all that thou hast in 
the field : for upon every man and 
beast which shall be found in the 
field, and shall not be brought home, 
the hail shall come down upon them, 
and they shall die. 

20 He that feared the word of the 
Lord among the servants of Pharaoh 
made his servants and his cattle flee 
into the houses : 

21 And he that f regarded not the 
word of the Lord left his servants 
and his cattle in the field. 

22 If And the Lord said unto Mo- 
ses, Stretch forth thy hand toward 
heaven, that there may be Phail in 
all the land of Egypt, upon man, and 
upon beast, and upon every herb 
of the field, throughout the land of 
Egypt. 

23 And Moses stretched forth his 
rod toward heaven, and ithe Lord 
sent thunder and hail, and the fire 
ran along upon the ground : and the 
Lord rained hail upon the land of 

Egypt- 

24 So there v\^as hail, and fire min- 
gled with the hail, very grievous, such 
as there was none like it in all the 
land of Egypt since it became a na- 
tion. 

25 And the hail smote throughout 
all the land of Egypt all that was in 
the field, both man and beast, and 
the hail '^ smote every herb of the field 
and brake every tree of the field. 

26 s Only in the land of Goshen, 
where the children of Israel were, 
was there no hail. 

27 I' And Phai-aoh sent and called 
for Moses and Aaron, and said unto 
them, 1 1 have sinned this time : " the 
Lord is righteous, and I and my 
people are wicked. 

70 



Pharaoh sueth to Moses. 

28 ^Entreat the Lord (for it is 
enough) that there be no mo7-e 
•j- mighty thunderings and hail ; and 
I will let you go, and ye shall stay 
no longer. 

29 And Moses said unto him, As 
soon as I am gone out of the city, I 
will y spread abroad my hands unto 
the Lord ; a?id the thunder shall 
cease, neither shall there be anymore 
hail; that thou mayest know how 
that the ^ earth is the Lord's. 

30 But as for thee and thy servants, 
"I know that ye will not yet fear the 
Lord God. 

31 And the flax and the barley was 
smitten: i" for the barley 2/;as in the 
ear, and the flax was boiled. 

32 But the wheat and the r^'e were 
not smitten : for they were f not 
grown up. 

33 And Moses went out of the city 
from Pharaoh, and <^ spread abroad 
his hands unto the Lord : and the 
thunders and hail ceased, and the 
rain was not poured upon the earth. 

34 And when Pharaoh saw that the 
rain and the hail and the thunders 
were ceased, he sinned yet more, 
and hardened his heart, he and his 
servants. 

35 And ""the heart of Pharaoh was 
hardened, neither would he let the 
children of Israel go; as the Lord 
had spoken f by Moses.

Locusts are threatened. 

4 Else, if thou refuse to let my 
people go, behold, to-morrow will I 
bring the « locusts into thy coast : 

5 And they shall cover the f face 
of the earth, that one cannot be able 
to see the earth : and ''they shall eat 
the residue of that which is escaped, 
which remaineth unto you from the 
hail, and shall eat every tree which 
groweth for you out of the field: 

6 And they sshall fill thy houses, 
and the houses of all thy sen ants, 
and the houses of all the Egyptians ; 
which neither thy fathers, nor thy fa- 
thers' fathers have seen, since the day 
that they were upon the earth unto 
this day. And he turned himself, 
and went out from Pharaoh. 

7 And Pharaoh's sers'ants said unto 
him. How long shall this man be i^a 
snare unto us ( Let the men go, that 
they may serve the Lord their God : 
Knowest thou not yet that Egjpt is 
destroyed ? 

8 And Moses and Aaron were 
brought again unto Pharaoh : and he 
said unto them. Go, serve the Lord 
your God : but f who are they that 
shall go? 

9 And Moses said, We will go with 
our young and with our old, with our 
sons and with our daughters, with 
our flocks and with our herds will 
we go: for 'we ?nust hold a feast 
unto the Lord. 

10 And he said unto them, Let the 
Lord be so with you, as I will let 
you go, and your little ones : look to 
it; for evil is before you. 

1 1 Not so : go now ye that are men, 
and serve the Lord ; for that ye did 
desire. And they were driven out 
from Pharaoh's presence. 

12 H And the Lord said unto Mo- 
ses, ''Stretch out thy hand over the 
land of Egypt for the locusts, that 
they may come up upon the land of 
Eg}'pt, and 'eat ever)' herb of the 
land, even all that the hail hath left. 

13 And Moses stretched forth his 
rod over the land of Egypt, and the 
Lord brought an east wind upon the 
land all that day, and all that night : 
and when it was morning, the east 
wind brought the locusts. 

14 And "^the locusts went up over 
all the land of Egypt, and rested in 
all the coasts of Egypt : veiy grievous 

71 



TJie plague of the locusts, 
were they; "before them there were 
no such locusts as they, neither after 
them shall be such. 

15 For they o covered the face of 
the whole earth, so that the land was 
darkened ; and they Pdid eat every 
herb of the land, and all the fruit of 
the trees which the hail had left: and 
there remained not any green thing 
in the trees, or in the herbs of the 
field, through all the land of Egypt. 

16 1 Then Pharaoh f called for 
Moses and Aaron in haste ; and he 
said, q I have sinned against the Lord 
your God, and against you. 

17 Now therefore forgive, I pray 
thee, my sin only this once, and "^en- 
treat the Lord your God that he 
may take away from me this death 
only. 

18 And he ^went out from Pha- 
raoh, and entreated the Lord. 

19 And the Lord turned a mighty 
strong west wind which took away 
the locusts, and feast them 'into the 
Red sea: there remained not one 
locust in all the coasts of Egypt. 

20 But the Lord "hardened Pha- 
raoh's heart, so that he would not let 
the children of Israel go. 

21 TI And the Lord said unto Mo- 
ses, ^ Stretch out thy hand toward 
heaven, that there may be darkness 
over the land of Egypt, f even dark- 
ness which may be felt. 

22 And Moses stretched forth his 
hand toward heaven : and there was 
a y thick darkness in all the land of 
Egypt three days : 

23 They saw not one another, nei- 
ther rose any from his place for three 
days : ^but all the children of Israel 
had light in their dwellings. 

24 "[[ And Pharaoh called unto Mo- 
se§, and ^ said. Go ye, serve the Lord : 
only let your flocks and your herds be 
stayed : let your "fittle ones also go 
with you. 

25 And Moses said. Thou must give 
I us also sacrifices, and burnt-offer- 
ings, that we may sacrifice unto the 
Lord our God. 

26 Our cattle also shall go with us ; 
there shall not a hoof be left be- 
hind ; for thereof must we take to 
serve the Lord our God ; and we 
know not with what we must serve 
the Lord, until we come thither.

a when he shall let you go, he shall

The feast of unleavened bread. 
your loins girded, your shoes on your 
feet, and your statf in your hand : 
and ye shall eat it in haste ; eit is 
the Lord's passover. 

12 For I •> will pass through the land 
of Egypt this night, and will smite 
all the first-born in the land of Egypt, 
both man and beast: and 'against 
all the II gods of Egypt I will exe- 
cute judgment : ^\ am the Lord. 

1 3 And the blood shall be to you for 
a token upon the houses where ye 
are : and when I see the blood, I w^ill 
pass over you, and the plague shall 
not be upon you f to destroy you, 
when I smite the land of Egypt. 

14 And this day shall be unto you 
'for a memorial; and ye shall keep 
it a ™ feast to the Loud throughout 
your generations : yc shall keep it a 
feast "by an ordinance for ever. 

15 "Seven days shall ye eat unlea- 
vened bread ; even the first day ye 
shall put away leaven out of your 
houses : for w hosoever eateth leaven- 
ed bread, from the first day until the 
seventh day, I'that soul shall be cut 
oft' from Israel. 

10 And in the first day thei-e shall 
be ^a holy convocation, and in the 
seventh day there shall be a holy 
convocation to you : no manner of 
work shall be done in them, save that 
which eveiy fman mu.st eat, that 
only may be done of you. 

17 And ye shall observe the feast of 
luileavened bread ; for nn this self- 
same day have I brought your armies 
out of the land of Egypt : therefore 
shall ye observe this day in your ge- 
nerations by an ordinance for ever. 

18 Tli^In the first month, on the 
fourteenth day of the month at even, 
ye shall eat unleavened bread, until 
the one and twentieth day of the 
month at even. 

19 'Seven days shall there be no 
leaven found in your houses : for 
whosoever eateth that which is lea- 
vened, "even that soul shall be cut 
off" from the congregation of Israel, 
whether he be a stranger, or born in 
the land. 

20 Ye shall cat nothing leavened : 
in all your habitations siiall ye eat 
unleavened bread. 

21 TI Then Moses called for all the 
elders of Israel, and said unto them, 

73 



The. firsi-hoi-n of Egypt slain. 

■■'Draw out, and take you a || lamb, 
according to your families, and kill 
the passover. 

22 J'And ye shall take a bunch of 
hyssop, and dip it in the blood that 
is in the bason, and ^ strike the lintel 
and the two side-posts with the blood 
that is in the bason : and none of you 
shall go out at the door of his house 
until the morning. 

23 '^For the Lord will pass through 
to smite the Egyptians ; and when 
he seeth the blood upon the lintel, 
and on the two side-posts, the Lord 
will pass over the door, and ''will 
not suffer =the destroyer to come in 
unto your houses to smite you. 

24 And ye shall observe this thing 
for an ordinance to thee and to thy 
sons for ever. 

25 And it shall come to pass, when 
ye be come to the land which the 
Lord will give you, <i according as 
he hath promised, that ye shall keep 
this service. 

26 "^ And it shall come to pass, when 
your children shall say unto you. 
What mean ye by this service ? 

27 That ye shall say, ^It is the 
sacrifice of the Lord's passover, 
who passed over the houses of the 
children of Israel in Egypt, when 
he smote the Egyptians, and deli- 
vered our houses. And the people 
(f bowed the head and worshipped. 

28 And the children of Israel went 
away, and ''did as the Lord had 
commanded Moses and Aaron, so 
did they. 

29 TI 'And it came to pass, that at 
midnight ^^the Lord smote all the 
first-born in the land of Egypt, 'from 
the first-born of Pharaoh that sat on 
his throne, unto the first-born of the 
captive that ivas in the f dungeon ; 
and all the first-born of cattle. 

30 And Pharaoh rose up in the 
night, he, and all his servants, and 
all the Eg}'ptians ; and there was a 
'"great ciy in Egj'pt : for there was 
not a house where there was not one 
dead. 

31 II And "he called for Moses and 
Aaron by night, and said. Rise up, 
and get you forth from among my 
people, °both ye and the children of 
Israel : and go, serve the Lord, as 
ye have said.

The Israelites driven out of the land. 

32 pAIso take your flocks and your 
herds, as ye have said, and be gone : 
and qbless me also. 

33 '■And the Egyptians were urgent 
upon the people, that they might send 
them out of the land in haste ; for 
they said, ^We he all dead men. 

34 And the people took their dough 
before it was leavened, their || knead- 
ing troughs being bound up in their 
clothes upon their shoulders. 

35 And the children of Israel did 
ccording to the word of Moses : 

and they borrowed of the Egyptians 
tjewels of silver, and jewels of gold, 
and raiment. 

36 "And the Lord gave the people 
favour in the sight of the Egyptians, 
so that they lent unto them such 
things as they required: and ^they 
spoiled the Egyptians. 

37 TI And J'the children of Israel 
journeyed from 2;Rameses to Suc- 
coth, about ^ six hundred thousand on 
foot that were men, besides children. 

38 And f a mixed multitude went 
up also with them ; and flocks, and 
herds, even very much cattle. 

39 And they baked unleavened 
cakes of the dough which they 
brought forth out of Egypt, for it 
was not leavened: because ^they 
were thrust out of Egypt, and could 
not tarry, neither had they prepared 
for themselves any victual. 

40 '\ Now the sojourning of the 
children of Israel who dwelt in 
Egypt, was ^four hundred and thirty 
years. 

41 And it came to pass, at the end 
of the four hundred and thirty years, 
even the self-same day it came to pass, 
that all "J the hosts of the Lord went 
out from the land of Egypt. 

42 It is f ea night to be much ob- 
served unto the Lord, for bringing 
them out from the land of Egypt : 
this is that night of the Lord to be 
observed of all the children of Israel 
in their generations. 

43 *![ And the Lord said unto Moses 
and Aaron, This is ^the ordinance of 
the passover: there shall no stranger 
eat thereof: 

44 But every man's servant that is 
bought for money, when thou hast 
g circumcised him, then shall he eat 
thereof. 

74 



The first-born sanctified to God. 

45 ^A foreigner, and a hired ser- 
vant shall not eat thereof. 

46 In one house shall it be eaten ; 
thou shalt not carry forth aught of the 
flesh abroad out of the house : 'nei- 
ther shall ye break a bone thereof. 

47 ^All the congregation of Israel 
shall t keep it. 

48 And 'when a stranger shall so- 
journ with thee, and will keep the 
passover to the Lord, let all his 
males be circumcised, and then let 
him come near and keep it; and he 
shall be as one that is born in the 
land : for no uncircumcised person 
shall eat thereof. 

49 n»One law shall be to him that 
is home-born, and unto the stranger 
that sojourneth among you. 

50 Thus did all the children of 
Israel; as the Lord commanded 
Moses and Aaron, so did they. 

51 "And it came to pass the self- 
same day, that the Lord did bring 
the children of Israel out of the land 
of Egypt "by their armies.

Pharaoh pursueih after them. 

7 And he took "six hundred chosen 
chariots, and all the chariots of E- 
gypt, and captains over every one of 
them. 

8 And the Lord ^^ hardened the 
heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and 
he pursued after the children of Is- 
rael : and Hhe children of Israel went 
out with a high hand. 

9 But the '"Egyptians pursued af- 
ter them (all the horses and chariots 
of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his 
army) and overtook them encamp- 
ing by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, 
before Baal-zephon. 

10 ^ And when Pharaoh drew nigh, 
the children of Israel lifted up their 
eyes, and behold, the Egyptians 
marched after them ; and they were 
sore afraid : and the children of Is- 
rael "cried out unto the Lord, 

11 oAnd they said unto Moses, Be- 
cause there were no graves in Egypt, 
hast thou taken us away to die in the 
wilderness ? Wherefore hast thou 
dealt thus with us, to carry us forth 
out of Egypt? 

12 P Is not this the word that we 
did tell thee in Egypt, saying. Let us 
alone, that we may serve the Egyp- 
tians ? For it had been better for us 
to serve the Egyptians, than that we 
should die in the wilderness. 

13 If And Moses said unto the peo- 
ple, qFear ye not, stand still, and 
see the salvation of the Lord, which 
he will shew to you to-day : || for the 
Egyptians whom ye have seen to- 
day, ye shall see them again no more 
for ever. 

14 ''The Lord shall fight for you, 
and ye shall ^hold your peace. 

15 TIAnd the Lord said unto Mo- 
ses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? 
Speak unto the children of Israel, 
that they go forward : 

16 But Mift thou up thy rod, and 
stretch out thy hand over the sea, 
and divide it : and the children of Is- 
rael shall go on dry ground through 
the midst of the sea. 

17 And I, behold, I will "harden 
the hearts of the Egyptians, and they 
shall follow them : and I will ''get 
me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon 
all his host, upon his chariots, and 
upon his horsemen. 

18 And the Egyptians y shall know

that I am the Lord, when I have 
gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, 
upon his chariots, and upon his 
horsemen. 

19 Tl And the angel of God ^ which 
went before the camp of Israel, re- 
moved, and went behind them ; and 
the pillar of the cloud went from 
before their face, and stood behind 
tiiem : 

20 And it came between the camp 
of the Egyptians and the camp of 
Israel ; and ^ it was a cloud and dark- 
ness to them, but it gave light by 
night to these: so that the one came 
not near the other all the night. 

21 And Moses ''stretched out his 
hand over the sea ; and the Lord 
caused the sea to go back by a strong 
east wind all that night, and <=made 
the sea dry land, and tiie waters 
were ''divided. 

22 And <^the children of Israel went 
into the midst of the sea upon tiie 
dry ground: and the waters were 'a 
wall unto them on their right hand, 
and on their left. 

23 H And the Egyptians pursued, 
and went in after them, to the midst 
of the sea, even all Pliaraoh's horses, 
his chariots, and his horsemen. 

24 And it came to pass, that in the 
morning-watch sthe Lord looked 
unto the host of the Egj'ptians 
through the pillar of fire and of the 
cloud, and troubled tiie host of the 
Egyptians, 

25 And took offthcir chariot-wheels, 
II that they d rave them heavily: so 
that the Egyptians said. Let us flee 
from the face of Israel ; for tiic Loud 
''lighteth for them against the Egyp- 
tians. 

26 "il And the Lord said unto INIo- 
ses, 'Stretch out thy hand over the 
sea, that the waters may come again 
upon the Egyptians, upon their cha- 
riots, and upon their horsemen. 

27 And Moses stretched forth his 
hand over the sea, and the sea 
^■' returned to his strength when the 
morning appeared ; and the Egyp- 
tians fled against it; and the Lord 
't overthrew the Egyptians in tlie 
midst of the sea.

5 And it shall come to pass, that on 
the sixth day they shall prepare tliat 
which they bring in ; and ''it shall be

liORD heareth your murmurings 
which ye murmur against him : And 
what are we ? your murmurings are

The ordering of the manna. 

is manna : for they wist not what it 
was. And Moses said unto them, 
^Tliis is the bread which the Lord 
hath given you to eat. 

16 II This is the thing which the 
Lord hath commanded, Gather of it 
every man according to his eating : 
yan omer f for every man according 
to the number of your f persons, 
take ye every man for them which 
are in his tents. 

17 And the children of Israel did 
so, and gathered, some more, some 
less. 

18 And when they did mete it with 
an omer, ^he that gathered much had 
nothing over, and he that gathered 
httle had no lack : they gathered 
every man according to his eating. 

19 And Moses said. Let no man 
leave of it till tiie morning. 

20 Notwithstanding, they heark- 
ened not unto Moses : but some of 
them left of it until the morning, 
and it bred worms, and stank : and 
Moses was wroth with them. 

21 And they gathered it every 
morning, ever}' man according to 
his eating : and when the sun w axed 
hot it melted. 

22 H And it came to pass, that on 
the sixth day they gathered twice as 
much bread, two omers for one man : 
and all tiie rulers of the congregation 
came and told Moses. 

23 And he said unto them, This is 
that which the Lord hath said, To- 
morrow- is a the rest of the holy sab- 
bath unto the Lord : bake that 
which ye will bake to-day, and seethe 
that ye will seethe ; and that which 
remaincth over, lay up for you to be 
kept until tiie morning. 

24 And they laid it up till the morn- 
ing, as Moses bade : and it did not 
•^ stink, neither was there any worm 
therein. 

25 And Moses sa ' d. Eat that to-day ; 
forto-day js asabbath untothcLoRo; 
to-day ye shall not find it in the field. 

26 c Six days ye shall gather it ; but 
on the seventh day, which is the sab- 
bath, in it there shall be none. 

27 II And it came to pass, that there 
went out some of the people on the 
seventh day for to gatlier, and they 
found none.

How long 'J refuse ye to keep my 
commandments and my laws i 

29 See, for that the Lord hath 
-given you the sabbath, therefore he 
giveth you on the sixth day the bread 
of two days : abide ye every man in 
his place, let no man go out of his 
place on the seventh day. 

30 So the people rested on the se- 
venth day. 

31 And' the house of Israel called 
the name thereof Manna: and «=it 
was like coriander-seed, white ; and 
the taste of it was like wafers made 
with honey. 

32 H And Moses said. This is the 
thing which the Lord commandeth, 
Fill an omer of it to be kept for your 
generations ; that they may see the 
bread wherewith I have fed you in 
the wilderness, when I brought you 
forth from the land of Egj'pt. 

33 And JMoses said unto Aaron, 
f Take a pot, and put an omer full of f Hebr. a 4 
manna therein, and lay it up before 
the Lord, to be kept for your gene- 
rations. 

34 As the Lord commanded Mo- 
ses, so Aaron laid it up ? before the 
Testimony, to be kept. 

35 And the children 
eat manna ''forty years, 'until they^ 
came to a land inhabited: they did 
eat manna, until they came unto thei 
borders of the land of Canaan. 

36 Now an omer is the tenth part 
of an ephah.

Amalek discomfited. 

out of Egypt to kill us and om- chil- 
dren and our cattle with thirst ? 

4 And Moses Scried mito the Lord, 
saying. What shall I do unto this 
people ? they be almost ready to 
'stone me. 

5 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
sGo on before the people, and take 
with thee of the elders of Israel : and 
thy rod, where with ''thou smotest the 
river, take in thine hand, and go. 

• 6 'Behold, I will stand before thee 
there upon the rock in Horeb ; and 
thou shalt smite the rock, and there 
shall come water out of it, that the 
people may drink. And Moses did so 
in the sight of the elders of Israel. 

7 And he called the name of the 
place '= II Massah, and j] Meribah, be- 
cause of the chiding of the cliildi'en 
of Israel, and because they tempted 
the Lord, saying. Is the Lord among 
us, or not ? 

8 ^ 'Then came Amalek, and fought 
"0"ith Israel in Rephidim. 

9 And Moses said unto ^Joshua, 
Choose us out men, and go out, fight 
with Amalek: to-morrow I will stand 
on the top of the hill with "the rod 
of God in my hand. 

10 So Joshua did as Moses had said 
to him, and fought with Amalek : 
and Moses, Aaron, and Hur, went 
up to the top of the hill. 

11 And it came to pass, when Mo- 
ses °held up liis hand, that Israel 
prevailed : and when he let down 
his hand, Amalek prevailed. 

12 But Moses' hands were heavy; 
and they took a stone, and put it un- 
der him, and he sat thereon : and 
Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, 
the one on the one side, and the other 
on the other side ; and his hands were 
steady until the going down of the 
sun. 

13 And Joshua discomfited Ama- 
lek and his people with the edge of 
the sword. 

14 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
P Write this for a memorial in a book, 
and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: 
for 4 1 will utterly put out the remem- 
brance of Amalek from under heaven. 

15 And Moses built an altar, and 
called the name of it Ij JEHOVAH- 
nissi : 

16 For he said, || Because f the Lord

I Jethro bringeth to Moses his wife and tiro sons. 
7 Moses enlertaiiieth him. Vi Jethrd's coumel 
is accepted. 27 Jethro deparleth. 

WHEN a Jethro the priest of 
Midian, Moses' father-in-law, 
heard of all that ''God had done for 
Moses, and for Israel his people, wnc? 
that the Lord had brought Israel out 
of Egj'pt: 

2 Then Jethro, Moses' father-in- 
law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, 
<^ after he had sent her back, 

3 And her <* two sons; of which the 
«name of the one urns ||Gershom; 
(for he said, I have been an alien in 
a strange land :) 

4 And the name of the other was 

II Eliezer ; (for the God of my father, 
said he, was my help, and delivered 
me from the sword of Pharaoh:) 

5 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, 
came with his sons and his wife unto 
Moses into the wilderness, where he 
encamped at ""the mount of God: 

6 And he said unto Moses, I thy 
father-in-law Jethro am come unto 
thee, and thy wife, and her two sons 
with her. 

7 If And Moses Swent out to meet 
his father-in-law, and did obeisance, 
and •> kissed him: and they asked 
each other of their f welfare : and 
they came into the tent. 

8 And Moses told his father-in-law 
all that the Lord had done unto 
Pharaoh, and to the Egj'ptians for 
Israel's sake, and all the travail that 
had t come upon them by the way, 
and how the Lord 'delivered them. 

9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the 
goodness which the Lord had done 
to Israel, whom he had delivered 
out of the hand of the Egyptians. 

10 And Jethro said, •'Blessed be the 
Lord, who hath delivered you out of 
the hand of the Egyptians, and out 
of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath 
delivered the people from under the 
hand of the Egy3)tians. 

] 1 Now I know that the Lord is 
'greater than all gods : >nfor in the 
thing wherein they dealt "proudly, 
he was above them.

Jethro' s counsel to Moses. 

fices for God : and Aaron came, and 
all the elders of Israel to eat bread 
with Moses' father-in-law ° before 
God. 

13 TI And it came to pass on the 
morrow, that Moses sat to judge 
the people : and the people stood by 
Moses from the morning unto the 
evening. 

14 And when Moses' father-in-law 
saw all that he did to the people, he 
said, What is this thing that thou do- 
est to the people ? Why sittest thou 
thyself alone, and all the people stand 
by thee from morning unto even? 

15 And Mo.ses said unto his father- 
in-law. Because Pthe people come 
unto me to inquire of God : 

16 When they have i a matter, they 
come unto me, and I judge between 
f one and another, and I do ""make 
them know the statutes of God, and 
his laws. 

17 And Moses' father-in-law said 
unto him. The thing that thou doest 
is not good. 

18 f Thou wilt surely wear away, 
both thou, and this people that is 
with thee: for this thing is too heavy 
for thee; ^thou art not able to per- 
form it thyself alone. 

19 Hearken now unto my voice, 1 
will give thee counsel, and 'God shall 
be with thee: Be thou "for the peo- 
ple to God-ward, that thou mayest 
* bring the causes unto God: 

20 And thou shalt >' teach them or- 
dinances and laws, and shalt shew 
them 2= the way wherein they must 
walk, and ^the work that they must 
do. 

21 Moreover, thou shalt provide out 
of all the people, ''able men, such as 
«fear God, ''men of truth, « hating 
covetousness; and place such over 
them to be rulers of thousands, and 
rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, 
and rulers of tens : 

22 And let them judge the people 
•"at all seasons: sand it shall be, that 
every great matter they shall bring 
unto thee, but every small matter 
they shall judge : so shall it be easier 
for thyself, and '"they shall bear the 
burdenwith thee. 

23 If thou shalt do this thing, and 
God command thee so, then thou 
shalt be 'able to endure, and all this

The people come to Sinai. 

people shall also go to "^ their place in 

peace. 

24 So Moses hearkened to the voice 
of his father-in-law, and did all that 
he had said. 

25 And 'Moses chose able men out 
of all Israel, and made them heads 
over the people, rulers of thousands, 
rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, 
and rulers of tens. 

26 And they mjudged the people at 
all seasons: the "hard causes they 
brought unto Moses, but every small 
matter they judged themselves. 

27 ^f And Moses let his father-in-law 
depart : and "he went his way into 
his own land. 

CHAP. XIX. 

1 The people come to Siimi. 3 God's message by 
Mioses unto the people out of the mount. S The 
people's answer returned ngnin. 10 The people 
are prepared against the third day. 12 The 
mountain must not be touched. 16 The fearful 
presence of God vpon the mount. 

N the third month, when the chil- 
dren of Israel were gone foith out 
of the land of Egypt, the same day 
a^came they into the wilderness of 
Sinai. 

2 For they we re departed from ''Re- 
phidim, and were come to the desert 
of Sinai, and had pitched in the wil- 
derness ; and there Israel encamped 
before ^the mount. 

3 And d Moses went up unto God, 
and the Lord <= called unto him out 
of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt 
thou say to the house of Jacob, and 
tell the children of Israel ; 

4 Te have seen what I did unto the 
Egyptians, and how si bare you on 
eagles' wings, and brought you unto 
myself. 

5 Now •> therefore, if ye will obey 
my voice indeed, and keep my cove- 
nant, then 'ye shall be a peculiar 
treasure unto me above all people : 
for ''all the earth is mine : 

6 And ye shall be unto me a 'king- 
dom of priests, and a '"holy nation. 
These are the words which thou shalt 
speak unto the children of Israel. 

7 "K And Moses came and called for 
the elders of the people, and laid 
before their faces all these words 
which the Lord commanded him. 

8 And "all the people answered to- 
gether, and said. All that the Lord 
hath spoken we will do. And Moses

cloud, Pthat the people may hear 
when I speak with thee, and q believe 
thee for ever. And Moses told the 
words of the people unto the Lord. 

10 '^ And the Lord said unto Mo- 
ses, Go unto the people, and ''sanc- 
tify them to-day and to-morrow, and 
let them =wash their clothes, 

1 1 And be ready against the third 
day : for the third day the Lord 
'will come down in the sight of all 
the people upon mount Sinai. 

12 And thou shalt set bounds unto 
the people round about, saying. Take 
heed to yourselves, that ye go not up 
into the mount, or touch the border 
of it : " whosoever toucheth the mount 
shall be surely put to death : 

13 There shall not a hand touch 
it, but he shall surely be stoned or 
shot through : whether it be beast 
or man, it shall not live : when the 
II ''trumpet soundeth long, they shall 
come up to the mount. 

14 1[ And Moses went down from 
the mount unto the people, and 
y sanctified the people; and they 
washed their clothes. 

15 And he said unto the people, 
^Be ready against the third day: 
^come not at your wives. 

16 TIAnd it came to pass, on the 
third day in the morning, that there 
were "^thunders and lightnings, and 
a <= thick cloud upon the mount, and 
the <! voice of the trumpet exceeding 
loud ; so that all the people that was 
in the camp •= trembled. 

17 And 'Moses brought forth the 
people out of the camp to meet with 
God ; and they stood at the nether 
part of the mount. 

18 And g mount Sinai was altoge- 
ther on a smoke, because the Lord 
descended upon it ''in fire: 'and the 
smoke thereof ascended as the smoke 
of a furnace, and '^the whole mount 
quaked greatly. 

19 And 'when the voice of the 
trumpet sounded long, and waxed 
louder and louder, '"Moses spake, 
and "God answered him by a voice. 

20 And the Lord came down upon 
mount Sinai, on the top of the mount :

The ten commandments. 

and the Ixjrd called Moses up to the 
top of the mount ; and Moses ^vent 
up. 

21 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
Go down, f charge the people, lest 
they break through unto the Lord 
''to gaze, and many of them perish. 

22 And let the priests also which 
come near to the Lord, p sanctify 
themselves, lest the Lord i break 
forth upon them. 

23 And Moses said unto the Lord, 
The people cannot come up to mount 
iSinai : for thou chargedst us, saying, 
■^Set bounds about the mount, and 
sanctify it. 

24 And the Lord said unto him. 
Away, get thee down, and thou shalt 
come up, thou, and Aaron with thee : 
but let not the priests and the peo- 
ple break through, to come up unto 
the Lord, lest he break forth upon 
them. 

25 So Moses went down unto the 
people, and spake unto them.

9 "Six days shalt thou labour, and 
do all thy work : 

10 But the "seventh day is the sab- 
bath of the Lord thy God: in it thou 
shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy 
son, nor tliy daughter, thy man-ser- 
vant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy 
cattle, Pnor thy stranger that is with- 
in thy gates : 

1 1 For '1 in six days the Lord made 
heaven and earth, the sea and all that 
in them is, and rested the seventh 
day : wherefore tiie Lord blessed the 
sabbath-day, and hallowed it. 

12lI''Honour thy father and thy 
mother ; that thy days may be long 
upon the land which the Lord thy 
God giveth thee. 

13 ^Thou shalt not kill. 

14 'Thou shalt not commit adul- 
tery. 

15 "Thou shalt not steal. 

16 "Thou shalt not bear false wit- 
ness against thy neighbour. 

17 '^Thou shalt not covet thy neigh- 
bour's house, J thou shalt not covet 
thy neighbour's wife, nor his man-ser- 
vant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, 
nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy 
neighbour's. 

18 II And ^all the people ^saw the 
thunderings, and the lightnings, and 
the noise of the trumpet, and the 
mountain ''smoking: and when the 
people saw it, they removed, and 
stood afar off. 

19 And they said unto Moses, 
1*= Speak thou with us, and we will 
!hear: but "'let not God speak with 

us, lest we die. 

20 And Moses said unto the people, 
'^ Fear not : 'for God is come to prove 
you, and sthat his fear may be before 
your faces, that ye sin not. 

21 And the people stood afar off, 
and Moses drew near unto "^ the thick 
darkness where God was. 

22 HAnd the Lord said unto Mo- 
ses, Thus thou shalt say unto the 
children of Israel; Ye have seen that 
I have talked with you 'from heaven. 

23 Ye shall not make ^ with me 
gods of silver, neither shall ye make 
unto you gods of gold. 

24 ^ An altar of earth thou shalt ♦ 
make unto me, and shalt sacrifice 
thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy 
peace-offerings, 'thy sheep, and thine

An Angel is promised, with CHAP. XXIV, 

14 H"' Three times thou shalt keep 
a feast unto me in the year. 

15 «Thou shalt keep the feast of 
unleavened bread : (thou shalt eat 
unleavened bread seven days, as I 
commanded thee, in the time ap- 
pointed of the month Abib ; for in it 
thou earnest out from Egjpt : 'and 
none shall appear before ine empty:) 

16 "And the feast of hai-vest, the 
first-fruits of thy labours, which thou 
hast sown in the field: and -^the feast 
of ingathering, w/iich is in the end of 
the year, when thou hast gathered in 
thy labours out of the field. 

17 y Three times in the year all thy 
males shall appear before the Lord 
God. 

18 ^Thou shalt not offer the blood 
of my sacrifice with leavened bread: 
neither shall the fat of my || sacrifice 
remain until the morning. 

19 ^The first of the first-fruits of 
thy land thou shalt bring into the! 
house of the Loud tliy God. ''Thou 
shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's 
milk. 

20 If <= Behold, I send an Angel be- 
fore thee, to keep thee in the way,! 
and to bring thee into the place; 
v. hicli I have prepared. 

21 Beware of him, and obey his 
voice, "^ provoke him not ; for he will 
''not pardon your transgressions : for 
^my name is in him. 

22 But if thou shalt indeed obey 
his voice, and do all that I speak ; 
then gl will be an enemy unto thine 
enemies, and |laa adversary unto 
thine adversaries. 

23 ''For mine Angel shall go before 
thee, and 'bring thee in unto the 
Amorites, and the Hittites, and the 
Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and 
the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and 
I will cut them off. 

24 Thou shalt not i^bow down to 
their gods, nor serve them, 'nor do 
after their works: ^but thou shalt 
utterly overthrow them, and quite 
break down their images. 

25 And ye shall "serve the Lord 
your God, and °he shall bless thy 
bread, and thy water; and pI will

1 Moses is called up into the moiinlain. 3 Tlie 
people promise obedience. 4 Muses buildeth an 
altar, and iirelre pillars. C lie sprinhltlh Ike 
blood of tlie cifcenaiit. 9 The clorij uf God ap- 
pearctn. 14 Aaron and Itur hare llie charge of 
the people. 15 Moses /roeth into the mount/tin, 
vihere he continueOt forty days and forty nights. 

AND he said unto Moses, Come 
up unto the Lord, thou, and 
Aaron, ^Nadab, and Abihu, ''and 
seventy of the elders of Israel ; and 
worship ye afar off. 

2 And Moses <= alone shall come near 
the Lord: but they shall not come 
nigh ; neither shall the people go up 
with him. 

3 11 And Moses came and told the 
people all the words of the Lord, 
and all the judgments: and all the 
people answered with one voice, and 
said, 'I All the words which the Lord 
hath said will we do. 

4 And Moses ''wrote all the word.s 
of the Lord, and rose up early in 
the morning, and builded an altar 
under the hill, and twelve ''pillars 
according to the twelve tribes of 
Israel. 

87 



Moses goetli up into the mount. • 

5 And he sent young men of the 
children of Israel, which offered 
burnt-offerings, and sacrificed peace- 
offerings of oxen unto the Lord. 

6 And Moses etook half of the 
blood, and put it in basons ; and 
half of the blood he sprinkled on 
the altar. 

7 And he I'took the book of the 
covenant, and read in the audience 
of the people: and they said, 'All 
that the Lord hath said will we do, 
and be obedient. 

8 And Moses took the blood, and 
sprinkled it on the people, and said, 
Behold ^the blood of the covenant, 
which the Lord hath made with you 
concerning all these words. 

9 HThen ^went up Moses, and 
Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and 
seventy of the elders of Israel : 

10 And they "isaw the God of Is- 
rael : and there was under his feet as 
it were a paved work of a " sapphire- 
stone, and as it were the "body of 
heaven in his clearness. 

11 And upon the nobles of the 
children of Israel he Plaid not his 
hand: also ithey saw God, and did 
""eat and drink. 

12 Tl And the Lord said unto Mo- 
ses, ^Come up to me into the mount, 
and be there : and I will give thee 
tables of stone, and a law, and com- 
mandments which I have written; 
that thou mayest teach them. 

13 And Moses rose up, and "his 
minister Joshua: and Moses ^went 
up into the mount of God. 

14 And he said unto the elders, 
Tarry ye here for us, until we come 
again unto you : and behold, Aaron 
and Hur are with you : if any man 
have any matters to do, let him come 
unto them. 

15 And Moses went up into the 
mount, and "a cloud covered the 
mount. 

IG And ythe glory of the Lord 
abode upon mount Sinai, and the 
cloud covered it six days: and the 
seventh day he called unto Moses 
out of the midst of the cloud. 

17 And the sight of the glory of 
the Lord was like ^devouring fire 
on the top of the mount in the eyes 
of the children of Israel. 

18 And Moses went into the midst

p atonement for your souls. 

16 And thou shalt take the atone-

that it may be 'a memorial unto the 
children of Israel before the Lord, to

of brass, and his foot also of brass, 
to wash withal: and thou shalt tput 
it between the tabernacle of the con-

shalt put water therein.

wash their hands and their feet 
thereat : 

20 When they go into the taber-

wash with water, that they die not : 
or when they come near to the altar 
to minister, to burn offering made by 
fire unto the Lord : 

21 So they shall wash their hands 
and their feet, that they die not : and 
wit shall be a statute forever to them,- 
even to him and to his seed through- 
out their generations. 

22 ^ Moreover, the Lord spake 
unto Moses, saying,

half so much, even two hundred and 
fifty shekels, and of sweet ^ calamus

of all that are ^wise-hearted I have 
put wisdom ; that they may make all

1 The people, in the absence of Moses, cause Aaron 
t^makeacalf. 7 Godisangered thereby. 1\ At 
the entreaty of Moses h e is appeased. 15 Moses 
Cometh doicn with the tables. 19 He brenketh 
them. '20 He destroyeththe calf. 29 Anron^s

aters to be slain. 30 He prnyethfor the people. 

ND when the people saw that 
Moses a delayed to come down 
out of the mount, the people gather- 
ed themselves together unto Aaron, 
and said unto him, ''Up, make us 
gods which shall ^^go before us : 
for as for this Moses, the man that 
brought us up out of the land of 
Egypt, we wot not what is become 
of him. 

2 And Aaron said unto them, Break 
off' the ''golden ear-rings which are 
in the ears of your wives, of your 
sons, and of your daughters, and 
bring them unto me. 

3 And all the people brake off the 
golden ear-rings which icere in their 
ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 

4 "^And he received them at their 
hand, and fashioned it with a graving 
tool, after he had made it a molten 
calf: and they said. These he thy 
gods, O Israel, which brought thee 
up out of the land of Egypt. 

5 And when Aaron saw it, he built 
an altar before it ; and Aaron made 
'proclamation, and said, To-moiTow 
is a feast to the Lord. 

6 And they rose up early on the 
morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, 
and brought peace-ofl^e rings : and the 
s people sat down to eat and to drink, 
and rose up to play. 

7 If And the Lord said unto Moses, 
'' Go, get thee down : for thy people, 
which thou broughtest out of the 
land of Egypt, ihave corrupted them- 
selves : 

8 They have turned aside quickly 
out of the way which ^I commanded 
them : they have made them a molten 
calf, and have worshipped it, and 
have sacrificed thereunto, and said, 
1 These he thy gods, O Israel, which 
have brought thee up out of the 
land of Egypt.

10 Now therefore "let me alone, 
that omy wrath may wax hot against 
them, and that I may consume them: 
and pI will make of thee a great 
nation. 

11 lAnd Moses besought fthe 
Lord his God, and said. Lord, why 
doth thy wrath w^ax hot against thy 
people, which thou hast brought 
forth out of the land of Egypt, with 
great power, and with a mighty 
hand? 

12 'Wherefore should the Egyp- 
tians speak and say. For mischief 
did he bring them out, to slay them 
in the mountains, and to consume 
them from the face of the earth? 
Turn from thy fierce wrath, and 
^repent of this evil against thy peo- 
ple. 

13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and 
Israel, thy servants, to whom thou 
'swarest by thine own self, and saidst 
unto them, "I will multiply your 
seed as the stars of heaven, and all 
this land that I have spoken of will 
I give unto your seed, and they shall 
inherit it for ever. 

14 And the Lord ^ repented of the 
evil which he thought to do unto his 
people. 

15 ^And ^ Moses turned, and went 
down from the mount, and the fwo 
tables of the testimony were in his 
hand : the tables were written on 
both their sides ; on the one side and 
on the other were they written. 

16 And the y tables loere the work 
of God, and the writing was the 
writing of God, graven upon the 
tables. 

17 And when Joshua heard the 
noise of the people as they shouted, 
he said unto Moses, Theix is a noise 
of war in the camp. 

18 And he said. It is not the voice 
of theyn that shout for masteiy, nei- 
ther is it the voice of them that cry 
for f being overcome : hut the noise 
of them that sing do I hear. 

19 '^lIAnd it came to pass as soon 
as he came nigh unto the camp, that 
^he saw the calf, and the dancing: 
and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he 
cast the tables out of his hands, and 
brake them beneath the mount.

had made, and burnt it in the fire,

God talketh with Moses openly. 

P sought the Lord, went out unto the 
tabernacle of" the congregation,which 
was without the camp. 

8 And it came to pass when Moses 
went out unto the tabernacle, that all 
the people rose up, and stood every 
man ifrf his tent-door, and looked 
after Moses, until he was gone into 
the tabernacle, 

9 And it came to pass, as Moses en- 
tered into the tabernacle, the cloudy 
pillar descended, and stood at the 
door of the tabernacle, and the 
LORD talked with Moses, 

10 And all the people saw the 
cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle- 
door: and all the people rose up and 
s worshipped, every man in his tent- 
door. 

11 And 'the Lord spake unto Mo- 
ses face to face, as a man speaketh 
unto his friend. And he turned 
again into the camp; but "his ser- 
vant Joshua the son of Nun, a young 
man, departed not out of the taber- 
nacle. 

12 *1[ And Moses said unto the 
Lord, See, ^thou sayest unto me. 
Bring up this people : and thou hast 
not let me know whom thou wilt 
send with me. Yet thou hast said; 
J'l know thee by name, and thou 
hast also found grace in my sight. 

13 Now therefore, I pray thee, '^if 
I have found grace in thy sight, '^ shew 
me now thy way, that I may know 
thee, that I may find grace in thy 
sight: and consider that this nation 
is ''thy people. 

14 And he said, <=My presence shall 
go with thee, and I will give thee "^ rest. 

15 And he said unto him, ^If thy 
presence go not with me, carry us 
not up hence. 

16 For wherein shall it be known 
here that I and thy people have found 
grace in thy sight ? ^Is it not in that 
thou goest with us ? So eshall we be 
separated, I and thy people, from all 
the people that are upon the face of 
the earth. 

17 And the Lord said unto Moses 
^•1 will do this thing also that thou 
hast spoken: for 'thou hast found 
grace in my sight, and I know thee 
by name. 

18 And he said, I beseech thee, 
shew me ^ thy g\ory.

goodness pass before thee, and I will 
proclaim the name of the Lord be- 
fore thee; ni and will be ^gracious 
to whom I will be gracious, and will 
shew mercy on whom I will shew

20 And he said. Thou canst not see 
my face: for "there shall no man 
see me, and live. 

21 And the Lord said, Behold, 
there is a place by me, and thou 
shalt stand upon a rock: 

22 And it shall come to pass, while 
my glory passeth by, that I will put 
thee Pin a cleft of the rock ; and will

them, repeating certain duties of the first table. 
28 Moses after forty days in the mount cometh 
doicn icith the tables. 29 His face shineth, and 
he covereih it with a vail. 

ND the Lord said unto Moses, 
=iHew thee two tables of stone

upon these tables the words that 
were in the first tables which thou 
brakest. 

2 And be ready in the morning, and 
come up in the morning unto mount 
Sinai, and present thyself there to 
me ^in the top of the mount. 

3 And no man shall ''come up with 
thee, neither let any man be seen 
throughout all the mount : neither 
let the flocks nor herds feed before 
that mount. 

4 II And he hewed two tables of 
stone, like unto the first ; and Moses 
rose up early m the morning, and 
went up unto mount Sinai, as the 
I>ORD had commanded him, and took 
in his hand the two tables of stone. 

5 And the Lord descended in the

Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of 
Judah;

spirit of God, in wisdom, in under- 
standing, and in knowledge, and in 
all manner of workmanship; 

32 And to devise curious works, to 
work in gold, and in silver, and in 
brass, 

33 And in the cutting of stones, to 
set them, and in carving of wood, to 
make any manner of cunning work 

34 And he hath put in his heart that 
he may teach, both he, and ''Aholiab, 
the son of Aiiisamach, of the tribe 
of Dan. 

3q Them hath he ^ filled with wis- 
dom of heart, to work all manner of 
work, of the engraver, and of the 
cunning workman, and of the em- 
broiderer, in blue, and in purple, in 
scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the

work all manner of work for the ser- 
vice of the "^ sanctuary-, according to 
all that the Lord had commanded. 

2 And Moses called Bezaleel and 
Aholiab, and every wise-hearted 
man, in whose heart the Lord had 
put wisdom, even every one <= whose 
heart stirred him up to come unto 
the work to do it : 

3 And they received of Moses all 
the offering which the children of 
Israel '^had brought for the work of 
the serv ice of the sanctuary, to make 
it withal. And they brought yet unto 
him free-offerings ever}' morning. 

4 And all the wise men, that wrought 
all the work of the sanctuary, came 
every man from his work which they 
made ; 

5 ^ And they spake unto Moses, 
saying, ^ The people bring much more 
than enough for the service of the 
work which the Lord commanded 
to make. 

6 And Moses gave commandment, 
and they caused it to be proclaimed 
throughout the camp, saying. Let 
neither man nor woman make any 
more work for the offering of the 
sanctuar}'. So the people were re- 
strained from bringing. 

7 For the stuff' they had was suffi- 
cient for all the work to make it, and 
too much. 

8 H ^And every wise-hearted man 
among them that wrought the work 
of the tabernacle made ten curtains 
of fine twined linen, and blue, and 
purple, and scarlet: with cherubims 
of cunning work made he them. 

9 The length of one curtain was 
twenty and eight cubits, and the 
breadth of one curtain four cubits: 
the curtains were all of one size. 

10 And he coupled the five curtains 
one unto another: and the other five 
curtains he coupled one unto another, 

1 1 And he made loops of blue on 
the edge of one curtain from the 
selvedge in the coupling: likewise 
he made in the uttermost side of 
another curtain, in the coupling of 
the second. 

12 gpifty loops made he in one 
curtain, and fifty loops made he in 
the edge of the curtain which was in 
the coupling of the second : the loops 
held one curtain to another. 

103 



Tlie curtains and hoards, 

13 And he made fifty taches of gold, 
and coupled the curtains one unto 
another with the taches. So it be- 
came one tabernacle. 

14 H hAnd he made curtains of 
goats' Aafr for the tent over the taber- 
nacle: elevencurtains he made them. 

15 The length of one curtain was 
thirty cubits, and four cubits was the 
breadth of one curtain : the eleven 
curtains were of one size. 

16 And he coupled five curtains by 
themselves, and six curtains by them- 
selves. 

17 And he made fifty loops upon 
the uttermost edge of the curtain in 
the coupling, and fifty loops made he 
upon the edge of the curtain which 
coupleth the second ; 

18 And he made fifty taches of 
brass to couple the tent together, 
that it might be one. 

19 'And he made a covering for the 
tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a 
covering of badgers' skins above 
that. 

20 T[ k And he made boards for the 
tabernacle o/shittim-wood, standing 
up. 

21 The length of a board was ten 
cubits, and the breadth of a board 
one cubit and a half. 

22 One board had two tenons, 
equally distant one from another : 
thus did he make for all the boards 
of the tabernacle. 

23 And he made boards for the 
tabernacle; twenty boards for the 
south side southward : 

24 And forty sockets of silver he 
made under the twenty boards ; two 
sockets under one board for his two 
tenons, and two sockets under ano- 
ther board for his two tenons. 

25 And for the other side of the 
tabernacle which is toward the north 
corner, he made twenty boards, 

26 And their forty sockets of silver ; 
two sockets under one board, and two 
sockets under another board. 

27 And for the sides of the taber- 
nacle westward he made six boards. 

28 And two boards made he for 
the comers of the tabernacle in the 
two sides. 

29 And they were f coupled be- 
neath, and coupled together at the 
head thereof, to one ring : thus he did

gold, and made their rings of gold 
to be places for the bars, and overlaid 
the bars with gold.

purple, and scarlet, and twined linen. 

25 And they made ^bells of pure 
gold, and put the bells between the 
pomegranates upon the hem of the 
robe, round about between the pome- 
granates ; 

26 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell 
and a pomegranate, round about the 
hem of the robe to minister in; as 
the Lord commanded Moses. 

27 TI 'And they made coats of fine 
linen, of woven work, for Aaron and 
for his sons,

goodly bonnets of fine linen, and 
"linen breeches of fine twined linen, 

29 °And a girdle of fine twined

first month, in the second year, on 
the first day of the month,'///a^ the 
''tabernacle was reared up. 

18 And Moses reared up the taber-

pillars. 

19 And he spread abroad the tent 
over the tabernacle, and put the co-

the Lord commanded Moses. 

•20 II And he took and put I'the 
testimony into the ark, and set the

11 qAnd that ye may teach the 
children of Israel all the statutes 
which the Lord hath spoken unto 
them by the hand of Moses. 

12 TI And Moses spake unto Aaron, 
and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, 
his sons that were left. Take ""the 
meat-offering that remaineth of the 
offerings of the Lord made by fire, 
and eat it without leaven beside the 
altar: for « it is most holy: 

13 And ye shall eat it in the holy 
place, because it is thy due, and thy 
sons' due, of the sacrifices of the 
Lord made by fire : for ^so I am 
commanded. 

14 And "the wave-breast and heave- 
shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place ; 
thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters 
with thee : for they be thy due, and 
thy sons' due, which are given out of 
the sacrifices of peace-offerings of 
the children of Israel. 

15 -^The heave-shoulder and the 
wave-breast shall they bring, with the 
offerings made by fire of the fat, to 
wave it for a wave-offeringbefore the 
Lord ; and it shall be thine, and thy 
sons' with thee, by a statute for ever ; 
as the Lord hath commanded. 

16 TI And Moses diligently sought 
ythe goat of the sin-offering, and be- 
hold, it was burnt : and he was angry 
with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of 
Aaron which were left alive, saying, 

17 ^Wherefore have ye not eaten 
the sin-offering in the holy place, 
seeing it is most holy, and God hath 
given it you to bear the iniquity of 
the congregation, to make atonement 
for them before the Lord? 

18 Behold, ^^the blood of it was not 
brought in within the holy place: ye 
should indeed have eaten it in the 
holy place, ''as I commanded. 

19 And Aaron said unto Moses, 
Behold, cthis day have they offered 
their sin-oflfering, and their burnt-of- 
fering before the Lord; and such 
things have befallen me : and if I 
had eaten the sin-offering to-day, 
''should it have been accepted in the 
sight of the I^ord?

4 Nevertheless, these shall ye not

camel, because he cheweth the cud,

5 And the coney, because he chew- 
eth the cud, but divideth not the 
hoof ; he is unclean unto you. 

6 And the hare, because he chew-

8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, 
and their carcass shall ye not touch;

10 And all that have not fins and 
scales in the seas, and in the rivers, 
of all that move in the waters, and 
of any living thing which is in the 
waters, they shall be an '"abomina-

11 They shall be even an abomina-

their flesh, but ye shall have their 
carcasses in abomination. 

12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor 
scales in the waters, that shall be an

shall have in abomination among the

be in sight deeper than the skin : it 
is a leprosy broken out of the burn- 
ing: wherefore the priest shall pro- 
nounce him unclean : it is the plague 
of leprosy. 

26 But if the priest look on it, and 
behold, there be no white hair in the 
bright spot, and it be no lower than 
the other skin, but be somewhat dark ; 
then the priest shall shut him up 
seven days: 

27 And the priest shall look upon 
him the seventh day : and if it be 
spread much abroad in the skin, then 
the priest shall pronounce him un- 
clean : it is the plague of leprosy. 

28 And if the bright spot stay in 
his place, and spread not in the skin, 
but it be somewhat dark ; it is a 
rising of the burning, and the priest 
shall pronounce him clean : for it is 
an inflammation of the burning. 

29 T[ If a man or woman have a 
plague upon the head or the beard; 

30 Then the priest shall see the 
plague : and behold, if it be in sight 
deeper than the skin , and there be in 
it a yellow thin hair; then the priest 
shall pronounce him unclean: it is 
a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the 
head or beard. 

31 And if the priest look on the 
plague of the scall, and behold, it 
be not in sight deeper than the skin, 
and that there is no black hair in it ; 
then the priest shall shut up him 
that hath the plague of the scall 
seven days:

there be in it no yellow hair, and 
the scall be not in sight deeper than

33 He shall be shaven, but the scall 
shall he not shave ; and the priest 
shall shut up him that hath the scall 
seven days more: 

34 And in the seventh day the priest 
shall look on the scall : and behold, 
if the scall be not spread in the skin, 
nor be in sight deeper than the skin ; 
then the priest shall pronounce him 
clean : and he shall wash his clothes, 
and be clean. 

35 But if the scall spread much in 
the skin after his cleansing ; 

36 Then the priest shall look on 
him: and behold, if the scall be 
spread in the skin, the priest shall 
not seek for yellow hair; he is un- 
clean. 

37 But if the scall be in his sight 
at a stay, and that there is black hair 
grown up therein ; the scall is heal- 
ed, he is clean : and the priest shall 
pronounce him clean. 

38 TI If a man also or a woman 
have in the skin of their flesh bright 
spots, even white bright spots ; 

39 Then the priest shall look: and 
behold, if the bright spots in the skin 
of their flesh be darkish white ; it is 
a freckled spot that groweth in the 
skin; he is clean. 

40 And the man M'hose f hair is 
fallen off" his head, he is bald ; yet is 
he clean. 

41 And he that hath his hair fallen 
off" from the part of his head toward 
his face, he is forehead-bald ; yet is 
he clean. 

42 And if there be in the bald head, 
or bald foi'ehead, a white reddish 
sore ; it is a leprosy sprung up in his 
bald head, or his bald forehead. 

43 Then the priest shall look upon 
it: and behold, if the rising of the 
sore be white reddish in his bald head, 
or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy 
appeareth in the skin of the flesh ; 

44 He is a leprous man, he is un- 
clean : the priest shall pronounce 
him utterly unclean ; his plague is in 
his head. 

45 And the leper in whom the 
plague is, his clothes shall be rent, 
and his head bare, and he shall *"put 

124 



to discern leprosy. 

a covering upon his upper lip, and 
shall cry, g Unclean, unclean. 

46 All the days wherein the plague 
shall be in him he shall be defiled ; 
he is unclean : he shall dwell alone, 
''without the camp shall his habita- 
tion he. 

47 T[ The garment also that the 
plague of leprosy is in, whether it 
be a woollen garment, or a linen 
garment ; 

48 Whether it he in the warp, or 
woof, of linen, or of woollen : whe- 
ther in a skin, or in any f thing 
made of skin : 

49 And if the plague be greenish 
or reddish in the garment, or in the 
skin, either in the warp, or in the 
woof, or in any f thing of skin ; it 
is a plague of leprosy, and shall be 
shewed unto the priest : 

50 And the priest shall look upon 
the plague, and shut up it that hath 
the plague seven days: 

51 And he shall look on the plague 
on the seventh day : if the plague be 
spread in the garment, either in the 
warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or 
in any work that is made of skin ; 
the plague is 'a fretting leprosy ; it 
is unclean. 

52 He shall therefore burn that gar- 
ment, whether warp or woof in wool- 
len or in linen, or any thing of skin, 
wherein the plague is : for it is a 
fretting leprosy ; it shall be burnt in 
the fire. 

53 And if the priest shall look, and 
behold, the plague be not spread in 
the garment, either in the warp or 
in the woof, or in any thing of 
skin ; 

54 Then the priest shall command 
that they wash the thing \\\\Gre\n the 
plague is, and he shall shut it up 
seven days more : 

55 And the priest shall look on 
the plague after that it is washed : 
and behold, if the plague have not 
changed his colour, and the plague 
be not spread; it is unclean; thou 
shalt burn it in the fire ; it is fret 
inward, f whether it he bare within 
or without. 

56 And if the priest look, and be- 
hold, the plague he somewhat dark 
after the washing of it ; then he shall 
rend it out of the garment, or out of

AND the Loud spake unto Mo-

2 This shall be the law of the leper 
in the day of his cleansing : He "shall 
be brought unto the priest: 

3 And the priest shall go forth out 
of the camp : and the priest shall 
look, and behold, if the plague of 
leprosy be healed in the leper ; 

4 Then shall the priest command to 
take for him that is to be cleansed 
two II birds alive and clean, and t>ce- 
dar-wood, and "^scarlet, and "^ hyssop. 

5 And the priest shall command 
that one of the birds be killed in an 
earthen vessel, over running water. 

6 As for the living bird, he shall 
take it, and the cedar-wood, and the 
scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip 
them, and the living bird, in tiie blood 
of the bird that was killed over the 
running water. 

7 And he shall ''sprinkle upon him 
that is to be cleansed from the lepro- 
sy ^seven times, and shall pronounce 
him clean, and shall let the living 
bird loose f into the open field. 

8 And he that is to be cleansed 
? shall wash his clothes, and shave oflf 
all his hair, iiand wash himself in 
water, that he may be clean : and af- 
ter that he shall come into the camp, 
and 'shall tarry abroad out of his tent 
seven days. 

9 But it shall be on the seventh 
day, that he shall shave all his hair 
off his head, and his beard, and his 

125 



Riles and sacrifices 

eye-brows, even all his hair he shall 
shave oft"; and he shall wash his 
clothes, also he shall wash his flesh 
in water, and he shall be clean. 

10 And on the eigiith day "^he shall 
take two he-lambs without blemish, 
and one ewe-lamb f of the first year 
without blemish, and three tenth- 
deals of fine flour for 'a meat-otFer- 
ing, mingled with oil, and one log 
of oil. 

1 1 And the priest that maketh him 
clean, shall present the man that is to 
be made clean, and those things, be- 
fore the Lord, at the door of the ta- 
bernacle of the congregation. 

12 And the priest shall take one 
he-lamb, and '"offer him for a tres- 
pass-offering, and the log of oil, and 
"wave them/or a wave-offering be- 
fore the LoKD. 

13 And he shall slay the lamb "in 
the place where he shall kill the sin- 
offering and the burnt-offering, in 
the holy place: for Pas the sin-offer- 
ing is the priest's, so is the trespass- 
offering : 'i it is most holy. 

14 And the priest shall take so?ne 
of the blood of the trespass-offering, 
and the priest shall put it 'upon the 
tip of the right ear of him that is to 
be cleansed, and upon the thumb of 
his right hand, and upon the great

15 And the priest shall take some

16 And the priest shall dip his 
right finger in the oil that is in his

for a possession, and I put the plague 
of leprosy in a house of the land of

37 And he shall look on the plague,

the seventh day, and shall look ; and 
behold, if\\\G plague be spread in the 
walls of the house ; 

40 Then the priest shall command 
that they take away the stones in 
which ihe plague is, anfl they shall

45 And he shall bi-eak down the 
house, the stones of it, and the tim-

house: and he shall carry tliem forth 
out of the city into an unclean place. 

46 Moreover, he that goeth into the 
house all the while that it is shut up, 
shall be unclean until the even. 

47 And he that lieth in the house 
shall wash his clothes: and he that 
eateth in the house shall wash his

48 And if the priest f shall come 
in, and look ujjon it, and behold, 
the plague hath not spread in the 
house, after the house was plastered: 
then the priest shall pronounce the 
house clean, because the plague is 
healed. 

49 And ''he shall take to cleanse 
the house two birds, and cedaj-wood, 
and scarlet, and hyssop: 

50 And he shall kill the one of the 
birds in an earthen vessel, over run- 
ning water:

let, and the living bird, and dip them 
in the blood of the slain bird, and in

scarlet: 

53 But he shall let go the living 
bird out of the city into the open 
fields, and t'make an atonement for 
the house : and it shall be clean.

8 Thou shalt sanctify him there-

gfor I the Lord, which sanctify you, 
am holy. 

9 II 'i And the daughter of any priest,

whore, she profaneth her father: she 
shall be burnt with fire.

51 "And when the tabernacle set- 
teth forward, the Levites shall take it 
down : and when the tabernacle is to 
be pitched, the Levites shall set it up : 
"and the stranger that cometh nigh 
shall be put to death.

pitch their tents P every man by his

standard, throughout their hosts. 

53 iBut the Levites shall pitch 
round about the tabernacle of testi-

himself unto the Lord, "^ he shall come

of his God is upon his head.

AND the Lord spake unto Moses 
in the wilderness of Sinai, in the 
first month of the second year after 
they were come out of the land of 
Egypt, saying, 

2 Let the children of Israel also 
keep ''the passover at his appointed 
season. 

3 In the fourteenth day of this 
month, t at even, ye shall keep it in 
his appointed season: according to 
all the rites of it, and according to 
all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye 
keep it. 

4 And Moses spake unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, that they should keep 
the passover. 

5 And ''they kept the passover on 
the fourteenth day of the first month 
at even in the wilderness of Sinai: 
according to all that the Lord com- 
manded Moses, so did the children 
of Israel. 

6 1 And there were certain men, 
who were ^defiled by the dead body 
of a man, that they could not keep 
the passover on that day : '' and they 

159 



A second passomr allowed. 

came before Moses and before Aaron 

on that day : 

7 And those men said unto him, 
We are defiled by the dead body of 
a man : wherefore are we kept back, 
that we may not otier an offering of 
the Lord in his appointed season 
among tlie children of Israel? 

8 And Moses said unto them, Stand 
still, and ^I will hear what the Lord 
will command concerning you. 

9 H And the Lord spake unto Mo- 
ses, saying, 

10 Speak unto the children of Is- 
rael, saying. If any man of you or of 
your posterity shall be unclean by 
reason of a dead body, or he in a 
journey afar oft", yet he shall keep 
the passover unto the Lord. 

11 'The fourteenth day of the se- 
cond month at even they shall keep 
it, and ^ eat it with unleavened bread 
and bitter lierhs. 

12 ''They shall leave none of it 
unto the mom ing, • nor break any bone 
of it : '^' according to all the ordinances 
of the passover they shall keep it. 

13 But the man that is clean, and 
is not in a journey, and forbeareth to 
kccpthepassover,even the same soul 
'shall be cut off" from among his peo- 
ple : because he "^ brought not the of- 
fering of the Lord in his appointed 
seasftn, that man shall "bear his sin. 

14 And if a stranger shall sojourn 
among you, and will keep the pass- 
over unto the Lord; according to 
the ordinance of the passover, and 
according to the manner thereof, so 
shall he do: °yc shall have one ordi- 
nance both for the stranger, and for 
him that was born in the land. 

15 If And Pon the day that the ta- 
bernacle was reared up, the cloud 
covered the tabernacle, namely, the 
tent of the testimony: and 'lat even 
there was upon the tabernacle as it 
were the appearance of fire, until the 
morning. 

IG So it was always: the cloud co- 
vered it hy day, and the appearance 
of fire by night. 

17 Ancl when the cloud ""was taken 
up from the tabernacle, then after 
that the children of Israel journeyed : 
and in the place where the cloud 
abode, there the children of Israel 
pitched their tents.

the cloud abode upon the tabernacle

was a few days upon the tabernacle ; 
according to the commandment of

and according to the commandment 
of the Lord they journeyed. 

21 And so it was, when the cloud 
f abode from even unto the morning, 
and that the cloud was taken up in 
the morning, then they journeyed: 
whether it was by day or by night 
that the cloud was taken up, they 
journeyed. 

22 Or whether it were two days, or 
a month, or a year, that the cloud 
tarried upon the tabernacle, remain- 
ing thereon, the children of Israel 
"abode in their tents, and journeyed 
not : but when it was taken up, they 
journeyed. 

23 At the commandment of the 
Lord they rested in their tents, and 
at the commandment of the Lord 
theyjourneyed: they *kept the charge 
of the Lord, at the commandment of 
the Lord by the hand of Moses.

weep throughout their families, every 
man in the door of his tent : and "the 
anger of the Lord was kindled great- 
ly ; Moses also was displeased. 

1 1 ° And Moses said unto the Lord, 
Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy ser- 
vant? and wherefore have I not found 
favour in thy sight, that thou layest 
the burden of all this people upon 
me ? 

12 Have I conceived all this peo- 
ple ? have I begotten them, that thou 
shouldest say unto me, P Carry them 
in thy bosom, as a i nursing- father 
beareth the sucking child, unto the 
land which thou ""swarest unto their 
fathers ? 

13 s Whence should I have flesh to 
give unto all this people 1 for they 
weep unto me, saying. Give us flesh, 
that we may eat. 

14 'I am not able to bear all this 
people alone, because it is too heavy 
for me. 

15 And if thou deal thus with me, 
"kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if 
I have found favour in thy sight ; and 
let me not -'^see my wretchedness.

ses, Gather unto me y seventy men of 
the elders of Israel, whom thou know- 
est to be the elders of the people, and 
^oflicers over them ; and bring them 
unto the tabernacle of the congrega-

talk with thee there : and ^J will take 
of the spirit which is upon thee, and 
will put it upon them ; and they shall 
bear the burden of the people with 
thee, that thou bear it not thyself 
alone.

'^ Sanctify yourselves against to-mor-

25 And the Lord "came down in a 
cloud, and spake unto him, and took 
of the spirit that nets upon him, and 
gave it unto the seventy ciders: and 
it came to pass, that "when the spirit 
rested upon them, Pthey prophesied, 
and did not cease. 

26 But there remained two of the 
men in the camp, the name of the 
one was Eldad, and the name of the 
other Medad : and the Spirit rested

16 These a?'e the names of the men 
which Moses sent to spy out the 
land. And Moses called 'Oshea the 
son of Nun, Jehoshua. 

17 *![ And Moses sent them to spy 
out the land of Canaan, and said un- 
to them, Get you up this way s south- 
ward, and go up into 'Hhe mountain : 

18 And see the land, what it is; 
and the people that dwelleth there- 
in, whether they be strong or weak, 
few or many; 

19 And what the land is that they 
dwell in, whether it be good or bad; 
and what cities they be that they 
dwell in, whether in tents, or in 
strong holds ; 

20 And what the land is, whether it 
be 'fat or lean, whether there, be 
wood therein, or not. And ''be ye of 
good courage, and bring of the fruit 
of the land. Now the time was the 
time of the first ripe grapes. 

21 If So they went up, and search- 
ed the land 'from the wilderness of* 
Zin unto "Rehob, as men pome to 
Hamath. 

22 And they ascended by the south, 
and came unto Hebron ; where °Ahi- 
man, Sheshai, and Talmai, "the chil- 
dren of Anak, were. (Now P Hebron 
was built seven years before iZoan 
in Egypt.) 

23 ""And they came unto the || brook 
of Eshcol, and cut down from thence 
a branch with one cluster of grapes, 
and they bare it between two upon a 
staff; and they brought of the pome- 
granates, and of the figs. 

164 



Tlieir evil report of the land. 

24 The place was called the || brook 
II Eshcol, because of the cluster of 
grapes which the children of Israel 
cut down from thence. 

25 And they returned from search- 
ing of the land after forty days. 

20 ■[[ And they went and came to 
Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the 
congreeation of the children of Is- 
rael, ^unto the wilderness of Paran, 
to'Kadesh; and brought back word 
unto them, and unto all the congre- 
gation, and sherwed them the fruit of 
the land. 

27 And they told him, and said, 
Wc came unto the land whither thou 
sentest us, and surely it Howeth with 
"milk and honey; *and this is the 
fruit of it. 

28 Nevertheless, ytlie people he 
strong that dwell in the land, and 
the cities are walled, and very great : 
and moreover, we saw ^the children 
of Anak there. 

29 -iTIio Amalekites dwell in the 
land of the south: and the Ilittites, 
and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, 
dwell in the mountains; and the Ca- 
naanites dwell by the sea, and by the 
coast of Jordan. 

30 And ''Caleb stilled the people 
before Moses, and said, Let us go up 
at once, and possess it; for we are 
well able to overcome it. 

31 f^But the men that went up with 
him said. We be not able to go up 
against the people; for they are 
stronger than we. 

32 And they ^^ brought up an evil 
report of the land which they had 
searched unto the children of Israel, 
saying. The land through which we 
have gone to search it, is a land that 
eateth up the inhabitants thereof; 
and <^all the people that we saw in 
it are f men of a great stature. 

33 And there wc saw the giants, 
fthe sons of Anak, which come of the 
giants : and we were in our own sight 
?as grasshoppers, and so we were ''in 
their sight.

against me? I'l have heard the mur-

39 And Moses told these sayings 
unto all the children of Israel: 'and 
the people mourned greatly. 

40 If And they rose up early in the 
morning, and gat them up into the 
top of the mountain, saying, Lo, 
">we be here, and will go up unto 
the place which the Lord hath pro- 
mised : for we have sinned. 

41 And Moses said, Wherefore now 
do ye transgress "the commandment 
of the Lord? but it shall not pros- 
per. 

42 °Go not up, for the Lord ?snot 
among you ; that ye be not smitten 
before your enemies. 

43 For the Amalekites and the Ca- 
naanites arc there before you, and ye 
shall fall by the sword : P because ye 
are turned away from the Lord, 
therefore the Lord will not be with 
you. 

44 iBut they presumed to go up 
unto the hill-top : nevertheless tiie

and Moses, departed not out of the

"Be thou and ail thy company ^be-

incense thereon, and stood in the

not done them ''of mine own mind.

death of all men, or if theybe <=visited

were made broad plates for a cover-

40 To he a memorial unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, Pthat no stranger, 
which is not of the seed of Aaron, 
come near to offer incense before 
the Lord; that he be not as Koi'ah, 
and as his company: as the Lord 
said to him by the hand of Moses. 

41 IF But on the morrow qal) the 
congregation of the children of Is- 
rael murmured against Moses and 
against Aaron, saying. Ye have killed 
the people of the Lord. 

42 And it came to pass when the 
congregation was gathered against 
Moses and against Aaron, that they 
looked toward the tabemacle of the 
congregation: and behold, >■ the cloud 
covered it,andnhe gioryof the Lord 
appeared. 

43 And Moses and Aaron came 
before the tabernacle of the congre- 
gation. 

44 IT And the Lord spake unto Mo- 
ses, saying, 

45 ^Get you up from among this 
congregation, that I may consume 
them as in a moment. And "they 
fell upon their faces. 

46 II And Moses said unto Aaron, 
Take a censer, and put fire therein 
from off the altar, and put on incen.se, 
and go quickly unto the congregation, 
and make an atonement for them : 
''■for there is wrath gone out from the 
Lord; the plague is begun. 

47 And Aaron took as Moses com- 
manded, and ran into the midst of 
the congregation ; and behold, the 
plague was begun among the people : 
and he put on incense, and made an 
atonement for the people. 

48 And he stood between the dead 
and the living; and the plague was 
stayed. 

49 Now they that died in the plague 
were fourteen thousand and seven 
hundred, besides them that died about 
the matter of Korah. 

50 And Aaron returned unto Mo- 
ses unto the door of the tabernacle 
of the congregation : and the plague 
was stayed.

saying, 

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, 
and take of every one of them a rod 
according to the house of their fa- 
thers, of all their princes according 
to the house of their fathers, twelve 
rods : write thou every man's name 
upon his rod. 

3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name 
upon the rod of I.evi : for one rod 
shall he for the head of the house of 
their fathers. 

4 And thou shalt lay them up in 
the tabernacle of the congregation 
before the testimony, ^where I will 
meet with you. 

5 And it shall come to pass, tJiat 
the man's rod "^whom I shall choose 'b cii. ig.s

cease from me tlie ujurmurings of 
the children of Israel, ^whereby they 
murmur against you. 

G TI And Moses spake unto the 
children of Israel, and every one of 
their princes gave him f a rod apiece, 
foreach prince one, according to their 
fathers'houses,ei'e;itwelve rods: and 
the rod of Aaron was amontr their 
rods. 

7 And Moses laid up the rods bo- 
fore the Lord in ''the tabernacle of

8 And it came to pass, that on the 
morrow Moses went into the taber- 
nacle of witness ; and behold, the 
rod of Aaron for the house of Levi 
was budded, and brought forth buds, 
and bloomed Ijlossoms, and yielded 
almonds. 

9 And Moses brought out all the 
rods from before the Lord unto all 
the children of Israel: and they 
looked, and took every man his 
rod. 

10 *II And the Lord said unto Mo- 
ses, Bring ''Aaron's rod again before 
the testimony, to be kept ' for a token 
against the f rebels; sand thou shalt 
quite take away their munnurings 
from me, that they die not.

17 a Let us pass, I pray thee, through 
thy country: we will not pass through 
the fields, or thi'ough the vineyards, 
neither will we drink of the water of 
the wells : we will go by the king's 
high-way, we will not turn to the 
right hand nor to the left, until we 
have passed thy borders. 

18 And Edom said unto him, Thou 
shalt not pass by me, lest I come out 
against thee with the sword. 

19 And the children of Israel said 
unto him. We will go by the high- 
way: and if I and my cattle drink of

The people plagued wWi fiery serpents. 

3 And the Lord hearkened to the 
voice of Israel, and delivered up the 
Canaanites ; and they utterly destroy- 
ed them and their cities: and he call- 
ed the name of the place || Hormah. 

4 "[[And "^they journeyed from 
mount Hor by the way of the Red 
sea, to f compass the land of Edom : 
and the soul of the people was much 
II t discouraged because of the way. 

5 And the people ? spake against 
God, and against Moses, ^ Wherefore 
have ye brought us up out of Egj'pt 
to die in the wilderness .' for there is 
no bread, neither is thei-e any water ; 
and 'our soul loatheth this light 
bread. 

6 And i^the Lord sent 'fiery ser- 
pents among the people, and they 
bit the people ; and much people of 
Israel died. 

7 H ""Therefore the people came to 
Moses, and said, We have sinned, 
for °we have spoken against the 
Lord, and against thee ; "pray un- 
to the Lord, that he take away the 
serpents from us. And Moses pray- 
ed for the people. 

8 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
Make thee a fieiy serpent, and set it 
upon a pole : and it shall come to 
pass, that every one that is bitten, 
when he looketh upon it, shall live. 

9 And P Moses made a serpent of 
brass, and put it upon a pole, and it 
came to pass, that if a serpent had 
bitten any man, when he beheld the 
serpent of brass, he lived. 

10 TI And the children of Israel set 
forward, and 'i pitched in Oboth.

unto Balaam the son of Beor to fPe-

of the children of his people, to call 
him, saying, Behold, there is a people 
come out from Egypt : behold, they 
cover the f face of the earth, and they 
abide over against me: 

6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, 
g Curse me this people ; for they are

shall prevail, that we may smite them, 
and that I may drive them out of the 
land : for I wot that he whom thou 
blessest is blessed, and he whom thou 
cursest is cursed. 

7 And the elders of Moab and the 
elders of Midian departed with ''the 
rewards of divination in their hand ; 
and they came unto Balaam, and 
spake unto him the words of Balak. 

8 And he said unto them, 'Lodge 
here this night, and I will bring you 
word again, as the Lottn shall speak 
unto me: and the princes of Moab 
abode with Balaam. 

i) i^And God came unto Balaam, 
and said, What men are these with 
thee? 

10 And Balaam said unto God, Ba 
lak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, 
hath sent unto me, saying, 

11 Behold, there is a people come 
out of Egypt, which covereth the 
face of the earth: come now, curse 
me them; peradventure f I shall be 
able to overcome them, and drive 
them out. 

12 And God said unto Balaam. 
Thou shait not go with them; thou 
shalt not curse the people: for 'they 
arc blessed.

morning, and said unto the princes 
of Balak, Get you into your land:

whatsoever thou sayest unto me: 
"^come therefore, I pray thee, curse

1 8 And Balaam answered and said 
unto the servants of Balak, "If Ba- 
lak would give me his house full of 
silver and gold, °I cannot go beyond 
the word of the Lord my God, to do 
less or more. 

1 9 Now therefore, I pray you. P tarry 
ye also here this night, that I may

20 q And God came unto Balaam at 
night, and said unto him. If the men 
come to call thee, rise up, aiid go 
with them: but ""yet the word which 
I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou 
do. 

21 And Balaam rose up in the 
morning, and saddled his ass, and 
went with the princes of Moab. 

22 TI And God's anger was kindled 
because he went: ^and the angel of 
the Lord stood in the way for an 
adversary against him. Now he 
was riding upon his ass, and his two 
servants iccre with him. 

23 And 'the ass saw the angel of 
the Lord standing in the way, and 
his sword drawn in his hand: and 
the ass turned aside out of the way, 
and went into the field : and Balaam 
smote the ass, to turn her into the 
way. 

24 But the angel of the Lord stood 
in a path of the vineyards, a wall 
being on this side, and a wall on that 
side. 

25 And when the ass saw the angel 
of the Lord, she thrust herself unto 
the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot 
against the wall: and he smote her 
again. 

20 And the angel of the Lord went 
further, and stood in a narrow place, 
where teas no way to turn either to 
the right hand or to the left. 

27 And when the ass saw the angel 
of the Lord, she fell down under Ba- 
laam: and Balaam's anger was kin- 
dled, and he smote theasswith a staff. 

28 And the Lord "opened the 
mouth of the ass, and she said unto 
Balaam, What have I done unto thee, 
that thou hast smitten me these three 
times? 

177 



H 



Balak goeth to meet Balaam. 

29 And Balaam said unto the ass, 
Because thou hast mocked me: I 
would there were a sword in my 
hand, -"^for now would I kill thee. 

30 y And the ass said unto Balaam, 
Am not I thine ass, f upon which 
thou hast ridden || ever since / was 
thine unto this day? was I ever wont 
to do so unto thee? And he said, 
Nay. 

31 Then the Lord ^opened the 
eyes of Balaam, and he saw the an- 
gel of the Lord standing in the way, 
and his sword drawn in his hand: 
and he ^bowed down his head, and 
II fell flat on his face. 

32 And the angel of the Lord said 
unto him. Wherefore hast thou smit- 
ten thine ass these three times? be- 
nold, I went out f to withstand thee, 
because thy way is ''perverse before 
me: 

33 And the ass saw me, and turned 
from me these three times: unless 
she had turned from me, surely now 
also I had slain thee, and saved her 
alive. 

34 And Balaam said unto the an- 
gel of the Lord, ^I have sinned ; for 
I knew not that thou stoodest in the 
way against me : now therefore, if it 
t displease thee, I will get me back 
again. 

35 And the angel of the Lord said 
unto Balaam, Go with the men : '' but 
only the word that I shall speak unto 
thee, that thou shalt speak : so Ba- 
laam went with the princes of Balak. 

36 1 And when Balak heard that 
Balaam was come, <:he went out to 
meet him unto a city of Moab,''which 
is in the border of Arnon, which is in 
the utmost coast. 

37 And Balak said unto Balaam, 
Did I not earnestly send unto thee to 
call thee? wherefore camest thou not 
unto me? am I not able indeed eto 
promote thee to honour? 

38 And Balaam said unto Balak, 
Lo, I am come unto thee : have I now 
any power at all to say any thing? 
••the word that God putteth in my 
mouth, that shall I speak. 

39 And Balaam went with Balak, 
and they came unto || Kirjath-huzoth. 

40 And Balak offered oxen and 
sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to 
the princes that were with liim.

Balaam's first parable. 

41 And it came to pass on the mor- 
row, that Balak took Balaam, and 
brought him up into the • high places 
of Baal, that thence he might see the 
utmost part of the people.

1, 13, 28 Balak'' s sacrifice. 7, 18 Balaam^ sparable. 

AND Balaam said unto Balak, 
a Build me here seven altars, 
and prepare me here seven oxen 
and seven rams. 

2 And Balak did as Balaam had 
spoken; and Balak and Balaam ^ of- 
fered on every altar a bullock and a 
ram. 

3 And Balaam said unto Balak, 
c Stand by thy burnt-offering, and I 
will go : peradventure the Lord will 
come ''to meet me : and whatsoever 
he sheweth me I will tell thee. And 
II he went to a high place. 

4 "And God met Balaam: and he 
said unto him, I have prepared seven 
altars, and I have offered upon every 
altar a bullock and a ram. 

5 And the Lord 'put a word in Ba- 
laam's mouth, and said. Return unto 
Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. 

6 And he returned unto him, and 
lo, he stood by his burnt-sacrifice, 
he, and all the princes of Moab. 

7 And he g:took up his parable, and 
said, Balak the king of Moab hath 
brought me from Aram, out of the 
mountains ofthe east, 5a?/m^,h Come, 
curse me, Jacob, and come, 'defy Is- 
rael. 

8 I'How shall I curse, whom God 
hath not cursed ? or how shall I defy, 
whom the Lord hath not defied? 

9 For from the top of the rocks I 
see him, and from the hills I behold 
him: lo, 'the people shall dwell alone, 
and '"shall not be reckoned among 
the nations. 

10 "Who can count the dust of Ja- 
cob, and the number of the fourth 
part of Israel? Let f me die °the 
death of the righteous, and let my 
last end be like his ! 

11 And Balak said unto Balaam, 
What hast thou done unto me? I'l 
took thee to curse mine enemies, 
and behold, thou hast blessed them 
altogether. 

1 2 And he answered and said, q Must 
I not take heed to speak that which 
the Lord hath put in my mouth?

His second parable. 

13 And Balak said unto him, Come, 

I pray thee, with me unto another 
place, from whence thou mayest see 
them : thou shah see but the utmost 
part of them, and shalt not see them 
all: and curse me them from thence. 

14 Tf And he brought him into the 
field of Zophim, to the top of || Pis- 
gah, 'and built seven altars, and of- 
fered a bullock and a ram on every 
altar. 

15 And he said unto Balak, Stand 
here by thy burnt-offering, while I 
meet the LORD yonder. 

16 And the Lord met Balaam, and 
8put a word in his mouth, and said, "."'^^.'og 
Go again unto Balak, and say thus. 

17 And when he came to him, be- 
hold, he stood by his burnt-oflering, 
and the princes of Moab with him. 
And Balak said unto him, What hath 
the Loud spoken? 

18 And he took up his parable, and 
said, 'Rise up, Balak, and hear; 
liearken unto me, thou son of Zip- 
por : 

19 "God is not a man, that he|uisam.i5 
should lie ; neither the son of man,' Mil. 3.6.^ 
that he should repent: hath he said,ij.nniesi.'i7' 
and shall he not do it f or hath he 
spoken, and shall he not make it 
good ? 

20 Behold, I have received com- 
mandment to bless: and "he hath 
blessed, and I cannot reverse it. 

21 >'lle hath not beheld iniquity in 
Jacob, neither hath he seen pcrverse- 
ness in Israel: ^thc Loud his God is 
with him, "and the shout of a king 
is among them. 

22 '' God brought them out of Egypt ; 
he hath as it were <^thc strength of 
a unicorn. 

23 Surely there is no enchantment 

II against Jacob, neither is there any 
divination against Israel : according 
to this time it shall be said of Ja- 
cob and of Israel, "iWhat hath God 
wrought ! 

24 Behold, the people shall rise up 
' as a great lion, and lift up himself 
as a young lion: 'he shall not lie 
down until he eat of the prey, and 
drink the blood of the slain.

Neither curse them at all, nor bless 
them at all.

''Build me here seven altars, and pre- 
pare me here seven bullocks and 
seven rams.

ram on eveiy altar. 

CHAP. XXIV. 

1 Balaam, leaving divinations, prophesieth tlie 
happiness of Israel. 10 Balak in an^er dis- 
mtsseth him. \i) He prophesieth of the tilar of 
Jacob, and the destruelion of some nations. 

AND when Balaam saw that it 
pleased the Lord to bless Is- 
rael, he went not, as at ^ other times, 
•j" to seek for enchantments, but he 
set his face toward the wilderness. 

2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, 
and he saw Israel "^abiding in his 
tents according to their tribes, and 
«the Spirit of God came upon him. 

3 ''And he took up his parable, and 
said, Balaam the son of Beor hath 
said, and the man f whose eyes are 
open hath said: 

4 lie hath said, which heard the 
words of God, which saw the vision 
of the Almighty, "-'falling into a 
trance, but having his eyes open: 

5 How goodly are thy tents, O 
Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Is- 
rael ! 

6 As the valleys are they spread 
forth, as gardens by the river's side, 
'"as the trees of lign-aloes swhich 
the Lord hath planted, and as cedar- 
trees beside the waters. 

7 He shall pour the water out of 
his buckets, and his seed shall be ''in 
many waters, and his king shall be 
higher than 'Agag, and his •< king- 
dom shall be exalted. 

8 'God brought him forth out of 
Egj'pt : he hath as it were the strength 
of a unicorn: he shall ■''eat up the 
nations his enemies, and shall "break 
their bones, and opiercc<Ae?7i through 
with his arrows.

Balaam^ s prophecy of tiie Starof Jacob. 

9 PHe couched, he lay down as a 
lion, and as a great lion : who shall 
stir him up? i Blessed is he that 
blesseth thee, and cursed is he that 
curseth thee. 

ion And Balak's anger was kin- 
dled against Balaam, and he ''smote 
his hands together : and Balak said 
unto Balaam, «! called thee to curse 
mine enemies, and behold, thou hast 
altogether blessed them these three 
times. 

1 1 Therefore now flee thou to thy 
place : 'I thought to promote thee 
imto great honour; but lo, the Lord 
hath kept thee back from honour. 

12 And Balaam said unto Balak, 
Spake I not also to thy messengers 
which thou sentest unto me, saying, 

13 "If Balak would give me his 
house full of silver and gold, I can- 
not go beyond the commandment of 
the Lord, to do either good or bad 
of mine own mind; hut what the 
Lord saith, that will I speak ? 

14 And now, behold, I go unto my 
people : come therefore, and ^\ will 
advertise thee what this people shall 
do to thy people yin the latter days. 

15 TI'-'And he took up his parable, 
and said, Balaam the son of Beor 
hath said, and the man whose eyes 
are open hath said : 

16 He hath said, which heard the 
words of God, and knew the know- 
ledge of the Most High, which saw 
the vision of the Almighty, falling 
into a trance, but having his eyes 
open : 

17 al shall see him, but not now: I 
shall behold him, but not nigh : there 
shall come ^ a Star out of Jacob, and 
<= a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and 
shall II smite the corners of Moab, 
and destroy all the children of Sheth. 

18 And dEdom shall be a posses- 
sion, Seir also shall be a possession 
for his enemies ; and Israel shall do 
valiantly. 

19 eOxit of Jacob shall come he 
that shall have dominion, and shall 
destroy him that remaineth of the 
city. 

20 n And when he looked on Ama- 
Ick, he took up his parable, and said, 
Amalek was ||the first of the nations, 
but his latter end || shall he that he 
perish for ever.

1 Israel at SliiUim commit whoredom and idolatry. 
6 Phinelias killeth Zimri and Cozbi. 10 God 
therefore giveth him an everlasting priesthood. 
IG 2'he Midianiles are to he vexed. 

ND Israel abode in a^Shittim, 
and ^the people began to com- 
mit whoredom with the daughters of 
Moab. 

2 And cthey called the people unto 
•^the sacrifices of their gods: and the 
people did eat, and •= bowed down to 
their gods. 

3 And Israel joined himself unto 
Baal-peor: and '"the anger of the 
Lord was kindled against Israel. 

4 And the Lord said unto Moses, 
sTake all the heads of the people, 
and hang them up before the Lord 
against the sun, i^that the fierce an- 
ger of the IjORd may be turned away 
from Israel. 

5 And Moses said unto 'the judges 
of Israel, '= Slay ye every one his men 
that were joined unto Baal-peor. 

6 \ And, behold, one of the chil- 
dren of Israel came and brought un- 
to his brethren a Midianitish woman 
in the sight of Moses, and' in the 
sight of all the congregation of the 
children of Israel, 'who were weep- 
ing heforeihe door of the tabernacle 
of the congregation. 

7 And ""when Phinehas, "^the son 
of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the 
priest, saw it, he rose up from among 
the congregation, and took a javelin 
in his hand; 

8 And he went after the man of Is- 
rael into the tent, and thrust both of 
them through, the man of Israel, and 
the woman through her belly: So 

180 



ITie sum of all Isi-ael taken 

"the plague was stayed from the 
children of Israel. 

9 And P those that died in the 
plague were twenty and four thou- 
sand. 

10 IF And the Lord spake unto Mo- 
ses, saying, 

11 'iPhinehas, the son of Eleazar, 
the son of Aaron the priest, hath 
turned my wrath away from the chil- 
dren of Israel (while he was zealous 
f for my sake among them) that I 
consumed not the children of Israel 
in ^rny jealousy. 

12 Wherefore say, "Behold, I give 
unto him my covenant of peace : 

13 And he shall have it, and 'his 
seed after him, even the covenant of 
"an everlasting priesthood ; because 
he was -''zealous for his God, and 
ymade an atonement for the children 
of Israel. 

14 Now the name of the Israelite 
that was slain, even that was slain 
with the Midianitish woman, was 
Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of 
a f chief house among the Simeon- 
ites. 

15 And the name of the Midianitish 
woman that was slain icas Cozbi the 
daughter of ^Zur; he icas head over 
a people, and of a chief house in 
Midian. 

16 H And the Lord spake unto Mo- 
ses, saying, 

17 ''Vex the Midianites and smite 
them: 

18 For they vex vou with their 
•> wiles, wherewith they have beguiled 
you in the matter of Poor, and in the 
matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a 
prince of Midian, their sister, which 
was slain in the day of the plague for 
Poor's sake.

7 Tiie daughters of Zelophehad 
speak right : 'thou shalt surely give 
them a possession of an inheritance 
among their father's brethren ; and 
thou shalt cause the inheritance of 
their father to pass unto them.

children of Israel, saying. If a man 
die, and have no son, then ye shall 
cause his inheritance to pass unto his 
daughter. 

9 And if he have no daughter, then 
ye shall give his inheritance unto his 
brethren. 

10 And if he have no brethren, then 
ye shall give his inheritance unto his

ance unto his kinsman that is next to 
him of his family, and he shall pos- 
sess it : and it shall be unto the chil- 
dren of Israel ff a statute of judgment, 
as the Lord commanded Moses.

ses, ''Get thee up into this mount 
Abarim, and see the land which I 
have given unto the children of Is- 
rael. 

13 And when thou hast seen it, thou 
also 'shalt be gathered unto thy peo- 
ple, as Aaron thy brother was ga- 
thered.

mandment in the desert of Zin, in 
the strife of the congregation, to 
sanctify me at the water before their 
eyes : that is the 'water of Meribah 
in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.

17 "Which may go out before them,

a thousand of ever-y tribe, them and 
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the

over thousands, and captains over 
hundreds, which came from the 
t battle.

Thei/ conquer it. 

NOW the children of Reuben and 
the children of Gad had a very 
great multitude of cattle : and when 
they saw the land of » Jaazer,and the 
land of Gilead, that behold, the place 
was a place for cattle ; 

2 The children of Gad and the chil- 
dren of Reuben came and spake unto 
Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and 
unto the princes of the congregation, 
saying, 

3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jaazer, 
and •'Nimrah, and Heshbon, and 
Elealeh, and cShebam, and Nebo, 
and (iBeon, 

4 Even the country ^ which the 
Lord smote before the congregation 
of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy 
servants have cattle: 

5 Wherefore, said they, if we have 
found grace in thy sight, let this land 
be given unto thy servants for a 
possession, and bring us not over 
Jordan. 

6 TI And Moses said unto the chil- 
dren of Gad and to the children of 
Reuben, Shall your brethren go to 
war, and shall ye sit here ? 

7 And wherefore f discourage ye 
the heart of the children of Israel 
from going over into the land which 
the Lord hath given them ? 

8 Thus did your fathers, ^when I

lowed me: 

12 Save Caleb the son of Jephun- 
neh the Kenezite, and Joshua the 
son of Nun: ™for they have wholly 
followed the Lord. 

18 And the Lord's anger was kin- 
dled against Israel, and he made 
them "wander in the wilderness 
forty years, until "all the generation 
that had done evil in the sight of 
the Lord was consumed. 

14 And behold, ye are risen up m 
your fathers' stead, anincrease of sin- 
ful men, to augment yet the P fierce 
anger of the Lord toward Israel. 

15 For if ye iturn away from after 
him, he will yet again leave them in 
the wilderness ; and ye shall destroy 
all this people. 

16 TI And they came near unto him, 
and said. We will build sheep-folds 
here for our cattle, and cities for our 
little ones: 

17 But rwe ourselves will go ready 
armed before the children of Israel, 
until we have brought them unto 
their place : and our little ones shall 
dwell in the fenced cities, because of 
the inhabitants of the land. 

18 ^We will not return unto our 
houses, until the children of Israel 
have inherited every man his inhe- 
ritance. 

19 For we will not inherit with 
them on yonder side Jordan, or for- 
ward ; ^because our inheritance is 
fallen to us on this side Jordan east- 
ward. 

20 TI And "Moses said unto them, 
If ye will do this thing, if ye will go 
armed before the Lord to war, 

21 And will go all of you armed 
over Jordan before the Lord, until 
he hath driven out his enemies from 
before him, 

22 And ^the land be subdued be- 
fore the Lord: then afterward yye 
shall return, and be guiltless before 
the Lord, and before Israel; and 
^this land shall be your possession 
before the Lord. 

23 But if ye will not do so, behold, 
ye have sinned against the Lord: 
and be sure ^your sin will find you 
out. 

24 '^ Build you cities for your little 
ones, and folds for your sheep ; and 

190 



Moses assigneth them, the land. C 

do that which hath proceeded out of 
your mouth. 

25 And the children of Gad and 
the children of Reuben spake unto 
Moses, saying, Thy servants will do 
as my lord commandeth. 

26 '^Our little ones, our wives, our 
flocks, and all our cattle, shall be 
there in the cities of Gilead : 

27 '^But thy servants will pass over, 
every man armed for war, before the 
Lord to battle, as my lord saith. 

28 e^o concerning them Moses 
commanded Eleazar the priest, and 
Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief 
fathers of the tribes of the children 
of Israel: 

29 And Moses said unto them. If 
the children of Gad and tlie children 
of Reuben will pass with you over 
Jordan, every man armed to battle, 
before the Lokd, and the land shall 
be subdued before you; then ve 
shall give them the land of Gilead 
for a possession: 

30 But if they will not pass over 
with you armed, they shall have pos- 
sessions among you in the land of 
Canaan. 

31 And the children of Gad and 
the children of Reuben answered, 
saying, As the Lord hath said unto 
thy servants, so will we do. 

32 We will pass over armed before 
the Lord into the land of Canaan, 
that the possession of our inheritance 
on this side Jordan nun/ he ours. 

33 And 'Moses gave unto them, 
even to the children of Gad, and to 
the children of Reuben, and unto 
half the tribe of Manasseh, the son 
of Joseph, fe'tlic kingdom of .Silion 
king of the Amorites, and the king- 
dom of Og king of Bashan, the land, 
with the cities thereof in the coasts, 
even the cities of the country round 
about.

I'Dibon, and Atarotli, and 'Aroer, 

35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaa 
zer, and Jogbchah, 

36 And 'Beth-nimrah, and Beth

goeth before you, he shall fight for 
you, according to all that he did for 
you in Egypt before your eyes ; 

31 And in the wilderness, where 
thou hast seen how that the Lord 
thy God 'bare thee, as a man doth 
bear his son, in all the way that ye 
went, until ye came into this place. 

32 Yet in this thing "^ye did not 
believe the Lord your God, 

33 'Who went in the way before 
you, "'to search you out a place to 
pitch j'our tents in, in fire by night, 
to shew you by what way ye should 
go, and in a cloud by day. 

34 And the Lord heard the voice

sware, saying,

these men of this evil generation see 
that good land, which I sware to 
give unto your fathers, 

36 P Save Caleb the son of Jephun- 
neh ; he shall see it, and to him will 
I give the land that he hath trodden 
upon, and to his children, because qhe 
hath f wholly followed the Lord. 

37 ""Also the Lord w as angrj' with

also shalt not go in thither. 

38 ^But Joshua the son of Nun, 
'which standeth before thee, he shall 
go in thither. "Encourage him: for 
he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

in that mountain, came out against 
you, and chased you, ^as bees do, 
and destroyed you in Seir, even unto

THEN we turned, and took our

the Lord thy God hath been with 
thee: thou hast lacked nothing. 

8 ^And when we passed by from our 
bretlu'en the children of Esau, which 
dwelt in Seir, through the way of the 
plain from sElath, and from Ezion- 
gaber, we turned and passed by the 
way of the wilderness of Moab. 

9 And the Lord said unto me, 
II Distress not the Moabites, neither 
contend with them in battle: for I 
will not give thee of their land for 
a possession ; because I have given 
''Ar unto 'the children of Lot /or a 
possession. 

10 C^^The Emims dwelt therein in 
times past, a people great, and many, 
and tall as 'the Anakims; 

11 ^^Hiich also were accounted 
giants, as the Anakims; but the 
Moabites call them Emims. 

12 ™The Horims also dwelt in Seir 
before-time, but the children of Esau 
f succeeded them, when they had 
destroyed them from before them, 
and dwelt in their || stead ; as Israel 
did unto the land of his possession, 
which the Lord gave unto them.) 

1 3 Now rise up, said I, and get you 
over "the || brook Zered: and we 
went over the brook Zered. 

14 And the space in which we 
came °fromKadesh-barnea, until we 
were come over the brook Zered, 
7L'as thirty and eight years; P until all 
the generation of the men of war 
were wasted out from among the 
host, q as the LoRDSware unto them. 

15 For indeed the ""hand of the 
Lord was against them, to destroy 
them from among the host, until 
they were consumed. 

16 11 So it came to pass, when all 
the men of war were consumed and 
dead from among the people, 

17 That the Lord spake unto me, 
saying, 

18 Thou art to pass over tlu-ough 
Ar, the coast of Moab, this day : 

19 And when thou comest nigh 
over against the children of Ammon, 
distress them not, nor meddle with 
them : for I will not give thee of the 
land of the children of Ammon any 
possession ; because I have given it 
unto nhe children of Lot for a pos- 
session.

Sihon the Amorite subdued. 

20 (That also was accounted a land 
of giants : giants dwelt therein in old 
time; and the Ammonites call them 
tZamzummims ; 

21 "A people great, and many, and 
tall as the Anakims ; but the Lord 
destroyed them before them ; and 
they succeeded them, and dwelt in 
their stead : 

22 As he did to the children of 
Esau, ^which dwelt in Seir, when he 
destroyed > the Horims from before 
them ; and they succeeded them, and 
dwelt in their stead even unto this 
day : 

23 And ^the Avims which dwelt in 
Hazerim, even unto '^Azzah, ''the 
Caphtorims, which came forth out of 
Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt 
in their stead.) 

2411 Rise ye up, take your journey, 
and '^pass over the river Arnon : be- 
hold, I have given into thy hand 
Sihon the Amorite, kingofHeshbon, 
and his land : f begin to possess it, 
and contend w ith him in battle. 

25 '^ This day will I begin to put 
the dread of thee and the fear of thee 
upon the nations that are under the 
whole heaven, who sliall hear report 
of thee, and shall tremble, and be in 
anguish because of thee. 

26 "H And I sent messengers out of 
the wilderness of Kedemoth untoSi- 
hon king of Heshbon "^ with words ofj 
peace, saying, 

27 ^Let me pass through thy land:' 
I will go along by the highway, I| 
will neither turn unto the right hand | 
nor to the left. 

28 Thou shalt sell me meat for mo- 
ney, that I may eat ; and give me 
water for money, that I may drink : 
eonly I will pass through on my feet ; 

29 (''As the children of Esau which 
dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which 
dwell in Ar, did unto me ;) until I 
shall pass over Jordan into the land 
which the Lord our God giveth us. 

30 ' But Sihon king of Heshbon 
would not let us pass by him : for 
''the Lord thy God 'hardened his 
spirit, and made his heart obstinate, 
that he might deliver him into thy 
hand, as appeareth this day.

him as thou didst unto '^ Sihon king 
of the Amorites, which dwelt at 
Heshbon. 

3 So the Lord our God delivered 
into our hands Og also the king of 
Bashan, and all his people : ''and we 
smote him until none was left to him 
remaining. 

4 And we took all his cities at that 
time, there was not a city which we 
took not from them, threescore cities,

dom of Og in Bashan. 

5 All these cities loere fenced with

G And we utterly destroyed them, 
as we did unto Sihon king ^of Hesh- 
bon, utterly destroying the men, wo- 
men, and children of every city. 

7 But all the cattle, and the spoil 
of the cities, we took for a prey to 
ourselves. 

8 And we took at that time out of 
the hand of the two kings of the 
Amorites the land that was on this 
side Jordan, from the river of Arnon 
unto Mount Hermon ; 

9 {Which s Hermon i\\e Sidonians 
call Sirion ; and the Amorites call it 
JiShenir;)

all Gilead, and ^all Bashan, unto 
Salchah and Edrei, cities of the 
kingdom of Og in Bashan. 

1 1 ^ For only Og king of Bashan 
remained of the remnant of '"giants ; 
behold, his bedstead was a bedstead 
of iron ; is it not in "Rabbath of the 
children of Ammon ? nine cubits 
was the length thereof, and four cu- 
bits the breadth of it, after the cubit 
of a man. 

12 And this land, which we pos- 
sessed at that time, ° from Aroer, 
which is by the river Arnon, and 
half mount Gilead, and Pthe cities 
thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites 
and to the Gadites. 

13 1 And the rest of Gilead, and all 
Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, 
gave I unto the half-tribe of Manas- 
seh; all the region of Argob, with 
all Bashan, which was called the 
land of giants. 

14 '■Jair the son of Manasseh took 
all the country of Argob, « unto the 
coasts of Geshuri, and Maachathi ; 
and 'called them after his own name,

19 But your wives, and your little

shall the Lord do unto all the king-

22 Ye shall not fear them : for ^ the

24 O Lord God, thou hast begun 
to shew thy servant sthy greatness, 
and thy mighty hand : for ^ what 
God is there in heaven or in earth, 
that can do according to thy works, 
and according to thy might? 

25 I pray thee, let me go over, and 
see 'the good land that is beyond 
Jordan, that goodly mountain, and 
Lebanon. 

26 But the Lord '^ was wroth with 
me for your sakes, and would not 
hear me : and the Lord said unto me, 
Let it suffice thee ; speak no more 
unto me of this matter. 

27 iGet thee up into the top of 
II Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes west- 
ward, and northward, and south- 
ward, and eastward, and behold it 
with thine eyes : for thou shalt not 
go over this Jordan. 

28 But '"charge Joshua, and encou- 
rage him, and strengthen him : for 
he shall go over before this people, 
and he shall cause them to inherit 
the land which thou shalt see.

An exhortation to obedience. 

NOW therefore hearken, O Israel, 
unto a the statutes and unto the 
judgments, which I teach you, for 
to do them, that ye may live, and go 
in and possess the land which the 
Lord God of your fathers givethyou. 

2 ''Ye shall not add unto the word 
which I command you, neither shall 
ye diminish aught from it, that ye 
may keep the commandments of the 
Loud your God which I command 
you. 

3 Your eyes have seen what the 
Loud did because of <= Baal-peor : 
for all the men that I'ollowed Baal- 
peor, the Lord thy God hath de- 
stroyed them from among you. 

4 But ye that did cleave unto the 
Loud your God, are alive every one 
of you this day. 

5 Behold, I have taught you sta- 
tutes, and judgments, even as the 
Lord my God comn)anded me, that 
ye should do so in the land whither 
ye go to possess it. 

6 Keep therefore and do tliem : for 
this is'^your wisdom and your under 
standing in the sight of the nations, 
which shall hear all these statutes, 
and say, Surely this great nation is 
a wise and understanding people 

7 For <^what nation is there so 
great, who hath 'God so nigh unto 
them, as the Loud our God is in all 
things that we call upon him /or? 

8 And what nation is there so great, 
that hath statutes and judgments so 
righteous as all this law, which I set 
before you this day? 

9 Only take heed to thyself, and 
ekeep thy soul diligently, ''lest thou 
forget tiie things which thine eyes 
have seen, and lest they depart from 
thy heart all the days of thy life : 
but ' teach them thy sons, and thy 
sons' sons : 

10 Specially ''the day that thou 
stoodest before the Loud thy God in 
Horeb, when the Loud said unto 
me. Gather me the people together, 
and I will make them hear my words, 
that they may learn to fear me all 
the days that they shall live upon the 
earth, and that they may teach their 
children.

thou mightest know that the Lord 
he is God : ' there is none else besides 
him. 

36 '= Out of heaven he made thee to 
hear his voice, that he might instruct 
thee : and upon earth he shewed 
thee his great fire ; and thou heard- 
est his words out of the midst of the 
fire. 

37 And because ' he loved thy fa- 
thers, therefore he chose their seed 
after them, and ™ brought thee out 
in his sight with his mighty power 
out of Egypt ; 

38 -1 To drive out nations from be- 
fore thee, greater and mightier than 
thou art, to bring thee in, to give 
thee their land /or an inheritance, as 
it is this day. 

39 Know therefore this day, and 
consider it in thy heart, that ° the 
Lord he is God in heaven above, 
and upon the earth beneath : there is 
none else. 

40 P Thou shalt keep therefore his 
statutes and his commandments 
which I command thee this day, 
q that it may go well with thee, and 
with thy children after thee, and 
that thou mayest prolong thy days 
upon the earth, which the Lord thy 
God giveth thee, for ever.

Reubenites ; and Ramoth in Gilead,

The ten commandments 

upon the children unto the third 
and fourth generation of them that 
hate me, 

10 i^And shewing mercy unto thou- 
sands of them that love me, and keep 
my commandments. 

1 1 ' Thou shalt not take the name 
of the Lord thy God in vain: for 
the Lord will not hold him guiltless 
that taketh his name in vain. 

12 ""Keep the sabbath-day to sanc- 
tify it, as the Lord thy God hath 
commanded thee. 

13 "Six days thou shalt labour, and 
do all thy work ; 

14 But the seventh day is the "sab- 
bath of the Lord thy God : in it 
thou shalt not do any work, thou, 
nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor 
thy man-servant, nor thy maid-ser- 
vant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor 
any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger 
that is within thy gates; that thy 
man-servant and thy maid-servant 
may rest as well as thou. 

15 PAnd remember that thou wast 
a servant in the land of Egypt, and 
that the Lord thy God brought thee 
out thence itiirough a mightj hand 
and by a stretched-out arm: there- 
fore the Lord thy God commanded 
thee to keep the sabbath-day. 

16 H ■■ Honour thy father and thy 
mother, as the Lord thy God hath 
commanded thee; ^that thy days 
may be prolonged, and that it may 
go well with thee, in the land whicli 
the Lord thy God giveth thee. 

17 tThou shalt not kill. 

18 " Neither shalt thou commit 
adultery. 

19 =^ Neither shalt thou steal. 

20 J'Neither shalt thou bear false 
witness against thy neighbour. 

21 ^Neitlier shalt thou desire thy 
neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou 
covet thy neighbour's house, his 
field, or his man-servant, or his maid- 
servant, his ox, or his ass, or any 
thing that is thy neighbour's. 

22 Tf These words the Lord spake 
unto all your assembly in the mount, 
out of the midst of the fire, of the 
cloud, and of the thick darkness, 
with a great voice ; and he added 
no more: and ^^he wrote them in 
two tables of stone, and delivered 
them unto me. 

203 



Moses deputed to receive the law. DEUTERONOMY. TJie e7id of the law is obedience. 



23 ^ And it came to pass, when ye 
heard the voice out of the midst of 
the darkness, (for the mountain did 
burn with fire.) that ye came near 
unto me, even all the heads of your 
tribes, and your elders ; 

24 And ye said. Behold, the Lord 
our God hath shewed us his glorjs 
and his greatness, and '=we have 
heard his voice out of the midst of 
the fire : we have seen this day that 
God doth talk with man, and he 
''liveth. 

25 Now therefore why should we 
die? for this great fire will consume 
us: f^if we fhear the voice of the 
Lord our God any more, then we 
shall die. 

26 f For who is there of all flesh 
that hath heard the voice of the liv- 
ing God speaking out of the midst 
of the fire, as we have, and lived 1 

27 Go thou near, and hear all that 
the Lord our God shall say : and 
? speak thou unto us all that the 
Lord our God shall speak unto thee ; 
and Ave will hear it, and do it. 

28 And the Lord heard the voice 
of your words, when ye spake unto 
me ; and the Lord said unto me, I 
have heard the voice of the words of 
this people, which they have spoken 
unto thee: 'Uhey have well said all 
that they have spoken. 

29 ' O that there were such a heart in 
them, that they would fear me, and 
i^keep all my commandments always, 
J that it might be well with them, and 
with their children for ever! 

30 Go say to them. Get you into 
your tents again. 

31 But as for thee, stand thou here 
by me, ""and I will speak unto thee 
all the commandments, and the 
statutes, and the judgments, which 
thou shalt teach them, that they may 
do thern in the land which I give 
them to possess it. 

32 Ye shall observe to do therefore 
as the Lord your God hath com- 
manded you : nye shall not turn aside 
to the right hand or to the left. 

33 Ye shall walk in "all the ways 
which the Lord your God hath com- 
manded you, that ye may live, Pand 
that it may he well with you, and 
that yc may prolong your days in the 
land which ye shall possess.

The end of the law is obedience. 3 An exhor- 
taiion therein. 

OW these are ^^^the command- 
ments, the statutes, and the 
judgments which the Lord your 
God commanded to teach you, that 
ye might do them in the land whither 
ye fgo to possess it: 

2 i^That thoumightest fear the Lord 
thy God, to keep all his statutes and 
his commandments which I com- 
mand thee, thou, and thy son, and 
thy son's son, all the days of thy 
life; <=and that thy days may be 
prolonged. 

3 \ Hear therefore, O Israel, and 
observe to do it ; that it may be well 
with thee, and that ye may increase 
mightily, ''as the Lord God of thy 
fathers hath promised thee, in ^ the 
land that floweth with milk and 
honey. 

4 f Hear, O Israel : The Lord our 
God is one Lord: 

5 And &thou shalt love the Lord 
thy God 'nvith all thy heart, and 
with all thy soul, and with all thy 
might. 

6 And 'these words which I com- 
mand thee this day, shall be in thy 
heart : 

7 And kthou shalt f teach them 
diligently unto thy children, and 
shalt talk of them when thou sittest 
in thy house, and when thou walkest 
by the way, and when thou liest 
down, and when thou risest up. 

8 'And thou shalt bind them for a 
sign upon thy hand, and they shall 
be as frontlets betw~een thine eyes. 

9 '"And thou shalt write them 
upon the posts of thy house, and on 
thy gates. 

10 And it shall be, when the Lord 
thy God shall have brought thee into 
the land which he sware unto thy 
fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to 
Jacob, to give thee great and goodly 
cities, "which thou buildedst not, 

11 And houses full of all good 
things, which thou filledst not, and 
wells digged, Avhich thou diggedst 
not, vineyards and olive-trees, which 
thou plantedst not ; "when thou shalt 
have eaten and be full ;

house of f bondage. 

13 Thou shah Pfear the Lord thy 
God, and serve him, andishalt swear 
by his name. 

14 Ye shall not ""go after other 
gods, ^of the gods, of the people 
which are round about you ; 

15 (For 'the Lord thy God is a 
jealous God among you;) "lest the 
anger of the Lord thy God be kin- 
dled against thee, and destroy thee 
from oft" the face of the earth. 

16 H ^ Ye shall not tempt the Lord 
your God, yas ye tempted him in 
Massah. 

17 Ye shall ^diligently keep the 
commandments of the Lord yourj 
God, and his testimonies, and his 
statutes, which he hath commanded 
thee. 

18 And thou ^shah do that uhich 
is right and good in the sight of the 
Lord: that it may be well with thee, 
and that thou mayest go in and pos- 
sess the good land which the Lord 
sware unto thy fathers.

20 And "^when thy son asketh thee 
fin time to come, saying. What 
7nean the testimonies, and the sta- 
tutes, and the judgments, which the 
LoRDOurGod hath commanded you? 

21 Then thou shalt say unto thy 
son, We were Pharaoh's bond-men in 
Egypt ; and the Lord brought us 
out of Egj'pt "^with a mighty hand : 

22 •^And the Lord shewed signs 
and wonders, great and f sore, upon 
Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all 
his household, before our eyes : 

23 And he brought us out from 
thence, that he might bring us in, to 
give us the land which he sware 
unto our fathers. 

24 And the Lord commanded us 
to do all these statutes, 'to fear the 
Lord our God, gfor our good al- 
ways, that ''he might preserve us 
alive, as it is at this day. 

25 And 'it shall be our righteous-

for fear of idolatry, 6 for the holiness of the 
people, 9 for the nature of God in his mercy 
and justice, 17 for ike assuredness of victory 
which God will ^ivc over than. 

WHEN the a Lord thy God 
shall bring thee into tlie land 
whither thou goest to possess it, and 
hath cast out many nations before 
thee, ''the Hittites, and the Girgash- 
ites, and the Amorites, and the Ca- 
naanites, and the Perizzites, and the 
Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven na- 
tions <=greaterand mightierthanthou; 

2 And when the Lord thy God 
shall "'deliver them before thee, thou 
shalt smite them and ^ utterly de- 
stroy them, 'thou shalt make no co- 
venant with them, nor shew mercy 
unto them : 

3 ? Neither shalt thou make mar- 
riages with them; thy daughter thou 
shalt not give unto his son, nor his 
daughter shalt thou take unto thy 
son. 

4 For they will turn away thy son 
from following me, that they may 
serve other gods : ^so will the anger 
of the Lord be kindled against you, 
and destroy thee suddenly. 

5 But thus shall ye deal with them; 
ye shall 'destroy their altars, and 
break down their f images, and cut 
down their groves, and burn their 
graven images with fire. 

6 '= For thou art a holy people un- 
to the Loud thy God : 'the Lord 
thy God hath chosen thee to be a 
special people unto himself, above 
all people that are upon the face of 
the earth. 

7 The Lord did not set his love 
upon you, nor choose you, because 
ye were more in number than any 
people ; for ye icere '"the fewest of 
all people : 

8 But "because the Lord loved 
you, and because he would keep "the 
oath which he had sworn unto your 
fathers, I' hath the Lord brought you 
out with a mighty hand, and redeem- 
ed you out of the house of bond-men, 
from the hand of Pharaoh king of 
Egypt. 

9 Know therefore that the Lord 
thy God, he is God, ithe faithful 
God, ■'which keepeth covenant and 
mercy with them that love him and 
keep his commandments to a thou-

The reward of obedience. 

10 And srepayeth them that hate 
him to theh' face, to destroy them : 
^he will not be slack to him that 
hateth him, he will repay him to 
his face. 

11 Thou shalt therefore keep the 
commandments, and the statutes, and 
the judgments, which I command 
thee this day, to do them. 

12 TI "Wherefore it shall come to 
pass, fif ye hearken to these judg- 
ments, and keep, and do them, that 
the Lord thy God shall keep unto 
thee ^the covenant and the mercy 
which he sware unto thy fathers : 

13 And he will ylove thee, and 
bless thee, and multiply thee : ^he 
will also bless the fruit of thy womb, 
and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, 
and thy wine, and thine oil, the in- 
crease of thy kine, and the flocks of 
thy sheep, in the land which he sware 
unto thy fathers to give thee. 

14 Thou shalt be blessed above all 
people : ^^ there shall not be male or 
female barren among you, or among 
your cattle. 

15 And the Lord will take away 
from thee all sickness, and will put 
none of the ^evil diseases of Egypt 
which thou knowest upon thee ; but 
will lay them upon all them that hate 
thee. 

16 And ^thou shalt consume all 
the people which the Lord thy God 
shall deliver thee; ^ thine eye shall 
have no pity upon them : neither 
shalt thou serve their gods ; for that 
will he ^a. snare unto thee. 

17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, 
These nations are more than I, how 
can I ^dispossess them ? 

18 sThou shalt not be afraid of 
them : hut shalt well ^remember 
what the Loud thy God did unto 
Pharaoh, and unto all Egj^pt ; 

19 'The great temptations which 
thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the 
wonders, and the mighty hand, and 
the stretched-out arm, whereby the 
Lord thy God brought thee out : so 
shall the Lord thy God do unto all 
the people of whom thou art afraid. 

20 1^ Moreover, the Lord thy God 
will send the hornet among them, 
until they that are left, and hide them 
selves fz'om thee, be destroyed.

LL the commandments which I 
command thee this day ^ shall 
ye observe to do, that ye may live,

the land which the Lord sware unto

thee these forty years in the wilder- 
ness, to humble thee, and ^to prove 
thee, ^'to know what was in thy 
heart, whether thou wouldest keep 
his commandments, or no. 

3 And he humbled thee, and « suf- 
fered thee to hunger, and ffed thee 
with manna, which thou knewest not, 
neither did thy fathers know ; that 
he might make thee know that man 
doth Snot live by bread only, but by 
every word that proceedeth out of

heart, that as a man chasteneth his 
son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth 
thee. 

6 Therefore thou shalt keep the 
commandments of the Lord thy 
God, I* to walk in his ways, and to 
fear him. 

7 For the Lord thy God bringeth 
thee into a good land, • a land of 
brooks of water, of fountains, and 
depths that spring out of valleys and 
hills ; 

8 A land of wheat, and barley, and 
vines, and fig-trees, and pomegra-

ney ; 

9 A land wherein thou shalt eat 
bread without scarceness, thou shalt 
not lack any thing in it ; a land 
'"whose stones are iron, and out of 
whose hills thou mayest dig brass. 

10 "When thou hast eaten and art 
full, then thou shalt bless the Lord 
thy God for the good land which he 
hath given thee.

and dwelt therein ; 

13 And when thy herds and thy 
flocks muhiply, and thy silver and 
thy gold is multiplied, and all that 
thou hast is multiplied ; 

14 P Then thy heart be lifted up, 
and thou "i forget the Lord thy God, 
which brought thee forth out of the 
land of Egypt, from the house of 
bondage ; 

15 Who fled thee through that

rebellions. 

HEAR, O Israel : Thou art to 
"pass over Jordan this day, to 
go into possess nations "^greater and 
mightier than thyself, cities great 
and '^ fenced up to heaven, 

2 A people great and tall, <^ the chil- 
dren of the Anakims, whom thou 
knowest, and of whom thou hast 
heard say, AVho can stand before the 
children of Anak ? 

3 Understand therefore this day, 
that the Lord thy God is he which 
egoeth over before thee ; as a '"con- 
suming fire she shall destroy them, 
and he shall bring them down before 
thy face : *'so shalt thou drive them 
out, and destroy them quickly, as 
the Lord hath said unto thee. 

4 ' Speak not thou in thy heart, af- 
ter that the Lord thy God hath cast 
them out from before thee, saying, 
For my righteousness the Lord hath 
brought me in to possess this land : 
but ^{ov the wickedness of these 
nations the Lord doth drive them 
out from before thee. 

5 'Not for thy righteousness, or for 
the uprightness of thy heart dost 
thou go to possess their land : but 
for the w ickedness of these nations, 
the Lord thy God doth drive them 
out from before thee, and that he 
may perform "> the word which the 
Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abra- 
ham, Isaac, and Jacob. 

C Understand therefore, that the 
Lord thy God giveth thee not this 
good land to possess it for thy right- 
eousness; for thou art nastiff"-necked 
people.

several j-ebellions of Israel. 



7 II Remember, an(? forget not, how 
thou provokedst the Lord thy God 
to wrath in the wilderness : ° from 
the day that thou didst depart out 
of the land of Egypt, until ye came 
unto this place, ye have been rebel- 
lious against the Lord. 

8 Also P in Horeb ye provoked the 
Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was 
angry with you to have destroyed you. 

9 1 When I was gone up into the 
mount, to receive the tables of stone, 
even the tables of the covenant which 
the Lord made with you, then "^I 
abode in the mount forty days and 
forty nights, I neither did eat bread, 
nor drink water : 

10 ^And the Lord delivered unto 
me two tables of stone written with 
the finger of God ; and on them was 
ivritten according to all the words 
which the Lord spake with you in 
the mount, out of the midst of the 
fire, ^ in the day of the assembly. 

1 1 And it came to pass at the end 
of forty days and forty nights, that 
the Lord gave me the two tables of 
stone, even the tables of the covenant. 

12 And the Lord said unto me, 
" Arise, get thee down quickly from 
hence ; for thy people which thou 
hast brought forth out of Egypt have 
corrupted themselves; they are -^quick- 
ly turned aside out of the way which 
I commanded them ; they have made 
them a molten image. 

13 Furthermore, ythe Lord spake 
unto me, saying, I have seen this 
people, and behold, ^it is a stiff- 
necked people : 

14 =^Let me alone, that I may de- 
stroy them, and ^ blot out their name 
from under heaven : '^ and I will make 
of thee a nation mightier and greater 
than they. 

15 "^ So I turned and came down 
from the mount, and ^the mount 
burned with fire : and the two tables 
of the covenant iwcrc in my two hands. 

16 And fl looked, and behold, ye 
had sinned against the Lord your 
God, and had made you a molten 
calf: ye had turned aside quickly 
out of the way wliich the Lord had 
commanded you. 

17 And I took the two tables, and 
cast them out of my two hands, and 
brake thera before your eyes.

18 And I s fell down before the 
Lord, as at the first, forty days and 
forty nights: I did neither eat bread, 
nor drink water, because of all your 
sins which ye sinned, in doing wick- 
edly in the sight of the Lord, to 
provoke him to anger. 

19 'i(For I was afraid of the anger 
and hot displeasure wherewith the 
Lord was wroth against you to de- 
stroy you.) 'But the Lord hearken- 
ed unto me at that time also. 

20 And the Lord was very angry 
with Aaron to have destroyed him : 
and I prayed for Aaron also the 
same time. 

21 And ^I took your sin, the calf 
which ye had made, and burnt it 
with fire, and stamped it, and gronnd 
it very small, even until it was as 
small as dust : and I cast the dust 
thereof into the brook that descend- 
ed out of the mount. 

22 And at i Taberah,and at ^ Mas- 
sah, and at ° Kibroth-hattaavah, ye 
provoked the Lord to wrath. 

23 Likewise owhen the Lord sent 
you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, 
Go up and possess the land which I 
have given you ; then ye rebelled 
against the commandment of the 
Lord your God, and Pye believed 
him not, nor hearkened to his voice. 

24 q Ye have been rebellious against 
the Lord from the day that I knew 
you. 

25 ■■ Thus I fell down before the 
Lord forty days and forty nights, as 
I fell down at the first ; because the 
Lord had said he would destroy you. 

26 3 1 prayed therefore unto the 
Lord, and said, O Lord God, de- 
stroy not thy people and thine in- 
heritance, which thou hast redeemed 
through thy greatness, which , thou 
hast brought forth out of Egypt with 
a mighty hand. 

27 Remember thy servants, Abra- 
ham, Isaac, and Jacob ; look not unto 
the stubbornness of this people, nor 
to their wickedness, nor to their sin : 

28 Lest * the land whence thou 
broughtestus out, say, " Because the 
Lord was not able to bring them 
into the land which he promised 
them, and because he hated them, 
he hath brought them out to slay 
them in the wilderness.

1 God's mercy in restoring ilie two tables, 6 in con- 
tinuing the priesthood, 8 in separating the tribe 
of Levi, 10 in hearkening unfx> Moses his suit 
for the people. V2 An exhortation unto obedience. 

AT that time the Lord said unto 
me, a Hew thee two tables of 
stone like unto the first, and come up 
unto me into the mount, and bmake 
thee an ark of wood. 

2 And I will write on the tables the 
words that were in the first tables 
which thou brakest, and <^thou shalt 
put them in the ark. 

3 And I made an ark of <Jshittim 
wood, and ^ hewed two tables of: 
stone like unto the first, and went up 
into the mount, having the two tables 
in my hand. 

4 And 'he wrote on the tables, ac- 
cording to the first writing, the ten! 
t commandments, g which the Lord, 
spake unto you in the mount, out of 
the midst of the fire, '"in the day of 
the assembly : and the Lord gave 
them unto me. 

5 And I turned myself and 'came 
down from the mount, and "^put the! 
tables in the ark which I had made ; , 
'and there they be, as the !Lord 
commanded me. 

6 U And the children of Israel took 
their journey from Beeroth ""of the 
children of Jaakan to n!Mosera: 
"there Aaron died, and there he was 
buried ; and Eleazar his son minis- 
tered in the priest's office in his stead. 

7 p From thence they journeyed unto 
Gudgodah ; and from Gudgodah to 
Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters. 

8 H At that time <ithe Lord sepa- 
rated the tribe of Ixvi, ""to bear the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord, ^to 
stand before the Lord to minister 
unto him, and 'to bless in his name, 
unto this day. 

9" Wherefore Levi hath no part nor 
inheritance with liis brethren ; the 
Ix)RD is his inheritance, according as 
the Lord thy God promised him. 

10 And ^I stayed in the mount, ac- 
cording to the II first time, forty days 
and forty nights ; and > the Lord 
hearkened unto me at that time also, 
and the !Lord would not destroy tliee.

1 1 ^And the Lord said unto me. 
Arise, ftake thy journey before the 
people, that they may go in and pos- 
sess the land which I sw^are unto 
their fathers to give unto them. 

12 ^ And now, Israel, a\vhat doth 
the Lord thy God require of thee 
but I'to fear the Lord thy God, ^to 
walk in all his ways, and ^ito love 
him, and to serve the Lord thy God 
with all thy heart and with all thy 
soul, 

13 To keep the commandments of 
the Lord, and his statutes, which I 
command thee this day <^ for thy good? 

14 Behold, *"the heaven and the 
heaven of heavens is the Lord's thy 
God, ethe earth also, with all that 
therein is. 

15 hOnly the Lord had a dehght 
in thy fathers to love them, and he 
chose their seed after them, even you 
above all people, as it is this day. 

16 Circumcise therefore 'the fore- 
skin of your heai-t, and be no more 
''stifl-necked. 

17 For the Lord your God is 'God 
of gods, and '"Lord of lords, a great 
God, " a mighty, and a terrible, which 
Tegardeth not persons, nor taketh 
reward : 

18 pHe doth execute the judgment 
of the fatherless and widow, and lov- 
eth the stranger, in giving him food 
and raiment. 

191 Love ye therefore the stranger : 
for ye were strangers in the land of 

Eg>-pt- 

20 "^Thou shalt fear the Lord thy 
God ; him shalt thou serve, and to 
him shalt thou ^cleave, 'and swear 
by liis name. 

21 "He is thy praise, and he is thy 
God, ^that hath done for thee these 
great and terrible things which thine 
eyes have seen. 

22 Thy fathers went down into 
Egypt > with threescore and ten per- 
sons ; and now the Lord thy God 
hath made thee ^as the stars of hea- 
ven for multitude.

not with your children which have 
not known, and which have not seen 
<^the chastisement of the Lord your 
God, '^his greatness, "^his mighty 
liand, and his stretched out arm, 

3 ^And his miracles, and his acts, 
which he did in the midst of Egypt, 
unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and 
unto all his land ; 

4 And what he did unto the army 
of Egypt, unto their horses, and to 
their chariots ; show he niade the 
water of the Red sea to overflow 
them as they pursued after you, and 
how the Lord hath destroyed them 
unto this day ; 

5 And what he did unto you in the 
wilderness, until ye came into this 
place ; 

6 And hwhat he did unto Dathan 
and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the 
son of Reuben : how the earth open- 
ed her mouth, and swallowed them 
up, and their households, and their 
tents, and all the || substance that 
t was in their possession, in the midst 
of all Israel : 

7 But 'your eyes have seen all the 
great acts of the Lord which he did. 

8 Therefore shall ye keep all the 
commandments which I command 
you this day, that ye may ^be strong, 
and go in and possess the land, whi- 
ther ye go to possess it ; 

9 And 'that ye may prolong your 
days in the land "^ which the Lord 
sware unto your fathers to give unto 
them, and to their seed, "a land that 
floweth with milk and honey. 

10 1 For the land, whither thou 
goest in to possess it, is not as the 
land of Egypt, from whence ye came 
out, "where thou sowedst thy seed, 
and wateredst it with thy foot, as a 
garden of herbs : 

11 PBut the land, whither ye go to 
possess it, is a land of hills and val- 
leys, and drinketh water of the rain 
of heaven : 

12 A land which the Lord thy God 
fcareth for : Tthe eyes of the Lord 
thy God are always upon it, from 
the beginning of the year even unto 
the end of the year.

that the land yield not her fruit; and 
lest f'ye perish quickly from off the

upon your hand, that they may be as 
frontlets between your eyes. 

19 sAnd ye shall teach them your 
children, speaking of them when thou 
sittest in thy house, and when thou 
walkest by the way, when thou liest 
down, and when thou risest up. 

20 ''And thou shalt write them upon

aught unto his neighbour, shall re- 
lease it ; he shall not exact it of his

shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut

Usage of a captive taken to wife. CHAP. XXII. 

8 Be merciful, O Lord, unto thy 
people Israel, whom thou hast re- 
deemed, ^and lay not innocent blood 
f unto thy people of Israel's charge. 
And the blood shall be forgiven them. 

9 So « shalt thou put away the guilt 
of innocent blood from among you, 
when thou shalt do that which is 
right in the sight of the Lord. 

10 TI When thou goest forth to war 
against thine enemies, and the Lord 
thy God hath delivered them into 
thy hands, and thou hast taken them 
captive, • 

1 1 And seest among the captives a 
beautiful woman, and hast a desire 
unto her, that thou wouldest have 
her to thy wife ; 

12 Then thou shalt bring her home 
to thy house, and she shall shave 
her head, and || fpare her nails : 

13 And she shall put the raiment 
of her captivity from oft'her, and shall 
remain in thy house, and 'bewail 
her father and her mother a full 
month : and after that, thou shalt go 
in unto her, and be her husband, and 
she shall be thy wife. 

14 And it shall be, if thou have no 
delight in her, then thou shalt let her 
go whither she will ; but thou shalt 
not sell her at all lor money ; thou 
shalt not make merchandise of her, 
because thou hast e humbled her. 

ISKIf a man have two wives, 
one beloved, ''and another hated, 
and they have borne him children, 
hath the beloved and the hated ; 
and if the first-born son be hers 
that was hated : 

16 Then it shall be, 'when he 
niaketh his sons to inherit that which 
he hath, that he may not make the 
son of the beloved fir.st-born, before 
the son of the hated, which is indeed 
the first-born : 

17 But he shall acknowledge the 
son of the hated for the first-born, 
''by giving him a double portion of 
all fthat he hath : for he is 'the be- 
ginning of his strength ; "> the right 
of the first-born is his. 

18 % If a man have a stubborn and 
rebellious son, which will not obey 
tlie voice of his father, or the voice 
of his mother, and that, when they 
have chastened him, will not hearken 
unto them:

19 Then shall his father and his

20 And they shall say unto the el- 
ders of his city. This our son is stub- 
born and rebellious, he will not obey 
our voice ; he is a glutton, and a 
drunkard. 

2 1 And all the men of his city shall 
stone him with stones, that he die : 
"so shalt thou put evil away from 
among you, ° and all Israel shall 
hear, and fear.

to be put to death, and thou hang

night upon the tree, but thou shalt

The law to he written on stones. CHAP. XXVIII 

3 And thou shalt write upon them 
all the words of this law, when thou 
art passed over, that thou mayest go 
in unto the land which the Lord thy 
God giveth thee, a land that flowetii 
with milk and honey ; as the Lord 
God of thy fathers hath promised 
thee. 

4 Therefore it shall be when yc be 
gone over Jordan, tliat ye shall set 
up these stones, which I command 
you this day, *= in mount Ebal, and 
thou shalt plaster them with plas- 
ter. 

5 And there shalt thou build an al- 
tar unto the Lord thy God, an altar 
of stones: '■thou shalt not lift up 
any iron tool upon them. 

G Thou shalt build the altar of the 
Lord ihy God ol' whole stones : and 
thou shalt offer burnt-offerings there- 
on unto the Lord thy God : 

7 And thou shalt offer peace-offer- 
ings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice 
before the Lord thy God. 

8 And thou shalt write upon the 
stones all the words of this law, very 
plainly. 

9 TI And Moses and the priests the 
Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, 
Take heed and hearken, O Israel, 
= this day thou art become the peo- 
ple of the Lord thy God. 

10 Thou shalt therefore obey the 
voice of the Lord thy God, and do 
his commandments and his statutes 
which I command thee this day. 

11 If And Moses charged the peo- 
ple the same day, saying, 

12 These shall .stand 'upon mount 
Gerizim to bless the people, when ye 
are come over Jordan; Simeon, and 
Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and 
Joseph, and Benjamin : 

13 And « these shall stand upon 
mount Ebal f to curse ; Reuben, 
Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, 
and Naphtali. 

14 Tl And '> the Levites shall speak, 
and say unto all the men of Israel 
with a loud voice, 

15 ' Cursed he the man that maketh 
amj graven or molten image, an 
abomination unto the Lord, the 
work of the hands of the craftsman, 
andputtctlu7 ina secret^Zace ; •'and 
all the people shall answer and say, 
Amen.

come in : also the Lord hath said 
unto me, <= Thou shalt not go over

'' fear not, nor be afraid of them : 
for the Loud thy God, 'he it is that

and said unto him in tiie sight of all 
Israel, " Be strong and of a good cou-

cles, 

1 1 When all Israel is come to " ap- 
pear before the Lord thy God in the 
place which he shall choose, ^thou 
shalt read this law before all Israel 
in their hearing. 

12 y Gather the people together, 
men, and women, and children, and 
thy stranger that is within thy gates, 
that they may hear, and that they 
may learn, and fear the Lord your 
God, and observe to do all the 
words of this law : 

13 And that their children ^ which 
have not known any thing, '-^ may 
hear, and learn to fear the Lord 
your God, as long as ye live in the 
land whither ye go over Jordan to 
possess it. 

14 "[[ And the Lord said unto Mo- 
ses, '' Behold, thy days approach that 
thou must die : call Joshua, and pre- 
sent yourselves in the tabernacle of 
the congregation, that '^ I may give 
him a charge. And Moses and 
Joshua went and presented them- 
selves in the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation. 

15 And "i the Lord appeared in the 
tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud : 
and the pillar of the cloud stood 
over the door of the tabernacle. 

IG 1[ And the Lord said unto Mo- 
ses, Behold, thou shalt f sleep with 
thy fathers, and this people will 
•-■ rise up, and 'go a whoring after 
the gods of the strangers of the land, 
whither they go to be among them, 
and will s forsake me, and ^ break my 
covenant which I have made with 
them. 

17 Then my anger shall be kindled 
against them in that day, and 'I will 
forsake them, and I will i^hide my face 
from them, and they shall be de- 
voured, and many evils and troubles 
shall f befall them, .so that they will 
say in that day, ' Are not these evils 
come upon us, because our God is 
■" not among us? 

18 And " I will surely hide my face 
in that day for all the evils which 
they shall have wrought, in that 
they are turned unto other gods. 

19 Nowtherefore write ye this song 
for you, and teach it the children of 
Israel : put it in their mouths, that

20 For when I shall have brought o ver. 26. 30 And Moses spake in the ears 



them into the land which I sware 
unto their fathers, that floweth with 
milk and honey ; and they shall have 
eaten and filled themselves, Pand 
waxen fat ; i then will they turn un- 
to other gods, and serve them, and 
provoke me, and break my cove- 
nant. 

21 And it shall come to pass, r when 
many evils and troubles are befallen 
them, that this song shall testify 
I against them as a witness : for it 
shall not be forgotten out of the 
mouths of their seed : for ^ I know 
their imagination ^ which f they go 
about, even now, before I have 
brought them into the land which I 
sware. 

22 H Moses therefore wrote this 
song the same day, and taught it the 
children of Israel. 

23 " And he gave Joshua the son of 
Nun a charge, and said, ^Be strong 
and of a good courage: for thou 
shalt bring the children of Israel in- 
to the land which I sware unto 
them : and I will be with thee. 

24 TT And it came to pass, when 
Moses had made an end of y writing 
the words of this law in a book, un- 
til they were finished, 

25 That Moses commanded the Le- 
vites which bare the ark of the co- 
venant of the Lord, saying, 

26 Take this book of the law, ''■ and 
put it in the side of the ark of the 
covenant of the Lord your God, that 
it may be there ^ for awitness against 
thee. 

27 ^ For I know thy rebellion, and 
thy c stiflT neck : behold, while I am 
yet alive with you this day, ye have 
been rebellious against the Lord ; 
and how much more after my death? 

28 "[[ Gather unto me all the elders 
of your tribes, and your officers, that 
I may speak these words in their 
ears, '' and call heaven and earth to 
record against them. 

29 For I know that after my death 
ye will utterly "-'corrupt yourselves,

have commanded you ; and '"evil will

1 Moses' xong, which setleth forth God's mercy 
and vengeance. 46 He exhorteth them to set 
their hearts upon it. 48 God sendeth him up to 
mount Nebo, to see the land, and die. 

IVE ^ ear, O ye heavens, and I 
will speak ; and hear, O earth, 
the words of my mouth. 

2 ^ My doctrine shall drop as the 
rain, my speech shall distil as the 
dew, <= as the small rain upon the ten- 
der herb, and as the showers upon 
the grass : 

3 Because I will publish the name 
of the Lord : ^ ascribe ye greatness 
unto our God. 

4 He is f^the Rock, fhis work is 
perfect : for 8 all his ways are judg- 
ment : h a God of truth and ' with- 
out iniquity, just and right is he. 

5 f k They have corrupted them- 
selves, II their spot is not the spot of 
his children : they are a ' perverse 
and crooked generation. 

G Do ye thus "requite the Lord, 
O foolish people and unwise ? is not 
he "thy father that hath ° bought 
thee ? hath he not P made thee, and 
established thee ? 

7 TI Remember the days of old, con- 
sider the years of f many genera- 
tions : 'i ask thy father, and he will 
shew thee ; thy elders, and they 
will tell thee. 

8 When the Most High •■ divided 
to the nations their inheritance, when 
he s separated the sons of Adam, he 
set the bounds of the people accord- 
ing to the number of the children of 
Israel. 

9 For t the Lord's portion is his 
people ; Jacob is the f lot of his in- 
heritance. 

10 He found him " in a desert land, 
and in the waste howlingwilderness ; 
he II led him about, he ^instructed 
him, he ykept him as the apple of 
his eye. 

1 1 ^ As an eagle stirrethup her nest, 
fluttereth over her young, spreadeth 
abroad her wings, taketh them, bear- 
eth them on her wings ; 

12 So the Lord alone did lead him,

26 <i I said, I would scatter them

help you, and be fyour protection. 

39 See now that ^I, eten I am he, 
and ^ there is no god with rne : <= I 
kill, and I make alive ; I wound, and 
.1 heal : neither is there any that can 
deliver out of my hand. 

40 ^ For I lift up my hand to hea- 
ven, and say, I live for ever. 

41 ^ If I whet my glittering sword, 
and my hand take hold on judgment ; 
^I will render vengeance to mine 
enemies, and will reward them that 
hate me. 

42 I will make mine arrows s drunk 
with blood, and my sword shall de- 
vour flesh ; and that with the blood 
of the slain and of the captives from 
the beginning of ^ revenges upon the 
enemy. 

43 II i Rejoice, O ye nations, with 
his people: for he will ^^ avenge the 
blood of his sei-vants, and 'will ren- 
der vengeance to his adversaries, 
and ™will be merciful unto his land, 
and to his people. 

44 TIAiid Moses came and spake 
all the words of this song in the ears 
of the people, he and || Hoshea the 
son of Nun. 

45 And Moses made an end of 
speaking all these words to all Israel : 

46 And he said unto them, " Set 
your hearts unto all the words which 
I testify among you this day, which 
ye shall command your children to 
observe to do, all the words of this 
law. 

47 For it is not a vain thing for 
you: °because it is your life; and 
through this thing ye shall prolong 
rjour days in the land whither ye go 
over Jordan to possess it. 

48 PAnd the Lord spake unto Mo- 
ses that self-same day, saying, 

49 Get thee up into this q mountain 
Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is 
in the land of Moab, that is over 
against Jericho; and behold the land 
of Canaan which I give unto the 
children of Israel for a possession : 

50 And die in the mount whither 
thou goest up, and be gathered unto 
thy people; as ■■ Aaron thy brother 
died in mount Hor, and was gather- 
ed unto his people : 

51 Because ^ye trespassed against 
me among the children of Israel at 



The •prophecy of Moses 

the waters of || Meribah-Kadesh, in 
the wildeiTiess of Zin; because ye 
t sanctified me not in the midst of 
the children of Israel. 

52 "Yet thou shalt see the land 
before thee, but thou shalt not go 
thither unto the land which I give 
the children of Israel.

5 And he was ' king in "> Jeshurun, 
when the heads of the people and 
the tribes of Israel were gathered 
together. 

6 Tf Let Reuben live, and not die ; 
and let not his men be few. 

7 UAnd this is the blessing of Ju- 
dah: and he said. Hear, Lord, the 
voice of Judah, and bring him unto 
his people: "let his hands be suffi- 
cient for him, and be thou °a help 
to him from his enemies. 

8 "If And of Levi he said, vLet thy 
Thummim and thy Urim be with thy 
holy one, qwhom thou didst prove at 
Massah, and with whom thou didst 
strive at the waters of Meribah; 

9 Who said unto his father and to 
his mother, I have not ''seen him, 
s neither did he acknowledge his 
brethren, nor knew his OAvn chil- 
dren: for tthey have observed thy 
word, and kept tliy covenant. 

10 IhThey shall teach Jacob thy 
judgments, and Israel thy law; 

"^they shall put incense f before 
thee, yand whole burnt sacrifice up- 
on thine altar.

^accept the work of his hands: smite

concerning the twelve tribes. C 

through the loins of them that rise 
against him, and of them that hate 
him, that they rise not again. 

12 If And of Benjamin he said. The 
beloved of the Lord shall dwell in 
safety by him : and the LORD shall 
cover him all the day long, and he 
shall dwell between his shoulders. 

13 H And of Joseph he said. "Bless- 
ed of the Lord he his land, for the 
precious things of heaven, for "^the 
dew, and for the deep that coucheth 
beneath, 

14 And for the precious fruits 
brought forth by the sun, and for the 
precious things f put forth by the 
f moon, 

15 And for the chief things of ""the 
ancient mountains, and for the pre- 
cious things •'of the lasting hills, 

16 And for the precious things of 
the earth and fulness thereof, and 
for the good will of * him that dwelt 
in the bush : let the blcssinf^ 'come 
upon the head of Joseph, and upon 
the top of the head of him that was 
separated from his brethren. 

17 His glory is like the ? firstling 
of his bullock, and his horns are like 
••the horns of fnnicorns: with them 
'he shall push the people together 
to the ends of the earth: and "^they 
are the ten thousands of Ephraim, 
and they arc the thousands of Ma 
nasseh. 

18 U And of Zebulun he said, • Re- 
joice, Zebulun, in thy going out ; 
and Issachar, in tiiy tents. 

19 They shall "'call tiic people un- 
to the mountain: there "they shall 
offer sacrifices of righteousness : for 
they shall suck of the abundance of 
the seas, and of treasures hid in the 
sand. 

20 H And of Gad he said. Blessed 
he he that "enlargeth Gad: he dwell- 
eth as a lion, and teareth the arm 
with the crown of the head. 

21 And Phe provided the first part 
for himself, because there, in a por- 
tion of the lawgiver, ?ty/s he f seated:

or to the left, that thou mayest || pros- 
per whithersoever thou goest. 

8 "This book of the law shall not 
depart out of thy mouth ; but "thou 
shalt meditate therein day and night, 
that thou mayest observe to do ac- 
cording to all that is written therein: 
for then thou shalt make thy way 
prosperous, and then thou shalt || have 
good success. 

9 "Have not I commanded thee ? 
Be strong and of a good courage ; 
Pbe not afraid, neither be thou dis- 
mayed : for the Lord thy God is 
with thee whithersoever thou goest. 

10 TI Then Joshua commanded the 
officers of the people, saying, 

1 1 Pass through the host and com- 
mand the people, saying. Prepare you 
victuals ; for 'i within three days ye 
shall pass over this Jordan, to go in 
to possess the land which the Lord 
your God giveth you to possess it. 

12 ^ And to the Reubenites, and to 
the Gadites, and to half the tribe of 
Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying, 

13 Remember "^the word which 
Moses the servant of the Lord com- 
manded you, saying. The Lord your 
God hath given you rest, and hath 
given you this land. 

14 Your wives, your little ones, and 
your cattle shall remain in the land 
which Moses gave you on this side 
Jordan ; but ye shall pass before your 
brethren farmed, all the mighty men 
of valour, and help them ; 

238 



Rahab receiveth the spies. 

15 Until the Lord have given your 
brethren rest, as he hath given you, 
and they also have possessed the land 
which the Lord your God giveth 
them : * then ye shall return unto the 
land of your possession, and enjoy 
it, which Moses the Lord's servant 
gave you on this side Jordan to- 
ward the sun-rising. 

16 "H And they answered Joshua 
sa}"ing. All that thou commandest us, 
we will do, and whithersoever thou 
sendest us, we will go. 

1 7 According as we hearkened unto 
Moses in all things, so will we heark- 
en unto thee : only the Lord thy 
God t be with thee, as he was with 
Moses. 

18 Whosoever he be that doth rebel 
against thy commandment, and will 
not hearken unto thy words in all 
that thou commandest him, he shall 
be put to death : only be strong and 
of a good courage.

"out of Shittim two men to spy 
secretly, saying. Go view the land,

unto Rahab, saying. Bring forth the 
men that are come to thee, which are 
entered into thy house : for they be 
come to search out all the country. 

4 " And the woman took the two

8 ^T And before they were lain 
down, she came up unto them upon

9 And she said unto the men, I 
know that the Lord hath given you 
the land, and that syour ten-or is 
fallen upon us, and that all the in- 
habitants of the land f faint because 
of you. 

10 For we have heard how the 
Lord '' dried up the water of the Red 
sea for you, M'hen ye came out of 
Egj^t ; and ' what ye did unto the 
two kings of the Amorites that icere 
on the other side Jordan, Sihon and 
Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. 

11 And as soon as we had i* heard 
these things, 'our hearts did melt, 
neither f did there remain any more 
courage in any man, because of you : 
for "^the Lord your God, he is God 
in heaven above, and in earth be- 
neath. 

12 Now therefore, I pray you, 
° swear unto me by the Lord, since 
I have shewed you kindness, that ye 
will also shew kindness unto "my 
father's house, and Pgive me a true 
token : 

13 And that ye will save alive my 
father, and my mother, and my bre- 
thren, and my sisters, and all that 
they have, and deliver our lives 
from death. 

14 And the men answered her, 
Our life f for yours, if ye utter not 
this our business. And it shall be, 
when the Lord hath given us the 
land, that n we will deal kindly and 
truly with thee. 

15 Then she ""let them down by a 
cord through the window: for her 
house iras upon the town-wall, and 
she dwelt upon the wall. 

16 And she said unto them. Get 
you tothe mountain, lest the pur- 
suers meet you ; and hide your- 
selves there three days, until the piu-- 
suers be returned : and afterward 
may ye go your way.

Joshua, saying, 

2 ''Take you twelve men out of the

children of Israel, out of every tribe 
a man : 

5 And Joshua said unto them. Pass 
over before the ark of the Lord your 
God into the midst of Jordan, and 
take you up every man of you a stone 
upon his shoulder, according unto 
the number of the tribes of the chil- 
dren of Israel :

8 And the children of Israel did so 
as Joshua commanded, and took up 
twelve stones out of the midst of Jor- 
dan, as the Lord spake unto Joshua, 
according to the number of the tribes 
of the children of Israel, and carried 
them over with them unto the place 
where they lodged, and laid them 
down there. 

9 And Joshua set up twelve stones 
in the midst of Jordan, in the place 
where the feet of the priests which 
bare the ark of the covenant stood : 
and they are there unto this day. 

ion For the priests which bare the 
ark stood in the midst of Jordan, un- 
til eveiy thing was finished that the 
Lord commanded Joshua to speak 
unto the people, according to all that 
Moses commanded Joshua: and the 
people hasted and passed over. 

11 And it came to pass, when all 
the people were clean passed over, 
that the ark of the Lord passed over, 
and the priests in the presence of the 
people. 

12 And lithe children of Reuben, 
and the children of Gad, and half the 
tribeofManasseh, passed over armed 
before the cliildren of Israel, as Mo- 
ses spake unto them : 

13 About forty thousand || prepared 
for war, passed over before the Lord 
unto battle, to the plains of Jeri- 
cho. 

14 TI On that day the Lord 'mag- 
nified Joshua in the sight of all Is- 
rael, and they feared him as they 
feared Moses, all the days of his life. 

15 And the Lord spake unto Jo- 
shua, saying, 

16 Command the priests that bear 
'4he ark of the testimony, that they 
come up out of Jordan. 

17 Joshua therefore . commanded 
the priests, saying. Come ye up out 
of Jordan. 

18 And it came to pass, when the 
priests that bare the ark of the cove- 
nant of the Lord were come up out 
of the midst of Jordan, and the soles 
of the priests' feet M'ere | lifted up 
unto the dry land, that the waters 
of Jordan returned unto their place,

20 And "those twelve stones which

21 And he spake iinto the children 
of Israel, saying, ^When your chil-

22 Then ye shall let your children

23 For the Lord your God dried up 
the waters of Jordan from before

ND it came to pass, when all the 
kings of the Amorites which 
were.onihe, side of Jordan westward, 
and all the kings of the Canaanites 
^ which were by the sea, •> heard that 
the Lord had dried up the waters of 
Jordan fi'om before the children of 
Israel, until we were passed over, 
that their heart melted ; <= neither was 
there spirit in them any more, be- 
cause of the children of Israel. 

2 TI At that time the Lord said un- 
to Joshua,Make thee II ''sharp knives, 
and circumcise again the children of 
Israel the second time. 

3 And Joshua made him sharp 
knives, and circumcised the children 
of Israel at || the hill of the foreskins. 

4 And this is the cause why Joshua 
did circumcise : "^All the people that 
came out of Egypt, that were males, 
even all the men of war died in the 
wilderness by the way, after they 
came out of Egypt. 

5 Now all the people that came out 
were circumcised ; but all the people 
that were born in the wilderness by 
the way as they came forth out of 
Egypt, them they had not circum- 
cised.

the people that were men of war 
which came out of Egypt were con- 
sumed, because they obeyed not the 
voice of the Lord: unto whom the 
Lord sware that g he would not shew 
them the land which the Lord sware 
unto their fathers that he would give 
, J' a land that floweth with milk 
and honey. 

7 And i their children, whom he 
raised up in their stead, them Joshua 
circumcised : for they were uncir- 
cumcised, because they had not cir- 
cumcised them by the way. 

8 And it came to pass f when they 
had done circumcising all the peo- 
ple, that they abode in their places 
in the camp, "^till they were whole. 

9 And the Lord said unto Joshua, 
This day have I rolled away Hhe re- 
proach of Egypt from ofFyou : Where- 
fore the name of the place is called 
II ™ Gilgal unto this day. 

10^ And the children of Israel en- 
camped in Gilgal, and kept the pass- 
over "on the fourteenth day of the 
month at even, in the plains of Je-

passover, unleavened cakes and

1 Jericho is shut up. 2 God instrucieih Joshua 
how to besiege it. 12 The city is compassed. 17 
It must be accursed. 20 The walls fall down. 
22 Rahah is saved. 26 The builder of Jericho 
is cursed. 

NOW Jericho f was straitly shut 
up, because of the children of 
Israel: none went out, and none 
came in. 

2 And the Lord said unto Joshua, 
See, ^ I have given into thy hand 
Jericho, and the •'king thereof, and 
the mighty men of valour. 

3 And ye shall compass the city, 
all ye men of war, and go round 
about the city once : thus shalt 
thou do six days. 

4 And seven priests shall bear be- 
fore the ark seven <= trumpets of 
rams' horns: and the seventh day 
ye shall compass the city seven 
times, and ''the priests shall blow 
with the trumpets. 

5 And it shall come to pass, that 
when they make a long blast with 
the ram's horn, and when ye hear 
the sound of the trumpet, all the 
people shall shout with a great 
shout : and the wall of tiie city shall 
fall down + flat, and the people shall 1 ^ "«>>.

ascend up every man straight beiore

6 TIAnd Joshua the son of Nun 
called the priests, and said unto 
them, Take up the ark of the cove- 
nant, and let seven priests bear seven 
trumpets of rams' horns before the 
ark of the Lord. 

7 And he said unto the people, 
Pass on, and compass the city, and 
let him that is armed pass on before 
the ark of the Lord. 

8 TIAnd it came to pass, when 
Joshua had spoken unto the people, 
that the seven priests bearing the se- 
ven trumpets of rams' horns passed 
on before the Lord, and blew with 
the trumpets : and the ark of the co- 
venant of the Lord followed them. 

9 TI And the armed men went be-

trumpets, <^and the f rere-wardcame

1 1 So the ark of the Lord com- 
passed the city, going about it once : 
and they came into the camp, and 
lodged in the camp. 

12 H And Joshua rose early in the 
morning, *"and the priests took up 
the ark of the Lord. 

13 And seven priests bearing seven 
trumpets of rams' horns before the 
ark of the Lord went on continuallv, 
and blew with the trumpets : and the 
armed men went before them ; but 
the rere-ward came after the ark of 
the Lord, the priests going on, and 
blowing with the trumpets. 

14 And the second day they com- 
passed the city once, and returned 
into the camp. So they did six days. 

15 And it came to pass on the se- 
venth day, that they rose early about 
the dawning of the day, and com- 
passed the city after the same man- 
ner seven times: only on that day 
they compassed the city seven times. 

16 And it came to pass at the se- 
venth time, when the priests blew 
with the trumpets, Joshua said un- 
to the people, Shout ; for the Lord 
hath given you the city. 

17 "If And the city shall be || ac- 
cursed, even it, and all that are there- 
in, to the Lord : only Rahab the 
harlot shall live, she and all that are 
with her in the house, because ffshe 
hid the messengers that we sent. 

18 And ye, ''in any wise keep your- 
selves from the accursed thing, lest 
ye make yourselves accursed, when 
ye take of the accursed thing, and 
make the camp of Israel a curse, 
' and trouble it. 

19 But all the silver, and gold, and 
vessels of brass and iron, are f con- 
secrated unto the Lord : they shall 
come into the treasury of the Lord. 

20 So the people shouted when 
the priests blew with the trumpets : 
and it came to pass, when the peo- 
ple heard the sound of the trumpet, 
and the people shouted with a great 
shout, that ''the wall fell down fflat, 
so that the people went up into the 
city, every man straight before him, 
and they took the city. 

21 And they 'utterly destroyed all 

243 



Achan troubleth Israel : 

that was in the city, both man and 
woman, young and old, and ox, and 
sheep, and ass, with the edge of tiie 
sword. 

22 But Joshua had said unto the 
two men that had spied out the 
country, Go into the harlot's house, 
and bring out thence the woman, 
and all tliat she hath, "'as ye sware 
unto hei'. 

23 And the young men that were 
spies went in, and brought out Ra- 
hab, " and her father, and her mo- 
ther, and her brethren, and all that 
she had ; and they brought out all 
her f kindred, and left them without 
the camp of Israel. 

24 And they burnt the city with 
fire, and all that was therein : °only 
the silver, and the gold, and the ves- 
sels of brass and of iron, they put into 
the treasury of the house of the Lord. 

25 And Joihua saved Rahab the 
harlot alive, and her father's house- 
hold, and all that she had ; and Pshe 
dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; 
because she hid the messengers 
which Joshua sent to spy out Jeri- 
cho. 

26 TT And Joshua adjured them at 
that time, saying, <i Cursed he the 
man before the Lord, that riseth up 
and buildeth this city Jericho: he 
shall lay the foundation thereof in 
his first-born, and in his youngest 
son shall he set up the gates of it. 

27 f So the Lord was with Joshua ; 
and «his fame wzs noised throughout 
all the country.

3 And they returned to Joshua, and 
said unto him. Let not all the people 
go up ; but let f about two or three 
thousand men go up and smite Ai : 
and make not all the people to la- 
bour thither; for they are but few. 

4 So there went up thither of the 
people about three thousand men : 
band they fled before the men of Ai. 

5 And the men of Ai smote of 
them about thirty and six men : for 
they chased them from before the 
gate even unto Shebarim, and smote 
them II in the going down: where- 
fore <=the hearts of the people melt- 
ed, and became as water. 

6 'TIAnd Joshua '^rent his clothes, 
and fell to the earth upon his face 
before the ark of the Lord until the 
even-tide, he and the elders of Israel, 
and eput dust upon their heads. 

7 And Joshua said, Alas ! O Lord 
God, f wherefore hast thou at all 
brought this people over Jordan, to 
deliver us into the hand of the Amo- 
rites, to destroy us? would to God 
we had been content, and dwelt on

take shall come man by m.an. 

15 ■■ And it shall be, that he that is 
taken with the accursed thing shall 
be burnt with fire, he and ail that 
he hath : because he hath » trans- 
gressed the covenant of the Lord, 
and because he 'hath wrought || lolly 
in Israel. 

16 T[ So Joshua rose up early in 
the morning, and brought Israel by 
their tribes ; and the tribe of Judah 
was taken : 

17 And he brought the family of 
Judah ; and he took the family of 
the Zarhites: and he brought the 
family of the Zarhites man by man ; 
and Zabdi was taken : 

18 And he brought his household 
man by man ; and Achan the son 
of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son 
of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, "was 
taken. j 

19 And Joshua said unto Achan,! 
My son, ^give, I pray thee, glory to 
the Lord God of Israel, rand make 
confession unto him; and ^ tell me 
now what thou hast done, hide it 
not from me. 

20 And Achan an yered Joshua, 
and said. Indeed I hj.ve sinned a- 
gainst the Lord God of Israel, and 
thus and thus have I done. 

21 When I saw among the spoils 
a goodly Babylonish garment, and 
two hundred shekels of silver, and 
a f wedge of gold of fifty shekels 
weight, then I coveted them, and 
took them, and behold, they are 
hid in the earth in the midst of my 
tent, and the silver under it. 

22 TI So Joshua sent messengers, 
and they ran unto the tent, and be- 
hold, it was hid in his tent, and the 
silver under it. 

23 And they took them out of the 
midst of the tent, and brought them

The stratagem for taking Ai. 

unto Joshua, and unto all the chil- 
dren of Israel, and f laid them out 
before the Lord. 

24 And Joshua, and all Israel with 
him, took Achan the son of Zerah, 
and the silver, and the garment, and 
the wedge of gold, and his sons, and 
his daughters, and his oxen, and his 
asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and 
all that he had : and they brought 
them unto ^the valley of Achor. 

25 And Joshua said, *> Why hast 
thou troubled us ? the Lord shall 
trouble thee this day. '^ And all Is- 
rael stoned him with stones, and 
burned them with fire, after they 
had stoned them with stones. 

26 And they '^ raised over him a 
great heap of stones unto this day. 
So e the Lord turned from the fierce- 
ness of his anger : w herefore the 
name of that place was called, ''The 
valley of || Achor, unto this day,

AND the Lord said unto Joshua, 
"Fear not, neither be thou dis- 
mayed : take all the people of war 
with thee, and arise, go up to Ai : 
see, '' I have given into thy hand the 
king of Ai, and his people, and his 
city, and his land : 

2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her 
king, as thou didst unto <= Jericho and 
her king : only '' the spoil thereof, 
and the cattle thereof, shall ye take 
for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee 
an ambu.sh for the city behind it. 

3 TI So Joshua arose, and all the 
people of war, to go up against Ai : 
and Joshua chose out thirty thousand 
mighty men of valour, and sent them 
away by night. 

4 And he commanded them, say- 
ing. Behold, eye shall lie in wait a- 
gainst the city, even behind the city : 
go not very far from the city, but be 
ye all ready : 

5 And I, and all the people that are 
with me, will approach unto the city: 
and it shall come to pass when they 
come out against us, as at the first, 
that f we will flee before them, 

6 (For they will come out after us) 
till we have f drawn them from the 
city; fortheywill say, They flee be- 

245 



Ai is taken, and 

fore us, as at the first : therefore we 
will flee before them, 

7 Then ye shall rise up from the 
ambush, and seize upon the city 
for the Lord your God will deliver 
it into your hand. 

8 And it shall be when ye have 
taken the city, that ye shall set the 
city on fire : according to the com- 
mandment of the Lord shall ye do. 
s See, I have commanded you. 

9 II Joshua therefore sent them 
forth ; and they went to lie in am- 
bush, and abode between Beth-el 
and Ai, on the west side of Ai : but 
Joshua lodged that night among the 
people. 

10 And Joshua rose up early in the 
morning, and numt>ered the people, 
and went up, he and the elders of 
Israel, before the people to Ai. 

1 1 i> And all the people, even the 
people of war that were with him, 
went up, and drew nigh, and came 
before the city, and pitched on the 
north side of Ai : now there was a 
valley between them and Ai. 

12 And he took about five thousand 
men, and set them to lie in ambush 
between Beth-el and Ai, on the west 
side II of the city. 

13 And when they had set the peo- 
ple, even all the host that was on the 
north of the city, and f their liers in 
wait on the west of the city, Joshua 
went that night into the midst of the 
valley. 

14 Tf And it came to pass when the 
king of Ai saw it, that they hasted 
and rose up early, and the men of the 
city went out against Israel to battle, 
he ana all his people, at a time ap- 
pointed, before the plain : but he 
'wist not that there were liers in am- 
bush against him behind the city. 

15 And Joshua and all Israel ^ made 
as if they were beaten before them, 
and fled by the way of the wilderness. 

16 And all the people that were in 
Ai were called together to pursue 
after them : and they pursued after 
Joshua, and were drawn away from 
the city. 

17 And there was not a man left 
in Ai, or Beth-el, that went not out 
after Israel : and they left the city 
open, and pursued after Israel.

tlie king thereof hanged. 

Stretch out the spear that is in thy 
hand toward Ai ; for I will give it 
into thy hand. And Joshua stretch- 
ed out the spear that he had in his 
hand toward the city, 

19 And the ambush arose quickly 
out of their place, and they ran as 
soon as he had stretched out his 
hand : and they entered into the city, 
and took it, and hasted, and set the 
city on fire. 

20 And when the men of Ai looked 
behind them, they saw, and behold, 
the smoke of the city ascended up to 
heaven, and they had no f power to 
flee this way or that way : and the 
people that fled to the wilderness 
turned back upon the pursuers. 

21 And when Joshua and all Israel 
saw that the ambush had taken the 
city, and that the smoke of the city 
ascended, then they turned again, 
and slew the men of Ai. 

22 And the other issued out of the 
city against them ; so they were 
in the midst of Israel, some on this 
side, and some on that side : and 
they smote them, so that they ^ let 
none of them remain or escape. 

23' And the king of Ai they took 
alive, and brought him to Joshua. 

24 And it came to pass when Is- 
rael had made an end of slaying all 
the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in 
the wilderness wherein they chased 
them, and when they were all fallen 
on the edge of the sword, until they 
were consumed, that all the Israel- 
ites returned unto Ai, and smote it 
with the edge of the sword, 

25 And so it was, that all that fell 
that day, both of men and women, 
were twelve thousand, even all the 
men of Ai. 

26 For Joshua drew not his hand 
back wherewith he stretched out the 
spear, until he had utterly destroyed 
all the inhabitants of Ai. 

27 '" Only the cattle and the spoil 
of that city Israel took for a prey 
unto themselves, according unto the 
word of the Lord which he " com- 
manded Joshua. 

28 And Joshuaburnt Ai, and made 
it o a heap for ever, even a desola- 
tion mito this day. 

29 P And the king of Ai he hanged 
on a tree until even-tide : qand as soon 

246 



The altar is built in Ebal. 

as the sun was down, Joshua com- 
manded that they should take his 
carcass down from the tree, and cast 
it at the entering of the gate of the 
city, and •■ raise thereon a great heap 
of stones, that remaineth unto this 
day. 

30 TI Then Joshua built an altar 
unto the Lord God of Israel ^in 
mount Ebal, 

31 As Moses the servant of the 
Lord commanded the children of 
Israel, as it is written in the 'book of 
the law of Moses, an altar of whole 
stones, over which no man hath lifted 
up any iron : and "they offered there- 
on burnt-offerings unto the Lord, 
and sacrificed peace-offerings. 

32 H And •''he wrote there upon the 
stones a copy of the law of Moses, 
which lie wrote in the presence of 
the children of Israel. 

33 And all Israel, and their elders, 
and officers, and their judges, stood 
on this side the ark and on that side 
before the priests the Levites, y which 
bare the ark of the covenant of the 
Lord, as well ^the stranger, as he 
that was born among them ; half of 
them over against mount Gerizim, 
and half of them over against mount 
Ebal ; "as Moses the servant of the 
Lord had commanded before, tiiat 
they should bless the people of Is- 
rael. 

34 And afterward "^he read all the 
words of the law, ^the blessings and 
cursings, according to all that is 
written in tiie book of the law. 

35 There was not a word of all that 
Moses commanded, which Joshua 
read not before all the congregation 
of Israel, ''with the women, and the 
little ones, and "^the strangers that 
t were conversant among them.

The Gibeonites obtain a league. 

together, to fight with Joshua and 
with Israel, with one f accord. 

3 TI And when the inhabitants of 
^Gibeon « heard what Joshua had 
done unto Jericho and to- Ai, 

4 They did work wilily, and went 
and made as if they had been ambas- 
sadors, and took old sacks upon their 
asses, and wine-bottles, old, and rent, 
and bound up ; 

5 And old shoes and clouted upon 
their feet, and old garments upon 
them ; and all the bread of their pro- 
vision was dry and mouldy. 

G And they went to Joshua ^unto 
the camp at Gilgal, and said unto 
him, and to the men of Israel, We be 
come from a far country: now there- 
fore make ye a league with us. 

7 And the men of Israel said unto 
the s Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell 
among us ; and ''how shall we make 
a league with you ? 

8 And they said unto Joshua, 'We 
are thy servants. And Joshua said 
unto them. Who are ye ? and from 
whence come ye ? 

9 And they said unto him, ''From 
a very far country thy servants are 
come, because of the name of the 
Lord thy God : for we have ' heard 
the fame of him, and all that he did 
in Eg)'pt, 

10 And "lall that he did to the two 
kings of the Amorites, that were be- 
yond Jordan, to Sihon king of Hesh- 
bon, and to Og king of Bashan, 
which was at Ashtaroth. 

11 AVherefore our elders, and all 
the inhabitants of our country spake 
to us, saying. Take victuals f with 
you for the journey, and go to meet 
them, and say unto them. We are 
your servants : therefore now make 
ye a league with us : 

12 This our bread we took hot /or 
our provision out of our houses on 
the day we came forth to go unto 
you ; but now, behold, it is dry, and 
it is mouldy : 

13 And these bottles of wine which 
we filled, were new, and behold 
they be rent: and these our garments 
and our shoes are become old by rea- 
son of the very long journey. 

14 And lithe men took of their vic- 
tuals, " and asked not counsel at the 
mouth of the Lord. 

247 



Joshua adjudgeih the Gibeonites 

15 And Joshua °made peace with 
them, and made a league with them, 
to let them live : and the princes of 
the congregation sware unto them. 

16 "H And it came to pass at the end 
of three days after they had made a 
league with them, that they heard 
that they were their neighbours, and 
that they dwelt among them. 

17 And the children of Israel jour- 
neyed, and came unto their cities on 
the third day. Now their cities were 
pGibeon, and Chephirah, and Bee- 
roth, and Kijath-jearim. 

18 And the children of Israel smote 
them not, ibecause the princes of the 
congregation had sworn unto them 
by the Lord God of Israel. And all 
the congregation murmured against 
the princes. 

19 But all the princes said unto all 
the congregation, We have sworn 
unto them by the Lord God of Is- 
rael : now therefore we may not 
touch them. 

20 This we will do to them ; we will 
even let them live, lest "^wrath be 
upon us, because of the oath which 
we sware unto them. 

21 And the princes said unto them, 
Let them live ; but let them be ^ hew- 
ers of wood, and drawers of water 
unto all the congregation ; as the 
princes had ^promised them. 

22 H And Joshua called for them, 
and he spake unto them, saying. 
Wherefore have ye beguiled us, say- 
ing, " We are very far from you ; 
when '=ye dwell among us ? 

23 Now therefore ye are y cursed, 
and there shall f none of you be freed 
from [being bond-men, and ^ hewers 
of wood and drawers of water for 
the house of my God. 

24 And they answered Joshua, and 
said, Because it was certainly told 
thy servants, how that the Lord thy 
God ^commanded his servant Moses 
to give you all the land, and to de- 
stroy all the inhabitants of the land 
from before you, therefore ^we were 
sore afraid of our lives because of 
you, and have done this thing. 

25 And now, behold, we are ^in 
thy hand: as it seemeth good and 
right unto thee to do unto us, do. 

26 And so did he unto them, and 
delivered them out of the hand of

1 Five hings vnr against Gibeon. 6 Joshua res- 
cueth it. 10 Godjighteih against tliem with hail- 
stones. 12 The snn and moon stand still at the 
word of Joshua. 16 The five kings are mured in 
a cave. 21 They are brought forth, 'ii scorn- 
fully used, 26 and hanged. 28 Seven kin^s more 
are conquered. 43 Joshua retwneth to Gilgal. 

NOW it came to pass, when Ado- 
ni-zedek king of Jerusalem had 
heard how Joshua had taken Ai,and 
had utterly destroyed it ; ^as he had 
done to Jericho and her king, so he 
had done to ^Aa and her king ; and 
<= how the inhabitants of Gibeon had 
made peace with Israel, and were 
among them ; 

2 That they ^ feared greatly, be- 
cause Gibeon was a great city, as one 
of the t royal cities, and because it 
was greater than Ai, and all the men 
thereof were mighty. 

3 Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of 
Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of 
Hebron, and unto Piram king of 
Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of 
Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eg- 
lon, saying, 

4 Come up unto me, and help me, 
that we may smite Gibeon : ''for it 
hath made peace with Joshua and 
with the children of Israel. 

5 Therefore the five kings of the 
Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the 
king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, 
the king of Lachish, the king of Eg- 
lon, ^gathered themselves together, 
and went up, they and all their hosts, 
and encamped before Gibeon, and 
made war against it, 

6 11 And the men of Gibeon sent 
unto Joshua ffto the camp to Gilgal,. 
saying. Slack not thy hand from thy 
servants ; come up to us quickly, and 
save us, and help us : for all the kings 
of the Amorites that dwell in the 
mountains are gathered together a- 
gainst us. 

7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, 
he, and ^all the people of war with 
him, and all the mighty men of va- 
lour. 

248 



TJie sun and moon stand still. 

8 1^ And the Lord said unto Joshua, 
'Fear them not: for I have dehvered 
them into thy hand ; ^ there shall 
not a man of them stand before thee. 

9 Joshua therefore came unto them 
suddenly, a7id went up from Gilgal 
all night. 

10 And the Lord 'discomfited them 
before Israel, and slew them with a 
great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased 
them along the way that goeth up 
"Uo Beth-horon, and smote them to 
"Azekah, and unto IMakkedah. 

1 1 And it came to pass as they fled 
from before Israel, and were in the 
going down to Beth-horon, "that the 
Lord cast down great stones from 
lieaven upon them unto Azekah, and 
they died : they were more which died 
with hailstones than they whom the 
children of Israel slew with the 
sword. 

12 1 Then spake Joshua to the 
Ix)RD in the day when the Loud de- 
livered up the Amoritcs before the 
children of Israel, and he said in the 
sight of Israel, p Sun, f stand thou 
still upon Gibeon, and thou Moon, 
in the valley of q Ajalon. 

13 And the sun stood still,' and the 
moon stayed, until the people had 
avenged themselves upon their ene- 
mies, r/s not this written in the 
book of llJasher? So the sun stood 
still in the midst of heaven, and 
hasted not to go down about a 
whole day. 

14 And there was ^no day like that 
before it or after it, that the Lord 
hearkened unto the voice of a man : 
for 'the Lord fought for Israel. 

15 11 "And Joshua returned, and 
all Israel with him, unto the camp to 
Gilgal. 

16 But these five kings fled, and hid 
themselves in a cave at INIakkedah. 

17 And it was told Joshua, saying. 
The five kings are found hid in a 
cave at Makkedah. 

18 And Joshua said. Roll great 
stones upon the mouth of the cave, 
and set men by it for to keep them : 

19 And stay yc not, but pursue 
after your enemies, and f smite the 
hindmost of them ; suffer them not 
to enter into their cities : for the 
Loud your God hath delivered them 
into your hand.

The five combined kings slain. 

20 And it came to pass, when Jo- 
shua and the children of Israel had 
made an end of slaying them with a 
very great slaughter, till they were 
consumed, that the rest which re- 
mained of them entered into fenced 
cities. 

21 And all the people returned to 
the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in 
peace: ^none moved his tongue a- 
gainst any of the children of Israel. 

22 Then said Joshua, Open the 
mouth of the cave, and bring out 
those five kings unto me out of the 
cave. 

23 And they did so, and brought 
forth those five kings unto him out 
of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, 
the king of Hebron, the king of Jar- 
muth, the king of Lachish, and the 
king of Eglon. 

24 And it came to pass, when they 
brought out those kings unto Joshua, 
that Joshua called for all the men of 
Israel, and said unto the captains of 
the men of war which went with 
him. Come near, Jput your feet upon 
the necks of these kings. And they 
came near, and put their feet upon 
the necks of them. 

25 And Joshua said unto them, 
^Fear not, nor be dismayed, be 
strong and of good courage: for 
''thus shall the Lord do to all your 
enemies against whom ye fight. 

20 And afterward Joshua smote 
them, and slew them, and hanged 
them on five trees: and they "^were 
hanging upon the trees until the 
evening. 

27 And it came to pass at the time 
of the going down of the sun, that 
Joshua commanded, and they <^took 
them down oft" the trees, and cast 
them into the cave wherein they 
had been hid, and laid great stones 
in the cave's mouth, which remain 
until this very day. 

28 Tf And that day Joshua took 
Makkedah, and smote it with the 
edge of the sword, and the king 
thereof he utterly destroyed, them, 
and all the souls that were therein ; 
he let none remain : j^nd he did to 
the king of Makkedah ^as he did 
unto the king of Jericho. 

29 Then Joshua passed from Mak- 
Ikedah, and all Israel with him, unto 

249 



Joshua smitcAh 

Libnah, and fought against Lib- 
nah : 

30 And the Lord dehvered it also, 
and the king thereof, into the hand 
of Israel : and he smote it with the 
edge of the sword, and all the souls 
that were therein; he let none remain 
in it ; but did unto the king thereof 
as he did unto the king of Jericho. 

31 ^And Joshua passed from Lib- 
nah, and all Israel with him, unto 
Lachish, and encamped against it, 
and fought against it : 

32 And the Lord delivered Lachish 
into the hand of Israel, which took it 
on the second day, and smote it with 
the edge of the sword, and all the 
souls that were therein, according to 
all that he had done to Libnah. 

33 TI Then Horam king of Gezer 
came up to help Lachish ; and Joshua 
smote him and his people, until he 
had left him none remaining. 

34 TI And from Lachish Joshua 
passed unto Eglon, and all Israel 
with him : and they encamped a- 
gainst it, and fought against it : 

35 And they took it on that day, 
and smote it with the edge of the 
sword, and all the souls that were 
therein he utterly destroyed that day, 
according to all that he had done to 
Lachish. 

36 And Joshua went up from Eg- 
lon, and all Israel with him, unto 
''Hebron; and they fought against 
it: 

37 And they took it, and smote it 
with the edge of the sword, and the 
king thereof^ and all the cities there- 
of, and all the souls that were there- 
in ; he left none remaining (accord- 
ing to all that he had done to Eglon) 
but destroyed it utterly, and all the 
souls that were therein. 

38 "HAnd Joshua returned, and all 
Israel with him, to ^Debir; and 
fought against it : 

39 And he took it, and the king 
thereof, and all the cities thereof, 
and they smote them with the edge 
of the sword, and utterly destroyed 
all the souls that ive7-e therein; he 
left none remaining : as he had done 
to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and 
to the king thereof; as he had done 
also to Libnah, and to her king. 

40 II So Joshua smote all the coun-

41 And Joshua smote them from

i and all the country of Goshen, even 
unto Gibeon. 

42 And all these kings and their

fought for Israel.

CHAP. XL 

1 Divers Icings overcome at the waters of Merom. 
10 Hazor is taken and bm-nt. 16 All the cotm- 
try taken by Joshua. 21 The Anakims cut off. 

ND it came to pass, when Jabin 
king of Hazor had heard those 
things, that he ^ sent to Jobab king 
of Madon, and to the king •'of Shim- 
ron, and to the king of Achshaph, 

2 And to the kings that were on the 
north of the mountains, and of the 
plains south of <= Cinneroth, and in 
the valley, and in the borders "^of 
Dor on the west, 

3 And to the Canaanite on the east 
and on the west, and to the Amorite, 
and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, 
and the Jebusite in the mountains, 
«and to the Hivite under ^Hermon 
s'm the land of Mizpeh. 

4 And they went out, they and all 
their hosts with them, much people, 
^even as the sand that is upon the 
sea-shore in multitude, with horses 
and chariots very many. 

5 And when all these kings were 
f met together, they came and pitch- 
ed together at the waters of Merom, 
to fight against Israel. 

6 "(I And the Lord said unto Jo- 
shua, "Be not afraid because of them: 
for to-morrow about this time will I 
deliver them up all slain before Is- 
rael: thou shalt 1^ hough their horses, 
and burn their chariots with fire. 

7 So Joshua came, and all the peo- 
ple of war with him, against them by 
the waters of Merom suddenly, and 
they fell upon them. 

8 And the Lord delivered them 
into the hand of Israel, who smote 
them, and chased them unto || great

Razor is taken and burnt. 

Zidon, and unto ^ || f Misrephoth- 
maim,and unto the valley of Mizpeh 
eastward; and they smote them, un- 
til they left them none remaining. 

9 And Joshua did unto them "' as 
the Lord bade him : he houghed 
their horses, and burnt their chari- 
ots with fire. 

10 H And Joshua at that time turn- 
ed back, and took Hazor, and smote 
the king thereof with the sword: for 
Hazor beforetime was the head of 
all those kingdoms. 

11 And they smote all the souls 
that j^-ere therein with the edge of 
the sword, utterly destroying t/iem : 
there was not f any left to breathe : 
and he burnt Hazor with fire. 

12 And all the cities of those kings, 
and all the kings of them, did Joshua 
take, and smote them with the edge 
of the sword, and he utterly destroy- 
ed them, n as Moses the servant of 
the Loud commanded. 

13 But as for the cities that stood 
still fin their strength, Israel burned 
none of them, save Hazor only; that 
did Joshua burn. 

14 And all the spoil of these cities, 
and the cattle, the children of Israel 
took for a prey unto themselves: but 
every man they smote with the edge 
of the sword, until they had destroyed 
them, neither left they any to breathe. 

15 H °As the Loud commanded 
Moses his servant, so Pdid Moses 
command Joshua, and <) so did Jo- 
shua : t he left nothing undone of all 
that the Lord commanded Moses. 

IG So Joshua took all that land, 
"^the hills, and all the south country, 
'and all the land of Goshen, and the 
valley, and the plain, and the moun- 
tain of Israel, and the valley of the 
same ; 

17 ^Even from || the mount Halak, 
that goeth up to Seir, even unto 
Baal-gad, in the valley of Lebanon 
under mount Hermon : and " all 
their kings he took, and smote them, 
and slew them. 

18 II Joshua made war a long time 
with all those kings. 

19 There was not a city that made 
peace with the children of Israel, save 
^ the Hivites the inhabitants of Gi- 
beon : all other they took in battle.

Moses smite, and cast them out. 

13 Nevertheless, the children of Is- 
rael expelled ^not the Geshurites, 
nor the Maachathites : but the Ge- 
shurites and the Maachathites dwell 
among the Israelites until this day. 

14 yOnly unto the tribe of Levi he 
gave none inheritance ; the sacrifices 
of the Lord God of Israel made by 
fire are their inheritance, ^as he said 
unto them. 

15 If And Moses gave unto the tribe 
of the children of Reuben inheritance 
according to their families. 

16 And their coast was '^ from Aro-

Arnon, ^and the city that ism the

from Mahanaim unto the border of 
Debir ; 

27 And in the valley, PBeth-aram, 
and Beth-nimrah, <! and Succoth, and 
Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of 
Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and 
his border, even unto the edge ■" of 
the sea of Cinneroth, on the other 
side Jordan eastward. 

28 This is the inheritance of the 
children of Gad after their families, 
the cities, and their villages. 

29 TI And Moses gave inheritance 
unto the half-tribe of Manasseh: 
and this was the possession of the 
half-tribe of the children of Manas- 
seh by their families. 

30 And their coast was from Ma- 
hanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom 
of Og king of Bashan, and *all the 
towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, 
threescore cities : 

31 And half Gilead, and 'Ashta- 
roth, and Edrei, cities of the king- 
dom of Og in Bashan, ioe?'e pertain- 
ing unto the children of Machir the 
son of Manasseh, even to the one 
half of the "children of Machir by 
their families. 

32 These are the countries which 
Moses did distribute for inheritance 
in the plains of Moab, on the other 
side Jordan by Jericho eastward. 

33^ But unto the tribe of Levi, 
Moses gave not aiiy inheritance : the 
Lord God of Israel iras their inhe- 
ritance, >' as he said unto them.

the children of Israel inherited 
in the land of Canaan, =i which Elea- 
zar the priest, and Joshua the son of 
Nun, and the heads of the fathers of 
the tribes of the children of Israel 
distributed for inheritance to them. 

2 ''By lot it'tts their inheritance, as 
the Loud commanded by the hand 
of Moses, for the nine tribes, and/or

ritance of two tribes and a half-tribe

the Levites he gave none inheritance 
among them.

Caleb ohtaineth Hebron. 

4 For f^the children of Joseph were 
two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim : 
therefore they gave no part unto the 
Levites in the land, save cities to 
dwell in, with their suburbs for their 
cattle, and for their substance. 

5 ^As the Lord commanded Mo- 
ses, so the children of Israel did, and 
they divided the land. 

6 ^ Then the children of Judah 
came unto Joshua in Gilgal : and 
Caleb the son of Jephunneh the ^Ke- 
nezite said unto him, Thou know- 
est sthe thing that the Lord said 
unto Moses the man of God concern- 
ing me and thee ''in Kadesh-barnea. 

7 Forty years old was I when Mo- 
ses the servant of the Lord 'sent me 
from Kadesh-barnea to espy out the 
land ; and I brought him word again 
as it was in my heart. 

8 Nevertheless, ^ my brethren that 
went up with me made the heart of 
the people melt: but I wholly i fol- 
lowed the Lord my God. 

9 And Moses sware on that day, 
saying, "'Surely the land '^whereon 
thy feet have trodden shall be thine 
inheritance, and thy children's for 
ever; because thou hast wholly fol- 
lowed the Lord my God. 

10 And now, behold, the Lord 
hath kept me alive, "as he said, these 
forty and five years, even since the 
Lord spake this Vv ^rd unto Moses, 
while the children o/Israel f wander- 
ed in the wilderness: and now,lo, I 
am this day fourscore and five years 
old. 

11 P As yet I am as strong this day, 
as I was in the day that Moses sent 
me : as my strength was then, even 
so is my strength now, for war, both 
ito go out, and to come in, 

12 Now therefore give me this 
mountain, whereof the Lord spake 
in that day; for th(iu heardest in 
that day how '^the Anakims ivere 
there, and that the cities v)ere great 
and fenced: ^if so be the Lord will 
be with me, then 'I shall be able to 
drive them out, as the Lord said. 

13 And Joshua "blessed him, -^and 
gave unto Caleb the son of Jephun- 
neh, Hebron for an inheritance. 

14 y Hebron therefore became the 
inheritance of Caleb the son of Je- 
phunneh the Kenezite unto this day ;

of Machir, the son of IManasseh, had 
no sons, but daughters : and these 
are the names of his daughters, Mah- 
lah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and 
Tirzah. 

4 And they came near before ' Elea- 
zar the priest, and before Joshua the 
son of Nun, and before the princes, 
saying, '<^The Lord commanded Mo- 
ses to give us an inheritance among 
our brethren : therefore according 
to the commandment of the Lord 
he gave them an inheritance among 
the brethren of their father. 

5 And there fell ten portions to 
Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead 
and Bashan, which were on the other 
side Jordan; 

6 Because the daughters of Manas- 
seh had an inheritance among his 
sons : and the rest of Manasseh's 
sons had the land of Gilead. 

7 lIAnd the coast of Manasseh was 
from Asher to 'Michmethah, that 
lieth before Shechem ; and the bor- 
der went along on the right hand un- 
to the inhabitants of En-tappuah. 

8 Now Manasseh had the land of 
Tappuah : but "' Tappuah on the 
border of Manasseh belonged to the 
children of Ephraim : 

9 And the coast descended " unto 
the II river Kanah, southward of the 
river. "These cities of Ephraim «?-e 
among the cities of Manasseh : the 
coast of Manasseh also iras on the 
north side of the river, and the out- 
goings of it were at the sea: 

10 Southward it u-as Ephraim's, 
and northward it teas Manasseh's, 
and the sea is his border ; and they 
met together in Ashcr on the north, 
and in Issachar on the cast. 

1 1 I' And Manasseh had in Issachar 
and in Asher, 'iBeth-shean and her 
towns, and Ibleam and her tOAvns, 
and the inhabitants of Dor and her 
towns, and the inhabitants of En 
dor and her towns, and the inhabit- 
ants of Taanach and her towns, and 
the inhabitants of Megiddo and her 
towns, even three countries. 

12 Yet ""the children of Manasseh 
could not drive out the inhabitants 
0^ those cities ; but the Canaanites 
would dwell in that land.

The tabernacle is set up at Shilo/i, 
that they put the Canaanites to « tri- 
bute ; but did not utterly drive them 
out. 

14 ^And the children of Joseph 
spake unto Joshua, saying. Why hast 
thou given me but "one lot and one 
portion to inherit, seeing I am ^ a 
great people, forasmuch as the Lord 
hath blessed me hitherto ? 

15 And Joshua answered them. If 
thou be a great people, then get thee 
up to the \\ood-cou7iiri/, and cut 
down for thyself there in the land of 
the Perizzites and of the || giants, if 
mount Ephraim be too narrow for 
thee. 

16 And the children of Joseph said. 
The hill is not enough for us : and 
all tiie Canaanites that dwell in the 
land of the valley have y chariots of 
iron, both they who arc of Beth- 
shean and her towns, and they who 
are ^of the valley of Jezreel. 

17 And Joshua spake unto the 
house of Joseph, even to Ephraim 
and to Manasseh, saying. Thou art 
a great people, and hast great pow- 
er: thou shah not have one lot only: 

18 But the mountain shall be thine; 
for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it 
down : and the out -goings of it shall 
be thine: for thou shalt drive out 
the Canaanites, =* though they have 
iron chariots, and though they be 
strong.

AND the whole congregation of 
the children of Israel assembled 
together ^at Shiloh, and ''set up the 
tabernacle of the congregation there : 
and the land was subdued before 
them. 

2 And there remained among the 
children of Israel seven tribes, which 
had not yet received their inherit- 
ance. 

3 And Joshua said unto the chil- 
dren of Israel, <^How long are ye 
slack to go to possess the land which 
the Lord God of your fathers hath 
given you ? 

4 Give out from among you three 
men for each tribe : and I will send 
them, and they shall rise, and go 
through the land, and describe it ac-

The lot and border of 

cording to the inheritance of them, 
ind they shall come again to me. 

5 And they shall divide it into 
seven parts: <^Judah shall abide in 
their coast on the south, and ^ the 
nouse of Joseph shall abide in their 
coast on the north. 

6 Ye shall therefore describe the 
land into seven parts, and bring the 
description hither to me, '"that 1 may 
cast lots for you hei-e before the 
Lord our God. 

7 sBut the Levites have no part 
among you ; for the priesthood of 
the Lord 2S their inheritance. '^And 
Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe 
of Manasseh, have received their in 
heritance beyond Jordan on the east, 
which Moses the servant of the Lord 
gave them. 

8 TI And the men arose, and went 
away: and Joshua charged them that 
went to describe the land, saying, 
Go, and walk through the land, and 
describe it, and come again to me, 
that I may here cast lots for you be- 
fore the Lord in Shiloh. 

9 And the men went and passed 
through the land, and described it 
by cities into seven parts in a book, 
and came again to Joshua to the 
host at Shiloh. 

10 H And Joshua cast lots for them 
in Shiloh before the Lord : and there 
Joshua divided the land unto the 
children of Israel according to their 
divisions. 

1 1 t And the lot of the tribe of 
the children of Benjamin came up 
according to their families : and the 
coast of their lot came forth between 
the children of Judah and the chil- 
dren of Joseph. 

12 'And their border on the north 
side was from Jordan ; and the bor- 
der went up to the side of Jericho 
on the north side, and went up 
through the mountains westward ; 
and the goings out thereof were at 
the wilderness of Beth-aven. 

13 And the border went over from 
thence toward Luz, to the side of 
Luz C^ which is Beth-el) southward ; 
and the border descended to Ataroth-

was the west quarter. 

1 5 And the south quarter was from 
the end of Kirjath-jearim, and the 
border went out on the west, and 
went out to " the well of waters of 
Nephtoah: 

16 And the border came down to 
the end of the mountain that lieth

and the out-goings of the border 
were at the north fbay of the salt- 
sea at the south end of Jordan. This 
was the south coast. 

20 And Jordan was the border of it 
on the east side. This was the in- 
heritance of the children of Benja- 
min, by the coasts thereof round a-

too much for them : "^therefore the 
children of Simeon had their inherit-

the children of Zebulun according 
to their families: and the border of 
their inheritance was unto Sarid :

Joshua^ s inheritance. 

48 This is the inheritance of the 
tribe of the children of Dan accord- 
ing to their families, these cities with 
their villages, 

49 ^ When they had made an end 
of dividing the land for inheritance 
by their coasts, the children of Israel 
gave an inheritance to Joshua the 
son of Nun among them : 

50 According to the word of the 
Lord they gave him the city which" 
he asked, even mTimnath-"serah in 
mount Ephraim : and he built the 
city, and dwelt therein. 

51 o These are the inheritances 
which Eleazarthe priest, and Joshua 
the son of Nun, and the heads of the 
fathers of the tribes of the children 
of Israel, divided for an inheritance 
by lot Pin Shiloh before the Lord, 
at the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation. So they made an end 
of dividing the country. 

CHAP. XX. 

1 God commandeth, 7 and the children of Israel 
appoint the six cities of refuge. 

THE Lord also spake unto Jo- 
shua, saying, 

2 Speak to the children of Israel, 
saying, ^Appoint out for you cities 
of refuge, whereof I spake unto you 
by the hand of Moses : 

3 That the slayer that killeth any 
person unawares and unwittingly, 
may flee thither: and they shall be 
your re fugefrom the avenger of blood. 

4 And when he that doth flee unto 
one of those cities shall stand at the 
entering of ^ the gate of the city, and 
shall declare his cause in the ears of 
the elders of that city, they shall take 
him into the city unto them, and give 
him a place, that he may dwell among 
them. 

5 '^And if the avenger of blood 
pursue after him, then they shall not 
deliver the slayer up into his hand ; 
because he smote his neighbour un- 
wittingly, and hated him not before- 
time. 

6 And he shall dwell in that city, 
t^until he stand before the congre- 
gation for judgment, and until the 
death of the high priest that shall be 
in those days : then shall the slayer 
return, and come unto his own city, 
and unto his ow^n house, unto the 
city from whence he fled.

6 So Joshua ^blessed them, and 
sent them away ; and they went un- 
to their tents. 

7 II Now to the one half of the tribe 
of Manasseh, Moses had given pos- 
session in Bashan : s but unto the other 
half thereof gave Joshua among their 
brethren on this side Jordan west- 
ward. And when Joshua sent them 
away also unto their tents, then he 
blessed them, 

8 And he spake unto them, saying, 
Return with much riches unto your 
tents, and with very much cattle, with 
silver, and with gold, and with brass, 
and with iron, and with very much 
raiment: ''divide the spoil of your ! )^-Numb. 31 
enemies with your brethren. 

9 If And the children of Reuben, 
and the children of Gad, and the half- 
tribe of Manasseh returned, and de- 
parted from the children of Israel out 
of Shiloh, which is in the land of 
Canaan, to go unto 'the country of 
Gilead, to the land of their posses- 
sion, whereof they were possessed, 
according to the word of tlie Lord 
by the hand of Moses. 

10 Tf And when they came unto the 
borders of Jordan, that are in the 
land of Canaan, the children of Reu- 
ben, and the children of Gad, and the 
half-tribe of Manasseh built there an 
altar by Jordan, a great altar to see 
to. 

11 UAnd the children of Israel 
''heard say. Behold, the children of 
Reuben, and the children of Gad, and 
the half-tribe of Manasseh, have built 
an altar over against the land of Ca- 
naan, in the borders of Jordan, at the 
passage of the children of Israel. 

12 And when the children of Israel 
heard of it, 'the whole congregation 
of the children of Israel gathered 
themselves together at Shiloh, to go 
up 'to war against them. 

13 And the children of Israel "^sent

The other tribes offended thereat. ■' 

out all the tribes of Israel; and "each 
one was a head of the house of their 
fathers among the thousands of Is- 
rael. 

15 TFAnd they came unto the chil- 
dren of Reuben, and to the children 
of Gad, and to the half-tribe of INIa- 
nasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and 
they spake with them, saying, 

16 Thus saith the whole congrega- 
tion of the Lord, What trespass is 
this that ye have committed against 
the God of Israel, to turn away this 
day from following the Lord, in 
that ye have builded you an altar, 
Pthat ye might rebel this day against 
the Lord? 

17 Is the iniquity lof Peor too lit- 
tle for us, from which we are not 
cleansed until tliis day, although 
there was a plague in the congrega- 
tion of the Lord, 

18 But that ye must turn away this . 
day from following the Lord ? and 
it will be, seeing ye rebel to-day 
against the Lord, that to-morrow 
■"he will be wroth with the whole 
congregation of Israel. 

19 Notwithstanding, if the land of 
your possession be unclean, tlien pass 
ye over unto the land of the posses- 
sion of the Lord, Mvherein the 
Lord's tabernacle dwelleth.and take 
possession among us : but rebel not 
against the Lord, nor rebel against 
us, in building you an altar besides 
the altar of the Lord our God. 

20 'Did not Achan the son of Ze- 
rah commit a trespass in the accursed 
thing, and wrath fell on all the con- 
gregation of Israel ? and that man 
perished not alone in his iniquity. 

21 TIThen the children of Reuben, 
and the children of Gad, and the half- 
tribe of Manasseh answered, and 
said unto the heads of the thousands 
of Israel, 

22 The Lord " God of gods, the 
Lord God of gods, he ^knoweth, 
and Israel he shall know; \iitbe in re- 
bellion, or if in transgression against 
the Lord, (save us not this day,) 

23 That we have built us an altar 
to turn from following the Lord, or 
if to offer thereon burnt-offering, or 
meat-offering, or if to offer peace-of- 
ferings thereon, let the Lord himself 
y require it; 

263 



Tlie deputies are satisfied. 

24 And if we have not rather done 
it for fear of this thing, saying, fin 
time to come youi- children might 
speak unto our children, saying, 
What have ye to do with the Lord 
God of Israel? 

•35 For the Lord hath made Jordan 
a border between us and you, ye chil- 
dren of Reuben and children of Gad : 
ye have no part in the Lord. So shall 
your children make our children 
cease from fearing the Lord. 

26 Therefore we said, Let us now 
prepare to build us an altar, not for 
bumt-oftering, nor for sacrifice : 

27 But tliat it may 6e ^a witness 
between us, and you, and our gene- 
rations after us, that we might ^^do; 
the sei-vice of the Lord before him ; 
with our burnt-offerings, and with 
our sacrifices, and with our peace-of- 
fermgs ; that your children may not 
say to our children in time to come, 
Ye have no part in the Lord. 

28 Therefore said we, that it shall 
be, when they should so say to us or 
to our generations in time to come, 
that we may say again, Behold the 
pattern of the altar of the Lord, 
which our fathers made, not for burnt- 
offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is 
a witness between us and you. 

29 God forbid that we should rebel 
against the Lord, and turn this dav 
from following the Lord, ^ to build 
an altar for burnt-offerings, for meat- 
offerings, or for sacrifices, besides the 
altar of the Lord our God that is 
before his tabernacle, 

30 11 And when Phinehas the priest, 
and the princes of the congregation, 
and heads of the thousands oOsrael 
which were with him, heard the words 
that the children of Reuben, and the 
children of Gad, and the children of 
Manasseh spake, jit pleased them. 

31 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar 
the priest said unto the children of 
Reuben, and to the children of Gad. 
and to the children of Manasseh, 
This day we perceive that the Lord 
is c among us, because ye have not 
committed this trespass against the 
Lord: fnow ye have delivered the 
children of Israel out of the hand of 
the Lord.

after that the Lord ^had given 
rest unto Israel from all their ene-

2 And Joshua *= called for all Israel, 
and for their elders, and for their 
heads, and for their judges, and for 
their officers, and said unto them, I 
am old and stricken in age : 

3 And ye have seen all that the 
Lord your God hath done unto all 
these nations because of you; for the 
"^LoRD your God is he that hath 
fought for you. 

4 Behold, ^I have divided unto you

be an inheritance for your tribes, 
from Jordan, with all the nations 
that I have cut off, even unto the 
great sea j westward. 

5 And the Lord your God, f he 
shall expel them from before you, 
and drive them from out of your 
sight ; and ye shall possess their

promised unto you. 

6 'iBe ye therefore very courageous 
to keep and to do all that is written 
in the book of the law of Moses, ' that 
ye turn not aside therefrom to the

7 That ye ^come not among these

people. Thus saith the Lord God of 
Israel, ^ Your fathers dwelt on the 
other side of the flood in old time, 
even Terah, the father of Abraham, 
and the father of Nachor : and ^they 
served other gods. 

3 And 'Ttook your father Abraham 
from the other side of the flood, and 
led him tlu'oughout all the land of 
Canaan, and multiplied liis seed, and 
ggave him Isaac. 

4 And Igave unto Isaac ''Jacob and 
Esau : and I gave unto 'Esau mount 
Seir, to possess it ; ^ but Jacob and 
his children went down into Egypt. 

5 'I sent Moses also and Aaron, 
and ™ I plagued Egypt, according to 
that which I did among them : and 
afterward I brought you out. 

G And I "brought your fathers out 
of Egypt : and °ye came unto the 
sea; Pand the Egyptians pursued 
after your fathers with chariots and 
horsemen unto the Red sea. 

7 And when they q cried unto the 
Lord, "■ he put darkness between you 
and the Egyptians, •'' and brought the 
sea upon them, and covered them ; 
and 'your eyes have seen what I 
have done in Egypt : and ye dwelt 
in the wilderness "a long season. 

8 And I brought you into the land 
of the Amorites, which dwelt on the 
other side Jordan ; ^ and they fought 
with you : and I gave them into 
your hand, that ye might possess 
their land ; and I destroyed them 
from before you. 

9 Then J'Balak the son of Zippor, 
king of Moab, arose and wan-ed a- 
gainst Israel, and ^ sent and called 
Balaam the son of Beor to curse you: 

10 f'But I would not hearken unto 
Balaam; ^ therefore he blessed you 
still : so I delivered you out of his 
hand.

came unto Jericho : and '' the men of

the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the 
Jebusites, and I delivered them into 
your hand. 

12 And e I sent the hornet before 
you, which drave them out from be- 
fore you, even the two kings of the 
Amorites : but ^not with thy sword, 
nor with thy bow. 

13 And I have given you a land 
for which ye did not labour, and 
scities which ye built not, and ye 
dwell in them ; of the vineyards and 
olive-yards which ye planted not do 
ye eat. 

14 l^hjvfow therefore fear the Lord, 
and serve him in ' sincerity and in 
truth; and ^put away the gods 
which your fathers served on the 
other side of the flood, and ^in Egypt; 
and serve ye the Lord. 

15 And if it seem evil unto you to 
serve the Lord, ™ choose you this 
day whom ye will serve, whether 
" the gods wliich your fathers served 
that were on the other side of the 
flood, or ° the gods of the Amorites 
in whose land ye dwell : Pbut as for 
me and my house, we will serve the 
Lord. 

16 And the people answered, and 
said, God forbid that we should for- 
sake the Lord, to serve other gods ; 

17 For the Lord our God, he it is 
that brought us up, and our fathers, 
out of the land of Egypt, from the 
house of bondage, and which did 
those great signs in our sight, and 
preserved us in all the way wherein 
we went, and among all the people 
through whom we passed : 

18 And the Lord drave out from 
before us all the people, even the 
Amorites which dwelt in the land: 
i/«ere/b?-e will we also serve the Lord ; 
for he is our God. 

19 And Joshua said unto the peo- 
ple, qYe cannot serve the Lord : 
for he is a ""holy God : he is ^ a jea- 
lous God ; 'he will not forgive your 
transgressions, nor your sins. 

20 " If ye forsake the Lord, and 
serve strange gods, ^ then he will turn 
and do you hurt, and consume you, 
after that he hath done you good. 

21 And the people said unto Jo- 
shua, Nay ; but we will serve the 
Lord.

Joshua's age, death, and burial. 

22 And Joshua said unto the peo- 
ple. Ye are witnesses against your- 
selves that y ye have chosen you the 
Lord, to serve him. And they said, 
We are witnesses. 

23 Now therefore ^ put away (said 
he) the strange gods which are among 
you, and incline your heart unto the 
Lord God of Israel. 

24 And the people said unto Jo- 
shua, The Lord our God will we 
serve, and his voice will we obey. 

25 So Joshua '"^made a covenant 
with the people that day, and set 
them a statute and an ordinance ''in 
Shechem. 

26 1[ And Joshua ^ wrote these 
words in the book of the law of God, 
and took '^ a great stone, and ^ set it 
up there f under an oak that was by 
the sanctuary of the Lord. 

27 And Joshua said unto all the 
people. Behold, this stone shall be 
sa witness unto us; for ^'it hath 
heard all the words of the Lord 
which he spake unto us : it shall be 
therefore a witness unto you, lest ye 
deny your God. 

28 So 'Joshua let the people de- 
part, every man unto his inheritance. 

29 ^ i^And it came to pass after 
these things, that Joshua the son of 
Nun the servant of the Lord died, 
being a hundred and ten years old. 

30 And they buried him in the bor- 
der of his inheritance in ' Timnath- 
serah, which is in mount Ephraim, 
on the north side of the hillofGaash. 

31 And ™ Israel served the Lord 
all the days of Joshua, and all the 
days of the elders that f overlived 
Joshua, and which had "known all 
the works of the Lord that he had 
done for Israel. 

32 ^ And o the bones of Joseph, 
which the children of Israel brought 
up out of Egypt, buried they in 
Shechem, in a parcel of ground 
p which Jacob bought of the sons of 
Hamor the father of Shechem for a 
hundred II pieces of silver ; and it be- 
came the inheritance of the children 
of Joseph. 

33 And Eleazar the son of Aaron 
died ; and they buried him in a hill 
that pertained to q Phinehas his son, 
which was given him in mount E- 
phraim.

I The ads of Judak and, Simeon. 4 Adoni-bezek 
justly requited. 8 Jerusalem taken. 10 Hebron 
taken. 11 Othniel hath Aclisah to uife for taking 
of Debir. \& The Kenites dnell in Jiidah. 17 
Hormah, Gaza, Askelon and Ekrou taken. 21 
The acts of Benjamin. 22 Of the liouse of Jo- 
seph, who take Beth-el. 30 Of Zebulun. 31 Of 
Asher. 33 Of Naphtali. 34 Of' Dan. 

NOW after the death of Joshua 
it came to pass, that the chil- 
dren of Israel ^ asked the Lord, say- 
ing, Who shall go up for us against 
the Canaanites first to fight against 
them? 

2 And the Lord said, ^ Judah shall 
go up: behold, I have delivered the 
land into his hand. 

3 And Judah said unto Simeon his 
brother, Come up with me into my 
lot, that we may fight against the 
Canaanites; and <^I likewise will go 
Avith thee into thy lot. So Simeon 
went with him. 

4 And Judah went up, and the 
Lord delivered the Canaanites and 
the Perizzites into their hand: and 
they slew of them in '^Bezek ten 
thousand men. 

.5 And they found Adoni-bezek in 
Bezek : and they fought against him, 
and they slew the Canaanites and 
the Perizzites. 

6 But Adoni-bezek fled ; and they 
pursued after him, and caught him, 
and cut off his thumbs and his great 
toes. 

7 And Adoni-bezek said. Three- 
score and ten kings, having f their 
thumbs and their great toes cut off, 

II gathered their meat under my ta- 
ble; <^ as I have done, so God hath 
requited me. And they brought him 
to Jerusalem, and there he died. 

8 (Now •"the children of Judah had 
fought against Jerusalem, and had 
taken it, and smitten it with the edge 
of the sword, and set the city on fire.) 

9 II « And afterward the children of 
Judah went down to fight against the 
Canaanites that dwelt in the moun- 
tain, and in the south, and in the 
II valley. 

10 And Judah went against the Ca- 
naanites that dwelt in Hebron : (now 
the name of Hebron before was 
hKirjath-arba:) and they slew She- 
shai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

«and served Baal and Ashtaroth. 

14 TftAnd the anger of the Lord 
was hot against Israel, and he "de- 
livered them into the hands of spoil- 
ers that spoiled them, and -''he sold 
them into the hands of their enemies 
round about, so that they ) could not 
any longer stand before their ene- 
mies. 

15 Whithersoever they went out, 
the hand of the Lord was against 
them for evil, as the Lord had said, 
and ^as the Lord had sworn unto 
them: and they were greatly dis- 
tressed. 

1 6 H Nevertheless ^the Lord raised 
up judges, which f delivered them 
out of the hand of those that spoil- 
ed them. 

17 And yet they would not hearken 
unto their judges, but they ''went a 
whoring after other gods, and bowed 
tiiemselves unto them: they turned 

■quickly out of the way which their 
fathers walked in, obeying the com- 
mandments of the Lord; hiU they 
did not so. 

18 And when the Lord raised them 
up judges, then «the Lord was with 
the judge, and delivered them out 
of the hand of their enemies all the 
days of the judge : (>J for it repented 
the Lord because of their groanings 
by reason of them that oppressed 
them and "exed them.) 

19 And it came to pass, ^when the 
judge was dead, tliat they returned, 
and II corrupted themselves more than 
their fathers, in following other gods 
to serve them, and to bow down un 
to them ; they f ceased not from their 
own doings, nor from their stubborn 
way.

NOW these are '"^ the nations which 
the Lord left, to prove Israel 
by them, (even as many of Israel as 
had not known all the wars of Ca- 
naan ; 

2 Only that the generations of the 
children of Israel might know to 
teach them war, at the least such as 
before knew nothing thereof;) 

3 Namehj, ^five lords of the Phi- 
listines, and all the Canaanites, and 
the Sidonians, and the Hivites that 
dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount 
Baal-hermon unto the entering in of 
Ilamath. 

4 "^And they were to prove Israel 
by them, to know whether they would 
hearken unto the commandments of 
the Lord, which he commanded their 
fathers by the hand of Moses. 

5 *1I '' And the children of Israel 
dwelt among the Canaanites, Hit- 
tites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, 
and Hivites, and Jebusites : 

6 And *= they took their daughters 
to be their wives, and gave their 
daughters to their sons, and served 
their gods. 

7 ^And the children of Israel did 
evil in the sight of the Lord, and 
forgat the Lord their God, ?and 
served Baalim, and ^the groves. 

8 T[ Therefore the angerof the Lord 
was hot against Israel, and he ' sold 
them into the hand of i^ Chushan-ri- 
shathaim king of f Mesopotamia :

Othniel delivereth Israel. 

and the children of Israel served 
Chushan-rishathaim eight years. 

9 And when the children of Israel 
'cried unto the Lord, the Lord 
"1 raised up a f deliverer to the chil- 
dren of Israel, who delivered them, 
even ° Othniel the sonof Kenaz, Ca- 
leb's younger brother. 

10 xind othe Spirit of the Lord 
t came upon him, and he judged Is- 
rael, and went out to war : and the 
Lord delivered Chushan-rishathaim 
king of f Mesopotamia into his hand ; 
and his hand prevailed against Chu- 
shan-rishathaim. 

11 And the land had rest forty 
years : and Othniel the son of Ke- 
naz died. 

12 Up And the children of Israel 
did evil again in the sight of the 
Lord: and the Lord strengthened 
nEglon the king of Moab against Is- 
rael, because they lad done evil in 
the sight of the Lord. 

13 And he gathered unto him the 
children of Ammon and •'Amalek, 
and went and smote Israel, and pos- 
sessed sthe city of palm-trees. 

14 So the children of Israel ' served 
Eglon the king of Moab eighteen 
years. 

15 But when the children of Israel 
"cried unto the Lord, the Lord 
raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the 
son of Gera, ||a Benjamite, a man 
t left-handed: and by him the chil- 
dren of Israel sent a present unto 
Eglon the king of Moab. 

16 But Ehud made him a dagger 
which had two edges, of a cubit 
length : and he did gird it under his 
raiment upon his right thigh. 

17 And he brought the present un- 
to Eglon king of Moab : and Eglon 
ivas a very fat man. 

18 And when he had made an end 
to offer the present, he sent away the 
people that bare the present. 

19 But he himself turned again 
''from the |1 quarries that were by 
Giigal, and said, I have a secret er- 
rand unto thee, O king: who said. 
Keep silence. And all that stood by 
him went out from him, 

20 And Ehud came unto him ; and 
he was sitting in fa summer-parlour, 
which he had for himself alone : and 
Ehud said, I have a message from

his seat. 

21 And Ehud put forth his left 
hand, and took the dagger from his 
right thigh, and thrust it into his belly : 

22 And the haft also went in after 
the blade : and the fat closed upon 
the blade, so that he could not draw 
the dagger out of his belly ; and |1 the 
dirt came out. 

23 Then Ehud went forth through 
the porch, and shut the doors of the 
parlour upon him, and locked them. 

24 When he was gone out, his ser- 
vants came ; and when they saw that, 
behold, the doors of the parlour we7-e 
locked, they said, Surely he |1 cover- 
eth his feet in his summer-chamber. 

25 And they tarried till they were 
ashamed: and behold, he opened not 
the doors of the parlour, therefore 
they took a key and opened them : 
and behold, their lord was fallen 
down dead on the earth. 

26 And Ehud escaped while they 
tarried ; and passed beyond the quar- 
ries, and escaped unto Seirath. 

27 And it came to pass when he 
was come, that yhe blew a trumpet in 
the ^mountain of Ephraim, and the 
children of Israel went down with 
him from the mount, and he before 
them. 

28 And he said unto them, Follow

after him, and took ''the fords of 
Jordan toward Moab, and suffered 
not a man to pass over. 

29 And they slew of Moab at that 
time about ten thousand men, all 
t lusty, and all men of valour: and 
there escaped not a man. 

30 So Moab was subdued that day

Israel oppressed by Jabin and Sisera. CHAP 

2 And the Lord ^sold them into 
the hand of Jabin king of Canaan 
that reigned in '^Hazor, the captain 
of whose host was ^ Sisera, which 
dwelt in *=Harosheth of tiie Gentiles. 

3 And the children of Israel cried 
unto the Lord ; for he had nine 
hundred *"chariots of iron ; and twen- 
ty 3'ears e he mightily oppressed the 
children of Israel. 

4 TI And Deborah, a prophetess, the 
wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel 
at that time. 

5 *> And she dwelt under the palm- 
tree of Deborah, between Ramah and 
Beth-el in mount Ephraim : and the 
children of Israel came up to her 
for judgment. 

6 And she sent and called ' Barak 
the son of Abinoamout ^of Kedesh- 
naphtali, and said unto him, Hath 
not the Lord God of Israel com- 
manded,sayi7ig. Go, and draw toward 
mount Tabor, and take with thee 
ten thousand men of the children of 
Naphtali, and of the children of Ze- 
bulun ; 

7 And 'I will draw unto thee, to 
the ""river Kishon, Sisera the captain 
of Jabin's army, with his chariots 
and his multitude ; and I will deliver 
him into thy hand ? 

8 And Barak said unto her. If 
thou wilt go with me, then I will go : 
but if thou wilt not go with me, tfien 
I will not go. 

9 And she said, I will surely go 
* with thee : notwithstandingthe jour- 
ney that thou takcst shall not be for 
thine honour ; for the Lord shall " sell 
Sisera into the hand of a woman. 
And Deborah arose, and went with 
Barak to Kedesh. 

10 H And Barak called "Zebulun 
and Naphtali to Kedesh ; and he 
went up with ten thousand men p at 
his feet : and Deborah went up with 
him. 

11 Now Heber ithe Kenite, ii-)iich 
was of the children of ""Hobab the 
father-in-law of Moses, had severed 
himself from the Kenites, and pitch 
ed his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, 
s which is by Kedesh.

all his chariots, even nine hundred 
chariots of iron, and all the people 
that were with him, from Harosheth 
of the Gentiles unto the river of Ki- 
shon. 

14 And Deborah said unto Barak, 
Up ; for this is the day in which the 
Lord hath delivered Sisera into thy 
hand : *is not the Lord gone out be- 
fore thee ? So Barak went down 
from mount Tabor, and ten thou- 
sand men after him. 

15 And "the Lord discomfited Si- 
sera, and all his chariots, and all his 
host, with the edge of the sword be- 
fore Barak ; so that Sisei-a lighted 
down ofl' his chariot, and fled away 
on his feet. 

16 But Barak pursued after the 
chariots, and after the host, unto 
Harosheth of the Gentiles : and all 
the host of Sisera fell upon the edge 
of the sword ; and there was not fa 
man left. 

17 Howbeit, Sisera fled away on 
his feet to the tent of Jael the wife 
of Heber the Kenite : for there was 
peace between Jabin the king of 
Hazor and the house of Heber the 
Kenite. 

18 II And Jael went out to meet 
Sisera, and said unto him. Turn in, 
my lord, turn in to me; fear not. 
And when he had turned in unto her 
into the tent, she covered him with 
a II mantle. 

19 And he said unto her, Give me, 
I pray thee, a little water to drink ; 
for I am thirsty. And she opened^ a 
bottle of milk, and gave him drink, 
and covered him. 

20 Again he said unto her. Stand in 
the door of the tent, and it shall be, 
when any man doth come and inquire 
of thee, and say, Is there any man 
here ? that thou shalt say. No. 

21 Then Jael Heber's wife >' took a 
nail of the tent, and ftook a ham- 
mer in her hand, and went softly un- 
to him, and smote the nail into his 
temples, and fastened it into the 
ground : for he was fast asleep, and 
weary. So he died. 

22 And behold, as Barak pursued 
Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, 
and said unto him. Come, and I will 
shew thee the man whom thou seek- 
est. And when he came into her 

271 



The song of 

tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the 

nail loas in his temples. 

23 So ^ God subdued on that day 
Jabin the king of Canaan before the 
children of Israel. 

24 And the hand of the children of 
Israel f prospei-ed, and prevailed a- 
gainst Jabin the king of Canaan, un- 
til they had destroyed Jabin king of 
Canaan.

The song of Deborah and Barak. 

THEN =1 sang Deborah and Barak 
the son of Abinoam on that day, 
saying, 

2 Praise ye the Lord for the ^ a- 
venging of Israel, '^when the people 
willingly offered themselves. 

3 "^Hear, O ye kings ; give ear, O 
ye princes ; I, even I, will sing unto 
the Lord ; I will sing praise to the 
Lord God of Israel. 

4 Lord, ^when thou wentest out 
of Seir, when thou marchedst out of 
the field of Edom, 'the earth trem- 
bled, and the heavens dropped, the 
clouds also dropped water. 

5 s The mountains f melted from 
before the Lord, even ^ that Sinai 
from before the Lord God of Is- 
rael. 

6 In the days of ' Shamgar the son 
of Anath, in the days of ''Jael, Uhe 
highways were unoccupied, and the 
f travellers walked throughf by-ways. 

7 The inhabitants of the villages 
ceased, they ceased in Israel, until 
that I Deborah arose, that I arose 
™a mother in Israel. 

8 They " chose new gods ; then 
was war in the gates : ^ was there a 
shield or spear seen among forty 
thousand in Israel 1 

9 My heart is toward the governors 
of Israel that P offered themselves 
willingly among the people : Bless 
ye the Lord. 

10 II 1 Speak, ye nhat ride on white 
asses, ^ye that sit in judgment, and 
walk by the way. 

1 1 They that are delivered from the 
noise of archers in the places of 
drawing water, there shall they re- 
hearse the t "^righteous acts of the 
Lord, even the righteous acts toward 
the inhabitants of his villages in Is- 
rael : then shall the people of the 
Lord go down to the gates.

left no sustenance for Israel, neither 
II sheep, nor ox, nor ass. 

5 For they came up with their cat- 
tle and their tents, and they came 
oas grasshoppers for multitude; for 
both they and their camels were with- 
out number: and they entered in- 
to the land to destroy it. 

6 And Israel was greatly impover- 
ished because of the Midianites; and 
the children of Israel ^ cried unto tlie 
Lord. 

7 TIAnd it came to pass, when the 
children of Israel cried unto the 
Lord because of the Midianites, 

8 That the Lord sent f a prophet 
unto the children of Israel, which 
said unto them. Thus saith the Lord 
God of Israel, I brought you up from 
Egypt, and brought you forth out of 
the house of bondage ; 

9 And I delivered you out of the 
hand of the Egyptians, and out of 
the hand of all that oppressed you, 
and 'drave them out from before 
you, and gave you their land ; 

10 And I said unto you, I am the 
Lord your God ; ^fear not the gods 
of the Amorites, in whose land ye 
dwell: but ye have not obeyed my 
voice. 

11 "HAnd there came an angel of 
the Lord, and sat under an oak 
which was in Ophrah, that jjcrtained 
unto Joash 'the Abi-ezrite: and his 
son "'Gideon threshed wheat by the 
wine-press, f to hide it from the JNIi- 
(lianites. 

12 And the "angel of the Lord 
appeared unto hiin, and said unto 
him. The Lord is °\\\\h. thee, thou 
mighty man of valour. 

13 And Gideon said unto him, O 
my Lord, if the Lord be with us, 
why then is ail this befallen us? and 
P where he all his miracles i which 
our fathers told us of, saying. Did 
not the Lord bring us up from 
Egypt/ but now the Lord hath '^for- 
saken us, and delivered us into the 
hands of the Midianites. 

14 And the Lord looked upon him, 
and said, "Go in this thy might, and 
thou shalt save Israel from the hand 
of the Midianites: Miave not I sent 
thee ? 

15 And he said unto him, O my 
Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? 

273 



Gideon destroyeth BaaTs altar. 

behold, "fmy family j'spoor in Ma- 
nasseh, and I am the least in my fa- 
ther's house. 

16 And the Lord said unto him, 
^Surely I will be with thee, and 
thou shalt smite the Midianites as 
one man. 

17 And he said unto him, If now I 
have found grace in thy sight, then 
yshew me a sign that thou talkest 
with me. 

18 z Depart not hence, I pray thee, 
until I come unto thee, and bring 
forth my || present, and set it before 
thee. And he said, I will tarry until 
thou come again. 

lOTF^And Gideon went in, and 
made ready f a kid, and unleavened 
cakes of an ephah of flour : the flesh 
he put in a basket, and he put the 
broth in a pot, and brought it out 
unto him under the oak, and pre- 
sented it. 

20 And the angel of God said un- 
to him. Take the flesh and the un- 
leavened cakes, and "^lay them upon 
this rock, and =pour out the broth. 
And he did so. 

21 II Then the angel of the Lord 
put forth the end of the stafl' that 
was in his hand, and touched the 
flesh and the unleavened cakes; and 
"^ there rose up fire out of the rock, 
and consumed the flesh and the un- 
leavened cakes. Then the angel of 
the Lord departed out of his sight. 

22 And when Gideon <= perceived 
that he ivas an angel of the Lord, 
Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God ! 
'for because I have seen an angel 
of the Lord face to face. 

23 And the Lord said unto him, 
e Peace he unto thee; fear not: thou 
ghalt not die. 

, 24 Then Gideon built an altar there 
iunto the Lord, and called it || Jeho- 
jvah-shalom : unto this day it is yet 
^in Ophrali of the Abi-ezrites. 
' 25 lAnd it came to pass the same 
night, that the Lord said unto him. 
Take thy father's young bullock, 
II even the second bullock of seven 
years old, and throw down the altar 
of Baal that thy father hath, and 
'cut down the grove that is by it:

take the second bullock, and offer a

27 Then Gideon took ten men of 
his servants, and did as the Lord 
had said unto him: and so it was, 
because he feared his father's house- 
hold, and the men of the city, that 
he could not do it by day, that he 
did it by night. 

28 *1[ And when the men of the city 
arose early in the morning, behold, 
the altar of Baal was cast down, and 
the grove was cut down that was by 
it, and the second bullock was offer- 
ed upon the altar that was built. 

29 And they said one to another. 
Who hath done this thing? And 
when they inquired and asked, they 
said, Gideon the son of Joash hath 
done this thing. 

30 Then the men of the city said 
unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that 
he may die: because he hath cast 
down the altar of Baal, and because 
he hath cut down the grove that was 
by it. 

31 And Joash said unto all that 
stood against him. Will ye plead for 
Baal? will ye save him? he that will 
plead for him, let him be put to death 
whilst it is yet morning: if he he a 
god, let him plead for himself, be- 
cause one hath cast down his altar. 

32 Therefore on that day he called 
him Ijkjerubbaal, saying. Let Baal 
plead against him, because he hath 
thrown down his altar. 

33 II Then all khe Midianites, and 
the Amalekites, and the children of 
the east were gathered together, and 
went over, and pitched in ™ the val-

38 And it was so : for he rose up 
early on the morrow, and thrust the 
fleece together, and wringed the 
dew out of the fleece, a bowl-full of 
water. 

39 And Gideon said unto God, iLet 
not thine anger be hot against me, 
and I will speak but this once: Let 
me prove, I pray thee, but this once 
with the fleece ; let it now be dry- 
only upon the fleece, and upon all 
the ground let there be dew. 

40 And God did so that night : for 
it was dry upon the fleece only, and 
there was dew on all the ground.

THEN =^ Jerubbaal (who is Gide

with him, rose up early and pitched 
beside the well of Harod : so that the 
host of the Midianites were on the 
north side of them by the hill of 
Moreh, in the valley. 

2 And the Lord said unto Gideon, 
The people that are with thee are 
too many for me to give the Midian 
ites into their hands, lest Israel 
''vaunt themselves against me. say 
ing, Mine own hand hath saved me. 

3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in 
the ears of the people, saying, ^ Who- 
soever is fearful and afraid, let him 
return and depart early from mount 
Gilead. And there returned of the 
people twenty and two thousand 
and there remained ten thousand. 

4 And the Lord said unto Gideon, 
The people are yet too many; bring 
them down unto the water, and I 
will try them for thee there ; and it 
shall be that of whom I say unto 
thee, This shall go with thee, the 
same shall go with thee ; and of 
whomsoever 1 say unto thee, This 
shall not go with thee, the same 
shall not go.

6 And the number of them that 
lapped, putting their hand to their 
mouth, were three hundred men : but 
all the rest of the people bowed down 
upon their knees to drink water. 

7 And the Lord said unto Gideon, 
^ By the three hundred men that lap- 
ped will I save you, and deliver the 
Midianites into thy hand : and let 
all the other people go every man 
unto his place. 

8 So the people took victuals in 
their hand, and their trumpets : and 
he sent all the rest of Israel every 
man unto his tent, and retained those 
three hundred men. And the host of 
Midian was beneath him in the val- 
ley. 

9 II And it came to pass the same 
<= night, that the Lord said unto him, 
Arise, get thee down unto the host ;' 
for I have delivered it into thy 
hand. 

10 But if thou fear to go down, go 
thou with Phurah thy servant down 
to the host : 

1 1 And thou shalt 'hear what they 
say ; and afterward shall thy hands 
be strengthened to go down unto 
the host. Then went he down with 
Phurah his ser\'ant unto the outside 
of the II armed men that were in the 
host. 

12 And the Midianites, and the 
Amalekites, fe'and all the children of 
the east, lay along in the valley like 
grasshoppers for multitude ; and their 
camels wei-e without number, as the 
sand by the sea-side for multitude. 

13 And when Gideon was come, 
behold, there was a man that told a 
dream unto his fellow, and said. Be- 
hold, I dreamed a dream, and lo, a 
cake of barley-bread tumbled into the 
host of Midian, and came unto a tent, 
and smote it that it fell, and over- 
turned it that the tent lay along. 

14 And his fellow answered, and 
said. This is nothing else save the 
sword of Gideon the son of Joash, 
a man of Israel : for into his hand 
hath God delivered Midian, and all 
the host. 

15 II And it was so, when Gideon 
heard the telling of the dream, and 

275 



The Midianiies are. pul tojiight. 

fthe interpretation thereof, that he 
worshipped, and returned into the 
host of Israel, and said. Arise ; for 
the Lord hath dehvered into your 
hand the host of Midian. 

16 And he divided the three hun- 
dred men into three companies, and 
he put f a trumpet in every man's 
hand, with empty pitchers, and 
II lamps within the pitchers. 

17 And he said unto them, Look 
on me, and do likewise: and be- 
hold, when I come to the outside of 
the camp, it shall be that as I do, 
so shall ye do. 

18 When I blow with a trumpet, I 
and all that are with me, then blow 
ye the trumpets also on every side 
of all the camp, and say. The sword 
of the Lord, and of Gideon. 

19 H So Gideon, and the hundred 
men that were with him, came imto 
the outside of the camp in the be- 
ginning of the middle watch ; and 
they had but newly set the watch : 
and they blew the trumpets, and 
brake the pitchers that were in their 
hands. 

20 And the three companies blew 
the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, 
and held the lamps intheir left hands, 
and the trumpets in their right hands 
to blow withal: and they cried. The 
sword of the Lord, and of Gideon. 

21 And they ^ stood every man in 
his place round about the camp ; ' and 
all the host ran, and cried, and fled. 

22 And the three hundred '^blew 
the trumpets, and 'the Lord set 
"'every man's swoi-d against his fel- 
low, even throughout all the host : 
and the host fled to Beth-shittah || in 
Zererath, and to the f border of 
Abel-meholah, unto Tabbath. 

23 And the men of Israel gathered 
themselves together out of Naphtali, 
and out of Asher, and out of all Ma- 
iiasseh, and pursued after the Mi- 
dianites. 

24 *1[ And Gideon sent messengers 
throughout all "mount Ephraim, say- 
ing. Come down against the Midian- 
ites, and take before them the wa- 
ters unto Beth-barah and Jordan. 
Then all the men of Ephraim ga- 
thered themselves together, and 
°took the waters unto p Beth-barah 
and Jordan.

ND ^the men of Ephraim said 
unto him, -f Why hast thou 
served us thus, that thou calledst us 
not when thou wentest to fight with 
the Midianites 1 and they did chide 
with him f sharply. 

2 And he said unto them, What 
have I done now in comparison of 
you? Is not the gleaning of the 
grapes of Ephraim better than the 
vintage of Abi-ezer? 

3 ^God hath delivered into your 
hands the princes of Midian, Oreb 
and Zeeb : and what was I able to 
do in comparison of you? Then their 
f Ganger was abated toward him, 
when he had said that. 

4 ^ And Gideon came to Jordan, 
and passed over, he, and the three 
hundred men that were with him, 
faint, yet pursuing them. 

5 And he said unto the men of 
^ Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves 
of bread unto the people that follow 
me : for they be faint, and I am pur- 
suing after Zebah and Zalmunna, 
kings of Midian. 

6 TI And the priftces of Succoth 
said, ^Are the hands of Zebah and 
Zalmunna now in thy hand, that ^we 
should give bread unto thine army ? 

7 And Gideon said. Therefore when 
the Lord hath delivered Zebah and 
Zalmunna into my hand, sthen I 
will f tear your flesh with the thorns 
of the wilderness and with briers. 

8 11 And he went up thence '' to 
Penuel, and spake unto them like- 
wise : and the men of Penuel an- 
swered him as the men of Succoth 
had answered him. 

9 And he spake also unto the men 
of Penuel, saying. When I 'come

again in peace, •=! will break down 
this tower. 

10 ^Now Zebah and Zalmunna 
were in Karkor, and their hosts with 
them, about fifteen thousand men. 
all that were left of 'all the hosts of 
the children of the east : for there 
fell Ij a hundred and twenty thousand 
men that drew sword. 

11 IF And Gideon went up by the 
way of them that dwelt in tents on 
the east of ™Nobah and Jogbehah, 
and smote the host: for the host was 
"secure. 

12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna 
fled, he pursued after thern, and 'took 
the two kings of Midian, Zebah and 
Zalmunna, and f discomfited all the 
host. 

13 HAnd Gideon the son of Joash 
returned from battle before the sun 
was up, 

14 And caught a young man of the 
men of Succoth, and inquired of him : 
and lie f described unto him the 
princes of Succoth, and the elders 
thereof, even threescore and seven- 
teen men. 

15 And he came unto the men of 
Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and 
Zalmunna, with whom ye did Pup- 
braid me, saying, jire the hands of 
Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy 
hand, that we should give bread un- 
to thy men that are weary i 

IG 'lAnd he took the elders of the 
city,and thorns ©fthe wilderness, and 
briers, and with them he f taught the 
men of Succoth. 

17 "^ And he beat down the tower 
of «Penuel, and slew the men of the 
city. 

18 HThen said he unto Zebah and 
Zalmunna, What manner of men 
were iJicy whom ye slew at 'Tabor? 
And they answered. As thou art, so 
were they; each one f resembled the 
children of a king. 

19 And he said. They xoere my 
brethren, even the sons of my mo- 
ther : as the Loud liveth, if ye had 
saved them alive, I would not slay 
you. 

20 And he said unto Jether his first- 
born. Up, and slay them. But the 
youth drew not his sword : for he 
feared, because he was yet a youth.

taken prisoners, and slain. 
Rise thou, and fall upon us : for as 
the man is, so is his strength. And 
Gideon arose, and "slew Zebah and 
Zalmunna, and took away the || or- 
naments that wei-e on their camels' 
necks. 

22 K Then the men of Israel said 
unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both 
thou, and thy son, and thy son's son 
also : for thou hast delivered us from 
the hand of Midian. 

23 And Gideon said unto them, I 
will not rule over you, neither shall 
my son rule over you : ^ the Lord 
shall rule over you. 

24 Tt And Gideon said unto them, 
I would desire a request of you, that 
you would give me every man the 
ear-rings of his prey. (For they had 
golden ear-rings, >' because they were 
Ishmaelites.) 

25 And they answered. We will will- 
ingly give them. And they spread a 
garment, and did cast therein every 
man the ear-rings of his prey. 

26 And the weight of the golden 
ear-rings that he requested, was a 
thousand and seven hundred shekels 
of gold; besides ornaments, and l|col- 
lars, and purple raiment that was on 
the kings of Midian, and besides the 
chains that wei-e about their camels' 
necks. 

27 And Gideon ^made an ephod 
thereof, and put it in his city, even 
='in Ophrah : and all Israel i^went 
thither a whoring after it : which 
thing became ^a snare unto Gideon, 
and to his house. 

28 UThus was Midian subdued be- 
fore the children of Israel, so that 
they lifted up their heads no more. 
i^And the country was in quietness 
forty years in the days of Gideon. 

29 TIAnd Jerubbaal the son of Joash 
went and dwelt in his own house. 

30 And Gideon had e threescore 
and ten sons f of his body begotten: 
for he had many wives. 

31 fAnd his concubine tliat was in 
Shechem, she also bare him a son, 
whose name he f called Abimelech. 

32 HAnd Gideon the 5on of Joash 
died ein a good old sge, and was 
buried in the sepulchre of Joash his 
father, ''in Ophrah of the Abi-ez- 
rites. 

33 And it came to pass 'as soon as 

277 



Abimelech is made king. 

Gideon was dead, that the children 
of Israel turned again, and ''went 
a whoring after Baalim, ^and made 
Baal-berith their god. 

34 And the children of Israel "re- 
membered not the Lord their God, 
who had delivered them out of the 
hands of all their enemies on every 
side: 

35 " Neither shewed they kindness 
to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, 
Gideon, according to all the goodness 
which he had shewed unto Israel. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 Abimelech hy conspiracy with the Sltechemiies, 
and murder of his brethren, is made king-. 7 
Jotham by a parable rebuketh them, and fore- 
telleth their ruin. 22 Gaal conspireih leiththe 
Shechemiies against him. 30 Zebul revcalcth 
it. 34 Abimelech overcometh them, and sovreth 
the city with salt. 46 He burneth the hold of 
the god Berith. 50 M Thebcz he is slain by 
a piece of a millstone. 56 Jotham's curse is 
fulfilled. 

AND Abimelech the son of Je- 
rubbaal went to Shechem unto 
^his mother's brethren, and com- 
muned with them, and with all the 
family of the house of his mother's 
father, saying, 

2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of 
all the men of Shechem, f Whether 
is better for you, either that all the 
sons of Jerubbaal, which are ''three- 
score and ten persons, reign over 
you, or that one reign over you? re- 
member also that I a?ra ^your bone 
and your flesh. 

3 And his mother's brethren spake 
of him in the ears of all the men of 
Shechem all these words : and their 
hearts inclined fto follow Abime- 
lech ; for they said, He is our ^ bro- 
ther. 

4 And they gave him threescore and 
ten pieces of silver out of the house 
of e Baal-berith, wherewith Abime- 
lech hired ^vain and light persons, 
which followed him. 

5 And he went unto his father's 
house gat Ophrali, and ^ slew his bre- 
thren t'ne sons of Jerubbaal, being 
threescore and ten persons, upon one 
stone : notwithstanding, yet Jotham 
the youngest son of Jerubbaal was 
left ; for he hid himself. 

6 And all the men of Shechem ga- 
thered togetlier, and all the house of 
Millo, and went and made Abime- 
lech king, t by the plain of the pil- 
lar that was in Shechem.

Jotham's parable of the trees. 

7 ^And when they told it to Jo- 
tham, he went and stood in the top 
of 'mount Gerizim, and Hfted up his 
voice, and cried, and said unto them. 
Hearken unto me, ye men of She- 
chem, that God may hearken unto 
you. 

8 ''The trees went forth on a time 
to anoint a king over them ; and they 
said unto the olive-tree, 'Reign thou 
over us. 

9 But the olive-tree said unto them. 
Should I leave my fatness, ™ where- 
with by me they honour God and 
man, and f go to be promoted over 
the trees? 

10 And the trees said to the fig-tree, 
Come thou, and reign over us. 

1 1 But the fig-tree said unto them. 
Should I forsake my sweetness, and 
my good fruit, and go to be promoted 
over the trees? 

12 Then said the trees unto the 
vine, Come thou, and reign over 
us. 

13 And the vine said unto them. 
Should I leave my wine, ° which 
cheereth God and man, and go to be 
promoted over the trees? 

14 Then said all the trees unto the 
II bramble, Come thou, and reign over 
us. 

15 And the bramble said unto the 
trees, If in truth ye anoint me king- 
over you, then come and put your 
trust in my « shadow: and if not, 
p let fire come out of the bramble, 
and devour the q cedars of Lebanon. 

16 Now therefore, if ye have done 
truly and sincerely, in that ye have 
made Abimelech king, and if ye have 
dealt well with Jerubbaal and his 
house, and have done unto him ''ac- 
cording to the deserving of his hands: 

17 (For my father fought for you, 
and j-adventured his life far, and de- 
livered you out of the hand of Mi- 
dian: 

18 sAnd ye are risen up against 
my father's house this day, and have 
slain his sons, threescore and ten 
persons, upon one stone, and have 
made Abimelech, the son of his maid- 
servant, king over the men of She- 
chem, because he is your brother:) 

19 If ye then have dealt truly and 
sincerely with Jerubbaal and with 
his house this day, then 'rejoice ye

The Shechemites consp'we against 

in Abimelecli, and let him also re- 
joice in you: 

20 But if not, " let fire come out 
from Abimelech.and devour the men 
of Shechem, and the house of IMiilo: 
and let fire come out from the men 
of Shechem, and from the house ot 
Millo, and devour Abimelech. 

21 And Jotham ran away, and fled, 
and went to ^Beer, and dwelt there, 
for fear of Abimelech his brother. 

22 H When Abimelech had reigned 
three years over Israel, 

23 Then yGod sent an evil spirit 
between Abimelech and the men of 
Shechem ; and the men of Shechenj 
'dealt treacherously with Abime- 
lech : 

24 '^ That the cruelty done to the 
tlireescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal 
might come, and their blood be laid 
upon Abimelech their brother which 
slew them, and upon the men of 
Shechem which f aided him in the 
killing of his brethren. 

25 And the men of Shechem set 
liers.in wait for him in the top of the 
jnountains, and they robbed all that 
came along that way by them: and 
it was told Abimelech. 

2G And Gaal the son of Ebed came 
with his brethren, and went over to 
Shechem: and the men of Shechem 
put their confidence in him. 

27 And they went out into the 
fields, and gathered their vineyards, 
and trode the grapes, and made 
Ij merry, and went into ^ the house 
of their god, and did eat and drink, 
and cursed Abimelech. 

28 And Gaal the son of Ebed said, 
•^Who is Abimelech, and who is She- 
chem, that we should serve him? is 
not he the son of Jerubbaal ? and 
Zebul his officer? serve the men of 
•'Hamor the father of Shechem: for 
why should we serve him ? 

29 And <^ would to God this people 
were under my hand! then would I 
remove Abimelech. And he said to 
Abimelech, Increase thine ariiiy, and 
come out. 

30 "if And when Zebul the ruler of 
the city heard the words of Gaal the 
son of Ebed, his anger was || kindled. 

31 And he sent messengers unto 
Abimelech f privily, saying. Behold,

Abimelech, who overcomeih them. 
ihren, be come to Shechem ; and 
behold, they fortify the city against 
thee. 

32 Now therefore up by night, thou, 
and the people that is with thee, and 
lie in wait in the field : 

33 And it shall be, that in the morn- 
ing, as soon as the sun is up, thou 
shalt rise early, and set upon the city: 
and behold, whe7i he and the people 
that is with him come out against 
thee, then mayest thou do to them 
fas thou shalt find occasion. 

34 "lIAnd Abimelech rose up, and 
all the people that ivct'c with him, by 
night, and they laid wait against 
Shechem in four companies. 

35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went 
out, and stood in the entering of the 
gate of the city: and Abimelech rose 
up, and the people that icei-e with 
him, from lying in wait. 

36 And when Gaal saw the people, 
he said to Zebul, Behold, there come 
people down from the top of the 
mountains. And Zebul said unto 
him. Thou seest the shadow of the 
mountains as if they were men. 

37 And Gaal spake again, and said, 
See, there come people down by the 
t middle of the land, and another 
company come along by the plain of 
II Meonenim. 

38 Then said Zebul unto him, 
Where is now thy mouth, where- 
with thou ^saidst, Who is Abime- 
lech, that we should serve him? is 
not this the people that thou hast 
despised? go out, I pray now, and 
fight with them. 

39 And Gaal went out before the 
men of Shechem, and fought with 
Abimelech. 

40 And Abimelech chased him, and 
he fled before him, and many were 
overthrown and wounded, even unto 
the entering of the gate. 

41 And Abimelech dwelt at Aru- 
mah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and 
his brethren, that they should not 
dwell in Shechem. 

42 And it came to pass on the mor- 
row, that the people went out into 
the field ; and they told Abimelech. 

43 And he took the people, and di- 
vided them into three companies, and 
laid wait in the field, and looked, and 
behold, the people were come forth 

279 



up a- 



Ahimelech is slain at Thebez. 

out of the city ; and he rose 
gainst them, and smote them. 

44 And Abimelech, and the com- 
pany that was with him, rushed for- 
ward, and stood in the entering of 
the gate of the city : and the two 
other companies ran upon all the 
people that were in the fields, and 
slew them. 

45 And Abimelech fought against 
the city all that day; and a he took 
the city, and slew the people that 
was therein, and ^beat down the 
city, and sowed it with salt. 

46 H And when all the men of the 
tower of Shechem heard that, they 
entered into a hold of the house 'of 
the god Berith. 

47 And it was told Abimelech, that 
all the men of the tower of Shechem 
were gathered together. 

48 And Abimelech gat him up to 
mount kZalmon, he and all the peo- 
ple that were with him; and Abime- 
lech took an axe in his hand, and cut 
down a bough from the trees, and 
took it, and laid it on his shoulder, 
and said unto the people that were 
with him, What ye have seen f me 
do, make haste, and do as I have 
done. 

49 And all the people likewise cut 
down every man his bough, and fol- 
lowed Abimelech, and put them to 
the hold, and set the hold on fire up- 
on them : so that all the men of the 
tower of Shechem died also, about a 
thousand men and women. 

50 1 Then went Abimelech to The- 
bez, and encamped against Thebez, 
and took it. 

51 But there was a strong tower 
within the city, and thither fled all 
the men and women, and all they of 
the city, and shut it to them, and gat 
them up to the top of the tower. 

52 And Abimelech came unto the 
tower, and fought against it, and 
went hard unto the door of the tow- 
er to burn it with fire. 

53 And a certain woman 'cast a 
piece of a millstone upon Abime- 
lech's head, and all to break his skull. 

54 Then ■" he called hastily unto 
the young man his armour-bearer, 
and said unto him, Draw thy sword, 
and slay me, that men say not of me, 
A woman slew him. And his young

the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a 
man of Issachar; and he dwelt in 
Shamir in mount Ephraim. 

2 And he judged Israel twenty and 
three years, and died, and was buri-

two years.

hot against Israel, and he ^sold them

8 And that year they vexed and 
f oppressed the children of Israel 
eighteen years, all the children of 
Israel that were on the other side 
Jordan in the land of the Amorites, 
which is in Gilead.

of Ammon, "and from the Philis-

deliver you no more.

unto the Lord, We have sinned:

father's house ; for thou art the son 
of a strange woman. 

3 Then Jephthah fled f from his 
brethren, and dwelt in the land of 
Tob : and there w'ere gathered <^vain 
men to Jephthah, and went out with 
him. 

4T[And it came to pass fin process 
of time, that the children of Ammon 
made war against Israel. 

5 And it was so, that when the chil- 
dren of Ammon made war against Is- 
rael, the elders of Gilead went to fetch 
Jephthah out of the land of Tob : 

6 And they said unto Jephthah, 
Come, and be our captain, that we 
may fight with the children of Am- 
mon. 

7 And Jephthah said unto the el- 
ders of Gilead, '^Did not ye hate 
me, and expel me out of my father's 
house ? and why are ye come unto 
me now when ye are in distress? 

8 *^And the elders of Gilead said 
unto Jephthah, Therefore we ^turn 
again to thee now, that thou mayest 
go with us, and fight against the 
children of Ammon, and be sour 
head over all the inhabitants of Gi- 
lead. 

9 And Jephthah said unto the el- 
ders of Gilead, If ye bring me home 
again to fight against the children of 
Ammon, and the Lord deliver them 
before me, shall I be your head ? 

10 And the elders of Gilead said 
unto Jephthah, ''The LoRof be wit- 
ness between us, if we do not so ac- 
cording to thy words. 

11 Then Jephthah went with the 
eldersof Gilead, and the peoplemade 
him ' head and captain over them : 
and Jephthah uttered all his words 
^ before the Lord in Mizpeh. 

12 "HAnd Jephthah sent messen- 
gers unto the king of the children of 
Ammon, saying. What hast thou to 
do with me, that thou art come a- 
gainst me to fight in my land ? 

13 And the king of the children of 
Ammon answered unto the messen- 
gers of Jephthah, 'Because Israel 
took away my land, when they came 
up out of Egypt, from Arnon even 
unto '^Jabbok, and unto Jordan: 
now therefore restore those lands 
again peaceably. 

281 



Jephthah's fruitless embassy 

14 And Jephthah sent messengers 
again unto the king of the children 
of Ammon : 

' 15 And said unto him, Thus saith 
Jephthah, " Israel took not away the 
land of Moab, nor the land of the 
children of Ammon: 

16 But when Israel came up from 
Egypt, and » walked through the 
wilderness unto the Red sea, and 
P came to Kadesh ; 

17 Then q Israel sent messengers 
unto the king of Edom, saying, Let 
me, I pray thee, pass through thy 
land : •" but the king of Edom would 
not hearken thereto. And in like 
manner they sent unto the king of 
Moab ; but he would not consent. 
And Israel = abode in Kadesh. 

18 Then they went along through 
the wilderness, and * compassed the 
land of Edom, and the land of Moab, 
and "came by the east side of the 
land of Moab, ^and pitched on the 
other side of Arnon, but came not 
within the border of Moab : for Ar- 
non was the border of Moab. 

19 Andy Israel sent messengers un- 
to Sihon king of the Amorites, the 
king of Heshbon ; and Israel said 
unto him, ^Let us pass, we pray thee, 
through thy land unto my place. 

20 ^ But Sihon trusted not Israel to 
pass through his coast : but Sihon 
gathered all his people together, and 
pitched in Jahaz, and fought against 
Israel. 

21 And the Lord God of Israel de- 
livered Sihon and all his people into 
the hand of Israel, and they ^ smote 
them: so Israel possessed all the land 
of the Amorites, the inhabitants of 
that country. 

22 And they possessed <= all the 
coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon 
even unto Jabbok, and from the 
wilderness even unto Jordan. 

23 So now the Lord God of Israel 
hath dispossessed the Amorites from 
before his people Israel, and should- 
est thou possess it? 

24 Wilt not thou possess that which 
^Chemosh thy god giveth thee to 
possess? So whomsoever ''the Lord 
our God shall drive out from before 
us, them will we possess. 

25 And now art thou any tiling bet- 
ter than fBalak the son of Zippor

26 While Israel dwelt in ?Heshbon

towns, and in all the cities that he 
along by the coasts of Arnon, three 
hundred years ? why therefore did ye 
not recover them within that time ? 

27 Wherefore I have not sinned a- 
gainst thee, but thou doest me wrong 
to war against me : the Lord 'the 
Judge i^ be judge this day between the 
children of Israel and the children of 
Ammon. 

28 Ilowbeit, the king of the chil- 
dren of Ammon hearkened not unto 
the words of Jephthah which he sent 
him. 

29 ^ Then 'the Spirit of the Lord 
came upon || Jephthah, and he passed 
over Gilead, and Manasseh, and pass- 
ed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from 
Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over un- 
to the children of Ammon. 

30 And Jephthah ™ vowed a vow 
unto the Lord, and said. If thou 
shalt without fail deliver the children 
of Ammon into my hands, 

31 Then it shall be, that f whatso- 
ever Cometh forth of the doors of my 
house to meet me, when I return 
in peace from the children of Am- 
mon, " shall surely be the Lord's, 
II ° and I will offer it up for a burnt- 
offering, 

32 *II So Jephthah passed over unto 
the children of Ammon to fight a- 
gainst them : and the Lord deliver- 
ed them into his hands. 

33 And he smote them from Aroer 
even till thou come to P Minnith, even 
twenty cities, and unto 1| the plain 
of the vineyards, with a very great 
slaughter. Thus the children of Am- 
mon were subdued before the chil- 
dren of Israel. 

34 •[[ And Jephthah came to q Miz- 
peh unto his house, and behold, ''his 
daughter came out to meet him with 
timbrels and with dances : and she 
was his only child ; || f besides her 
he had neither son nor daughter. 

35 And it came to pass, when he 
saw her, that he ^ rent his clothes, and 
said, Alas, my daughter ! thou hast 
brought me very low, and thou art 
one of them that trouble me : for I

thave opened my mouth unto the

36 And she said unto him, My fa- 
ther, if thou hast opened thy mouth 
unto the Lord, ^do to me according 
to that which hath proceeded out of 
thy mouth ; forasmuch as J'the Lord 
hath taken vengeance for thee of 
thine enemies, even of the children 
of Ammon. 

37 And she said unto her father, 
Let this thing be done for me : Let 
me alone two months, that I may 
f go up and down upon the moun- 
tains, and bewail my virginity, I and 
my fellows. 

38 And he said, Go. And he sent 
her away foi- two months : and she 
went with her companions, and be- 
wailed her virginity upon the moun- 
tains. 

39 And it came to pass at the end 
of two months, that she returned un- 
to her father, "who ^ did with her ac- 
cording to his vow which he had 
vowed : and she knew no man. And 
it was a || custom in Israel,

7 But he said unto me. Behold, thou

neither eat any unclean thing : for 
the child shall be a Nazarite to God 
from the womb to the day of his

band was not with her.

ran, and shewed her husband, and 
said unto him, Behold, the man hath

11 And Manoah arose, and went 
after his wife, and came to the man, 
and said unto him^ Art thou the man 
that spakest unto the woman ? And 
he said, I am.

13 And the angel of the Lord said 
unto Manoah, Of all that I said un- 
to the woman, let her beware. 

14 She may not eat of any thing 
that Cometh of the vine, " neither let 
her drink wine or strong drink, nor 
eat any unclean thing: all that I 
commanded her let her observe. 

15 11 And Manoah said unto the 
angel of the Lord, I pray thee, J^let 
us detain thee, until we shall have 
made ready a kid f for thee. 

16 And the angel of the Lord said 
unto Manoah, Though thou detain 
me, I will not eat of thy bread : and 
if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering 
thou must offer it unto the Lord. 
For Manoah knew not that he was 
an angel of the Lord. 

17 And Manoah said unto the an- 
gel of the Lord, What is thy name, 
that when thy sayings come to pass, 
we may do thee honour ? 

18 And the angel of the Lord said 
unto him, °Why askest thou thus 
after my name, seeing it is \\ secret ? 

19 So Manoah took a kid, with a 
meat-offering, P and offered it upon a 
rock unto the IjOrd ; and the angel 
did wondrously, and Manoah and 
his wife looked on. 

20 For it came to pass, when the 
flame went up toward heaven from 
off the altar, that the angel of the 
Lord ascended in the flame of the 
altar, and Manoah and his wife 
looked on it, and qfell on their faces 
to the ground. 

21 But the angel of the Lord did 
no more appear to Manoah and to 
his wife. '' Then Manoah knew that 
he was an angel of the Lord. 

22 And Manoah said unto his wife, 
^We shall surely die, because we 
have seen God. 

23 But his wife said unto him, If 
the Lord were pleased to kill us, he 
would not have received a burnt-of- 
fering and a meat-offering at our 
hands, neither would he have shewed 
us all these ifA'm^s,norwouldasatthis

Timnath, and ^ saw a woman 
in Timnath of the daughters of the

2 And he came up, and told his fa-

therefore <=get her for me to wife. 

3 Then his father and his mother 
said unto him, Is titcrc never a wo-

Samson said unto his father, Get her

4 But his father and his mother

Philistines had dominion over Israel.

his father and his mother, to Tim-

Timnath : and behold, a young lion 
roared f against him. 

G And '' the Spirit of the Lord 
came mightily upon him, and he 
rent him as he would have rent a

7 And he went down, and talked 
with the woman; and she pleased 
Samson well. 

8 H And after a time he returned to 
take her, and he turned aside to see 
the carcass of the lion : and behold, 
there loas a swarm of bees and honey 
in the carcass of the lion. 

9 And he took thereof in his hands,

a feast ; for so used the young men 
to do. 

1 1 And it came to pass, when they 
saw him, that they brought thirty- 
companions to be with him. 

12 TI And Samson said unto them, 
I will now i put forth a riddle unto 
you : if ye can certainly declare it 
me i^ within the seven days of the 
feast, and find it out, then I will 
give you thirty || sheets and thirty 
' change of garments : 

13 But if ye cannot declare itme, 
then shall ye give me thirty sheets 
and thirty change of garments. And 
they said unto him, Put forth thy 
riddle, that we may hear it. 

14 And he said unto them. Out of 
the eater came forth meat, and out 
of the strong came forth sweetness. 
And they could not in tliree days 
expound the riddle. 

15 And it came to pass on the se- 
venth day, that they said unto Sam- 
son's wife, ""Entice thy husband, 
that he may declare unto us the rid- 
dle, " lest we burn thee and tiiy fa- 
thers house with fire : have ye call- 
ed us f to take that we have ? is it 
not so ? 

IC And Samson's wife wept before 
him and said, ° Thou dost but hate 
me, and lovest me not : thou hast 
put forth a riddle unto the children 
of my people, and hast not told it me. 
And he said unto her. Behold, I have 
not told it my father nor my mother, 
and shall I tell it thee ? 

17 And she wept before him || the 
seven days, while their feast lasted : 
and it came to pass on the seventh 
day, that he told her, because she 
lay sore upon him : and she told the 
riddle to the children of her people. 

18 And the men of the city said 
unto him on the seventh day before 
the sun w^ent down. What is sweeter 
than honey? and what is stronger 
than a lion ? And he said unto them, 
If ye had not ploughed with my hei- 
fer, ye had not found out my riddle. 

19 IT And Ptlie Spirit of the Lord

CHAP. XV. 

1 Samson is denied his n-ife. 3 He burnetii the

His wife and her father are burnt by the Phi- 
listines. 7 Samson smitcth them hip and thigh.

tcith a jaiv-bone. 18 God maketh the fountain 
En-hakkorefor him in Lehi. 

BUT it came to pass within a while cir. 1140. 
after, in the time of wheat-har- 
vest, that Samson visited his wife 
with a kid ; and he said, I will go in 
to my wife into the chamber. But 
her father would not sufter him to 
go in. 

2 And her father said, I verily 
thought that thou hadst utterly 
^hated her; therefore I gave her to 
thy companion : is not her younger 
sister fairer than she ?f take her, I 
pray thee, instead of her. 

3 ^And Samson said concerning 
them, II Now shall I be more blame- 
less than the Philistines, though I do 
them a displeasure. 

4 And Samson went and caught 
three hundred foxes, and took || fire- 
brands, and turned tail to tail, and 
put a fire-brand in the midst between 
two tails. 

5 And when he had set the brands 
on fire, he let them go into the stand- 
ing corn of the Philistines, and burnt 
up both the shocks, and also the 
standing corn, with the vineyards 
and olives. 

6 If Then the Philistines said. Who 
hatii done this ? And they answered, 
Samson, the son-in-law of the Tim- 
nite, because he had taken his wife, 
and given her to his companion. 
''And the Philistines came up, and b d.. 14. 15 
burnt her and her father v.'ith fire.

Though ye have done this, yet M'ill I 
be avenged of you, and after that I 
will cease. 

8 And he smote them hip and thigh 
with a great slaughter. And he went 
down and dwelt in the top of the

10 And the men of Judah said, 
Why are ye come up against us? 
And they answered. To bind Sam- 
son are we come up, to do to him as 
he hath done to us, 

11 Then three thousand men of Ju- 
dah f went to the top of the rock 
Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest 
thou not that the Philistines are <^ ru- 
lers over us? what is this thati\io\i 
hast done unto us? And he said unto 
them. As they did unto me, so have 
I done unto them, 

12 And they said unto him, We are 
come down to bind thee, that we 
may deliver thee into the hand of the 
Philistines. And Samson said unto 
them. Swear unto me, that ye will 
not fall upon me yourselves. 

13 And they spake unto him, say- 
ing, No ; but we will bind thee fast, 
and deliver thee into their hand : but 
surely we will not kill thee. And 
they bound him with two new cords, 
and brought him up from the rock. 

14 ■[[ Andyv\\en he came unto Lehi, 
the Philistines shouted against him: 
and ethe Spirit of the Lord came 
mightily upon him, and the cords 
that were upon his arms became as 
flax that was burnt with fire, and his 
bands f loosed from off his hands. 

15 And he found a f new jaw-bone 
of an ass, and put forth his hand, and 
took it, and fslew a thousand men 
therewith. 

16 And Samson said. With the 
jaw-bone of an ass, f heaps upon 
heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I 
slain a thousand men. 

17 And it came to pass when he 
had made an end of speaking, that 
he cast away the jaw-bone out of his 
hand, and called that place || Ramath- 
lehi. _ , 

18 HAnd he was sore athirst, and 
called on the Lord, and said, s Thou 
hast given this great deliverance in- 
to the hand of thy servant : and now 
shall I die for thirst, and fall into the 
hand of the uncircumcised ? 

19 But God clave a hollow place 
that ivas in || the jaw, and there came 
water thereout ; and when he had 
drunk, '' his spirit came again, and 
he revived. Wherefore he called the 
name thereof || En-hakkore, which is 
in Lehi unto this day.

THEN went Samson to Gaza, and 
saw there fa harlot, and went 
in unto her. 

2 And it was told the Gazites, say- 
ing, Samson is come hither. And 
they a compassed him in, and laid 
wait for him all night in the gate of 
the city, and were f quiet all the 
night, saying, In the morning when 
it is day we shall kill him. 

3 And Samson lay till midnight, 
and arose at midnight, and took the 
doors of the gate of the city, and 
the two posts, and went away with 
them, t bar and all, and put them 
upon his shoulders, and carried them 
up to the top of a hill that is before

4 H And it came to pass afterward, 
that he loved a woman || in the valley 
of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. 

5 And the lords of the Philistines 
came up unto her, and said unto her, 
''Entice him, and see wherein his 
great strength lieth, and by what 
means we may prevail against him, 
tiiat we may bind him to || afflict him : 
and we will give thee every one of us

Tell mc, I pray thee, wherein thy 
great strength lieth, and wherewith 
thou mightest be bound to afflict 
thee. 

7 And Samson said unto her. If they 
bind me with seven || f green withs, 
that were never dried, then shall I be 
weak, and be as f another man. 

8 Then the lords of the Philistines 
jrought up to her seven green withs, 
which had not been dried, and she 
bound him with them. 

9 (Now there were men lying in 
wait, abiding with her in the cham-

unto him. The Philistines be upon

in wait abiding in the chamber.) And 
he brake them from off his arms like

told me lies : tell me wherewith thou 
mightest be bound. And he said un- 
to her, If thou weavest the seven 
locks of my head with the web. 

14 And she fastened it with the pin, 
and said unto him, The Philistines be 
upon thee, Samson. And he awaked 
out of his sleep, and went away with 
the pin of the beam, and with the

15 H And she said unto him, ^How 
canst thou say, I love thee, when 
thine iieart?s not with me? Thou hast 
mocked me these three times, and 
hast not told me wherein thy great 
strength lieth. 

16 And it came to pass when she 
pressed him daily with her words, 
and urged him, so that his soul was 
f vexed unto death ; 

17 That he "^ told her all his heart, 
and said unto her, <= There hath not 
come a razor upon my head ; for I 
have been a Nazarite unto God from 
my mother's womb: if I be shaven, 
then my strength will go from me, 
and I shall become Aveak, and be like 
any other man. 

18 And when Delilah saw that he 
had told her all his heart, she sent 
and called for the lords of the Philis- 
tines, saying. Come up this once, for 
he hath shewed me all his heart. 
Then the lords of the Philistines came 
up unto her, and brought money in

him down to Gaza, and bound him 
with fetters of brass; and he did 
grind in the prison-house. 

22 Howbeit the hair of his head 
began to grow again || after he was 
shaven. 

23 Then the lords of the Philistines 
gathered them together, for to offer a 
great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, 
and to rejoice : for they said, Our 
god hath delivered Samson our ene- 
my into our hand. 

24 And when the people saw him, 
they Upraised their god : for they 
said. Our god hath delivered into 
our hands our enemy, and the de- 
stroyer of our country ; f which slew 
many of us. 

25 And it came to pass, when their 
hearts were 'merry, that they said, 
Call for Samson that he may make 
us sport. And they called for Sam- 
son out of the prison-house ; and he 
made fthem sport: and they set him 
between the pillars. 

26 And Samson said unto the lad 
that held him by the hand, Suffer 
me that I may feel the pillars where- 
upon the house standeth, that I may 
lean upon them. 

27 Now the house was full of men 
and women : and all the lords of the 
Philistines were there : andthere were 
upon the ^roof about three thousand 
men and women, that beheld while 
Samson made sport. 

28 And Samson called unto the

member me, I pray thee,and strength- 
en me, I pray thee, only this once, O 
God, that I may be at once avenged

himself with all his might ; and the 
house fell upon the lords, and upon 
all the people that loere therein. So 
the dead which he slew at his death 
were more than they which he slew 
in his life. 

31 Then his brethren and all the 
house of his father came down, and 
took him, and brought him up, and

stored, his mother maketh images, 5 and he or- 
naments for them. 6 He hireth a Levite to be 
his priest. 

AND there was a man of mount 
Ephraim, whose name was Mi- 
cah. 

2 And he said unto his mother, 
The eleven hundred shekels of silver 
that were taken from thee, about 
which thou cursedst, and spakest of 
also in mine ears, behold, the silver 
is with me ; I took it. And his 
mother said, ^Blessed be thou of the 
Lord, my son. 

3 And when he had restored the 
eleven hundred shekels of silver to 
his mother, his mother said, I had 
wholly dedicated the silver unto the 
Lord from my hand for my son, to 
'•make a graven image and a molten 
image : now therefore I will restore 
it unto thee. 

4 Yet he restored the money unto 
his mother ; and his mother ^took 
two hundred shekels of silver, and 
gave them to the founder, who made 
thereof a graven image and a molten 
image : and they were in the house 
of Micah. 

5 And the man Micah had a house 
of gods, and made an ^ephod, and 
^teraphim, and f consecrated one of 
his sons, who became his priest. 

6 ''In those days iAere was no king

which was right in his own eyes.

22 The Gibeonites abuse his concubine to death. 
29 He divideth her into twelve pieces, to send

ND it came to pass in those days, 
a when thei'e was no king in Is- 
rael, that there was a certain Levite 
sojourning on the side of mount E- 
phraim, who took to him f a concu- 
bine out of ^ Beth-lehem-judah. 

2 And his concubine played the 
whore against him, and went away 
from him unto her father's house to 
Beth-lehem-judah, and was there

3 And her husband arose, and went 
after her, to speak f friendly unto her, 
and to bring her again, having his 
servant with him, and a couple of 
asses : and she brought him into her 
father's house : and when the father 
of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced 
to meet him.

abode with him three days : so they 
did eat and drink, and lodged there.

lor the damsel's father had said unto 
the man, Be content, I pray thee, 
and tarr\' all night, and let thy heart 
be merry. 

7 And when the man rose up to 
depart, his father-in-law urged him : 
therefore he lodged there again. 

8 And he arose early in the morn- 
ing on the fifth day to depart : and 
the damsel's father said. Comfort 
thy heart, I pray thee. And they 
taiTied f until afternoon, and they 
did eat both of them. 

\) And when the man rose up to 
depart, he, and his concubine, and 
his servant, his father-in-law, the 
damsel's father, said unto him, Be- 
hold, now the day j draweth toward 
evening, I pray you tarn*' all night : 
behold, fthe day groweth to an end, 
lodge here, that thy heart may be 
merrj' ; and to-morrow get you early 
on your way, that thou mayest go

10 But the man would not tarr)'i 
that night, but he rose up and de-i 
j)arted. and came f over against ''• Je- 
bus, which is Jerusalem : and there ^ 
uere with him two asses saddled, his 
concubine also icas with him. 

11 And when they luere by Jebus, 
the day was far spent ; and the ser- 
vant said unto his master, Come, I 
pray thee, and let us turn in unto this 
city eof the Jebusites, and lodge in it. 

12 And his master said unto him. 
We will not turn aside hither into 
the city of a stranger, that is not of 
the children of Israel ; we will pass 
over 'to Gibe ah. 

13 And he said unto his servant, 
Come, and let us draw near to one 
of these places to lodge all night, in 
Gibeah, or in ?Ramah. 

14 And they passed on and went 
their way ; and the sun went down 
upon them ti;hen they were by Gi- 
beah, which belongeth to Benjamin. 

15 And they turned aside thither, 
to go in and to lodge in Gibeah : and 
when he went in, he sat him down in

The decree ofthe assembly. 

5 f And the men of Gibeah rose a- 
gainst me, and beset the house round 
about upon me by night, and thought 
to have slain me: ffand my concu- 
bine have they f forced, that she is 
dead. 

6 And ^I took my concubine, and 
cut her in pieces, and sent her 
throughout all the country of the 
inheritance of Israel : for they 'have 
committed lewdness and folly in Is- 
rael. 

7 Behold, ye are all children of Is- 
rael ; i^give here your advice and 
counsel. 

8 ^ And all the people arose as one 
man, saying, We will not any of us 
go to his tent, neither will we any of 
us turn into his house : 

9 But now this shall be the thing 
which we v/ill do to Gibeah: lue will 
go up by lot against it ; 

10 And we will take ten men of a 
hundred throughout all the tribes of 
Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, 
and a thousand out of ten thousand, 
to fetch victual for the people, that 
they may do, when they come to Gi- 
beah of Benjamin, according to all the 
folly thattheyhave wrought in Israel. 

1 1 So all the men of Israel were 
gathered against the city, fknit to- 
gether as one man. 

12 T[ 1 And the tribes of Israel sent 
men through all the tribe of Benja- 
min, saying, What wickedness fsthis 
that is done among you? 

13 Now therefore deliver us the 
men, ™the children of Belial, which 
are in Gibeah, that we may put them 
to death, and "put away evil from Is- 
rael. But the children of Benjamin 
would not hearken to the voice of 
their brethren the children of Israel: 

14 But the children of Benjamin 
gathered themselves together out of 
the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to 
battle against the children of Israel. 

15 And the children of Benjamin 
were numbered at that time out of 
the cities twenty and six thousand 
men that drew sword, besides the in- 
habitants of Gibeah, which were num- 
bered seven hundred chosen men. 

16 Among all this people ^A^re wei'e 
seven hundred chosen men ° left- 
handed ; every one could sling stones 
at a hsLir-breadth, and not miss.

Tfie Benjamites twice victorious, 

17 And the men of Israel, besides 
Benjamin, were numbered four hun- 
dred thousand men that drew sword : 
all these were men of war. 

18 HAnd the children of Israel a 
rose, and Pwent up to the house of 
God, and i asked counsel of God, 
and said. Which of us shall go up 
first to the battle against the chil- 
dren of Benjamin? And the Lord 
said, Judah shall go up first. 

19 And the children of Israel rose 
up in the morning, and encamped 
against Gibeah. 

20 And the men of Israel went out 
to battle against Benjamin; and the 
men of Israel put themselves in ar- 
ray to fight against them at Gibeah. 

21 And ■'the children of Benjamin 
came forth out of Gibeah, and de- 
stroyed down to the ground of the 
Israelites that day twenty and two 
thousand men. 

22 And the people, the men of Is- 
rael, encouraged themselves, and set 
their battle again in array in the place 
\\ here they put themselves in array 
the first day. 

23 (^ And the children of Israel 
went up and wept before the Loud 
until even, and asked counsel of the 
Lord, saying, Shall I go up again to 
battle against the children of Benja- 
min my brother? And the Lord 
said. Go up against him.) 

24 And the children of Israel came 
near against the children of Benja- 
min tlie second day. 

25 And 'Benjamin went forth a- 
gainst them out of Gibeah the se- 
cond day, and destroyed down to the 
ground of the children of Israel a- 
gain eighteen thousand men; all 
these drew the sword. 

20 niThen all the children of Israel, 
and all the people, "went up, and 
came unto the house of God, and 
wept, and sat there before the Lord, 
and fasted that day until even, and 
oft'ered burnt-offerings and peace-of- 
ferings before the Lord. 

27 And the children of Israel in- 
quired of the Lord, (for ^the ark 
of the covenant of God vias there in 
those days, 

28 yAnd Phinehas, the son of Ele- 
azar, the son of Aaron, ^ stood before

again go out to battle against the 
children of Benjamin my brother, or 
shall I cease ? And the Lord said, 
Go up ; for to-morrow I will deliver 
them into thy hand. 

29 And Israel "set Hers in wait 
round about Gibeah. 

30 And the children of Israel went 
up against the children of Benjamin 
on the third day, and put themselves 
in array against Gibeah, as at other 
times. 

31 And the children of Benjamin 
went out against the people, and 
were drawn away from the city; 
and they began f to smite of the 
people, and kill, as at other times, in 
the highways, of which one goeth 
up to lithe house of God, and the 
other to Gibeah in the field, about 
thirty men of Israel. 

32 And the children of Benjamin 
said. They arc smitten down before 
us, as at the first. But the children 
of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw 
them from the city unto tiie high- 
ways. 

33 And all the men of Israel rose 
up out of their place, and put them- 
selves in array at Baal-tamar: and 
the liers in wait of Israel came forth 
out of their places, even out of the 
meadows of Gibeah. 

34 And there came against Gibeah 
ten thousand chosen men out of all 
Israel, and the battle was sore: •'but 
they knew not that evil was near 
them. 

35 And the Lord smote Benjamin 
before Israel: and the children of Is- 
rael destroyed of the Benjamites that 
day twenty and five thousand and 
a hundred men: all these drew the 
sword. 

36 So the children of Benjamin 
saw that they were smitten: ''for 
the men of Israel gave place to the 
Benjamites, because they trusted 
unto the liers in wait which they 
had set beside Gibeah. 

37 ^And the liers in wait hasted, 
and rushed upon Gibeah ; and the 
liers in wait || drew themselves along, 
and smote all the city with the edge 
of the sword. 

38 Now there was an appointed 
II sign between the men of Israel 
tand the liers in wait, that thev 

293 



Tlie Benjamites smitten. 

should make a great f flame with 
smoke rise up out of the city. 

39 And when the men of Israel re- 
tired in the battle, Benjamin began 
f to smite and kill of the men of Is- 
rael about thirty persons : for they 
said, Surely they are smitten down 
before us, as in the first battle. 

40 But when the flame began to a- 
rise up out of the city with a pillar of 
smoke, the Benjamites ^ looked be- 
hind them, and behold, fthe flame 
of the city ascended up to heaven. 

41 And when the men of Israel 
turned again, the men of Benjamin 
were amazed : for they saw that evil 
f was come upon them. 

42 Therefore they turned their 
backs before the men of Israel unto 
the way of the wilderness : but the 
battle overtook them : and them 
which ca?ne out of the cities they 
destroyed in the midst of them. 

43 Thus they enclosed the Benja- 
mites round about, and chased them, 
and trode them down || with ease 
fover against Gibeah toward the 
sun-rising. 

44 And there fell of Benjamin eigh- 
teen thousand men; all these if)e?'e 
men of valour. 

45 And they turned and fled toward 
the wilderness unto the rock of ^Rim- 
mon : and they gleaned of them in 
the highways five thousand men; and 
pursued hard after them untoGidora, 
and slew two thousand men of them. 

46 So that all which fell that day of 
Benjamin were twenty and five thou- 
sand men that drew the sword ; all 
these we7-e men of valour. 

47 ?But six hundred men turned 
and fled to the wilderness unto the 
rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock 
Rimmon four months. 

48 And the men of Israel turned a- 
gain upon the children of Benjamin, 
and smote them with the edge of the 
sword, as well the men of every city, 
as the beast, and all that f came to 
hand: also they set on fire all the 
cities that fthey came to.

unto Benjamin to wife. 

2 And the people came ^to the 
house of God, and abode there till 
even before God, and lifted up their 
voices, and wept sore ; 

3 And said, O Lord God of Israel, 
why is this come to pass in Israel, 
that there should be to-day one tribe 
lacking in Israel ? 

4 And it came to pass on the mor- 
row, that the people rose early, and 
<=built there an altar, and offered 
burnt-offerings, and peace-offerings. 

5 And the children of Israel said. 
Who is there among all the tribes of 
Israel that came not up with the con- 
gregation unto the Lord? ^For they 
had made a great oath concerning 
him that came not up to the Lord 
to IMizpeh, saying, He shall surely 
be put to death. 

6 And the children of Israel repent- 
ed them for Benjamin their brother, 
and said. There is one tribe cut off" 
from Israel this daj'. 

7 How shall w^e do for wives for 
them that remain, seeing we have 
sworn by the Lord, that we will not 
give them of our daughters to wives ? 

8 ^ And they said. What one is there 
of the tribes of Israel that came not 
up to Mizpeh to the Lord? And be- 
hold, there came none to the camp 
from s Jabesh-gilead to the assembly. 

9 For the people were numbered, 
and behold there were none of the 
inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead there. 

10 And the congregation sent thi- 
ther twelve thousand men of the va- 
liantest, and commanded them, say- 
ing, f Go and smite the inhabitants ot 
Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the 
sword, with the women and the chil- 
dren. 

11 And this is the thing that ye 
shall do, gYe shall utterly destroy 
every male, and eveiy woman that 
f hath lain by man. 

12 And they found among the in- 
habitants of Jabesh-gilead four hun- 
dred f young virgins that had known 
no man by lying with any male : and 
they brought them unto the camp to 
h Shiloh, which is in the land of Ca- 
naan. 

13 And the^vhole congregation sent 
some fto speak to the children of

Tlie Benjamites are advised 

Benjamin 'that were in the rock

14 And Benjamin came again at 
that time ; and they gave them wives 
which they had saved alive of the 
women of Jabesh-gilead : and yet so 
they sufficed them not. 

1.5 And the people "^repented them 
for Benjamin, because that the Lord 
had made a breach in the tribes of 
Israel. 

. IG If Then the elders of the con- 
gregation said, How shall we do for 
wives for them that remain, seeing 
the women are destroyed out of Ben- 
jamin ? 

17 And they said. There must be an 
inheritance for them that be escaped 
of Benjamin, that a tribe be not de- 
stroyed out of Israel. 

18 Ilovvbeit, we may not give them 
wivesof our daughters : 'for the chil- 
dren of Israel have sworn, saying. 
Cursed be he that giveth a wife to 
Benjamin. 

19 Then they said. Behold, there is 
a feast of the Lord in Shiloh f yearly 
in a -place which is on the north side 
of Beth-cl, II on the east side jjof the 
highway that goeth up from Beth-el 
to Shechem, and on the south of Le-

20 Therefore they commanded the 
children of Benjamin, saying, Go, and 
lie in wait in the vineyards ; 

21 And see, and behold, if the 
daughters of Shiloh come out >" to 
dance in dances, then come ye out of 
the vineyards, and catch you every 
man his wife of the daughters of 
Shiloh, and go to the land of Ben- 
jamin. 

22 And it shall be, when their fa- 
thers or their brethren come unto us 
to complain, that we will say unto 
them, II Be favourable unto them for 
our sakes: because we reserved not 
to each man his wife in the war: for 
ye did not give unto them at this 
time, tJiat ye should be guilty. 

23 And the children of Benjamin 
did so, and took them wives, accord- 
ing to their number, of them that 
danced, whom they caught : and they 
went and returned unto their inhe- 
ritance, and "repaired the cities, and 
dwelt in them. 

24 And tiie children of Israel de- 
parted thence at that time, ever}^ man 
to his tribe and to his family, and 
they went out from thence every man 
to his inheritance. 

25 °In those days there icas no king

was right in his own eyes.

Ruth goelh with Naomi to Beth-Iehem, RUTH. 

8 And Naomi said unto her two 
daughters-in-law, 'iGo, return each 
to her mother's house : nhe Lord 
deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt 
with i^the dead, and with me. 

1) The Lord grant you that ye may 
ilnd 'rest, each of you in the house of 
her husband. Then she kissed them; 
and they lifted up their voice, and 
wept. 

10 And they said unto her, Surely 
we will return with thee unto thy 
people. 

11 And Naomi said. Turn agam, 
my daughters : why will ye go with 
me ? are there yet any more sons in 
my womb, ™ that they may be your 
husbands ? 

12 Turn again, my daughters, go 
your way ; for I am too old to have a 
husband. If I should say, I have hope, 
II if I should have a husband also to- 
night, and should also bear sons ; 

13 Would ye f tarry for them till 
they were grown ? would ye. stay for 
them from having husbands ? nay, 
my daughters ; for fit grieveth me 
much for your sakes, that "the hand 
of the Lord is gone out against me. 

14 And they lifted up their voice, 
and wept again. And Orpah kissed 
her mother-in-law ; but Ruth P clave 
unto her. 

15 And she said, Behold, thy sister- 
in-law is gone back unto her people, 
and unto qher gods: ■• return thou 
after thy sister-in-law, 

16 And Ruth said, || ^Entreatmenot 
to leave thee, or to return from fol- 
lowing after thee : for whither thou 
goest, I will go; and where thou 
lodgest, I will lodge: Hhy people 
shall he my people, and thy God my 
God : 

17 Wliere thou diest, will I die, and 
there will I be buried : " the Lord 
do so to me, and more aho, if aught 
but death part thee and me. 

18 -^When she saw that she fwas 
steadfastly minded to go with her, 
then she left speaking unto her. 

19 Tf So they two went until they 
came to Beth-lehem. And it came

gleaned in the field after the reapers

was of the kindred of Elimelech. 

4 % And behold, Boaz came from 
Beth-lehem, and said unto the reap- 
ers, ^ The Lord he with you. And 
they answered him. The Lord bless 
thee. 

5 Then said Boaz unto his servant 
that was set over the reapers, Whose 
damsel is this ? 

6 And the servant that was set over 
the reapers answered and said. It is 
the Moabitish damsel ^that came 
back with Naomi out of the country 
of Moab : 

7 And she said, I pray you, let me 
glean and gather after the reapers 
among the sheaves : so she came, 
and hath continued even from the 
morning until now, that she tarried 
a little in the house. 

8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hear- 
est thou not, my daughter ? Go not 
to glean in another field, neither go 
from hence, but abide here fast by 
my maidens: 

9 Let thine eyes he on the field that 
they do reap, and go thou after them: 

296 



who shews her great favour. 

have I not charged the young men 
that they shall not touch thee 'i and 
when thou art athirst, go unto the 
vessels, and drink of that which the 
young men have drawn. 

10 Tiien she ffell on her face, and 
bowed herself to the ground, and said 
unto him, Why have I found grace 
in thine eyes, that thou shouldest 
take knowledge of me, seeing I am 
a stranger? 

11 And Boaz answered and said 
unto her. It hath fully been shewed 
me, oall that thou hast done unto 
thy mother-in-law since the death of 
thy husband: and liow thou hast 
lel't thy father and thy mother, and 
the land of thy nativity, and art come 
unto a people whicli thou knewest 
not heretofore. 

12 ''The Lord recompense thy 
work, and a full reward be given thee 
of the Loud God of Israel, 'under 
whose wings thou art come to trust. 

13 Then she said, yi^Let me find 
favour in thy sight, my lord ; for that 
thou hast comforted me, and for that 
thou hast spoken f friendly unto thy 
handmaid, 'though I be not like un- 
to one of thy handmaidens. 

14 And Boaz said unto her. At 
meal-time come thou hither, and eat 
of the bread, anrl dip thy morsel in 
the vinegar. And she sat beside the 
reapers: and he reached her parch- 
ed corn, and she did eat, and "Uvas 
sufficed, and left. 

1.5 And when she was risen up to 
glean, Boaz commanded his young 
men, saying. Let her glean even a- 
mong the sheaves, and f reproach 
her not : 

IG And let fall also some of the 
handfuls of purpose for her, and 
leave tJietn, that she may glean them, 
and rebuke her not. 

17 So she gleaned in the field until 
even, and beat out that she had 
gleaned : and it was about an ephah 
of barley. 

18 TjAnd she took it up, and went 
into the city: and her mother-in-lav.' 
saw what she had gleaned: and she 
brought forth, and gave to her "that 
she had reserved after she was suf- 
ficed. 

19 And her mother-in-law said unto 
her. Where hast thou gleaned to-day?

20 And Naomi said into her daugh-

21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, 
He said unto me also. Thou shalt

22 And Naomi said unto Ruth her 
daughter-in-law. It is good, my 
daughter, that thou go out with his 
maidens, that they || meet thee not

2 And now is not Boaz of our kin-

II turned himself : and behold, a wo- 
man lay at his feet. 

9 And he said, Who art thou? And 
she answered, I am Ruth thy hand-

over thy handmaid; for thou art jjga

10 And he said, ''Blessed he thou

said, pLet it not be known that a

15 Also he said. Bring the ||vail

six measures of barley, and laid it on

Boaz caJleili into judgment the 7iext kinsman. 
6 He refusetli the redemption according to the 
manner in Israel. 9 Boaz buyeth the inherit- 
ance. 11 He mnrrieth Ruth. 13 She beareth 
Obed the grandfather of David. 18 The gene- 
ration of Pharez. 

HEN went Boaz up to the gate, 
and sat him down there : and 
behold, '^the kinsman of whom Boaz 
spake came by ; unto whom be said. 
Ho, such a one ! turn aside, sit down 
here. And he turned aside, and sat 
down. 

2 And he took ten men of ^the el- 
ders of the city, and said. Sit ye down 
here. And they sat down. 

3 And he said unto the kinsman, 
Naomi, that is come again out of the 
country of Moab, selleth a parcel of 
land, which was our brother Elime- 
lech's : 

4 And f I thought to advertise thee, 
saying, <=Buy it <i before the inhabit- 
ants, and before the elders of my peo- 
ple. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem 
it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, 
then tell me, that I may know: ^for 
thei^e is none to redeem it besides 
thee ; and I am after thee. And he 
said, I will redeem it. 

5 Then said Boaz, What day thou 
buyest the field of the hand of Nao- 
mi, thou must buy it also of Ruth 
the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, 
fto raise up the name of the dead 
upon his inheritance. 

6 ^?And the kinsman said, I can- 
not redeem it for myself, lest I mar 
mine own inheritance : redeem thou 
my right to thyself; for I cannot re- 
deem it. 

7 ''Now this was the manner in for- 
mer time in Israel concerning re- 
deeming and concerning changing, 
for to confirm all things; a man 
plucked off his shoe, and gave.z7 to 
his neighbour: and this xDas a testi- 
mony in Israel. 

8 Therefore the kinsman said unto 
Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew 
off" his shoe. 

9 "TIAnd Boaz said unto the elders, 
and nnto all the people, Ye are wit- 
nesses this day, that I have bought 
all that was Elimelech's, and all that 
was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the 
hand of Naomi. 

10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, 
the wife of Mahlon,have I purchased 

298 



Boaz tahelh Ruth to wife. 

to be my wife, to raise up the name 
of the dead upon his inheritance, 
' that the name of the dead be not 
cut oft" from among his bretliren, and 
from the gate of his place: ye are 
Avitnesses this day. 

1 1 And aU the people that were in 
the gate, and the elders, said, Wc 
are witnesses. ''The Lord make the

12 And let thy house be like the

unto Judah, of "the seed which the 
Lord shall give thee of this young 
woman.

was his wife : and wlien he went in 
unto her, 4 the Lord gave her con- 
ception, and she bare a son.

But unto Hannah he gave || a

6 And her adversary also f ^ pro-

womb. 

7 And as he did so j'ear by year, 
t when she went up to the house

12 And it came to pass, as she f con 
tinned praying before the Lord, 
that Eli marked her mouth. 

13 Now Hannah, she spake in her 
heart ; only her lips moved, but her 
voice was not heard : therefore Eli 
thought she had been drunken. 

14 And Eli said unto her. How 
long wilt thou be drunken? put 
away thy wine from thee. 

15 And Hannah answered and said. 
No, my loi'd, I am a woman f of a

q pom-ed out my soul before the Lord. 

16 Count not thy handmaid for a

Hannah's song of thanksgiving. 

good ; tarry until thou have weaned 
him ; ^only the Lord establish his 
word. So the woman abode, and 
gave her son suck until she weaned 
him. 

24 *i[ And when she had weaned 
him, she s took him up with her, with 
three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, 
anda bottle of wine, and brought him 
unto ''the house of the Lord in Shi- 
loh : and the child ivas young. 

25 And they slew a bullock, and 
' brought the child to Eli. 

26 And she said, O my lord, ^as 
thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the 
woman that stood by thee here, 
praying unto the Lord. 

27 'For this child I prayed; and 
the Lord hath given me my petition 
which I asked of him : 

28 ™ Therefore also I have || lent 
him to the Lord ; as long as he liv-

AND Hannah ^^prayed, and said, 
^ My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, 
" my horn is exalted in the Lord ; 
my mouth is enlarged over mine 
enemies ; because I ^ rejoice in thy 
salvation. 

2 ^ There is none holy as the Lord:

The wickedness of Eli's sons. 

8 PHe raiseth up the poor out of the 
dust, and lifteth up the beggar from 
tlie dunghill, ^to set them among 
princes, and to make them inherit 
the throne of glory: for 'the pillars 
of the earth are the Lord's, and he 
hath set the world upon them. 

9 ^He will keep the feet of his 
saints, and the wicked shall be si- 
lent in darkness; for by strength 
shall no man prevail. 

10 The adversaries of the Lord 
shall be 'broken to pieces; "out of 
heaven shall he thunder upon them: 
'•the Lord shall judge the ends of 
the earth ; and he shall give strength 
unto his king, and y exalt the horn of 
his Anointed. 

1 1 And Elkanah went to Ramah to 
his house. ^And the child did min- 
ister unto the Lord before Eli the 
priest. 

12 If Now the sons of Eli were 
''sons of Belial; i^they knew not the 
1a)rv. 

13 And the priest's custom with 
the people was, that, when any man 
offered sacrifice, the priest's servant 
came, while tlie Hesh was in seeth- 
ing, w ith a flesh-hook of three teeth 
in his hand ; 

14 And he struck it into the pan, 
or kettle, or caldron, or pot ; all that 
the flesh-hook brought up the priest 
took for himself. So they did in Shi- 
loh unto all the Israelites that came 
thither. 

15 Also before they ''burnt the fat, 
the priest's servant came, and said to 
the man that sacrificed. Give flesh to 
roast for the priest ; ibr he will not 
have sodden flesh of thee, but raw. 

16 And if any man said unto him. 
Let them not fail to burn t!ic fat 
f presently, and fhe?i take as much 
as thy soul desircth ; then he would 
answer him, Nuij ; but thou shall 
give it me now : and if not, I will 
take it by force. 

17 Wherefore the sin of the young 
men was very great ^ before the 
Lord : for men ^abhorred the offer- 
ing of the Lord.

fore the Lord, being a child, ''girded 
with a linen ephod.

thee seed of this woman for the |1 loan 
which is 'lent to the Lord. And they 
went unto their own home. 

21 And the Lord "'visited Han- 
nah, so that she conceived, and bare 
three sons and two daughters. And 
the child Samuel " grew before the 
Lord. 

22 TFNow Eli was very old, and 
heard all that his sons did unto all 
Israel ; and how they lay with ° the 
women that f assembled at the door 
of the tabernacle of the congrega-

23 And he said unto them. Why 
do ye such things ? fin* || I hear of 
your evil dealings by all this people. 

24 Nay, my sons ; ibr it is no good

Lord's people ||to transgress. 

25 If one man sin against another,

man P sin against the Lord, who

Lord would slay them. 

26 And the child Samuel •'grew on,

Lord, and also with men. 

27 II I And there came a man of 
God unto Eli, and said unto him, 
Thus saith the Lord, "Did I plainly

Jiim the ruin of Eli's house. 

And he said, I called not; lie down 
again. And he went and lay down. 

6 And the Lord called yet again, 
Samuel. And Samuel arose and went 
to Eli, and said. Here am I ; for thou 
didst call me. And he answered, I 
called not, my son ; lie down again. 

7 II Now Samuel ^did not yet know 
the Lord, neither was the word of 
the Lord yet revealed unto him. 

8 And the Lord called Samuel 
again the third time. And he arose 
and went to Eli, and said, Here am 
I ; for thou didst call me. And Eli 
perceived that the Lord had called 
the child. 

9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, 
Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he 
call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, 
Lord; for thy servant heareth. So 
Samuel went and lay down in his 
place. 

10 And the Lord came, and stood 
and called as at other times, Samuel, 
Samuel. Then Samuel answered, 
Speak; for thy servant heareth. 

1 1 II And the Lord said to Samuel, 
Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, 
Sat which both the ears of every one 
that heareth it shall tingle, 

12 In that day I will perform against 
Eli ''all things which I have spoken 
concerning his house: f when I be- 
gin, I will also make an end. 

13 II 'For I have told him, that I 
will ''judge his house for ever, for 
the iniquity which he knoweth: be- 
cause 'his sons made themselves 
II vile, and he f "^restrained them not. 

14 And therefore I have sworn un- 
to the house of Eli, that the iniquity 
of Eli's house "shall not be purged 
with sacrifice nor offering for ever. 

15 HAnd Samuel lay until the 
morning, and opened the doors of 
the house of the Lord : and Samuel 
feared to shew Eli the vision. 

16 Then Eli called Samuel, and 
said, Samuel, my son. And he an- 
swered. Here am I. 

17 And he said, What is the thing 
that the LORD hath said unto thee ? 
I pray thee hide it not from me : 
°God do so to thee, and f more also, 
if thou hide amj \\ thing from me, of 
all the things that he said unto thee. 

18 And Samuel told him f every 
whit, and hid nothing from him.

And he said, P It is the Lord : let 
him do what seemeth him good. 

19 TI And Samuel qgrew, and ""the 
Lord was with him, ^ and did let 
none of his words fall to the ground. 

20 And all Israel, 'from Dan even 
to Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel was 
II established to be a prophet of the 
Lord. 

21 And the Lord appeared again 
in Shiloh : for the Lord revealed 
himself to Samuel in Shiloh by "the 
word of the Lord.

1 The Israelites are orercome by the Philistines

breaketh his neck. \\S Phinehas' wife, discou-

AND the word of Samuel || f came 
to all Israel. Now Israel went 
out against the Philistines to battle, 
and pitched beside =^ Eben-ezer: and 
the Philistines pitched in Aphek. 

2 And the Philistines put them- 
selves in array against Israel : and 
when f they joined battle, Israel was 
smitten before the Phihstines : and 
they slew ol" f the army in the field 
about four thousand men. 

3 H And when tiie people were 
come into the camp, the elders of Is-

5 And when the ark of the cove-

all Israel shouted with a great shout, 
so that the earth rang again. 

6 And when the Philistines heard 
the noise of the shout, they said, 
What mcaneth the noise of this great 
shout in the camp of the Hebrews ? 
And they understood that the ark of 
the Lord was come into the camp.

9 <iBe strong, and quit yourselves 
like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be 
not servants unto the Hebrews, ^as 
they have been to you : f quit your- 
selves like men, and fight. 

10 H And the Philistines fought, 
andQsrael was smitten, and they fled 
every man into his tent : and there 
wasa very great slaughter, for there 
fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen. 

11 And sthe ark of God was taken; 
and hthe two sons of Eli, Hophni 
and Phinehas, f were slain. 

12 TIAnd there ran a man of Ben- 
jamin out of the army, and 'came to 
Shiloh the same day with his clothes 
rent, and i^with earth upon his head. 

13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat 
upon 'a seat by the way-side watch- 
ing: for his heart trembled for the 
ark of God. And when the man 
came into the city and told it all 
the city cried out. 

14 And when Eli heard the noise 
of the crying, he said. What meaneth 
the noise of this tumult ? And the 
man came in hastily, and told Eli. 

15 Now Eli was ninety and eight 
years old: and '"his eyes f were dim, 
that he could not see. 

16 And the man said unto Eli, I am 
he that came out of the army, and I 
fled to-day out of the army. And he 
said, "What f is there done, ray son ? 

1 7 And the messenger answered and 
said, Israel is fled before the Philis- 
tines, and there hath been also a 
great slaughter among the people, 
and thy two sons also, Hophni and 
Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of 
God is taken. 

18 And it came to pass, when he 
made mention of the ark of God, that 
he fell from off" the seat backward by 
the side of the gate, and his neck 
brake, and he died : for he was an old 
man, and heavy. || And he had judg- 
ed Israel forty years.

is smitten doion and cut in pieces, and they of 
Ashdod smitten with emerods. 8 So God deal- 
eth with them of Gath, when it was brought 
thither : 10 and so with them of Ekron, when it 
was brought titither. 

ND the Philistines took the ark 
of God, and brought it ^from 
Eben-ezer unto Ashdod. 

2 When the Philistines took the 
ark of God, they brought it into the 
house of "^ Dagon, and set it by Da- 
gon.

And they took Dagon, and "^set him 
in his place again. 

4 And when they arose early on the 
morrow morning, behold, Dagon was 
fallen upon his face to tha ground be- 
fore the ark of the Lord : and <^the 
head of Dagon, and both the palms 
of his hands were cut off upon the 
threshold ; only 1| the stump of Da

Tlie men of Gath and Ekron smitten. 

with us : for his hand is sore upon 
us, and upon Dagon our god. 

8 They sent therefore, and gather- 
ed all the loi'ds of the Philistines un- 
to them, and said, What shall we do 
with the ark of the God of Israel? 
And they answered. Let the ark of 
the God of Israel be carried about 
unto Gath. And they carried the 
ark of the God of Israel about thi- 
ther. 

9 And it was so, that after they 
had carried it about, Hhe hand of 
the Lord was against the city ^with 
a very great destruction : and "^he 
smote the men of the city both small 
and great, and they had emerods in 
their secret parts. 

10 ^ Therefore they sent the ark of 
God to Ekron. And it came to pass 
as the ark of God came to Ekron, 
that the Ekronites cried out, saying, 
They have brought about the ark of 
the God of Israel to f us, to slay us 
and our people. 

11 So they sent and gathered to- 
gether all the lords of the Philistines, 
and said. Send away the ark of the 
God of Israel, and let it go again to 
his own place, that it slay f us not, 
and our people : for there was a 
deadly destruction throughout all the 
city; "the hand of God was very 
heavy there. 

12 And the men that died not, were 
smitten with the emerods : and the 
cry of the city went up to heaven. 

CHAP. VL 

I After seven months the Philistines take counsel 
hoio to send back the ark. 10 They bring it on, 
a tmv! cart with an offering unto Beth-slieinesh. 
19 The peopleare smitten for looking into the 
ark. 21 Tliey send to them of Kirjath-jearim 
to fetch it. 

ND the ark of the Lord was in 
the country of the Philistines 
seven months. 

2 And the Philistines "^ called for 
the priests and the diviners, saying, 
What shall we do to the ark of the 
Lord ? tell us wherewith we shall 
send it to his place. 

3 And they said. If ye send away 
the ark of the God of Israel, send it 
not b empty ; but in any wise return 
him ''a trespass-offering : then ye 
shall be healed, and it shall ''be 
known to you why his hand is not 
removed from you. 

304 



The Philistines Send back the ark. 

4 Then said they, What s/m// fee the 
trespass-offering which we shall re- 
turn to him ? They answered, Five 
golden emerods, and five goldenmice, 
^ according to \hQ number of the lords 
of the Philistines : for one plague 
was on tyou all, and on your lords. 

5 Wherefore ye shall make images 
of your emerods, and images of your 
mice that f mar the land ; and ye 
shall ggive glorj^ unto the God of 
Israel: peradventurehe will ''lighten 
his hand from oft" you, and from off" 
'your gods, and from oft" your land. 

Wherefore then do ye harden 
your hearts, ^ as the Egj'ptians and 
Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when 
he had wrought |1 wonderfully among 
them, 'did they not let f the people 
go, and they departed ? 

7 Now therefore make "'a new cart, 
and take two milch-kine "on which 
there hath come no yoke, and tie the 
kinc to the cart, and bring their 
calves home from them: 

8 And take the ark of the Lord, 
and lay it upon the cart ; and put 
"the jewels of gold which ye re- 
turn him for a trcspass-oft'ering, in 
a coft'er By the side thereof"; and 
send it away, that it may go. 

9 And see, if it goeth up by the way 
of his own coast to I'Beth-shemesh, 
then II he hath done us this great evil : 
but if not, then 'iwe shall know that 
it is not his hand tluU smote us ; it 
was a chance that happened to us. 

1 U And the men did so ; and took 
two milch-kine, and tied them to 
the cart, and shut up their calves at 
home : 

1 1 And they laid the ark of the 
Lord upon the cart, and the coffer 
with the mice of gold and the ima- 
ges of their emerods. 

1 2 And the kine took the straight 
way to the way of Beth-shemesh, 
and wcni along the highway, lowing 
as they went, and turned not aside 
to the right hand or to the left ; and 
the lords of the Philistines went 
after them unto the border of Beth- 
shemesh. 

13 And they of Beth-shemesh were 
reaping their wheat harvest in the 
valley : and they lifted up their eyes, 
and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it 

14 And the cart came into the field

sanctified Eleazar his son to keep 
the ark of the Lord. 

2 And it came to pass, while the ark 
abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the 
time was long; for it was tv^^enty 
years: and all the house of Israel 
lamented after the Lord. 

3 *f[ And Samuel spake unto all the 
house of Israel, saying, If ye do ^ re- 
turn unto the Lord with all your 
hearts, t}ie7i ^ put away the strange 
gods, and '^Ashtaroth, from among 
you, and ^prepare your hearts unto 
the Lord, and e serve him only : and 
he will deliver you out of the hand 
of the Philistines. 

4 Then the children of Israel did 
put away ^^ Baalim, and Ashtaroth, 
and served the Lord only. 

5 And Samuel said, ' Gather all Is- 
rael to Mizpeh, and I v/ill pray for 
you unto the Lord. 

6 And they gathd'ed together to 
Mizpeh, ^ and drew water, and pour- 
ed it out before the Lord, and 'fast- 
ed on that day, and said there, ™We 
have sinned against the Lord. And 
Samuel judged the children of Is- 
rael 'n Mizpeh. 

7 And when the Philistines heard 
that the children of Israel were ga- 
thered together to Mizpeh, the lords 
of the Philistines went up against 
Israel, And when the children of 
Israel heard it, they were afraid of 
the Phihstines. 

8 And the children of Israel said 
to Samuel, f ° Cease not to cry unto 
the Lord our God for us, that he 
will save us out of the hand of the 
Philistines. 

9 "HAnd Samuel took a sucking 
lamb, and offered it for a burnt-offer- 
ing wholly unto the Lord : and n Sa- 
muel cried unto the Lord for Israel ; 
and the Lord || heard him. 

10 And as Samuel was offering up 
the burnt-offering, the Philistines 
drew near to battle against Israel : 
'^ but the Lord thundered with a great 
thunder on that day upon the Phi- 
listines, and discomfited them ; and 
they were smitten before Israel.

13 "^ 'So the Philistines were sub-

unto Gath ; and the coasts thei'eof

CHAP. vm. 

1 By occasion of the ill government of Samuel^s 
sons, the Israelites ask a king. 6 Samiielpray- 
ing in grief, is comforted by God .■ 10 He telleth 
the manner of a king. 19 God ii>illeih Samuel 
to yield unto the importunity of the people, 

ND it came to pass, when Sa- 
muel was old, that he ^^raade 
his bsons judges over Israel. 

2 Now the name of his first-born 
was II Joel ; and the name of his se- 
cond, Abiah : ihey were judges in 
Beer-sheba. 

3 And his sons <= walked not in his 
ways, but turned aside ^ after lucre, 
and ^took bribes, and perverted 
judgment. 

4 Then all the elders of Israel ga- 
thered themselves together, and came 
to Samuel unto Ramah, 

5 And said unto him, Behold, thou 
art old, and thy sons walk not in thy 
ways : now ^ make us a king to judge 
us like all the nations. 

6 H But the thing f displeased Sa- 
muel, when they said, Give us a king 
to judge us: and Samuel prayed un- 
to the Lord. 

7 And the Lord said unto Samuel, 
Hearken unto the voice of the peo- 
ple in all that they say unto thee : 
for s they have not rejected thee, but 

306 



The manner of the king foretold. 

^ they have rejected me, that I should 
not reign over them. 

8 According to all the works which 
they have done since the day that I 
brought them up out of Egypt even 
unto this day, wherewith they have 
forsaken me, and served other gods, 
so do they also unto thee. 

9 Now therefore || hearken unto 
their voice : || howbeit, yet protest 
solemnly unto them, and ' shew them 
the manner of the king that shall 
reign over them. 

10 TI And Samuel told all the words 
of the Lord unto the people that 
asked of him a king. 

1 1 And he said, k This will be the 
manner of the king that shall reign 
over you : ' He will take your sons, 
and appoint them for himself, for his 
chariots, and to be\i\s horsemen ; and 
some shall run before his chariots. 

12 And he will appoint him cap- 
tains over thousands, and captains 
over fifties ; and icill set them to ear 
his ground, and to reap his harvest, 
and to make his instruments of war, 
and instruments of his chariots. 

13 And he will take your daughters 
to be confectionaries,and to be cooks, 
and to be bakers. 

14 And ""he will take your fields, 
and your vineyards, and your olive- 
yards, even the best of them, and 
give them to his servants. 

15 And he will take the tenth of 
your seed, and of your vineyards, 
and give to his f officers, and to his 
servants. 

16 And he will take your men-ser- 
vants, and your maid-servants, and 
your goodliest young men, and your 
asses, and put tliem to his work. 

17 lie will take the tenth of your 
sheep : and ye shall be his servants. 

18 And ye shall cry out in that day 
because of your king which ye shall 
have chosen you ; and the Lord 
"will not hear you in that day. 

19 TI Nevertheless, the people " re- 
fused to obey the voice of Samuel ; 
and they said. Nay; but we will 
have a king over us ; 

20 That we also may be Plike all 
the nations ; and that our king may 
judge us, and go out before us, and 
fight our battles. 

21 And Samuel heard all the words

OW there was a man of Benja- 
min, whose name was ^Kish, 
the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, 
the son of Bechorath, the son of 
Aphiah, || a Benjamite, a mighty man 
of II power. 

2 And he had a son, whose name

son than he : ''from his slioulders 
and upward lie was higher than any

Saul his son. Take now one of the 
servants with thee, and arise, go 
seek the asses. 

4 And he passed through mount

the land of Shalim, and there they 
were not : and he passed through the 
land of the Benjamites, but they 
found tliem not. 

5 And when they were come to the 
landof Zuph, Saul said to his servant 
that icas with him. Come, and let us 
return ; lest my father leave caring 
for the asses, and take thought for us. 

6 And he said unto him. Behold 
now, there is in this city ^ a man of 
God, and he is an honourable man ; 
" all that he saith cometh surely to 
pass : now let us go thither ; perad- 
venture he can shew us our way 
that we should go. 

7 Then said Saul to his servant, 
But behold, if we go, ''what shall we 
bring the man ? for the bread f is 
spent in our vessels, and there is not 
a present to bring to the man of 
God : what f have we ? 

8 And the servant answered Saul 

307 



Samuel, apprized of Saul's coming, 

again, and said, Behold, f I have here 
at hand the fourth part of a shekel 
of silver : that will I give to the man 
of God, to tell us our way. 

9 (Beforetime in Israel, when a man 
swent to inquire of God, thus he 
spake. Come, and let us go to the 
seer : for he that is now called a 
Prophet was beforetime called '^a 
Seer.) 

10 Then said Saul to his servant, 
f Well said ; come, let us go : so 
they went unto the city where the 
man of God was. 

111! And as they went up f the 
hill to the city, "they found young 
maidens going out to draw water, 
and said unto them. Is the seer here? 

12 And they answered them, and 
said. He is ; behold, he is before 
you : make haste now, for he came 
to-day to the city ; for ^ there is a 
II sacrifice of the people to-day ^ in 
the high place : 

13 As soon as ye be come into the 
city, ye shall straightway find him, 
before he go up to the high place to 
eat : for the people will not eat un- 
til he come, because he doth bless 
the sacrifice ; and afterwards they 
eat that be bidden. Now therefore 
get you up : for about f this time ye 
shall find him, 

14 And they went up into the city : 
and when they were come into the 
city, behold, Samuel came out against 
them, for to go up to the high place. 

15 T[ m Now the Lord had f told 
Samuel in his ear a day before Saul 
came, saying, 

16 To-morrow about this time I 
will send thee a man out of the land 
of Benjamin, "and thou shalt anoint 
him to be captain over my people 
Israel, that he may save my people 
out of the hand of the Philistines : 
for I have « looked upon my people, 
because their cry is come unto me. 

17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the 
Lord said unto him, P Behold the 
man whom I spake to thee of ! this 
same shall f reign over my people. 

18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel 
in the gate, and said. Tell me, I pray 
thee, where the seer's house is. 

19 And Samuel answered Saul, and 
said, I am the seer : go up before me 
unto the high place ; for ye shall eat

20 And as for i thine asses that 
were lost f three days ago, set not 
thy mind on them ; for they are 
found. And on whom ''is all the de- 
sire of Israel? Is it not on thee, and 
on all thy father's house? 

21 And Saul answered and said, 
^ Am not I a Benjamite, of the ' small- 
est of the tribes of Israel ? and "my 
family the least of all the families of 
the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore 
then speakest thou f so to me ? 

22 And Samuel took Saul, and his 
servant, and brought them into the 
parlour, and made them sit in the 
chiefest place among them that 
were bidden, which were about 
thirty persons. 

23 And Samuel said unto the cook, 
Bring the portion which I gave thee, 
of which I said unto thee. Set it by 
thee. 

24 And the cook took up ^ the 
shoulder, and tJiat which was upon it, 
and set it before Saul. And Samuel 
said. Behold that which is ||left ! set 
it before thee, and eat ; for unto this 
time hath it been kept for thee since 
I said, I have invited the people. So 
Saul did eat with Samuel that day. 

25 ^ And when they were come 
down from the high place into the 
city, Samuel communed with Saul 
upon y the top of the house. 

26 And they arose early : and it 
came to pass about the spring of the 
day that Samuel called Saul to the 
top of the house, saying, Up, that I 
may send thee away. And Saul 
arose, and they went out both of 
them, he and Samuel, abroad. 

27 And as they were going down 
to the end of the city, Samuel said 
to Saul, Bid the servant pass on be- 
fore us, (and he passed on,) but 
stand thou still f a while, that I may 
shew thee the word of God.

He told us plainly that the asses were 
found. But of the matter of the 
kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he 
told him not.

20 And when Samuel had ''caused

the tribe of Benjamin was taken. 

21 When he had caused the tribe 
of Benjamin to come near by their 
families, the family of Matri was 
taken, and Saul the son of Kish was

7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and 
h hewed them in pieces, and sent 
them throughout all the coasts of

saying, 'Whosoever comethnot forth 
after Saul and after Samuel, so shall 
it be done unto his oxen. And the

8 And when he numbered them in

said, To-morrow ^we will come out

that "Saul put the people °in three

11 And the Lord sent ^Jerubbaal,

muel, and delivered you out of the 
hand of your enemies on every side, 
and ye dwelled safe. 

12 And when ye saw that = Nahash 
the king of the children ofAmmon 
came against you, <^ye said unto me. 
Nay ; but a king shall reign over us : 
when <^the Lord your God was your 
king. 

13 Now therefore, f behold the king 
gwhom ye have chosen, and whom 
ye have desired ! and behold, ^ the 
Lord hath set a king over you. 

14 If ye will 'fear the Lord, and 
serve him, and obey his voice, and 
not rebel against the f command- 
ment of the Lord, then shall both ye, 
and also the king that reigneth over 
you, t continue following the Lord 
your God. 

15 But if ye will ^^not obey the 
voice of the Lord, but rebel against 
the commandment of the Lord, then 
shall the hand of the Lord be against 
you, 'as it was against your fathers. 

16 ^Now therefore ""stand and see 
this great thing, which the Lord will 
do before your eyes. 

17 Is it not "wheat-harvest to-day? 
ol will call unto the Lord, and he 
shall send thunder and rain ; that ye 
may perceive and see that Pyour 
wickedness is great, which ye have 
done in the sight of the Lord, in 
asking you a king. 

18 SoSamuel called untothe Lord; 
and the LoRD,sent thunder and rain 
that day: and 'lall the people greatly 
feared the Lord and Samuel. 

19 And all the people said unto 
Samuel, ■'Pray for thy servants unto 
the Lord thy God, that we die not : 
for we have added unto all our sins 
this evil, to ask us a king. 

20 HAnd Samuel said unto the 
people. Fear not : ye have done all 
this wickedness : yet turn not aside 
from following the Lord, but serve 
the Lord with all your heart ; 

21 And s turn ye not aside: 'for 
then should ye go after vain things, 
which cannot profit nor deliver; for 
they are vain.

were with Saul in Michmash and in 
mount Beth-el, and a thousand were 
with Jonathan in ^Gibeah of Benja- 
min : and the rest of the people he 
sent every man to his tent. 

3 And Jonathan smote i^the gar- 
rison of the Philistines that loas in 
li Geba ; and the Philistines heard 
of it. And Saul blew the trumpet 
throughout all the land, saying, Let 
the Hebrews hear. 

4 And all Israel heard say that 
Saul had smitten a garrison of the 
Philistines, and that Israel also f was 
had in abomination with the Philis- 
tines: and the people were called 
together after Saul to Gilgal. 

5 "KAnd the Philistines gathered 
themselves together to fight with Is- 
rael, thirty thousand chariots, and 
six thousand horsemen, and people 
,as the sand which is on the sea-shore 
in multitude : and they came up, and 
pitched in Michmash, eastward from 
Beth-aven. 

6 When the men of Israel saw that 
they were in a strait (for the people 
were distressed) then the people 
'^did hide themselves in caves, and in

7 And some of the Hebrews went 
over Jordan to the land of Gad and 
Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in 
Gilgal, and all the people ^ followed 
him trembling. 

8 "H'^And he tarried seven days, ac- 
cording to the set time that Samuel 
had appointed: but Samuel came not 
to Gilgal ; and the people were scat- 
tered from him. 

9 And Saul said. Bring hither a 
burnt-offering to me, and peace-of- 
ferings. And he oifered the burnt- 
offering. 

10 And it came to pass, that as 
soon as he had made an end of offer- 
ing the burnt-offering, behold, Samu- 
el came ; and Saul went out to meet 
him, that he might f salute him. 

11 TIAnd Samuel said. What hast 
thou done ? And Saul said. Because 
I saw that the people were scattered 
from me, and that thou earnest not 
within the days appointed, and that 
the Philistines gathered themselves 
together at Michmash ; 

12 Therefore said I, The Philistines 
will come down now upon me to 
Gilgal, and I have not f made sup- 
plication unto the Lord: I forced 
myself therefore, and offered a 
burnt-offering. 

13 And Samuel said to Saul, <=Thou 
hast done foohshly : f thou hast not 
kept the commandment of the Lord 
thy God, which he commanded thee : 
for now would the Lord have esta- 
blished thy kingdom upon Israel for 
ever. 

14 eBut now thy kingdom shall not 
continue: ^the Lord hath sought 
him a man after his own heart, and 
the Lord hath commanded him to be 
captain over his people, because thou 
hast not kept that which the Lord 
commanded thee. 

15 And Samuel arose, and gat him 
up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Ben- 
jamin. And Saul numbered the peo- 
ple that were f present with him, 
'about six hundred men.

his axe, and his mattock. 

21 Yet they had f a Hie for the mat-

4 T And between the passages by 
which Jonathan sought to go over 
e unto the Philistines' garrison, there 
vms a sharp rock on the one side, 
and a sharp rock on the other side : 
and the name of the one was Bozez, 
and the name of the other Seneh. 

5 The f forefront of the one was 
situate northward over against Mich- 
mash, and the other southward over 
against Gibeah. 

6 And Jonathan said to the young 
man that bare his armour, Come, 
and let us go over unto the garrison 
of these uncircumcised : it may be 
that the Lord will work for us : for 
there is no restraint to the Lord f to 
save by many or by few. 

7 And his armour-bearer said unto 
him. Do all that is in thy heart : 
turn thee ; behold, I am with thee 
according to thy heart. 

8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we 
will pass over unto tliese men, and 
we will discover ourselves unto them. 

9 If they say thus unto us, f Tarry 
until we come to you ; then we will 
stand still in our place, and will not 
go up unto them. 

10 But if they say thus, Come up 
unto us ; then we will go up : for 
the Lord hath delivered them into 
our hand ; and ''this shall be a sign 
unto us. 

11 And both of them discovered 
themselves unto the garrison of the 
Philistines : and the Philistines said, 
Behold, the Hebrews come forth out 
of the holes where they had hid them- 
selves. 

12 And the men of the garrison 
answered Jonathan and his armour- 
bearer, and said. Come up to us, and 
we will shew you a tiling. And 
Jonathan said unto his armour-bear- 
er. Come up after me : for the Lord 
hath delivered them into the hand of 
Israel. 

13 And Jonathan climbed up upon 
his hands and upon his feet, and his 
armour-bearer after him : and they 
fell before Jonathan ; and his ar- 
mour-bearer slew after him. 

14 And that first slaughter, which 
Jonathan and his armour-bearer 
made, was about twenty men, within 
as it were || a half-acre of land, 
ivhicli a yoke of oxen might plough,

Saul's unadvised adjuration 

15 And ' there was trembling in the 
host, in the field, and among all the 
people : the garrison, and ^ the spoil- 
ers, they also trembled, and the 
earth quaked : so it was f ' a very 
great trembling. 

16 And the watchmen of Saul in 
Gibeah of Benjamin looked ; and 
behold, the multitude melted away, 
and they '^went on beating down 
one another. 

17 Then said Saul unto the people 
that were with him, Number now, 
and see who is gone from us. And 
when they had numbered, behold, 
Jonathan and his armour-bearer 
were not there. 

18 And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring 
hither the ark of God. For the ark 
of God was at that time with the 
children of Israel. 

1 9 11 And it came to pass while 
Saul "talked unto the priest, that the 
II noise that was in the host of the 
Philistines went on, and increased : 
and Saul said unto the priest. With- 
draw thy hand. 

20 And Saul and all the people that 
were with him f assembled them- 
selves, and they came to the battle : 
and behold, ° every man's sword was 
against his fellow, and there was a 
very great discomfiture. 

21 Moreover, the Hebrews that 
were with the Philistines before that 
time, which went up with them into 
the camp/roTO the country round 
about, even they also twined to be 
with the Israelites that were with 
Saul and Jonathan. 

22 Likewise all the men of Israel 
which Phad hid themselves in mount 
Ephraim, when they heard that the 
Phihstines fled, even they also follow- 
ed hard after them in the battle. 

23 q So the Lord saved Israel that 
day: and the battle passed over 
''unto Beth-aven. 

24 U And the men of Israel were 
distressed that day : for Saul had ^ ad- 
jured the people, saying, Cursed he 
the man that eateth amj food until 
evening, that I may be avenged on 
mine enemies. So none of the peo- 
ple tasted any food. 

25 I And all they of the land came 
to a wood ; and there was " honey 
upon the ground.

26 And when the people were come 
into the wood, behold, the honey 
dropped : but no man put his hand 
to his mouth ; for the people feared 
the oath. 

27 But Jonathan heard not when 
his father charged the people with 
the oath : wherefore he put forth tlie 
end of the rod that was in his hand, 
and dipped it in a honey-comb, and 
put his hand to his mouth ; and his 
eyes were enlightened. 

28 Then answered one of the peo- 
ple, and said. Thy father straitly 
charged the people with an oath, 
saying, Cursed be the man that eat- 
eth any food this day. And the peo- 
ple were || faint. 

29 Then said Jonathan, My father 
hath troubled the land : see, I pray 
you, how mine eyes have been en- 
lightened, because I tasted a little 
of this honey. 

30 How much more, if haply the 
people had eaten freely to-day of the 
spoil of their enemies which they 
found ? for had there not been now 
a much greater slaughter among the 
Philistines ? 

31 And they smote the Philistines 
that day from Michmash to Aijalon : 
and the people were very faint. 

32 And the people flew upon the 
spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and 
calves, and slew them on the ground : 
and the people did eat them -"^with 
the blood. 

33 If Then they told Saul, saying, 
Behold, the people sin against the 
Lord, in that they eat with the blood. 
And he said, Ye have || transgressed: 
roll a great stone unto me this day/ 

34 And Saul said. Disperse your- 
selves among the people, and say 
unto them, Bring me hither every 
man his ox, and every man his sheep, 
and slay the7n here, and eat ;.and sin 
not against the Lord in eating with 
the blood. And all the people brought 
every man his ox f with him that 
night, and slew them there. 

35 And Saul ybuilt an altar unto 
the Lord : f the same was the first 
altar that he built unto the Lord : 

36 ^ And Saul said. Let us go down 
after the Philistines by night, and 
spoil them until the morning light, 
and let us not leave a man of them. 

314 



TJie people rescue Jonathan. 

And they said, Do whatsoever seem- 
eth good unto thee. Then said the 
priest, Let us draw near hither unto 
God. 

37 And Saul asked counsel of God, 
Shall I go down after the Philistines? 
wilt tJiou deliver them into the hand 
of Israel ? But ^he answered him not 
that day. 

38 And Saul said, ^Draw ye near 
hither all the f chief of the people: 
and know and see wherein this sin 
hath been this day. 

39 For ^as the Lord liveth, which 
saveth Israel, though it be in Jona- 
than my son, he shall surely die. 
But there was not a man among all 
the people that answered him. 

40 Then said he unto all Israel, Be 
ye on one side, and I and Jonathan 
my son will be on the other side. 
And the people said unto Saul, Do 
what seemeth good unto thee. 

41 Therefore Saul said unto the 
Lord God of Israel, || ^Give a per- 
fect lot. ^And Saul and Jonathan 
were taken : but the people f escaped. 

42 And Saul said, Cast /o^6- between 
me and Jonathan my son. And Jo- 
nathan was taken. 

43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, 
^Tell me what thou hast done. And 
Jonathan told him, and said, ^"1 did 
but taste a little honey with the end 
of the rod that was in my hand, and 
lo, I must die. 

44 And Saul answered, ? God do so, 
and more also : ''for thou shalt surely 
die, Jonathan. 

45 And the people said unto Saul, 
Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought 
this great salvation in Israel? God 
forbid: 'as the Lord liveth, there 
shall not one hair of his head fall to 
the ground ; for he hath wrought with 
God this day. So the people rescued 
Jonathan, that he died not. 

46 Then Saul went up from follow- 
ing the Philistines : and the Philis- 
tines went to their own place. 

47 "[[So Saul took the kingdom 
over Israel, and fought against all his 
enemies on every side, against Moab, 
and against the children of ''Ammon, 
and against Edom, and against the 
kings of 'Zobah, and against the 
Philistines : and whithersoever he 
turned himself he vexed them.

Saul is sent to destroy Amalek. 

48 And he |] gathered a host, and 
"1 smote the Amalekites,and delivered 
Israel out of the hands of them that 
spoiled them. 

49 Now "the sons of Saul were Jo- 
nathan, and Ishui, andMelchi-shua: 
and the names of his two daughters 
were these ; the name of the first-born 
Merab, and the name of the younger 
Michal:' 

50 And the name of Saul's wife was 
Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz : 
and the name of the captain of his 
host was fAbner, the son of Ner, 
Saul's uncle. 

51 °And Kish was the father of 
Saul ; and Ner the father of Abner 
was the son of Abiel. 

52 And there was sore war against 
the Philistines all the days of Saul : 
and when Saul saw any strong man, 
or any valiant man, Phe took him 
unto him.

SAMUEL also said unto Saul, 
''The Lord sent me to anoint 
thee to he king over his people, over 
Israel : now therefore hearken thou 
unto the voice of the words of the 
Lord. 

2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I 
remember that which Amalek did to 
Israel, ^\\o\v he laid wait for him in 
the way, when he came up from E- 

gypt- 

3 Now go and smite Amalek, and 
<= utterly destroy all that they have, 
and spare them not ; but slay both 
man and woman, infant and suckling, 
ox and sheep, camel and ass. 

4 And Saul gathered the people to- 
gether, and numbered them in Te- 
laim,two hundred thousand footmen, 
and ten thousand men of Judah. 

5 And Saul came to a city of Ama- 
lek, and II laid wait in the valley. 

6 TIAnd Saul said unto "^the Ke- 
nites,e Go, depart, get you down from 
among the Amalekites, lest I destroy 
you with them : for '"ye shewed kind- 
ness to all the children of Israel when 
thev came up out of Egypt. So the 

315 



Saul sparing Agag, SfC. 

Kenites departed from among the 
Amalekites. 

7 sAnd Saul smote the Amalekites 
from hHavilah, until thou comest to 
' Shur, that is over against Egypt. 

8 And "^he took Agag the king of 
the Amalekites alive, and 'utterly de- 
stroyed all the people with the edge 
of the sword. 

9 But Saul and the people >" spared 
Agag, and the best of the sheep, and 
of the oxen, and || of the fatlings, and 
the lambs, and all that icas good, and 
M'ould not utterly destroy them : but 
every thing that was vile and refuse, 
that they destroyed utterly. 

10 ^Then came the word of the 
Lord unto Samuel, saying, 

11 "It repenteth me that I have set 
up Saul to be king : for he is "turned 
back from following me, Pand hath 
not performed my commandments. 
And it q grieved Samuel; and he 
cried unto the Lonn all night. 

12 And when Samuel rose early to 
meet Saul in the morning, it was told 
Samuel, saying, Saul came to ^'Car- 
mel, and behold, he set him up a 
place, and is gone about, and passed 
on, and gone down to Gilgal. 

13 And Samuel came to Saul: and 
Saul said unto him, ^ Blessed be thou 
of the Lord : I have performed the 
commandment of the Lord. 

14 And Samuel said. What mean- 
eth then this bleating of the sheep 
in mine ears, and the lowing of the 
oxen which I hear ? 

15 And Saul said. They have brought 
them from the Amalekites: tfor the 
people spared the best of the sheep 
and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the 
Lord thy God ; and the rest we have 
utterly destroyed. 

16 Then Samuel said unto Saul, 
Stay, and I will tell thee what the 
Lord hath said to me this night. 
And he said unto him. Say on. 

17 And Samuel said, "When thou 
v:ast little in thine own sight, wast 
thou not made the head of the tribes 
of Israel, and the Lord anointed thee 
king over Israel ? 

18 And the Lord sent thee on a 
journey, and said, Go, and utterly de- 
stroy the sinners the Amalekites, and 
fight against them until f they be 
consumed.

is rejected for disobedience. 

19 Wherefore then didst thou not 
obey the voice of the Lord, but didst 
fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in 
the sight of the Lord ? 

20 And Saul said unto Samuel, 
Yea, ^I have obeyed the voice of 
the Lord, and have gone the way 
which the Lord sent me, and have 
brought Agag the king of Amalek, 
and have utterly destroyed the Ama- 
lekites. 

21 yBut the people took of the 
poil, sheep and oxen, the chief of 

the things, which should have been 
utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto 
the Lord thy God in Gilgal. 

22 And Samuel said, ^ Hath the 
Lord as great delight in burnt-offer- 
ings and sacrifices, as in obeying the 
voice of the Lord? Behold, ^to obey 
is better than sacrifice, and to heark- 
en than the fat of rams. 

23 For rebellion is as the sin of 
I witchcraft, and stubbornness is as 
iniquity and idolatry. Because thou 
hast rejected the word of the Lord, 
bhe hath also rejected thee from be- 
ing king. 

24 1I<=And Saul said unto Samuel, 
I have sinned: for I have transgress- 
ed the commandment of the Lord, 
and thy words : because I '^ feared 
the people, and obeyed their voice. 

25 Now therefore, I pray thee, par- 
don my sin, and turn again with me, 
that I may worship the Lord. 

26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I 
will not return with thee : ^for thou 
hast rejected the word of the Lord, 
and the LoRDhath rejected thee from 
being king over Israel. 

27 And as Samuel turned about to 
go away, '"he laid hold upon the 
skirt of his mantle, and it rent. 

28 And Samuel said unto him, sTIie 
Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel 
from thee this daj', and hath given it 
to a neighbour of thine that is better 
than thou. 

29 And also the i| Strength of Israel 
hwill not lie nor repent: for he is 
not a man, that he should repent. 

30 Then he said, I have sinned : 
yet i honour me now, I pray thee, be- 
fore the elders of my people, and be- 
fore Israel, and turn again with me, 
that I may worship the Lord thy 
God.

Samuel goetk to Beth-lehem, 

31 So Samuel turned again after 
Saul ; and Saul worshipped the Lord. 

32 TlThen said Samuel, Bring ye 
hither to me Agag the king of the 
Amalekites. And Agag came unto 
him delicately. And Agag said, Sure- 
ly the bitterness of death is past. 

33 And Samuel said, '^As thy sword 
hath made women childless, so shall 
thy mother be childless among wo- 
men. And Samuel hewed Agag in 
pieces before the Lord in Gilgal. 

34 TIThen Samuel went to Ram ah; 
and Saul went up to his house to 
'Gibeah of Saul. 

35 And ""Samuel came no more to 
see Saul until the day of his death : 
nevertheless Samuel "mourned for 
Saul : and the Lord ° repented that 
he had made Saul king over Israel.

8 Then Jesse called ''Abinadab, 
and made him pass before Samuel. 
And he said, Neither hath the Lord 
chosen this. 

9 Then Jesse made ^\\ Shammah to 
pass by. And he said. Neither hath 
the Lord chosen this. 

10 Again, Jesse made seven of his 
sons to pass before Samuel. And 
Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord 
hath not chosen these. 

11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, 
Are here all thy children ? And he 
said, 'There remaineth yet the 
youngest, and behold, he keepeththe 
sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, 
"Send and fetch him: for we will 
not sit t down till he come hither. 

12 And he sent, and brought him 
in. Now he was -''ruddy, and withal 
fof a beautiful countenance, and 
goodly to look to. > And the Lord 
said. Arise, anoint him : for this is he. 

13 Then Samuel took the horn of 
oil, and ^anointed him in the midst 
of his brethren : and '^ the Spirit ol 
the Lord came upon David from 
that day forward. So Samuel rose 
up, and went to Ramah. 

14 111'Butthe Spirit of the Lord 
departed from Saul, and <=an evil 
spirit from the Lord || troubled him. 

15 And Saul's servants said unto 
him, Behold now, an evil spirit from 
God troubleth thee. 

16 Let our lord now command thy 
servants, which are ''before thee, to 
seek out a man who is a cunning 
player on a harp : and it shall come 
to pass, when the evil spirit from God 
is upon thee, that he shall "^ play with 
his hand, and thou shalt be well. 

17 And Saul said unto his servants, 
Provide me now a man that can 
play well, and bring him to me. 

18 Then answered one of the ser- 
vants, and said, Behold, I have seen 
a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, 
that is cunning in playing, and ^a 
mighty valiant man, and a man of 
war, and prudent in || matters, and a 
comely person, and ethe Lord is 
with him.

19 TlWherefore Saul sent messen-

David thy son, ^ -which is with the 
sheep. 

20 And Jesse Uook an ass laden 
with bread, and a bottle of wine, and 
a kid, and sent tlLem by David his 
son unto Saul. 

21 And David came to Saul, and 
''stood before him: and he loved him 
greatly ; and he became his armour- 
bearer. 

22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, 
Let David, I pray thee, stand before 
me ; for he hath found favour in my 
sight. 

23 xA.nd it came to pass, when 'the 
evil spirit from God was upon Saul, 
that David took a harp, and played 
with his hand : so Saul was refresh- 
ed, and was well, and the evil spirit 
departed from him.

David, coming to the army., 

like a weaver's beam ; and his spear's 
head weighed six hundred shekels of 
iron: and one bearing a shield went 
before him. 

8 And he stood and cried unto the 
armies of Israel, and said unto them, 
Why are ye come out to set your 
battle in array? am not I a Philis- 
tine, and ye f servants to Saul? 
choose you a man for you, and let 
him come down to me. 

9 If he be able to fight with me, 
and to kill me, then will we be your 
servants : but if I prevail against 
him, and kill him, then shall ye be 
our servants, and s serve us. 

10 And the Philistine said, I ''defy 
the armies of Israel this day; give me 
a man, that we may fight together. 

1 1 When Saul and all Israel heard 
those words of the Philistine, they 
were dismayed, and greatly afraid. 

12 "lINow David was 'the son of 
that •'Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-ju- 
dah, whose name was Jesse ; and he 
had 'eight sons: and the man went 
among men for an old man in the 
days of Saul. 

13 And the three eldest sons of 
Jesse went and followed Saul to the 
battle : and the i"names of his three 
sons that went to the battle were 
Eliab the first-born, and next unto 
him Abinadab, and the third Sham- 
mah. . 

14 And David was the youngest: 
and the three eldest followed Saul. 

15 But David went and returned 
from Saul "to feed his father's sheep 
at Beth-lehem. 

16 And the Philistine drew near 
morning and evening, and presented 
himself forty days. 

17 And Jesse said unto David his 
son. Take now for thy bretliren an 
ephah of this parched coim, and these 
ten loaves, and run to the camp to 
thy brethren : 

18 And carry these ten f cheeses 
unto the f captain of tlieir thousand, 
and °look how thy brethren fare, 
and take their pledge. 

19 Now Saul, and they, and all the 
men of Israel, ivere in the valley of 
Elah, fighting with the Philistines. 

20 ^ And David rose up early in the 
morning, and left the sheep with a 
keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse

had put the battle in array, army 
against army. 

22 And David left j his carriage in 
the hand of the keeper of the car- 
riage, and ran into the army, and 
came and t saluted his brethren. 

23 And as he talked with them, be- 
hold, there came up the champion, 
the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by 
name, out of the armies of the Phi- 
listines, and spake p according to the 
same words : and David heard them. 

24 And all the men of Israel, when 
they saw the man, fled f from him, 
and were sore afraid. 

25 And the men of Israel said,Have 
ye seen this man that is come up 1 
surely to defy Israel is he come up : 
and it shall be, that the man who 
killeth him, the king will enrich him 
with great riches, and i will give him 
his daughter, and make his fathers 
house free in Israel. 

26 And David spake to the men 
that stood by him, saying. What shall 
be done to the man that killeth this 
Philistine, and taketh away •■ the re- 
proach from Israel ? for who is this 
suncircumcised Philistine, that he 
should 'defy the armies of "the liv- 
ing God ? 

27 And the people answered him 
after this manner, saying, •''So shall 
it be done to the man that killeth 
him. 

28 Tf And Eliab his eldest brother 
heard when he spake unto the men ; 
and Eliab's > anger was kindled 
against David, and he said, Why 
camest thou down hither? and with 
whom hast thou left those few sheep 
in the wilderness 1 I know thy pride, 
and the naughtiness of thy heart; 
for thou art come down that thou 
mightest see the battle. 

29 And David said, What have I 
now done 1 ^ Is there not a cause ? 

30 ^ And he turned from him to- 
ward another, and ^ spake after the 
same f manner : and the people an- 
swered him again after the former 
manner.

which David spake, they rehearsed 
them before Saul : and he \ sent for 
him. 

32 m And David said to Saul, b Let 
no man's heart fail because of him ; 

thy sers^ant will go and fight with 
this Philistine. 

33 And Saul said to David, ^ Thou 
art not able to go against this Philis- 
tine to fight with him : for thou art 
but a youth, and he a man of war 
from his youth. 

34 And David said unto Saul, Thy 
servant kept his father's sheep, and 
there came a lion, and a bear, and 
took a II lamb out of the flock : 

35 And I went out after him and 
smote him, and delivered it out of his 
mouth : and when he arose against 
me, 1 caught him by his beard, and 
smote him, and slew him. 

36 Thy servant slew both the lion 
and the bear : and this uncircumcis- 
ed Philistine shall be as one of them, 
seeing he hath defied the armies of 
the living God. 

37 David said moreover, «The 
Lord that delivered me out of the 
paw of the lion, and out of the paw 
of the bear, he will deliver me out 
of the hand of this Phihstine. And 
Saul said unto David, Go, and ^the 
Lord be with thee. 

38 TI And Saul f armed David with 
his armour, and he put a helmet of 
brass upon his head ; also he armed 
him with a coat of mail. 

39 And David girded his sword up- 
on his armour, and he assayed to go ; 
for he had not proved it. And Da- 
vid said unto Saul, I cannot go with 
these, for I have not proved them. 
And David put them off him. 

40 And he took his staff in his 
hand, and chose him five smooth 
stones out of the || brook and put 
them in a shepherd's f bag which he 
had, even in a scrip ; and his sling 
was in his hand : and he drew near 
to the Philistine. 

41 And the Philistine came on, and 
drew near unto David ; and the man 
that bare the shield went before 
him. 

42 And when the Philistine looked 
about, and saw David, he edisdained 
him : for he was hut a youth, and 
h ruddy, and of a fair coimtenance, 

319 



David slayeth the Philistine. 

43 And the Philistine said unto 
David, ^Am I a dog, that thou com- 
est to me with staves? and the Phi- 
listine cursed David by his gods. 

44 And the Philistine '^said to Da- 
vid, Come to me, and I will give thy 
flesh unto the fowls of' the air, and 
to the beasts of the field. 

45 Then said David to the Phi- 
listine, Thou comest to me with a 
sword, and with a spear, and with a 
shield : ^ but I come to thee in the 
name of the Lord of hosts, the God 
of the armies of Israel, whom thou 
hast "^ defied. 

46 This day will the Lord f deliver 
thee into my hand ; and I will smite 
thee, and take thy bead from thee ; 
and I will give " the carcasses of the 
host of the Philistines this day unto 
the fowls of the air, and to the wild 
beasts of the earth : "that all the 
earth may know that there is a God 
in Israel. 

47 And all this assembly shall 
know that the Lord Psaveth not 
with sword and spear : for q the bat- 
tle is the Lord's, and he will give 
you into our hands. 

48 And it came to pass, when the 
Philistine arose, and came and drew 
nigh to meet David, that David 
hasted, and ran toward the army to 
meet the Philistine. 

49 And David put his hand in his 
bag, and took thence a stone, and 
slang it, and smote the Philistine in 
his forehead, that the stone sunk in- 
to his forehead ; and he fell upon his 
face to the earth. 

50 So "• David prevailed over the 
Philistine with a sling and with a 
stone, and smote the Philistine and 
slew him ; but there was no sword 
in the hand of David. 

51 Therefore David ran and stood 
upon the Philistine, and took his 
sword, and drew it out of the sheath 
thereof, and slew him, and cut off 
his head therewith. And when the 
Philistines saw their champion was 
dead, ^ they fled. 

52 And the men of Israel and of 
Judah arose, and shouted, and pur- 
sued the Philistines, until thou come 
to the valley, and to the gates of 
Ekron. And the wounded of the 
Philistines fell down by the way to

Philistine, and brought it to Jeru-

unto Abner the captain of the host, 
Abner, " Avhose son is this youth ? 
And Abner said. As thy soul liveth, 
O king, I cannot tell. 

56 And the king said. Inquire thou 
whose son the stripling is. 

57 And as David returned from the 
slaughter of the Philistine, Abner 
took him, and brought him before 
Saul ^ with the head of the Philistine 
in his hand. 

58 And Saul said to him. Whose

David answered, y / am the son of 
thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.

slaughter of the 1| Philistine, that ''the 
women came out of all the cities of Is- 
rael, singing and dancing, to meet 
king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and 
with f instruments of music. 

7 And the women ''answered one 
another as they played, and said, 
^Saul hath slain his thousands, and 
David his ten thousands. 

8 And Saul was very wroth, and 
the saying f sdispleased him ; and he 
said, They have ascribed unto David 
ten thousands, and to me they have 
ascribed izf< thousands: and wliat can 
he have more but '^the kingdom? 

9 And Saul eyed David from that 
day and forward. 

10 TI And it came to pass on the 
morrow, that the 'evil spirit from 
God came upon Saul, ''and he pro- 
phesied in the midst of the house : 
and David played with his hand, as 
at other times: 'and there was a ja- 
velin in Saul's hand. 

11 And Saul '"cast the javelin; for 
he said, I will smite David even to 
the wall with it. And David avoid- 
ed out of his presence twice. 

12 lAnd Saul was "afraid of Da- 
vid, becau.se t'theLoRD was with him, 
and was Pdeparted from Saul. 

13 Therefore Saul removed him 
from him, and made him his captain 
over a thousand; and 'ihe went out 
and came in before the people. 

14 And David || behaved himself 
wisely in all his ways; and ""the 
Lord was with him. 

15 Wherefore when Saul saw that 
he behaved himself very wisely, he 
was afraid of him. 

16 But ^all Israel and Judah loved 
David, because he went out and came 
in before them. 

17 ^ And Saul said to David, Be- 
hold, my elder daughter Merab, 'her 
will I give thee to wife : only be 
thou t valiant for me, and fight " the 
IvOrd's battles. For Saul said, ^Let 
not my hand be upon him, but let 
the hand of the Philistines be upon 
him. 

18 And David said unto Saul, yWho 
am I? and what is my life, or my fa- 
ther's family in Israel, that I should 
be-eon-in-law to the king ?

was given unto ^^Adriel the ^^Meho-

20 ^And Michal, Saul's daughter, 
loved David : and they told Saul, 
and the thing f pleased him. 

21 And Saul said, I will give him 
her, that she may be a '^ snare to him, 
and that ''the hand of the Philistines 
maybe against him. Wherefore Saul 
said toDavid, Thou shalt ''this daybe 
my son-in-law, in the one of the twain. 

22 TIAnd Saul commanded his ser- 
vants, saying, Commune with David 
secretly, and say, Behold, the king 
hath delight in thee, and all his ser- 
vants love thee : nowthereforebethe 
king's son-in-law. 

23 And Saul's servants spake those 
words in the ears of David. And 
David said, Seemeth it to you a 
light thing to be a king's son-in-law, 
seeing that I am a poor man, and 
lightly esteemed ? 

24 And the servants of Saul told 
him, saying, f On this manner spake 
David. 

25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say 
to David, The king desireth not any 
fdowry, but a hundred foreskins of 
the Philistines, to be fe' avenged of the 
king's enemies. But Saul ''thought 
to make David fall by the hand of 
the Phihstines. 

20 And when his servants told 
David these words, it pleased David 
well to be the king's son-in-law : and 
'the days were not f expired. 

27 Wherefore David arose and 
went, he and '^his men, and slew of 
the Philistines two hundred men; 
and ' David brought their foi-eskins, 
and they gave them in full tale to 
the king, that he might be the king's 
son-in-law. And Saul gave him Mi- 
chal his daughter to wife. 

28 II And Saul saw and knew that 
the Lord loas with David, and that 
Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him. 

29 And Saul wasyetthemore afraid 
of David ; and Saul became David's 
enemy continually. 

SO "Then the princes of the Philis- 
tines '"went foi'th : and it came to 
pass, after they went forth, that Da- 
vid "behaved himself more wisely 
than all the servants of Saul : so that 
his name was much f set by.

ND Saul spake to Jonathan his

2 But Jonathan, Saul's son, ^de- 
lighted much in David : and Jona-

fore, I pray thee, take heed to thy- 
self until the morning, and abide in 
a secret place, and hide thyself: 

3 And I will go out and stand be- 
side my father in the field where thou 
art, and I will commune with my fa- 
ther of thee ; and what I see, that I 
Avill tell thee. 

4 II And Jonathan ^ spake good of 
David unto Saul his father, and said 
unto him. Let not the king ^sin a- 
gainst his servant, against David ; 
because he hath not sinned against 
thee, and because his works /Mueieen

5 For he did put his ''life in his

^the Lord wrought a great salvation 
for all Israel : thou sawest it, and 
didst rejoice : g wherefore then wilt 
thou ''sin against innocent blood, to 
slay David without a cause ? 

6 And Saul hearkened unto the 
voice of Jonathan : and Saul sware. 
As the Lord liveth, he shall not be 
slain. 

7 And Jonathan called David, and 
Jonathan shewed him all those things. 
And Jonathan brought David to Saul, 
and he was in his presence, 'as -j- in 
times past.

David went out, and fought with the 
Philistines, and slew them with a

11 'Saul also sent messengers unto 
David's house, to watch him, and to 
slay him in the morning: and Michal, 
David's wife, told him, saying, If thou 
save not thy life to-night, to-morrow 
thou shalt be slain. 

12 1[So Michal ^let David down 
through a window : and he went, and 
fled, and escaped. 

13 And Michal took an f image, 
and laid it in the bed, and put a pil- 
low of goats' hair for his bolster, and 
covered it with a cloth. 

14 And when Saul sent messengers 
to take David, she said. He is sick. 

15 And Saul sent the messengers 
again to see David, saying. Bring 
him up to me in the bed, that I may 
slay him. 

1 6 And when the messengers were 
come in, behold, there was an image 
in the bed, with a pillow of goats' 
hair for his bolster. 

17 And Saul said unto Michal, Why 
hast thou deceived me so, and sent 
away mine enemy, that he is escaped ? 
And Michal answered Saul, He said 
unto me. Let me go ; "why should I 
kill thee ? 

18 ^ So David fled, and escaped, 
and came to Samuel to Ramah, and 
told him all that Saul had done to 
him. And he and Samuel went and 
dwelt in Naioth. 

19 And it was told Saul, saying. 
Behold, David is at Naioth in Ra- 
mah. 

20 And ° Saul sent messengers to 
take David : p and when they saw the 
company of the prophets prophesy- 
ing, and Samuel standing as appoint- 
ed over them, the Spirit of Gpd was 
upon the messengers of Saul, and 
they also q prophesied. 

21 And when it was told Saul, he 
sent other messengers, and they pro- 
phesied likevnse. And Saul sent 
messengers again the third time, and 
they prophesied also. 

22 Then went he also to Ramah, 
and came to a great well that is in 
Sechu : and he asked and said. 
Where are Samuel and David? And 
one said. Behold, theij he at Naioth

24 ^And he stripped ofFhis clothes

my sin before thy father, that he 
seeketh my life ? 

2 And he said unto him, God for- 
bid ; thou shalt not die : behold, my 
father will do nothing either great 
or small, but that he will f shew it 
me : and why should my father hide 
this thing fi-om me ? it is not so. 

3 And David sware moreover, and 
said. Thy father certainly knoweth 
that I have found grace in thine eyes; 
and he saith. Let not Jonathan know 
this, lest he be grieved : But truly as 
the Lord liveth, and as thy soul 
Itveth, there is but a step between 
me and death. 

4 Then said Jonathan unto David, 

II Whatsoever thy sou! f desireth, I 
will even do it for thee. 

5 And David said unto Jonathan, 
Behold, to-morrow /sthe "new moon, 
and I should not fail to sit with the 
king at meat : but let me go, that 1 
may ^'hide myself in the field unto 
the third day at even. 

() If thy father at all miss me, then 
say, David earnestly asked have of 
me, that he might run f^to Beth-lehem 
his city : for there is a yearly || sacri- 
fice there for all the family. 

7 'i If he say thus, It is well ; thy 
servant shall have peace : but if he 
be very wroth, then be sure that 
eevil is determined by him. 

8 Therefore thou shalt 'deal kindly 
with thy servant ; for sthou hast

standing, ^ if there be in m^ iniquity 
slay me thyself ; for why shouldest 
thou bring me to thy father ? 

9 And Jonathan said. Far be it from 
thee : for if I knew certainly that evil 
were determined by my father to 
come upon thee, then would not I 
tell it thee ? 

10 Then said David to Jonathan, 
Who shall tell me? or what if thy 
father answer thee roughly '? 

11 TI And Jonathan said unto Da- 
vid, Come, and let us go out into the 
field. And they went out both of 
them into the field. 

12 And Jonathan said unto David, 
O Lord God of Israel, when I have 
f sounded my father about to-morrow 
any time, or the third day, and be- 
hold, if there fee good toward David, 
and I then send not unto thee, and 
f shew it thee ; 

13 'The Lord do so and much 
more to Jonathan ; but if it please 
my father to do thee evil, then I will 
shew it thee, and send thee away, 
that thou mayest go in peace : and 
''"the Lord be with thee, as he hath 
been with my father. 

14 And thou shalt not only while 
yet I live sliew me the kindness of 
the Lord, that I die not : 

15 But also 'thou shalt not cut off 
thy kindness from my house for ever: 
no, not when the Lord hath cut off 
the enemies of David every one 
froiB the face of the earth. 

16 So Jonathan fmade a covenant 
with the house of David, saying, 
"'Let the Lord even require it at 
the hand of David's enemies. 

17 And Jonathan caused David to 
swear again, || because he loved him: 
"for he loved him as he loved his 
own soul. 

18 Then Jonathan said to David, 
° To-morrow is the new-moon : and 
thou shalt be missed, because thy 
seat will be f empty. 

19 And when thou hast stayed 
three days, then thou shalt go down 
II f quickly, and come to P the place 
where thou didst hide thyself f when 
the business was in hand, and shalt

20 And I will shoot three arrows

Saul, 7nissnig David, I. SAMUEL. 

21 And behold, I "will send a lad 
saying, Go, find out the arrows. II" 
1 expressly say unto the lad, Behold, 
the arrows are on this side of thee, 
take them ; then come thou : for 
there is peace to thee, and j no hurt : 
'J as the Lord liveth. 

22 But if I say thus unto the young 
man. Behold, the arrows a>-e beyond 
thee ; go thy way : for the Lord hath 
sent thee away. 

23 And as touching ""the matter 
which thou and I have spoken of, 
behold, the Lord he between thee 
and me for ever. 

24 *il So David hid himself in the 
field : and when the new-moon was 
come, the kuig sat him down to eat 
meat. 

25 And the king sat upon his seat, 
as at other times, even upon a seat 
by the wall : and Jonathan arose, 
and Abner sat by Saul's side, and 
David's place was empty. 

2G Nevertheless Saul spake not any 
thing that day : for he thought. Some- 
thing hath befallen him, he ?s ^not' 
clean ; surely he is not clean. 

27 And it came to pass on the mor- 
row, which was the second day of the 
month, that David's place was emp- 
ty : and Saul said unto Jonathan his 
son, Wherefore cometh not the son 
of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, 
nor to-day ? 

28 And Jonathan * answered Saul, 
David earnestly asked leave of me 
to go to Beth-lehem: 

2!y And he said. Let me go, I pray 
thee , for our family hath a sacrifice 
in the city ; and my brother he hath 
commanded me to be there: and now^ 
if I have found favonr in thine eyes, 
let me get away, I pray thee, and 
see my brethren. Therefore he 
cometh not unto the king's table. 

30 Then Saul's anger was kindled 
against Jonathan, and he said unto 
him, II j Thou son of the pei-\-erse re- 
bellious woman, do not I know that 
ihou hast chosen the son of Jesse to 
ihine own confusion, and unto the 
confusion of thy mother's nakedness ? 

31 For as long as the son of Jesse 
liveth upon the ground, thou shalt 
not be established, nor thy kingdom. 
Wherefore now send and fetch him 
unto me, for he f shall surely die.

32 And Jonathan answered Saul his 
father, and said unto him, " Where- 
fore shall he be slain ? what hath he 
done ? 

33 And Saul ^cast a javehn at him 
to smite him : y whereby Jonathan 
knew that it was determined of his 
father to slay David. 

34 So Jonathan arose from the ta- 
ble in fierce anger, and did eat no 
meat the second day of the month : 
for he was grieved for David, because 
his father had done him shame. 

35 % And it came to pass in the 
morning, that Jonathan went out in- 
to the field at the time appointed with 
David, and a little lad with him. 

36 And he said unto his lad, Run, 
find out now the arrows which I 
shoot. And, as the lad ran, he shot 
an arrow f beyond liim. 

37 And when the lad was come lo 
the place of the arrow which Jona- 
than had shot, Jonathan cried after 
the lad, and said. Is not the arrow 
beyond thee ? 

38 And Jonathan cried after the 
lad. Make speed, haste, stay not. And 
Jonathan's lad gathered up the ar- 
rows, and came to his master. 

39 But the lad knew not any thing : 
only Jonathan and David knew the 
matter. 

40 And Jonathan gave his f artil- 
leiy unto f his lad, and said unto 
him, Go, carry them to the city. 

41 ^ And as soon as the lad was 
gone, David arose out of a place to- 
ward the south, and fell on his face 
to the ground, and bowed himself 
three times : and they kissed one 
another, and wept one with another, 
until David exceeded. 

42 And Jonathan said to David, 
^Go in peace, || forasmuch as wehave 
sworn both of us in the name of the 
Lord, saying, The Lord be between 
me and thee, and between my seed 
and thy seed for ever. And he arose 
and departed : and Jonathan went 
into the city.

of David, and said unto him, Wiiy

2 And David said unto Ahimelech 
the priest, The king hath command- 
ed me a business, and hath said unto 
me. Let no man know any thing of 
the business whereabout I send thee, 
and what I have commanded thee : 
and I have appointed my servants to 
such and such a place. 

3 Now therefore M'hat is under thy 
hand? give me five haves «/" bread in 
my hand, or what there is f present. 

4 And the priest answered David, 
and said, There is no common bread 
under my hand, but there is ''lial- 
lowed bread ; '' if the young men have 
kept themselves at least from women. 

.5 And David answered the priest, 
and said unto iiim, Of a truth women 
have been kept from us about these 
three days, since I came out, and the 
^vessels of the young men are holy, 
and the bread is in a manner com- 
mon, II yea, though it were sanctified 
this day Hn the vessel. 

8o the priest ?gave him hallowed 
bread: for there was no bread there 
but the shew-bread, ''that was taken 
from before the I^ord, to put hot 
bread in the day when it was taken 
away. 

7 Now a certain man of the sers'ants 
of Saul was there that day, detained 
before the Lord ; and his name was 
'Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of 
the herdmen that belonged to Saul. 

8 lIAnd David said unto Ahime- 
lech, And is there not here under 
thy iiand spear or sword? for I have 
neither brought my sword nor my 
weapons with me, because the king's 
business required haste. 

9 And the priest said, The sword 
of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou 
slowest in ^the valley of Elah, 'be- 
hold, it is here wrapped in a cloth be- 
hind the ephod: if thou wilt take 
that, take it : for ihey-e is no other 
save that here. And David said, 
There is none like that; give it me. 

10^ And David arose, and fled 
that day for fear of Saul, and went 
to IJAchish the king of Gath.

it, they went down thither to him. 

2 "^And every one tliat was in dis-

debt, and everj'^ one that was f dis-

him about four hundred men.

mother, I pray thee, come forth, and 
he with you, till I know what God

was discovered, and the men that were 
with him, (now Saul abode inGibeah

7 Then Saul said unto his servants 
that stood about him, Hear now, ye 
Benjamites; w^ill the son of Jesse 
egive every one of you fields and 
vineyards, and make you all cap- 
tains of thousands, and captains of 
hundreds; 

8 That all of you have conspired 
against me, and there is none that 
fsheweth me that ^my son hath made 
a league with the son of Jesse, and 
ihet^e is none of you that is sorry for 
me, or sheweth unto me that my son 
hath stirred up my servant against 
me, to lie in wait, as at this day ? 

9 T[ Then answered s Doeg the 
Edomite, which was set over the 
servants of Saul, and said, I saw 
the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to 
" Ahimelech the son of > Ahitub. 

10 "^And he inquired of the Lord 
for him, and igave him victuals, and 
gave him the sword of Goliath the 
Philistine. 

1 1 Then the king sent to call Ahi- 
melech the priest, the son of Ahitub, 
and all his father's house, the priests 
that were in Nob : and they came all 
of them to the king. 

12 And Saul said, Hear now, thou 
son of Ahitub. And he answered, 
f Here I am, my lord. 

13 And Saul said unto him. Why 
have ye conspired against me, thou 
and the son of Jesse, in that thou 
hast given him bread, and a sword, 
and hast inquired of God for him, 
that he should rise against me, to lie 
in wait, as at this day ? 

14 Then Ahimelech answered the 
king, and said. And who is so faith- 
ful among all thy servants as David, 
which is the king's son-in-law, and 
goeth at thy bidding, and is honour- 
able in thy house ? 

15 Did I then begin to inquire of

'"would not put forth their hand to

Saul had slain the Lord's priests. 

22 And David said unto Abiathar, 
I knew it that day, when Doeg the 
Edomite was there, that he would 
surely tell Saul : I have occasioned 
the death of all the persons of thy 
father's house.

1 David, inquiring of (he Lord by Abiathar, rcs-

of Saul, and the treachery of the Keilites, he 
escapeth from Keilah. }4 In Ziph Jonathan

discover him to Saul. 25 At Maonhe is rescued 
from Saul by the invasioyi of the Philistines. 
29 He dwelleth at En-gedi. 

THEN they told David, saying, 
Behold, the Philistines fight 
against a Keilah, and they rob the 
threshing-floors. 

2 Therefore David '^ inquired of the 
Lord, saying. Shall I go and smite 
these Phihstines? And the Lord said 
unto David, Go, and smite the Phi- 
listines, and save Keilah. 

3 And David's men said unto him, 
Behold, we be afraid here in Judah : 
how much more then if we come to 
Keilah against the armies of the Phi- 
listines ?

yet again. And the Lord answered 
him, and said, Arise, go down to Kei-

5 So David and his men went to 
Keilah, and fought with the Philis 
tines, and brought away their cattle, 
and smote them with a great slaugh- 
ter. So David saved the inhabitants 
of Keilah. 

6 And it came to pass, when Abl 
athar the son of Ahimelech <=fied to 
David to Keilah, that he came down 
with an ephod in his hand. 

7 TIAnd it was told Saul that Da 
vid was come to Keilah. And Saul 
said, God hath delivered him into 
my hand ; for lie is shut in, by en 
tcring into a town that hath gates 
and bars. 

8 And Saul called all the people 
together to war, to go down to Kei- 
lah, to besiege David and iiis men. 

I) If And David knew that Saul se- 
cretly practisedmischielagainst him; 
and •'he said to Abiathar the priest, 
Bring hither the ephod. 

10 Then said David, O Lord God 
of Israel, thy servant hath certainly 
heard tiiat Saul seeketh to come to 
Keilah, «^^lo destroy the city for my 
sake. 

11 Will the men of Keilah deliver

down, as thy servant liatli heard f O

lie will come down. 

12 Then said David, Will the men 
of Keilah f deliver me and my men 
into the hand of Saul ! And the Loud 
said, They will deliver tliee up. 

13 Tl Then David and his men, 
^which were about six hundred, arose 
and departed out of Keilah, and went 
whithersoever they could go. Audit 
was told Saul that David was escaped 
from Keilah ; and he forbare to go 
forth.

The Ziphites discover David to Saul. 

rose, and went to David into the wood, 
and strengthened his hand in God. 

17 And he said unto him. Fear not : 
for the hand of Saul my father shall 
not find thee ; and thou shalt be king 
over Israel, and I shall be next unto 
thee; and ^that also Saul my father 
knoweth. 

18 And they two 'made a covenant 
before the Lord: and David abode 
in the wood, and Jonathan went to 
his house. 

19 TlThen ™came up the Ziphites 
to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not 
David hide himself with us in strong 
holds in the wood, in the hill of Ha- 
chilah, which is f on the south of 
1 Jeshimon? 

20 Now therefore, O king, come 
down according to all the desire of 
thy soul to come down; and "our 
part sliall he to deliver him into the 
king's hand. 

21 And Saul said. Blessed he ye of 
the Lord; for yc have compassion 
on me. 

22 Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and 
know, and see his place where his 
t haunt is, and who hath seen him 
there : for it is told me tJiat he deal- 
eth very subtilely. 

23 See therefore, and take know- 
ledge of all the lurkiug places where 
he hideth himself, and come ye again 
to me with the certainty, and I will 
go with you : and it shall come to 
pass, if he be in the land, that I will 
search him out throaghout all the 
thousands of Judah. 

24 And they arose, and went to Ziph 
before Saul : but David and his men 
were in the wilderness ^of Maon, in 
the plain on the south of Jeshimon. 

25 Saul also and his men went to 
seek Imn. And they told David : 
wherefore he came down || into a 
rock, and abode in the wilderness of 
Maon. And when Saul heard that, 
he pursued after David in the wilder- 
ness of Maon. 

26 And Saul went on this side of 
the mountain, and David and his men 
on that side of the mountain: Pand 
David made haste to get away for 
fear of Saul ; for Saul and his men 
1 compassed David and his men round 
about to take them. 

27 Tf rBut there came a messenger 

327 



David cuttelh off Saul's skirts 

unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and 
come ; for the Philistines have f in- 
vaded the land. 

28 Wherefore Saul returned from 
pursuing after David, and went a- 
gainst the Philistines : therefore they 
called that place || Sela-hammah-le 
koth, 

29 "ilAnd David went up from 
thence, and dwelt in strong holds at 
*En-gedi. 

CHAP. XXIV. 

IDavid in a cave at'En-gedi, having cut ojf Saul's 
skirt, spareth his life. 8 He sneweth thereby 
hisinnocency. 16 Saul, ackno pledging hU fault, 
iaketh an oath of David, and departeth. 

AND it came to pass, ^^when Saul 
was retui'ned from ■\ following 
the Philistines, that it was told him, 
saying. Behold, David is in the wil- 
derness of En-gedi. 

2 Then Saul took three thousand 
chosen men out of all Israel, and 
*'went to seek David and his men 
upon the rocks of the wild goats. 

3 And he came to the sheep-cotes 
by the way, where was a cave ; and 
♦■-Saul went in to "^ cover his feet : 
and ''David and his men remained in 
the sides of the cave. 

4 f And the men of David said unto 
him, Behold the day of which the 
Lord said unto thee, Behold, I will 
deliver thine enemy into thy hand, 
that thou mayest do to him as it shall 
seem good unto thee. Then David 
arose, and cut ofTthe skirt of \ Saul's 
robe privily. 

5 And it came to pass afterward, 
that g David's heart smote him, be- 
cause he had cut off Saul's skirt. 

6 And he said unto his men, '^The 
Lord forbid that I should do this 
thing unto my master, the Lord's 
anointed, to stretch forth my hand 
against him, seeing he is the anoint- 
ed of the Lord. 

7 So David j- 'stayed his servants 
with these words, and suffered them 
not to rise against Saul. But Saul 
rose up out of the cave, and went on 
his way. 

8 David also arose afterward, and 
went out of the cave, and cried after 
Saul, saying, My lord the king. And 
when Saul looked behind him, Da- 
vid stooped with his face to the earth, 
and bowed himself.

Saul acknoivledgeth his fault. 

fore hearest thou men's words, say- 
ing. Behold, David seeketh thy hurt ? 

10 Behold, this day thine eyes have 
seen how that the Lord hath deliver- 
ed thee to-day into my hand in the 
cave : and some bade me kill thee ; 
but mine eye spared thee; and I 
said, I will not put forth my hand a- 
gainst my lord ; for he is the Lord's 
anointed. 

11 Moreover, my father, see, yea, 
see the skirt of thy robe in my hand : 
for in that I cut off the skirt of thy 
robe, and killed thee not, know thou 
and see that there is ^ neither evil nor 
transgression in my hand, and I have 
not sinned against thee ; yet thou 
™huntest my soul to take it. 

12 '^The Lord judge between me 
and thee, and the Lord avenge me 
of thee : but my hand shall not be 
upon thee. 

13 As saith the proverb of the an- 
cients, Wickedness proceedeth from 
the wicked : but my hand shall not 
be upon thee. 

14 After whom is the king of Israel 
come out? after vvhom dost thou pur- 
sue ? ° after a dead dog, after P a fiea? 

15 iThe Lord therefore be judge, 
and judge between me and thee, and 
''see, and ^ plead my cause, and f de- 
liver me out of thy hand, 

16 TI And it came to pass when 
David had made an end of speaking 
these words unto Saul, that Saul said, 
t/s this thy voice, my son David 1 
And Saul lifted up his voice, and 
wept. 

17 "And he said to David, Thou art 
''more righteous than I : for ythou 
hast rewarded me good, whereas I 
have rewarded thee evil. 

18 And thou hast shewed this day 
how that thou hast dealt well with 
me ; forasmuch as when ^the Lord 
had fdehvered me into thy hand, 
thou killedst me not. 

1 9 For if a man find his enemy, will 
he let him go well away ? wherefore 
the Lord reward thee good, for that 
thou hast done unto me this day. 

20 And now, behold, ^I know well 
that thou shalt surely be king, and 
that the kingdom of Israel shall be 
established in thy hand. 

21 "^ Swear now therefore unto me 
by the Lord, "^that thou wilt not cut

■wilt not destroy my name out of my

22 And David sware unto Saul. 
And Saul went home ; but David 
and his men gat them up unto '^ the 
hold.

ND a Samuel died : and all the 
Israelites were gathered toge- 
ther, and ''lamented him, and buried 
him in his house at Ramah. And 
David arose, and went down '^ to the 
wilderness of Paran. 

2 And there was a man '^ in Maon, 
Avhose II jjossessions icctc in '-' Carmel ; 
and the man loas very great, and he 
had three thousand sheep, and athou- 
sand goats : and he was shearing 
his sheep in Carmel. 

3 Now the name of the man v;as 
Nabal ; and the name of his w ife 
Abigail : and she was a woman of 
good understanding, and of a beau 
liful countenance : but the man ti^as 
churlish and evil in his doings ; and 
he ivas of the house of Caleb. 

4 II And David heard in the wilde 
ness that Nabal did 'shear his sheep, j 

5 And David sent out ten young 
men, and David said unto the young 1 
men. Get you up to Carmel, and go 
to Nabal, and f greet him in my name : 

6 And thus shall ye say to him that; 
hveth hi prosperity, ? Peace he both 
to thee, and peace be to thy house,

7 And now I have heard that thou 
hast shearers : now thy shepherds

not, ''neitherwas there aught missing 
unto them, all the while they were 
in Carmel.

will shew thee. Wherefore let the

Nabal's churlishness. 

to all those words in the name of 
David, and | ceased. 

10 TI And Nabal answered David's 
servants, and said, i^Who is David 1 
and who is the son of Jesse ? there be 
many servants now-a-days that break 
away eveiy man from his master. 

11 'Shall I then take my bread, and 
my water, and my f flesh that I have 
killed for my shearers, and give it. 
unto men, whom I Icnow not whence 
they be ? 

12 So David's young men turned 
their way, and went again, and came 
and told him all those sayings. 

13 And David said unto his men, 
Gird ye on every man his sword. 
And they girded on every man his 
sword; and David also girded on 
his sword : and there went up after 
David about four hundred men ; and 
two hundred "1 abode by the stuff". 

14 "H But one of the young men 
)ld Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, 

Behold, David sent messengers out 
of the wilderness to salute our mas- 
ter; and he f railed on them. 

15 But the men icere veiy good un- 
to us, and "we were not f hurt, nei- 
ther missed we any thing, as long as 
we were conversant with them 
when we were in the fields : 

16 They were » a wall unto us both 
by night and day, all the while we 
were w ith them keeping the sheep. 

17 Now therefore know and con- 
sider what thou wilt do : for Pevil is 
determined against our master, and 
against all his household : for he is 
such a son of q Belial, that a man 
cannot speak to him. 

18 Tf Then Abigail made haste, and 
ftook tw'o hundred loaves, and two 
bottles of wine, and five sheep ready 
dressed, and five measuresof parched 
co7-n, and a hundred || clusters of 
raisins, and two hundred cakes of 
figs, and laid them on asses. 

19 And she said unto her sei-vants 
s Go on before me ; behold, I come 
after you. But she told not her hus 
band Nabal. 

20 And it was so, as she rode on 
the ass, that she came down by the 
covert of the hill, and behold, David 
and his men came down against her ; 
and she met them. 

21 (Now David had said, Surely in 

329 



Abigail's discreet conduct. 

vain have I kept all that this fellow 
hath in the wilderness, so that no- 
thing was missed of all that pertain- 
ed unto him : and he hatli " requited 
me evil for good. 

22 -^ So and more also do God unto 
the enemies of David, if I y leave of 
all that pertain to him by the morn- 
ing light '^any that pisseth against 
the wall.) 

23 And when Abigail saw David, 
she hasted, and a lighted off the ass, 
and fell before David on her face, 
and bowed herself to the ground, 

24 And fell at his feet, and said. 
Upon me, my lord, npon me let this 
iniquity be : and let thy handmaid, 

I pray thee, speak in thine f audience, 
and hear the words of thy handmaid. 

25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, 
■\ regard this man of Belial, even Na- 
bal : for as his name is, so is he ; 

II Nabal is his name, and folly is with 
him : but I thy handmaid saw not 
the young men of my lord, whom 
Ihou didst send. 

2G Now therefore, my lord, ^as 
the Lord liveth, and as thy soul 
liveth, seeing the Lord hath ■= with- 
holden thee from coming to shed 
blood, and from f <> avenging thyself 
with thine own hand, now ^let thine 
enemies, and they that seek evil to 
my lord, be as Nabal. 

27 And now ''this || blessing which 
thy liandmaid hath brought unto 
my lord, let it even be given unto the 
young men that f follow my lord. 

28 1 pray thee, forgive the trespass 
of thy handmaid: for sthe Lord 
will certainly make my lord a sure 
house ; because my lord '■ fighteth 
the battles of the Lord, and ' evil 
hath not been found in thee all thy 
days. 

29 Yet a man is risen to pursue 
thee, and to seek thy soul : but the 
soul of my lord shall be bound in the 
bundle of life with the Lord thy 
God ; and the souls of thine enemies, 
them shall he ^ sling out, f as out of 
the middle of a sling. 

30 And it shall come to pass, when 
the Lord shall have done to my lord 
according to all the good that he hath 
spoken concerning thee, and shall 
have appointed thee ruler over Israel;

shall have dealt well with my lord,

32 ^And David said to Abigail, 
' Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,

33 And blessed be thy advice, and 
blessed be thou, which hast ^ kept 
me this day from coming to shed

39 T[ And when David heard that 
Nabal was dead, he said, ^ Blessed be

cause of my reproach fi-om the hand

unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.

AND the Ziphitcs came unto Saul

2 Then Saul arose, and went down 
to the wilderness of Zipli, having 
three thousand chosen men of Is-

wilderness of Zipli. 

3 And Saul pitched in tlic hill of 
Ilaciiilah, which is before Jeshimon,

and David beheld the place where 
Saul lay, and ''Abncr the son of Ner, 
the captain of his host. And Saul lay 
in the |1 trench, and tiie people pitch- 
ed round about him. 

Then answered David and said to 
Ahinielech the IIittite,and to Abishai 
cthe son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, 
saying. Who will ''go down with me 
to Saul to the camp? And Abishai 
said, I will go down with thee. 

7 So David and Abishai came to the 
people by night: and behold, Saul 
lay sleeping within the trench, and 
his spear stuck in the ground at his 
bolster: I)ut Abner and the people 
lay round about him.

CHAP. XXVI. David again spai-eth Saul's life. 

hath f delivered thine enemy into 
thy hand this day: now therefore 
let me smite him, I pray thee, with 
the spear, even to the earth at once, 
and I will not smite him the second 
time. 

9 And David said to Abishai, De- 
stroy him not : «=for who can stretch 
forth his hand against the Lord's 
anointed, and be guiltless ? 

10 David said furthermore, As the 
Lord liveth, *'the Lord shall smite 
him; or shis day shall come to die ; 
or he shall ''descend into battle, and 
perish. 

11 'The Lord forbid that I should 
stretch forth my hand against the 
Lord's anointed: but, I pray thee, 
take thou now the spear that is at 
his bolster, and the cruse of water, 
and let us go. 

12 So David took the spear and the 
cruse of water from Saul's bolster ; 
and they gat them away, and no man 
saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked : 
for they wei-c all asleep ; because "^'a 
deep sleep from the Lord was fallen 
upon them. 

13 TlThen David went over to the 
other side and stood on the top oi 
a hill afar olf; a great space being 
between them : 

14 And David cried to the people, 
and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, 
Answerest thou not, Abner? Then 
Abner answered and said. Who art 
thou that criest to the king ? 

15 And David said to Abner, A)-t 
not tiiou a valiant man? and who is 
hke to theeinlsrael? Wherefore then 
hast thou not kept thy lord the king? 
for there came one of the people in 
to destroy the king thy lord. 

16 This thing is not good that thou 
hast done. As the Lord liveth, ye 
a?-e f worthy to die, because ye have 
not kept your master the Lord's 
anointed. And now see where the 
king's spear is, and the cruse of 
water that was at his bolster. 

17 And Saul knew David's voice, 
and said, '/s this thy voice, my son 
David? and David said, It is my 
voice, my lord, O king. 

18 And he said, "'Wherefore doth 
my lord thus pursue after his ser- 
vant ? for what have I done ? or 
what evil is in my hand ?

Saul achnowhdgeth his sin. 

19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let 
my lord the king hear the words of 
his servant. If the Lord have ° stirred 
thee up against me, let him f accept 
an offering: but if they be the chil- 
di'en of men, cursed be they before 
the Lord; °for they have driven me 
out this day from f abiding in the 
P inheritance of the Lord, saying. 
Go, serve other gods. 

20 Now therefore, let not my blood 
fall to the earth before the face of the 
Lord : for the king of Israel is come 
out to seek la flea, as when one doth 
hunt a partridge in the mountains. 

21 1l Then said Saul, ^I have sin- 
ned: return, my son David: for I 
will no more do thee harm, because 
my soul was ^precious in thine eyes 
this day: behold, I have played the 
fool, and have erred exceedingly. 

22 And David answered and said. 
Behold the king's spear 1 and let one 
of the young men come over and 
fetch it. 

23 tThe Lord render to every man 
his righteousness and his faithful- 
ness: for the Lord delivered thee 
into my hand to-day, but I would not 
stretch forth my hand against the 
Lord's anointed. 

24 And behold, as thy life was 
much set by this day in "mine eyes, 
so let my life be much set by inthe 
eyes of the Lord, and let him" deliver 
me out of all tribulation. 

25 Then Saul said to David, Bless- 
ed be thou, my son David: thou shalt 
both do great things, and also shalt 
still "prevail. So David went on his 
way, and Saul returned to his place.

AND David said in his heart, I 
shall now f perish one day by 
the hand of Saul: there is nothing 
better for me than that I should 
speedily escape into the land of the 
Philistines; and Saul shall despair 
of me, to seek me any more in any 
coast of Israel : so shall I escape out 
of his hand. 

2 And David arose, ^and he passed 
over with the six hundred men that 
were with him ^unto Achish, the son 
of Maoch, king of Gath,

David fleeth to Achish at Gath. 

3 And David dwelt with Achish at 
Gath, he and his men, every man 
with his household, even David "^with 
his two wives, Ahinoam the Jez- 
reelitess, and Abigail the Carme- 
litess, Nabal's wife. 

4 And it was told Saul that David 
was fled to Gath: and he sought no 
more again for him. 

5 TTAnd David said unto Achish, If 
I have now found grace in thine eyes, 
let them give me a place in some 
town in the countiy, that I may dwell 
there: for why should thy servant 
dwell in the royal city with thee ? 

6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag 
that day: wherefore ^Ziklag per- 
taineth unto the kings of Judah unto 
this day. 

7 And fthe time that David dwelt 
in the country of the Philistines was 
f a full year and four months. 

8 "U And David and his men went 
up, and invaded <=the Geshurites,fand 
the IIGezrites, and the ^Amalekites: 
for those nations were of old the in- 
habitants of the land, '>as thou goest 
to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt. 

9 And David smote the land, and 
left neither man nor woman alive, 
and took away the sheep, and the 
oxen, and the asses, and the camels, 
and the apparel, and returned, and 
came to Achish. 

10 And x\chish said, || Whither have 
ye made a road to-day ? And David 
said, Against the south of Judah, and 
against the south of khe Jerahmeel- 
ites, and against the south of ^the 
Kenites. 

11 And David saved neither man 
nor woman alive, to bring tidings to 
Gath, saying. Lest they should tell on 
us, saying, So did David, and so will 
be his manner all the while he dwell- 
eth in the country of the Philistines. 

12 And Achish believed David, say- 
ing. He hath made his people Israel 
f utterly to abhor him ; therefore he 
shall be mv servant for ever.

Saul secketh to a icitch at En-dor. CHAP. XXVIII 

thered their armies together for Avar- 
fare, to fight with Israel. And Achish 
said unto David, Kjiow tliou assured- 
ly, that thou shalt go out with me to 
battle, thou and thy men. 

2 And David said to Achish, Surely 
ihou shalt know what thy servant 
can do. And Achish said to David, 
Therefore w ill I make thee keeper 
of my head for ever. 

3 If Now "j Samuel was dead, and 
all Israel had lamented him, and bu- 
ried him in Ramah, even in his own 
city. And Saul had put away *: those 
that had familiar spirits, and the wiz- 
ards, out of the land. 

4 And the Philistinesgathered them- 
selves together, and came and pitch- 
ed in <i Shunem : and Saul gathered 
all Israel together, and they pitched 
in eGilboa. 

5 And when Saul saw tiie host of 
the Philistines, he was ''afraid, and 
his heart greatly trembled. 

6 And when Saul inquired of the 
Loud, ?tho Loud answered him not, 
neither by ''dreams, nor 'by Urim, 
nor by prophets, 

7 TlThen said Saul unto his ser- 
vants. Seek me a woman that hath a 
familiar spirit, that I may go to her, 
and inquire of her. And his servants 
said to him, Behold, tliereis a woman 
that hath a familiar spirit at En-dor. 

8 And Saul disguised himself, and 
put on other raiment, and he went, 
and two men with him, and they 
came to the woman by night : and 
'' he said, I pray thee, divine unto me 
by the familiar spirit, and bring me 
him up, whom 1 shall name unto 
thee. 

And the woman said unto him, 
Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath 
done, how he hath ' cut off those that 
have familiar spirits, and the wizards, 
out of the laud ; wherefore then 
iayest thou a snare for my life, to 
cau.se me to die ? 

10 And Saul sware to her by the 
Loud, saying, As the Loud liveth, 
there shall no punishment happen to 
thee for this thing. 

11 Then said the woman. Whom 
shall I bring up unto thee ? And he 
said. Bring me up Samuel. 

12 And when the woman saw Sa- 
muel, she cried with a loud voice :

, Smil, informed of his ruin,fainteth. 
and the woman spake to Saul, say- 
ing, Why hast thou deceived me ? 
for thou art Saul. 

13 And the king said unto her. Be 
not afraid : for what sawest thou l 
And the woman said unto Saul, I saw 
"igods ascending out of the earth. 

14 And he said unto her, fWhat 
form is he of? And she said, An old 
man cometh up ; and he is covered 
with n a mantle. And Saul perceived 
that it was Samuel, and he stooped 
with his face to the ground, and 
bowed himself. 

15 "H And Samuel said to Saul, Why 
hast thou disquieted me, to bring me 
up ? and Saul answered, P I am sore 
distressed ; for the Philistines make 
war against me, and 4 God is depart- 
ed from me, and ■'answereth me no 
more, neither f by prophets, nor by 
dreams : therefore I have called thee, 
that thou mayest make known unto 
me what I shall do. 

16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore 
then dost thou ask of me, seeing the 
Loud is departed from thee, and is 
become thine enemy ? 

17 And the Loud hath done ||to 
him, 'as he spake by fine : for the 
Loud hath rent the kingdom out of 
thy hand, and given it to thy neigh- 
bour, even to David : 

18 "^ Because thou obeyedst not the 
voice of the Loud, nor executcdst 
his fierce wrath upon Amaiek, there- 
fore hath the Lord done this thing 
unto thee this day. 

19 JNIoreover, the Loud will also 
deliver Israel with thee into the hand 
of the Philistines : and to-morrow 
shalt thou and thy sons he with me : 
the Loud also shall deliver the host 
of Israel into the hand of the Philis- 
tines. 

20 Then Saul f fell straightway all 
along on the earth, and was sore 
afraid, because of the words of Sa- 
muel : and there was no strength in 
him ; for he had eaten no bread all 
the day, nor all the night. 

21 TI And the woman came unto 
Saul, and saw that he was sore 
troubled, and said unto him, Behold, 
thy handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, 
and I have ^ put my life in my hand, 
and have hearkened unto thy words 
which thou spakest unto me. 

333 



The Philistines are jealous of David. 

22 Now therefore, I pray thee, 
hearken thou also unto the voice of 
thy handmaid, and let me set a mor- 
sel of bread before thee ; and eat, 
that thou mayest have strength 
when thou goest on thy way. 

23 But he refused, and said, I will 
not eat. But his servants, together 
with the woman, compelled him ; 
and he hearkened unto their voice. 
So he arose from the earth, and sat 
upon the bed. 

24 And the woman had a fat calf in 
the house ; and she hasted, and kill- 
ed it, and took flour, and kneaded 
it, and did bake unleavened bread 
thereof: 

25 And she brought it before Saul, 
and before his servants ; and they 
did eat. Then tney arose up, and 
went away that night.

2 And the lords of the Philistines

3 Then said the princes of the Phi-

And Achish said unto the princes of 
the Philistines, Is not this David, the 
servant of Saul the king of Israel, 
which hath been with me ^ these days, 
or these years, and I have ^found no 
fault in him since he fell unto me 
unto this day ? 

4 And the princesof the Philistines 
were wroth with him; and the princes

fjMake this fellow return, that he 
may go again to his place which thou 
hast appointed him, and let him not

not he with the heads of these men ?

David pursueth the A/nakkiles, CHAP. XXX. 

5 And David's ''two wives were 
taken captives, Aiiinoani the Jez- 
reclitess, and Abigail the wife of 
Nabal the Carmehte. 

6 And Uavid was greatly distress- 
ed : <= for the people spake of stoning 
him, because the soul of all the peo- 
ple was f grieved, every man forliis 
sons, and for his daughters : '' but 
David encouraged himself in the 
Lord his God. 

7 cAnd David said to Abiathar the 
priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee 
bring me hither the ephod. And 
Abiathar brought thither the ephod 
to David. 

8 f And David inquired at the Lord, 
saying. Shall I pursue after this 
troop '( shall I overtake them ? And 
he answered him. Pursue : for thou 
shalt surely overtake litem, and with- 
out fail recover all. 

9 So David went, he and the six 
hundred men that were with him, 
and came to tlie brook Besor, where 
those that were left behind stayed. 

10 But David pursued, he and four

1 1 TI And they found an Egyptian 
in the field, and brought him to Da- 
vid, and gave him bread, and he did 
cat ; and they made him drink water ; 

12 And they gave him a jMCce of a 
cake of figs, and two clusters of rai- 
sins: and ''when he had eaten, his 
spirit came again to him : for he had 
eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, 
three days and three nights. 

13 And David said unto him, To 
whom helongest thou ? and whence 
art thou i And he said, I am a young 
man of Egypt, servant to an Amalek- 
ite ; and my master left me, because 
three days agone I fell sick. 

14 We made an invasion upon the 
south of 'tiie Chercthites, and upon 
the coast which belongcth to Judah, 
and upon the south of i^ Caleb ; and 
•we burned Ziklag with fire. 

15 And David said to him. Canst 
thou bring me down to this com- 
pany? And he said. Swear unto me 
by God, tliat thou wilt neither kill 
me, nor deliver me into the hands of 
my master, and I will bring thee 
down to this company.

16 TIAnd when he had brought him 
down, behold, they were spread a- 
broad upon all the earth, 'eating and 
drinking, and dancing, because of all 
the great spoil that they had taken 
out of the land of the Philistines, and 
out of the land of Judah. 

17 And David smote them from 
the twilight even unto the evening 
of f the next day : and there escaped 
not a man of them, save four hun- 
dred young men, which rode upon 
camels, and fled. 

18 And David recovered all that 
the Amalekites had carried away: 
and David rescued his two wives. 

19 And tiiere was nothing lacking 
to them, neither small nor great, nei- 
ther sons nor daughters, neither spoil, 
nor any thing that they had taken to 
them: "i David recovered all. 

20 And David took all tlie flocks 
and the herds, which they drave be- 
fore those other cattle, and said, This 
is David's spoil. 

21 "HAnd David came to the "two 
hundred men, which were so faint 
that they could not follow David, 
whom they had made also to abide 
at the brook Besor: and they went 
forth to meet David, and to meet 
the people that were with him: and 
when David came near to the people, 
he II saluted them. 

22 Then answered all the wicked 
men, and men ° of Belial, of f those 
that went with David, and said. Be- 
cause they went not with us, we will 
not give them aught of the spoil that 
we have recovered, save to every man 
his wife and his children, that they 
may lead them away, and depart. 

23 Then said David, Ye shall not 
do so, my brethren, with that which 
the Lord hath given us, who hath 
preserved us, and delivered the com- 
pany that came against us into our 
hand. 

24 For who will hearken unto you 
in this matter? but Pas his part is 
that goeth down to the battle, so 
shall his part be that tarrieth by the 
stuff": they shall part alike. 

25 And it was sa from that day 
f forward, that he made it a statute 
and an ordinance for Israel unto this 
day.

mour-bearer would not : ?for he was 
sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a 
sword, and ''fell upon it. 

5 And when his armour-bearer saw 
that Saul was dead, he fell hkewise 
upon his sword, and died with him. 

6 So Saul died, and his three sons, 
and his armour-bearer, and all his 
men, that same day together. 

7 *ii And when the men of Israel that 
were on the other side of the valley, 
and they that were on the other side 
Jordan saw that the men of Israel 
fled, and that Saul and his sons were 
dead, they forsook the cities, and 
fled ; and the Philistines came and 
dwelt in them. 

8 And it came to pass on the mor- 
row, when the Phihstines came to 
strip the slain, that they found Saul 
and his three sons fallen in mount 
Gilboa, 

9 And they cut off his head, and 
stripped off his armour, and sent in- 
to the land of the Philistines round 
about, to 'publish it in the house of 
their idols, and among the people. 

10 ''And they put his armour in

David lamentelh over 

to David, that he fell to the earth, 
and did obeisance. 

3 And David said unto him. From 
whence comest thou ? And he said 
unto him. Out of the camp of Israel 
am I escaped. 

4 And David said unto him, f How 
went the matter ? 1 pray thee, tell 
me. And he answered, That the 
people are fled from the battle, and 
many of the people also are fallen 
and dead ; and Saul and Jonathan 
his son are dead also. 

5 And David said unto the young 
man that told him. How knowest 
thou that Saul and Jonathan his son 
be dead ? 

6 And the young man that told 
him said. As 1 happened hy chance 
upon d mount Gilboa, behold, ''Saul 
leaned upon his spear ; and lo, the 
chariots and horsemen followed hard 
after him. 

7 And when he looked behind him, 
he saw me, and called unto me. 
And I answered, f Here am I. 

8 And he said unto me, Who art 
thou ? And I answered him, I am an 
Amalekite. 

9 He said unto me again. Stand, I 
pray thee, upon me, and slay me : 
for II anguish is come upon me, be- 
cause my life is yet whole in me. 

10 So I stood upon him, and ^ slew 
him, because I was sure that he could 
not live after that he was fallen : and 
I took the crown that was upon his 
head, and the bracelet that was on 
his arm, and have brought them 
hither unto my lord. 

11 Then David took hold on his 
clothes, and grent them; and like- 
wise all the men that were with him : 

12 And they mourned and wept, 
and fasted until even, for Saul and 
for Jonathan his son, and for the 
people of the Lord, and for the 
house of Israel ; because they were 
fallen by the sword. 

1 3 H And David said unto the young 
man that told him, Wlience art thou? 
And he answered, I am the son of a 
stranger, an Amalekite,

of Jonathan turned not back, and the

were » stronger than lions.

13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, 
and the servants of David went out, 
and met f together by "' the pool of 
Gibeon : and they sat down, the one 
on the one side of the pool, and the 
other on the other side of the pool. 

14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the 
young men now arise, and play before 
us. And Joab said. Let them arise. 

15 Then there arose, and went over 
by number, twelve of Benjamin, 
which pertained to Ish-bosheth the 
son of vSaul, and twelve of the ser- 
vants of David. 

16 And they caught every one his 
fellow by the head, and thrust his 
sword in his fellow's side : so they 
fell down together : wherefore that 
place was called || Helkath-hazzurim, 
which is in Gibeon. 

17 And there was a very sore battle 
that day ; and Abner was beaten, 
and the men of Israel, before the 
sei-vants of David. 

18 "H And there were ° three sons of 
Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai.and 
Asahel: and Asahel icas °as 
fof foot f P as a wild roe. 

19 And Asahel, pursued after Ab- 
ner ; and in going he turned not to 
the right hand nor to the left j from 
following Abner. 

20 Then Abner looked behind him, 
and said, A7-t thou Asahel? And he 
answered, I am. 

21 And Abner said to him. Turn 
thee aside to thy right hand or to 
thy left, and lay thee hold on one of 
the j'oung men, and take thee his 
II armour. But Asahel would not 
turn aside from following him. 

22 And Abner said again to Asahel, 
Turn thee aside from following me: 
wherefore should I smite thee to the 
ground? how then should I hold up 
my face to Joab thy brother ? 

23 Howbeit he refused to turn aside: 
wherefore Abnerwiththe hinder end 
of the spear smote him i under the 
fifth rib, that the spear came out be- 
hind him ; and he fell dov.n there, 
and died in the same place : and it 
came to pass, that as many as came 
to the place where Asahel fell down 
and died, stood still. 

24 Joab also and Abishai pursued 
after Abner : and the sun went down 
when they were come to the hill of

25 ^ And the children of Benjamin 
gathered themselves together after 
Abner, and became one troop, and 
stood on the top of a hill. 

20 Then Abner called to Joab, and 
said, Shall the sword devour for 
ever ? knowest thou not that it will 
be bitterness in the latter end ? how 
long shall it be then ere thou bid the 
people return from following their 
brethren ? 

27 And Joab said, As God liveth, 
unless ""thou hadst spoken, surely 
then f in the morning the people had 
II gone up every one from following 
his brother. 

28 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all 
the people stood still, and pursued 
after Israel no more, neither fought 
they any more. 

29 And Abner and his men walked 
all that night through the plain, and 
passed over Jordan, and went 
through all Bith-ron, and they came 
to Mahanaim. 

30 And Joab returned from follow- 
ing Abner: and when he had ga- 
thered all the people together, there 
lacked of David's servants nineteen 
men, and Asahel. 

31 But the servants of David had 
smitten of Benjamin, and of Abners 
men, so that three hundred and 
threescore men died. 

32 ^ And they took up Asahel, and 
buried him in the sepulchre of his 
father, which was in Beth-lchem. 
And Joab and his men went all night, 
and they came to Hebron at break 
of day.

3 And his second, || Chileab, of Abi- 
gail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; 
and the third, Absalom the son of 
Maacah, the daughter of Talmai 
king <^ of Geshur ; 

4 And the fourth, ''Adonijah the 
son of Haggith; and the fifth, She- 
phatiah the son of Abital ; 

5 And the sixth, Ithream, by Eg- 
lah, David's Avife. These were born 
to David in Hebron. 

6 II And it came to pass,wliile there 
was war between the house of Saul 
and the house of David, that Abner 
made himself strong for the house of 
Saul. 

7 And Saul had a concubine, whose 
name u-as ^Rizpah, the daughter of 
Aiah: and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, 
Wherefore hast thou 'gone in unto 
my father's concubine ? 

8 Then was Abner very wroth for 
the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, 
Am I ea dog's head, which against 
Judah do shew kindness this day un- 
to the house of Saul jhy father, to his 
brethren, and to his friends, and have 
not delivered thee into the hand of 
David that thou chargest me to-day 
with a fault concerning this woman? 

9 '' So do God to Abner, and more 
also, except, ' as the Lord hath sworn 
to David, even so I do to him ; 

10 To translate the kingdom from 
the house of Saul, and to set up the 
throne of David over Israel and over 
Judah, 1^ from Dan even to Beer-sheba. 

1 1 And he could not answer Abner 
a word again, because he feared him. 

12 UAnd Abner sent messengers to 
David on his behalf, saying. Whose 
is the land ? saying also, Make thy 
league with me, and behold, my 
hand sliall be with thee, to 
about all Israel unto thee. 

13 'U And he said. Well; I will 
make a league with thee : but one 
thing I require of tiiee, f that is, ' Thou 
shalt not see my face, except thou 
first bring '"Michal, Saul's daughter, 
when thou comest to see my face. 

14 And David sent messengers to 
Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, saying. Deli-

poused to me " for a hundred fore- 
skins of the Philistines.

°Phaltiel the son of Laish. 

16 And her husband went Avith her 
f along weeping behind her to PBa- 
hurim. Then said Abner unto him, 
Go, return. And he returned. 

17 ^And Abner had communica- 
tion with the elders of Israel, saying, 
Ye sought for David fin times past 
to he king over you : 

18 Now then do it: qfor the Lord 
hath spoken of David, saying, By the 
hand of my servant David I will save 
my people Israel out of the hand of 
the Philistines, and out of the hand 
of all their enemies. 

19 And Abner also spake in the ears 
of r Benjamin : and Abner went also 
to speak in the ears of David in He- 
bron all that seemed good to Israel, 
and that seemed good to the whole 
house of Benjamin. 

20 So Abner came to David to He- 
bron, and twenty men with him : and 
David made Abner, and the men that 
were with Mm, a feast. 

21 And Abner said unto David, I 
will arise and go, and ^ will gather all 
Israel unto my lord the king, that they 
may make a league with thee, and 
that thou mayest * reign over all that 
thy heart desireth. And David sent 
Abner away ; and he went in peace. 

22 *![And behold, the servants of 
David and Joab came from pursuing 
a troop, and brought in a great spoil 
with them : but Abner was not with 
David in Hebron ; for he had sent 
him away, and he was gone in peace. 

23 When Joab and all the host that 
was with him were come, they told 
Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner 
came to the king, and he hath sent 
him away, and he is gone in peace. 

24 Then Joab came to the king, 
and said. What hast thou done ? be- 
hold, Abner came unto thee; why is 
it that thou hast sent him away, and 
he is quite gone? 

25 Thou knowest Abner the son of 
Ner, that he came to deceive thee, 
and to know "thy going out and thy 
coming in, and to know all that thou 
doest. 

26 And when Joab was come out 
from David, he sent messengers af- 
ter Abner, which brought him again

from the well of Sirah : but David 
knew it not. 

27 And when Abner was returned 
to Hebron, Joab ^took him aside in 
the gate to speak with him || quietly, 
and smote him there y under the fifth 
rib that he died, for the blood of 
^Asahel his brother. 

28 TIAnd afterward when David 
heard it, he said, I and my kingdom 
are guiltless before the Lokd for 
ever from the f blood of Abner the 
son of Ner: 

29 =^Let it rest on the head of Joab, 
and on ^,11 his father's house ; and let 
there not f fail from the house of 
Joab one *'that hath an issue, or that 
is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, 
or that falleth on the sword, or that 
lacketh bread. 

30 So Joab and Abishai his bro- 
ther slew Abner, because he had slain 
their brother ^Asahel at Gibeon in 
the battle. 

31 "TIAnd David said to Joab, and 
to all the people that were with him, 
fiRend your clothes, and ''gird you 
with sackcloth, and mourn before 
Abner. And king David himself fol- 
lowed the f bier. 

32 And they buried Abner in He- 
bron : and the king lifted up his 
voice and wept at the grave of Ab- 
ner ; and all the people wept. 

33 And the king lamented over Ab- 
ner, and said. Died Abner as a *" fool 
dieth ? 

34 Thy hands were not bound, nor 
thy feet put into fetters : as a man 
falleth before f wicked men, so fellest 
thou. And all the people wept again 
over him. 

35 And when all the people came 
eto cause David to eat meat while 
it was yet day, David sware, saying, 
^So do God to me, and more also, 
if I taste bread or aught else, "till 
the sun be down. 

36 And all the people took notice 
of it, and it f pleased them: as what- 
soever the king did pleased all the 
people. 

37 For all the people and all Israel 
understood that day that it was not 
of the king to slay Abner the son of 
Ner. _ • 

38 And the king said unto his ser- 
vants. Know ye not that there is a

prince and a great man fallen this 
day in Israel ? 

39 And I am this day f weak,

ward the doer of evil according to

ND when Saul's son heard that 
Abner was dead in Hebron, ^his 
hands were feeble, and all the Is- 
raelites were i' troubled, 

2 And Saul's son had two men thai 
were captains of bands: the name of

the f other Rechab, the sons of Rim- 
mon a Beerothite, of the ciiildrcn of 
Benjamin : (for <^Beeroth also was

3 And the Beerothites fled to'^Git- 
taim, and were sojourners there un- 
til this day.) 

4 And "^Jonathan, Saul's son, had 
a son that was lame of his feet : he 
was five years old when the tidings 
came of Saul and Jonathan •'out of 
Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, 
and fled : and it came to pass, as she 
made haste to flee, that he fell, and 
became lame. And his name was 

II Mephibosheth. 

5 And the sons of Rimmon the 
Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, 
went, and came about the heat of 
the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, 
who lay on a bed at noon. 

6 And they came thither into the 
midst of the house, as though they 
would have fetched wheat ; and they 
smote him Sunder the fifth rib: and 
Rechab and Baanah his brother es- 
caped. 

7 For when they came into the 
house, he lay on his bed in his bed- 
chamber, and they smote him, and 
slew him, and beheaded him, and 
took his head, and gat them away 
through the plain all night. 

8 And they brought the head of

spake unto David, saying, Except 
thou take away tiie blind and the 
lame, thou shalt not come in hither: 
II thinking, David cannot come in 
hither. 

7 Nevertheless, David took the 
strong hold of Zion: '"the same is 
the city of David. 

8 And David said on that day, 
Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, 
and smiteth the Jebusites, and the 
lame and the blind, that are hated of 
David's soul, "he shall be chief and 
captain. \\ Wherefore they said, The 
blind and the lame shall not come 
into the house. 

9 So David dwelt in the fort, and 
called it, ^The city of David. And 
David built round about from Millo 
and inward. 

10 And David f went on, and grew 
great, and the Loud God of hosts 
was with him. 

11 TIAnd P Hiram king of Tyre 
sent messengers to David, and cedar- 
trees, and carpenters, and f masons : 
and they built David a house. 

12 And David perceived that the 
Lord had estabhshed him king over 
Israel, and that he had exalted his 
kingdom for his people Israel's sake.

smote him there for Ids |j error ; and 
there he died by the ark of God. 
. 8 And David was displeased, be- 
cause the Lord had f made a breach 
upon Uzzah : and he called the name 
of the place || Perez-uzzah to tliis 
day. 

9 And ''David was afraid of the 
Lord that day, and said, IIow shall 
the ark of the Lord come to me ? 

10 8o David would not remove the 
ark of the Lord unto him into the 
city of David: but David carried it 
aside into the house of Obed-edom 
'the Gittite. 

11 i^And the ark of the Lord con- 
tinued in the house of Obed-edom 
the Gittite three months : and the 
Lord 'blessed Obed-edom and all 
his household. 

12 ^And it was told king David, 
saying. The Loud hath blessed the 
house of Obed-edom, and all that 
'perlainelh unto him, because of the 
ark of God. '"So David went and 
brought up the ark of God from the 
house of Obed-edom into the city of 
David with gladness. 

13 And it was so, that when "they 
that bare the ark of the Lord had 
gone six paces, he sacrificed "oxen 
and fatlings. 

14 And David Pdanced before the 
Lord with all his might ; and David 
was girded <!with a linen ephod. 

15 ■'So David and all the house of 
Lsrael brought up the ark of the Lord 
w ith shouting, and with the sound of 
the trumpet. 

IG And ^as the ark of the Lord 
came into the city of David, Michal, 
Saul's daughter, looked through a 
window, and saw king David leaping 
and dancing before the Lord; am 
she despised him in her heart.

18 And as soon as David had made 
an end of offering burnt-offerings and 
peace-offerings, yhe blessed the peo- 
ple in the name of the Lord of hosts. 

19 ^And he dealt among all the 
people, eve}i among the whole multi-

and a good piece of flesh, and a fla- 
gon q/ ivine. So all the people de- 
parted every one to his house. 

20 TI=^Then David returned to bless 
his household. And Michal the 
daughter of Saul came out to meet 
David, and said. How glorious was 
the king of Israel to-day, who ''un- 
covered himself to-day in the eyes

build me a house for me to dwell 
in? . 

6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any 
house s since the time that I brought 
up the children of Israel out of Egypt,

build ye not me a house of cedar? 

8 Now therefore, so shalt thou say 
unto my servant David, Thus saith 
the Lord of hosts, ' I took thee from 
the sheep-cote, \ from following the 
sheep, to be ruler over my people, 
over Israel : 

9 And ""I was with thee whither- 
soever thou wentest, "and have cut 
off all thine enemies f out of thy 
sight, and have made thee °a great 
name, like unto the name of the 
great men that are in the earth. 

10 Moreover, I will appoint a place 
for my people Israel, and will P plant 
them, that they may dwell in a place 
of their own, and move no more; 
1 neither shall the children of wick- 
edness afflict them any more as be- 
foretime.

the Lord telleth thee * that he will

17 According to all these words, 
nd according to all this vision, so 

did Nathan speak unto David. 

18 11 Then went king David in, and 
sat before the Lord, and he said, 
'"Who am I, O Lord God? and what 
is my house, that thou hast brought 
me hitherto? 

19 And this was yet a small thing 
in thy sight, O Lord God ; g but 
thou hast spoken also of thy servant's 
house for a great while to come. 
''And is this the f manner of man, 
O Lord God ? 

20 And what can David say more 
unto thee ? for thou. Lord God, 
'knowest thy servant. 

21 For thy word's sake, and ac- 
cording to thine own heart, hast 
thou done all these great things, to 
make thy servant know them. 

22 Wherefore ^thou art great, O 
Lord God : for ^ there is none like 
thee, neither is there any God besides 
thee, according to all that we have 
heard with our ears. 

23 And ""what one nation in the 
earth is like thy people, even like Is- 
rael, whom God went to redeem for 
a people to himself, and to make him 
a name, and to do for you great things 
and terrible, for thy land, before "thy 
people which thou redeemedst to 
thee from Egypt, from the nations 
and their gods ? 

24 For othou hast confirmed to thy- 
self thy people Israel to be a people 
unto thee for ever: Pand thou, 
Lord, art become their God. 

25 And now, O Lord God, the 
word that thou hast spoken concern- 
ing thy servant, and concerning his 
house, establish it for ever, and do 
as thou hast said. 

26 And let thy name be magnified 
for ever, saying. The Lord of hosts 
is the God over Israel : and let the 
house of thy servant David be esta- 
blished before thee. 

27 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God 
of Israel, hast f revealed to thy ser- 
vant, saying, I will build thee a house : 
therefore hath thy servant found in 
his heart to pray this prayer unto 
thee.

fruits that thy master's son may have 
food to eat : but Mephibosheth thy 
master's son ' shall eat bread alway 
at my table. Now Ziba had ^fifteen 
sons and twenty servants.

According to all that my lord the king 
hath commanded his servant, so shall 
thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, 
said the king, he shall eat at my ta- 
ble, as one of the king's sons.

SAMUEL. His ambassadors abused by Hanun. 

are overcome hy Joah and Ahishai. 15 Shobach, 
making a new supply of the Syrians at Helam, 
is slain by David. 

ND it came to pass after this, 
that the =^king of the children 
of Ammon died, and Hanun his son 
reigned in his stead. 

2 Then said David, I will shew kind- 
ness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, 
as his father shewed kindness unto 
me. And David sent to comfort him 
by the hand of his servants for his fa- 
ther. And David's servants came into 
the land of the children of Ammon. 

3 And the princes of the children of 
Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, 
f Thinkest thou that David doth ho- 
nour thy father, that he hath sent 
comforters unto thee? hath not Da- 
vid rather sent his servants unto 
thee, to search the city, and to spy 
it out, and to overthrow it? 

4 Wherefore Hanun took David's 
servants, and shaved off the one half 
of their beards, and cut off their gar- 
ments in the middle, ^ even to their 
buttocks, and sent them away. 

5 When they told it unto David, he 
sent to meet them, because the men 
were greatly ashamed. And the king 
said. Tarry at Jericho until your 
beards be grown, and then return. 

6 *![ And when the children of Am- 
mon saw that they <= stank before Da- 
vid, the children of Ammon sent and 
hired '^the Syrians of Beth-rehob, 
and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty 
thousand footmen, and of kingMaa- 
cah a thousand men, and of l|Ish-tob 
twelve thousand men. 

7 And when David heard of it, he 
sent Joab, and all the host of <= the 
mighty men. 

8 And the children of Ammon came 
out, and put the battle in array at 
the entering in of the gate : and *'the 
Sj'rians of Zobah and of Rehob, and 
Ish-tob, and Maacah were by them- 
selves in the field. 

9 When Joab saw that the fi-ont of 
the battle was against him before 
and behind, he chose of all the 
choice 7nen of Israel, and put them 
in array against the Syrians : 

10 And the rest of the people he de- 
livered into the hand of Abishai his 
brother, that he might put the?n in 
array against the children of Ammon.

12 sBeof good courage, and let us

13 And Joab drew nigh, and the 
people that were with him, unto the 
battle against the Syrians : and they 
fled before him. 

14 And when the children of Am- 
mon saw that the Syrians were fled, 
then fled they also before Abishai, 
and entered into the city. So Joab 
returned from the children of Am- 
mon, and came to Jerusalem. 

15 H And when the Syrians saw that 
they were smitten before Israel, they 
gathered themselves together. 

1 G And Hadarezer sent, and brought 
out the Syrians that tvere beyond 
II the river : and they came to Helam : 
and II Shobach the captain of the 
host of Hadarezer went before them. 

17 And when it was told David, he 
gathered all Israel together, and pass- 
ed over Jordan, and came to Helam. 
And the Syrians set themselves in ar- 
ray against David, and fought with 
him. 

18 And the Syrians fled before Is- 
rael ; and David slew the men of se- 
ven hundred chariots of the Syrians, 
and forty thousand '^ horsemen, and 
smote Shobach the captain of their 
liost, who died there. 

19 And when all the kings that 
were servants to Hadarezer saw tiiat 
they were smitten before Israel, they 
made peace with Israel, and ' served 
them. So the Syrians feared to help 
the children of Amnion anymore.

David's adultery with Uriah's wife. 

2 ^And it came to pass in an even- 
ing-tide, that David arose from off'his 
bed, ''and walked upon the roof of 
the king's house : and from the roof 
he ^saw a woman Avashing herself; 
and the woman was very beautiful 
to look upon. 

3 And David sent and inquired 
after the woman. And one said. Is 
not this II Bath-sheba the daughter of 
IIEliam, the Avife '^ of Uriah the Hit- 
tite? 

4 And David sent messengers and 
took her : and she came in unto him, 
and <^he lay Avith her; (||for she was 
'purified from her uncleanness :) and 
she returned unto her house. 

5 And the woman conceived, and 
sent and told David, and said, I am 
with child. 

6 H And David sent to Joab, say- 
iyig, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And 
Joab sent U^riah to David. 

7 And when Uriah Avas come unto 
him, David demanded of him f hoAV 
Joab did, and how the people did, 
and hoAv the Avar prospered. 

8 And David said to Uriah, Go 
doAvn to thy house, and SAvash thy 
feet. And Uriah departed out of the 
king's house, and there f folloAved 
him a mess of meat from the king. 

9 But Uriah slept at the door of 
the king's house with all the servants 
of his lord, and went not doAvn to 
his house. 

10 And Avhen they had told David, 
saying, Uriah Avent not down unto 
his house, David said unto Uriah, 
Camest thou not from tliy journey ? 
why then didst thou not go doAvn 
unto thy house l 

11 And Uriah said unto David, 
'>The ark, and Israel, and Judah, 
abide in tents ; and 'my lord Joab, 
and the servants of my lord are en- 
camped in the open fields; shall I 
then go into my house, to eat and to 
drink, and to lie Avith my wife 1 As 
thou liA^est, and as thy soul liveth, I 
will not do this thing. 

12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry 
here to-day also, and to-morrow I 
will let thee depart. So Uriah abode 
in Jerusalem that day and the mor- 
row. 

13 And when David had called him, 
he did eat and drink before him ; and 

347 



Uriah is slain in battle. 

he made him "^ drunk : and at even he 
went out to he on his bed i with the 
servants of his lord, but went not 
down to his house. 

14 TIAnd it came to pass in the 
morning, that David '"wrote a letter 
to Joab, and sent it by the hand of 
Uriah. 

15 And he wrote in the letter, say 
ing. Set ye Uriah in the foi-efront of 
the f hottest battle, and retire ye 
j- from him, that he may "be smitten, 
and die. 

16 And it came to pass, when Joab 
observed the city, that he assigned 
Uriah unto a place where he knev/ 
that valiant men were. 

17 And the men of the city went 
out, and fought with Joab : and there 
fell some of the people of the ser- 
vants of David ; and Uriah the Hit- 
tite died also, 

1 8 TI Then Joab sent and told David 
all the things concerning the war ; 

19 And charged the messenger, 
saying. When thou hast made an end 
of telling the matters of the war un- 
to the king, 

20 And if so be that the king's wrath 
arise, and he say unto thee. Where- 
fore approached ye so nigh unto the 
city when ye did fight t knew ye 
not that they would shoot from the 
wall '{ 

21 Who smote °Abimelech the son 
of P Jerub-besheth 1 did not a woman 
cast a piece of a mill-stone upon him 
from the wall that he died in The- 
bez ? why went ye nigh the wall ? 
Then say thou. Thy sei'vant Uriah 
the Kittite is dead also. 

22 m So the messenger went, and 
came and shewed David all that 
Joab had sent him for. 

23 And the messenger said unto 
David, Surely the men prevailed 
against us, and came out unto us into 
the field, and we were upon them 
even unto the entering of the gate. 

24 And the shooters shot from off" 
the wall upon thy servants: and some 
of the king's servants be dead, and 
thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead 
also. 

2.5 Then David said unto the mes- 
senger. Thus shalt thou say unto 
Joab, Let not this thing f displease 
thee, for the sword devoureth "I" one

as well as another : make thy battle 
more strong against the city, and over- 
throw it : and encourage thou him. 

26 U And when the wife of Uriah 
heard that Uriah her husband was 
dead, she mourned for her husband. 

27 And when the mourning was 
past, David sent and fetched her to 
his house, and she i became his wife, 
and bare him a son. But the thing 
that David had done f displeased the 
Lord. 

CHAP. XIL 

1 Nathan's parable of the eice-lamh causeth Da- 
vid to be Ids oicn judge. 7 David, reproved by 
Nathan, confesselh bin siti, and is pardoned. 15 
David mourneih and prayeth for the child, 
while it lived. 24 Solomon is born, and named 
Jedidiah. 2G David ta/ceih Rabbah, and tor- 
iitreih the people Ihereof. 

ND the Lord sent Nathan unto 
David. And f^he came unto 
him, and ''said unto him. There were 
two men in one city ; the one rich, 
and the other poor. 

2 The rich man had exceeding 
many flocks and herds : 

3 But the poor man had nothing 
save one little ewe-lamb, which he 
had bought and nourished up : and 
it grew up together with him, and 
with his children ; it did eat of his 
own f meat, and drank of his own 
cup, and lay in his bosom, and was 
unto him as a daughter. 

4 And there came a traveller unto 
the rich man, and he spared to take 
of his own flock and of his own herd, 
to dress for the way-faring man that 
was come unto him ; but took the 
poor man's lamb, and dressed it for 
the man that was come to him. 

5 And David's anger was greatly 
kindled against the man ; and he said 
to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, the 
man that hath done this thing || shall 
surely die. 

6 And he shall restore the lamb 
*= four- fold, because he did this thing, 
and because he had no pity. 

7 1 And Nathan said to David, Thou 
art the man. Thus saith the Lord 
God of Israel, I <> anointed thee king 
over Israel, and I delivered thee out 
of the hand of Saul ; 

8 And I gave thee thy master's 
house, and thy master's wives into 
thy bosom, and gave thee the house 
of Israel and of Judah ; and if that 
had been too little, I would moreover 

348 



David confesselh his sin. 

have given unto thee such and sucli 
things. 

9 e Wherefore hast thou ^despised 
the commandment of the Lord, to 
do evil in his sigiit ? &thou hast kill- 
ed Uriah the Hittite Avith the sword, 
and Imst taken his wife to be thy wife, 
and hast slain him with the sword 
of the children of Ammon. 

10 Now therefore ^the sword shall 
never depart from thy house ; be- 
cause thou hast despised me, and 
hast taken the wife of Uriah the 
Hittite to be thy wife. 

1 1 Thus saith the Lord, Behold I 
will raise up evil against thee out of 
thine own house, and I will 'take thy 
wives before thine eyes, and give 
them unto thy neighbour, and he 
shall lie with thy wives in the sight 
of this sun. 

12 For thou didst // secretly: '^but 
I will do this thing before all Israel, 
and before the sun. 

13 'And David said unto Nathan, 
'"1 have sinned against the Lord. 
And Nathan said unto David, The 
Lord also hath "put away thy sin; 
thou shall not die. 

14 Ilowbeit, because by this deed 
thou hast given great occasion to the 
enemies of the Lord I'to blaspheme, 
the child also that is born unto thee 
shall surely die. 

15 H And Nathan departed unto his 
house. And the Lord struck the 
child that Uriah's wife bare unto 
David, and it was very sick. 

IG David therefore besought God 
for the child ; and David f fasted, 
and went in, and slay all night upon 
the earth. 

17 And the elders of his house 
arose, and went to him, to raise him 
up from the earth: but he would not, 
neither did he eat bread with them. 

18 And it came to pass on the se- 
venth day, that the child died. And 
the servants of David feared to tell 
him that the child was dead : for they 
said, Behold, while the child was yet 
alive, we spake unto him, and he 
would not hearken unto our voice : 
how will he then f vex himself, if we 
tell him that the child is dead ? 

19 But when David saw that his ser- 
vants whispered, David perceived 
that the child was dead: therefore

Solomon is bom. 
David said unto his servants, Is the 
child dead? And they said, He is 
dead. 

20 Then David arose from the earth, 
and washed, and 'anointed himself, 
and changed his apparel, and canie 
into the house of the Lord, and ^ wor- 
shipped : then he came to his own 
house ; and when he required, they 
set bread before him, and he did eat. 

21 Then said his servants unto him. 
What thing is this that thou hast 
done? thou didst fast and weep for 
the child, icliile it was alive ; but 
when the child was dead, thou didst 
rise and eat bread. 

22 And he said. While the child was 
yet alive, I fasted, and wept: tfor I 
said. Who can tell ivhether God will 
be gracious to me, that the child may 
live ? 

23 But now^ he is dead, wherefore 
should I fast? can I bring him back 
again? I shall go to him, but "he 
shall not return to me. 

24 1 And David comforted Bath- 
sheba his wife, and w^ent in unto her, 
and lay with her: and ^she bare a 
son, and yhe called his name Solo- 
mon : and the Lord loved him. 

25 And he sent by the hand of Na-

name II Jedidiah, because of the Lord. 

26 II And 'Joab fought against ^^ Kab-

took the royal city.

ND it came to pass after this, 
=Hhat Absalom the son of David 
had a fair sister, whose name was 
•^ Tamar; and Amnon the son of 
David loved her. 

2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he 
fell sick for his sister Tamar ; for she 
was a virgin ; and f Amnon thought 
it hard for him to do any thing to her. 

3 But Amnon had a friend, whose 
name was Jonadab, ^the son of Shi- 
meah David's brother: and Jonadab 
was a very subtle man. 

4 And he said unto him. Why art 
thou, heing the king's son, f lean 
f from day to day ? wilt thou not tell 
me ? And Amnon said unto him, I 
love Tamar, my brother Absalom's 
sister. 

5 And Jonadab said unto him, Lay 
thee down on thy bed, and make thy- 
self sick : and when thy father cometh 
to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, 
let my sister Tamar come, and give 
me meat, and dress the meat in my 
sight, that I may see it, and eat it at 
her hand. 

6 *[[ So Amnon lay down, and made 
himself sick : and when the king was 
come to see him, Amnon said unto 
the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my 
sister come, and ''make me a couple 
of cakes in my sight, that I may eat 
at her hand. 

7 Then David sent home to Tamar, 
saying, Go now to thy brother Am- 
non's house, and dress him meat. 

8 So Tamar went to her brother 
Amnon's house; and he was lain 
down. And she took || flour, and 
kneaded z7, and made cakes in his 
sight, and did bake the cakes. 

9 And she took a pan, and poured 
them out before him ; but he refused 
to eat. And Amnon said, eHave out 
all men from me. And they went out 
every man from him.

and afterwards hateth her. 

10 And Amnon said unto Tamar, 
Bring the meat into the chamber, that 
I may eat of tliy hand. And Tamar 
took the cakes which she had made, 
and brought them into the chamber 
to Amnon her brother. 

1 1 And when she had brought them 
unto him to eat, he ^ took hold of her, 
and said unto her, Come lie with me, 
my sister. 

12 And she answered him. Nay, 
my brother, do not f force me ; for 
s •)- no such thing ought to be done in 
Israel: do not thou this ^ folly. 

13 And I, whither shall I cause my 
shame to go? and as for thee, thou 
shalt be as one of the fools in Israel, 
Now therefore, I pray thee, speak 
unto the king ; i for he will not with- 
hold me from thee. 

14 Howbeit, he would not hearken 
unto her voice : but being stronger 
than she, '^forced her, and lay with 
her. 

15 11 Then Amnon hated her f ex- 
ceedingly ; so that the hatred where- 
with he hated her was greater than 
the love wherewith he had loved her. 
And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be 
gone. 

16 And she said unto him. There 
IS no cause : this evil in sending me 
away is greater than the other that 
thou didst unto me. But he would 
not hearken unto her. 

17 Then he called his servant that 
ministered unto him, and said. Put 
now this woman out from me, and 
bolt the door after her. 

18 And she had 'a garment of di- 
vers colours upon her: for with such 
robes were the king's daughters that 
were virgins apparelled. Then his 
servant brought her out. and bolted 
the door after her. 

19 If And Tamar put "^ ashes on hei 
head, and rent her garment of divers 
colours that was on her, and "laid her 
hand on her he ad, and went on crying. 

20 And Absalom her brother said 
unto her. Hath f Amnon thy brother 
been v»'ith thee? but hold now thy 
peace, my sister: he is thy brother ; 
f regard not this thing. So Tamar 
remained f desolate in her brother 
Absalom's house. 

21 ^But when king David heard of 
all these things, he was very wroth.

Amnon slain hy Absalom s command. CHAP. XIV. 

22 And Absalom spake unto his 
brother Amnon « neither good nor 
bad: for Absalom P hated Amnon, 
because he had forced his sister Ta- 
mar. 

23 T[ And it came to pass after two 
full years, that Absalom ihad sheep- 
shearers in Baal-hazor, which is be- 
side Ephraim : and Absalom invited 
all the king's sons. 

24 And Absalom came to the king, 
and said. Behold now, thy servant 
hath sheep-shearers : let the king, I 
beseech thee, and his servants go 
with thy servant. 

25 And the king said to Absalom, 
Nay, my son, let us not all now go, 
lest we be chargeable unto thee. 
And he pressed him : howbeit he 
would not go, but blessed him. 

2(5 Then said Absalom, If not, I 
pray thee, let my brother Amnon go 
with us. And the king said unto 
him. Why should he go with thee ? 

27 But Absalom pressed him, that 
he let Amnon and all the king's sons 
go with him. 

28 II Now Absalom had command- 
ed his sei-vants, saying, IMark ye now 
when Amnon's f heart is merry with 
wine, and when I say unto you, 
Smite Amnon ; then kill him, fear 
not : II have not I commanded you ? 
be courageous, and be f valiant. 

29 And the servants of Absalom 
did unto Amnon as Absalom had 
commanded. Then all the king's 
sons arose, and every man f gat him 
up upon his mule, and fled. 

30 II And it cam.e to pass, while 
they were in the way, that tidings 
came to David, saying, Absalom hath 
slain all the king's sons, and there is 
not one of them left. 

31 Then the king arose, and ^tare 
his garments and May on the earth ; 
and all his servants stood by with 
their clothes rent. 

32 And "Jonadab, the son of Shi- 
meah, David's brother, answered and 
said, Let not my lord suppose that 
they have slain all the young men the 
king's sons: for Amnon only Is dead : 
for by the f appointment of Absalom 
this hath been || determined from the 
day that he forced his sister Tamar. 

33 Now therefore -^let not my lord 
the king take the thing to his heart,

to think that all the king's sons are 
dead: for Amnon only is dead. 

31 yBut Absalom fled. And the 
young man that kept the watch lift- 
ed up his eyes, and looked, and be- 
hold, there came much people by the 
way of the hill-side behind him. 

35 And Jonadab said unto the king, 
Behold, the king's sons come : f as 
thy servant said, so it is. 

3G And it came to pass, as soon as 
he had made an end of speaking, 
that behold, the king's sons came, 
and lifted up their voice and wept : 
and the king also and all his servants 
wept t very sore. 

37 "11 But Absalom fled, and went 
to ^Talmai, the son of || Ammihud, 
king of Geshur. And David mourn- 
ed tor his son every day. 

38 So Absalom fled, and went to 
^Geshur, and was there three years. 

39 And the soul of king David 
II longed to go forth unto Absalom : 
for he was ti comforted concerning 
Amnon, seeing he was dead.

Absalom by Joab is brought into the Idng' s pre- 
sence. 

NOW Joab the son of Zeruiah 
perceived that the king's heart 
was ^toward Absalom. 

2 And Joab sent to ''Tekoah, and 
fetched thence a wise w oman, and 
said unto her, I pray thee, feign thy- 
self to be a mourner, '^and put on 
now' mourning apparel, and anoint 
not thyself with oil, but be as a wo- 
man that had a long time mourned 
for the dead : 

3 And come to the king, and speak 
on this manner unto him. So Joab 
•■ put the words in her mouth. 

4 ^And when the woman of Te- 
koah spake to the king, she <^fell on 
her face to the ground, and did obei- 
sance, and said, -fllelp, O king. 

5 And the king said unto her, What 
aileththee ? And she answered, slam 
indeed a widow woman, and my 
husband is dead. 

6 And thy handmaid had two sons, 
and they two strove together in the 
field, and there was f none to part 
them, but the one smote the other, 
and slew him. 

351 



JoaVs artifice to II 

7 And behold, ^the whole family 
is risen against thy handmaid, and 
they said. Deliver him that smote his 
brother, that we may kill him, for 
the life of his brother whom he slew ; 
and we will destroy the heir also : 
and so they shall quench my coal 
which is left, and shall not leav.e to 
my husband neither name nor re- 
mainder f upon the earth. 

8 And the king said unto the wo- 
man, Go to thy house, and I will 
give charge concerning thee. 

9 And the woman of Tekoah said 
unto the king. My lord, O king, 
'the iniquity he on me, and on my 
father's house : i^and the king and 
his throne he guiltless. 

10 And the king said. Whosoever 
saith aught unto thee, bring him to 
me, and he shall not touch thee any 
more. 

1 1 Then said she, I pray thee, let 
the king remember the Lord thy 
God, f that thou wouldest not suffer 
1 the revengers of blood to destroy 
any more, lest they destroy my son. 
And he said, ^As the Lord liveth, 
there shall not one hair of thy son 
fall to the earth. 

12 Then the woman said. Let thy 
handmaid, I pray thee, speak one 
word unto my lord the king. And 
he said. Say on. 

13 And the woman said. Wherefore 
then hast thou thought such a thing 
against 'i the people of God? for the 
king doth speak this thing as one 
which is faulty, in that the king doth 
not fetch home again ^his banished. 

14 For we P must needs die, and are 
as water spilt on the ground, which 
cannot be gathered up again ; || nei- 
ther doth God respect any person : 
yet doth he qdevise means, that his 
banished be not expelled from him. 

15 Now therefore that I am come to 
speak of this thing unto my lord the 
king, it is because the people have 
made me afraid : and thy handmaid 
said, I will now speak unto the king; 
it may be that the king will perform 
the request of his handmaid. 

16 For the king will hear, to deli- 
ver his handmaid out of the hand of 
the man that ivould destroy me and 
my son together out of the inherit- 
ance of God.

17 Then thy handmaid said, The 
word of my lord the king shall now 
be f comfortable : for 'as an angel of 
God, so is my lord the king f to dis- 
cern good and bad : therefore the 
Lord thy God will be with thee. 

18 Then the king answered and 
said unto the woman. Hide not from 
me, I pray thee, the thing that I 
shall ask thee. And the woman said, 
Let my lord the king now speak. 

19 And the king said, Is not the 
hand of Joab with thee in all this ? 
And the woman answered and said, 
As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, 
none can turn to the right hand or 
to the left from aught that my lord 
the king hath spoken : for thy ser- 
vant Joab, he bade me, and ^he put 
all these words in the mouth of thy 
handmaid : 

20 To fetch about this form of 
speech hath thy servant Joab done 
this thing : and my lord is wise, ' ac- 
cording to the wisdom of an angel of 
God, to know all things that are in 
the earth. 

21 "[[And the king said unto Joab, 
Behold now, I have done this thing: 
go therefore, bring the young man 
Absalom again. 

22 And Joab fell to the ground on 
his face, and bowed himself, and 
f thanked the king: and Joab said, 
To-day thy servant knoweth that I 
have found grace in thy sight, my 
lord, O king, in that the king hath 
fulfilled the request of || his servant. 

23 So Joab arose "and Avent to 
Geshur, and brought Absalom to 
Jerusalem. 

24 And the king said. Let him turn 
to his own house, and let him ^ not 
see my face. So Absalom returned 
to his own house, and saw not the 
king's face. 

25 ^ t But in all Israel there was 
none to be so much praised as Absa- 
lom for his beauty: yfrom the sole 
of his foot even to the crown of his 
head there was no blemish in him. 

26 And when he polled his head, 
(for it was at every year's end that 
he polled it; because the hair was 
heavy on him, therefore he polled it;) 
he weighed the hair of his head at 
two hundred shekels after the king's 



I 



weight. 



352 



He is brought into the king's presence. 

27 And ^unto Absalom there were 
bom three sons, and one daughter, 
whose name was Tamar : she was a 
woman of a fair countenance. 

28 1 So Absalom dwelt two full 
years in Jerusalem, ^and saw not 
the king's face. 

29 Therefore Absalom sent for 
Joab, to have him sent to the king ; 
but he would not come to him : and 
when he sent again the second time, 
he would not come. 

30 Therefore he said unto his ser- 
vants. See, Joab's field is f^ear 
mine, and he hath barley there ; go 
and set it on fire. And Absalom's 
servants set the field on fire. 

31 Then Joab arose, and came to 
Absalom unto his house, and said 
unto him. Wherefore have thy ser- 
vants set my field on fire ? 

32 And Absalom answered Joab, 
Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, 
Come hither, that I may send thee 
to the king, to say, Wherefore am I 
come from Geshur? it had been good 
for me to have been there still : now 
therefore let me see the king's face ; 
and if there be any iniquity in me, 
let him kill me. 

33 So Joab came to the king, and 
told him: and when he had called 
for Absalom, he came to the king, 
and bowed himself on his face to 
the ground before the king : and the 
king ''kissed Absalom.

Absalom's dangerous conspiracy. 

\\ there is no man deputed of the king 
to hear thee. 

4 Absalom said moreover, <= Oh that 
I were made judge in the land, that 
everj^ man which hath any suit or 
cause might come unto me, and I 
would do him justice ! 

5 And it was so, that when any 
man came nigh to him to do him 
obeisance, he put forth his hand, and 
took him, and kissed him. 

6 And on this manner did Absalom 
to all Israel that came to the king 
for judgment: ^?,o Absalom stole the 
hearts of the men of Israel. 

7 TI And it came to pass « after for- 
ty years, that Absalom said unto the 
king, I pray thee, let me go and pay 
my vow, which I have vowed unto 
the Lord, in Hebron. 

8 'For thy servant Avowed a vow 
■'while I abode at Geshur in Syria, 
saying. If the Lord shall bring me 
again indeed to Jerusalem, then I 
will serve the Lord. 

9 And the king said unto him. Go 
in peace. So he arose, and went to 
Hebron. 

1 Tl But Absalom sent spies through- 
out all the tribes of Israel, saying, As 
soon as ye hear the sound of the 
trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom 
reigneth in Hebron. 

11 And with Absalom went two 
hundred men out of Jerusalem, that 
were 'called; and they went ''in their 
simplicity, and they knew not any 
thing. 

12 And Absalom sent for Ahitho- 
phel the Gilonite, 'David's counsel- 
lor, from his city, even from "'Giloh, 
while he offered sacrifices. And the 
conspiracy was strong ; for the peo- 
ple "increased continually with Ab- 
salom. 

13 TIAnd there came a messenger 
to David, saying, ° The hearts of the 
men of Israel are after Absalom. 

14 And David said unto all his ser- 
vants that were with him at Jerusa- 
lem, Arise, and let us pflee ; for we 
shall not else escape from Absalom : 
make speed to depart, lest he over- 
take us suddenly, and f bring evil 
upon us, and smite the city with the 
edge of the sword. 

15 And the king's servants said un- 
to the king, Behold, thy servants are 

353 



David Jleeth from Jerusalem. 

ready to do whatsoever my lord the 
king shall f appoint. 

16 And ithe king went forth, and 
all his household f after him. And 
the king left ■■ ten women which were 
concubines to keep the house. 

17 And the king went forth, and 
all the people after him, and tarried 
in a place that was far off. 

18 And all his servants passed on 
beside him : ^ and all the Cherethites, 
and all the Pelethites, and all the 
Gittites, six hundred men which 
came after him from Gath, passed 
on before the king. 

19 11 Then said the king to tJttai 
the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou 
also with us? return to thy place, 
and abide with the king; for thou 
art a stranger, and also an exile. 

20 Whereas thou earnest hut yes- 
terday, should I this day f make 
thee go up and down with us ? see- 
ing I go "whither I may; return 
thou, and take back thy brethren : 
mercy and truth he with thee. 

21 And Ittai answered the king, 
and said, ^ As the Lord liveth, and 
as my lord the king liveth, surely in 
what place my lord the king shall be, 
whether in death or life, even there 
also will thy servant be. 

22 And David said to Ittai, Go and 
pass over. And Ittai the Gittite pass- 
ed over, and all his men, and all the 
little ones that were with him. 

23 And all the country wept with a 
loud voice, and all the people passed 
over : the king also himself passed 
over the brook || Kidron, and all the 
people passed over, toward the way 
of the y wilderness. 

24 "H And lo, Zadok also, and all the 
Levites were with him, ^ bearing the 
ark of the covenant of God : and they 
set down the ark of God ; and Abia- 
thar went up, until all the people had 
done passing out of the city. 

25 And the king said unto Zadok, 
Carry back the ark of God into the 
city: if I shall find favour in the 
eyes of the Lord, he ^will bring 
me again, and shew me hoth it, and 
his habitation : 

26 But if he thus say, I have no 
^delight in thee ; behold, here am I, 
•=let him do to me as seemeth good 
unto him.

27 The king said also unto Zadok 
the priest, Art not thou a "^ seer ? re- 
turn into the city in peace, and ^youx 
two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, 
and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. 

28 See, ^ I will tarry in the plain of

29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar 
carried the ark of God again to Je-

David was come to the top of the 
mount, where he worshipped God, 
behold, Hushai the " Archite came to 
meet him "with his coat rent, and

34 But if thou return to the city, 
and say unto Absalom, <)I will be thy 
servant, O king; as I have heen thy 
father's servant hitherto, so will I 
now also he thy servant: then may- 
est thou for me defeat the counsel 
of Ahithophel. 

35 And hast thou not there with 
thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? 
therefore it shall be, that what thing 
soever thou shalt hear out of the 
king's house, ''thou shalt tell it to 
Zadok and Abiathar the priests. 

36 Behold, they have there ^with 
them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Za- 
dok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's 
son; and by them ye shall send un- 
to me every thing that ye can hear. 

37 So Hushai, * David's friend, 
came into the city, "and Absalom 
came into Jerusalem.

Shimei curselh David. CHAP. XVI. 

A ND =i\vhen David was a little 
_/5L past the top of the hill, behold, 
^'Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth 
met him, with a couple of asses sad- 
dled, and upon them two hundred 
loaves of bread, and a hundred 
bunches of raisins, and a hundred 
of summer fruits, and a bottle of 
wine. 

2 And the king said unto Ziba, What 
meanest thou by these ? And Ziba 
said. The asses be for the king's 
household to ride on ; and the bread 
and summer fruit for the young men 
to eat; and the wine, '^that such as 
be faint in the wilderness may drink. 

3 And the king said. And where is 
thy master's son? <iAnd Ziba said 
unto the king, Behold, he abideth at 
Jerusalem : for he said, To-day shall 
the house of Israel restore me the 
kingdom of my father. 

4 <-' Then said the king to Ziba, Be- 
hold, thine are all that pertained 
unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, 
■f I humbly beseech thee that I may 
find grace in thy sight, my lord, O 
king. 

.5 H And when king David came to 
Bahurim, behold, thence came out a 
man of the family of the house of 
Saul, whose name was ^ Shimei, the 
son of Gera : || he came forth, and 
cursed still as he came. 

6 And he cast stones at David, and 
at all the servants of king David : 
and all the people and all the mighty 
men were on his right hand and on 
his left. 

7 And thus said Shimei when he 
cursed. Come out, come out, thou 
•j- bloody man, and thou sman of Be- 
lial : 

8 The Loud hath ''returned upon 
thee all 'the blood of the house of 
Saul, in whose stead thou hast reign- 
ed ; and the Lord hath delivered the 
kingdom into the hand of Absalom 
thy son : and f behold, thou art taken 
in thy mischief, because thou art a 
bloody man. 

9 11 Then said Abishai the son of 
Zeruiah unto the king. Why should 
this i^dead dog 'curse my lord the 
king ? let me go over, I pray thee, 
and take oft' his head. 

10 And the king isaid, "^What have 
I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah ? ' "" "' ""' \^}^- 12. n

Ahithophel's counsel. 

so let him curse, because " the Lord 
hath said unto him. Curse David. 
"Who shall then say, Wherefore hast 
thou done so ' 

1 1 And David said to Abishai, and 
to all his servants, Behold, h my son, 
which q came forth of my bowels, 
seeketh my life : how much more 
now may Z/h's Benjamite do it? let 
him alone, and let him curse ; for 
the Lord hath bidden him. 

12 It may be that the Lord will 
look on mine || f affliction, and that 
the Lord will ■■ requite me good for 
his cursing this day. 

13 And as David and his men went 
by the way, Shimei went along on 
the hill's side over against him, and 
cursed as he went, and tlirew stones 
at him, and feast dust. 

14 And the king, and all the people 
that jvere with him, came weary, and 
refreshed themselves there. 

1 5 II And s Absalom, and all the peo- 
ple the men of Israel, came to Jeru- 
salem, and Ahithophel with him. 

16 And it came to pass, when Hu- 
shai the Archite, 'David's friend, was 
come unto Absalom, that Hushai 
said unto Absalom, f God save the 
king, God save the king. 

17 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is 
this thy kindness to thy friend ? "why 
wentest thou not with thy friend? 

18 And Hushai said unto Absalom, 
Nay ; but whom the Lord, and this 
people, and all the men of Israel 
choose, his will I be, and with him 
will I abide. 

19 And again, ^whom should I 
serve ? should I not serve in the pre- 
sence of his son ? as I have served 
in thy father's presence, so will I be 
in thy presence. 

20 Tl Then said Absalom to Ahitho- 
phel, Give counsel among you what 
we shall do. 

21 And Ahithophel said unto Absa- 
lom, Go in unto thy father's y concu- 
bines, which he hath left to keep 
the house ; and all Israel shall hear 
that thou ^art abhorred of thy fa- 
ther: then shall ''the hands of all 
that are with thee be strong. 

22 So they spread Absalom a tent 
upon the top of the house ; and Ab- 
salom went in unto his father's con- 
cubines ^ in the sight of all Israel. 

355 



AhithopheVs counsel defeated. 

23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, 
which he counselled in those days, 
was as if a man had inquired at the 
+ oracle of God: so was all the coun- 
sel of Ahithophel ^both with David 
and with Absalom. 

CHAP. XVII. 

1 AJiithopheV s counsel is overthrown by Hushai's., 
according to GocVs appointment, 15 Secret in- 
telligence is sent vnto David. 23 Ahithophel 
hangeth himself. 25 Amasa is made captain. 
27 David at Mahanaini is furnished with pro- 
vision. 

[OREOVER, Ahithophel said 
unto Absalom, Let me now 
choose out twelve thousand men, 
and I will arise and pursue after 
David this night: 

2 And I will come upon him while 
he IS ^^weary and weak-handed, and 
will make him afraid : and all the 
people that are with him shall flee ; 
and I will ^ smite the king only : 

3 And I will bring back all the peo- 
ple unto thee : the man whom thou 
seekest is as if all returned : so all 
the people shall be in peace. 

4 And the saying f pleased Absa- 
lom well, and all the elders of Israel. 

5 Then said Absalom, Call now 
Hushai the Archite also, and let us 
hear likewise f what he saith. 

6 And when Hushai was come to 
Absalom, Absalom spake unto liim, 
saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after 
this manner: shall we do after his 
f saying ? if not, speak thou. 

7 And Hushai said unto Absalom, 
The counsel that Ahithophel hath 
f given is not good at this time. 

8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest 
thy father and his men, that they be 
mighty men, and they be f chafed in 
their minds, as ^ a bear robbed of her 
whelps in the field : and thy father 
is a man of war, and will not lodge 
with the people. 

9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, 
or in some other place : and it will 
come to pass, when some of them 
be t overthrown at the first, that 
whosoever heareth it will say, There 
is a slaughter among the people that 
follow Absalom. 

10 Andhealsoi/ta^ IS valiant, whose 
heart is as the heart of a lion, shall ut- 
terly d melt : for all Israel knoweth that 
thy father is a mighty man, and they 
which be with him are valiant men.

12 So shall we come upon him in

and we will light upon him as the dew 
falleth on the ground : and of him and 
of all the men that are with him there 
shall not be left so much as one. 

13 Moreover, if he be gotten into a 
city, then shall all Israel bring ropes 
to that city, and we will draw it into 
the river, until there be not one 
small stone found there. 

14 And Absalom and all the men 
of Israel said. The counsel of Hushai 
the Archite is better than the coun- 
sel of Ahithophel. For ? the Lord 
had f appointed to defeat the good 
counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent 
that the Lord might bring evil upon 
Absalom. 

15 *|| h Then said Hushai unto Zadok 
and to Abiathar the priests,Thus and 
thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom 
and the elders of Israel ; and thus 
and thus have I counselled. 

16 Now therefore send quickly, and 
tell David, saying. Lodge not this 
night 'in the plains of the wilder- 
ness, but speedily pass over ; lest the 
king be swallowed up, and all the 
people that are with him. 

17 J^Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz 
1 stayed by "> En-rogel ; for they might 
not be seen to come into the city : 
and a wench went and told them; 
and they went and told king David. 

18 Nevertheless, a lad saw them, 
and told Absalom : but they went 
both of them away quickly, and 
came to a man's house " in Bahurim, 
which had a well in his court ; whither 
they went down. 

1 9 And ° the woman took and spread 
a covering over the well's mouth, and 
spread ground corn thereon; and 
the thing was not known. 

20 And when Absalom's servants 
came to the woman to the house, 
they said, Where is Ahimaaz and 
Jonathan? And Pthe woman said 
unto them. They be gone over the 
brook of water. And when they had 
sought and could not find them, they 
returned to Jerusalem.

21 And it came to pass, after they 
were departed, that they came up 
out of the well, and went and told 
king David, and said unto David, 
1 Arise, and pass quickly over the 
water: for thus hath Ahithophel 
counselled against jou. 

22 Then David arose, and all the 
people that were with him, and they 
passed over Jordan : by the morning 
light there lacked not one of them 
that was not gone over Jordan. 

23 Tl And when Ahithophel saw that 
his counsel was not f followed, he 
saddled his ass, and arose, and gat 
him home to his house, to ■■ his city, 
and f put his household in order, and 
changed himself, and died, and was

The battle in the wood of Ephraim. 

2 And David sent forth a third part 
of the people under the hand of Joab, 
and a third pai't under the hand of 
Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's 
brother, ^and a third part under the 
hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the 
king said unto the people, I will 
surely go forth with you myself also. 

3 ''But the people answered. Thou 
shalt not go forth: forif we flee away, 
they will not f care for us ; neither if 
halfofus die, will they care for us: but 
now tliou art f worth ten thousand 
of us: therefore now it is better that 
thou f succour us out of the city. 

4 And the king said unto them. 
What seemeth you best I will do. 
And the king stood by the gate side, 
and all the people came out by hun- 
dreds and by thousands. 

5 And the king commanded Joab 
and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal 
gently for my sake with the young 
man, even with Absalom. '^ And all 
the people heard when the king gave 
all the captains charge concerning 
Absalom. 

6 H So the people went out into the 
field against Israel : and the battle 
was in the "^wood of Ephraim ; 

7 Where the people of Israel were 
slain before the servants of David, 
and there was there a great slaughter 
that day of twenty thousand men. 

8 For the battle was there scattered 
over the face of all the country: and 
the wood f devoured more people 
that day than the sword devoured. 

9 H And Absalom met the servants 
of David. And Absalom rode upon 
a mule, and the mule went under the 
thick boughs of a great oak, and his 
head caught hold of the oak, and he 
was taken up between the heaven 
and the earth ; and the mule that 
was under him went away. 

10 And a certain man saw it, and 
told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw 
Absalom hanged in an oak. 

1 1 And Joab said unto the man 
that told him. And behold, thou 
sawest him, and why didst thou not 
smite him there to the ground ? and 
I would have given thee ten shekels 
of silver, and a girdle. 

12 And the man said unto Joab, 
Though I should f receive a thou- 
sand shekels of silver in my hand, 

357 



Absalom is slain by Joab. II 

yet would I not put forth my hand 
against the king's son: ^for in our 
hearing the king charged thee and 
Abishai and Ittai, saying, f Beware 
that none touch the young man Ab- 
salom. 

1 3 Otherwise I should have wrought 
falsehood against mine own life : for 
there is no matter hid from the king, 
and thou thyself wouldest have set 
thyself against me. 

1 4 Then said Joab, I may not tarry 
thus f with thee. And he took three 
darts in his hand, and thrust them 
through the heart of Absalom, while 
he was yet alive in the -j- midst of the 
oak. 

15 And ten young men that bare 
Joab's armour compassed about and 
smote Absalom, and slew him. 

16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and 
the people i-eturned from pursuing 
after Israel : for Joab held back the 
people. 

17 And they took Absalom, and 
cast him into a. great pit in the wood, 
and Haid a very great heap of stones 
upon him : and all Israel fled every 
one to his tent. 

18 H Now Absalom in his life-time 
had taken and reared up for himself 
a pillar, which is in ethe king's dale : 
for he said, h I have no son to keep 
my name in remembrance : and 
he called the pillar after his own 
name : and it is called unto this day, 
Absalom's Place. 

19 TIThen said Ahimaaz the son of 
Zadok, liCt me now run, and bear 
the king tidings, how that the Lord 
hath f avenged him of his enemies. 

20 And Joab said unto him. Thou 
shalt not f bear tidings this day, but 
thou shalt bear tidings another day : 
but this day thou shalt bear no tid- 
ings, because the king's son is dead. 

21 Then said Joab to Cushi, Go, tell 
the king what thou hast seen. And 
Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and 
ran. 

22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of 
Zadok yet again to Joab, But f how- 
soever, let me, I pray thee, also run 
after Cushi. And Joab said. Where- 
fore wilt thou run, my son, seeing 
that thou hast no tidings || ready? 

23 But howsoever, said he, let me 
run. And he said unto him, Run,

Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the 
plain, and overran Cushi. 

24 And David sat between the two 
gates : and 'the watchman went up to 
the roof over the gate unto the wall,

son of Zadok. And the king said. 
He is a good man, and cometh with 
good tidings. 

28 And Ahimaaz called, and said 
unto the king, 1| f All is well. And 
he fell down to the earth upon his 
face before the king, and said. Bless- 
ed be the Lord thy God, which hath 
f delivered up the men that lifted up 
their hand against my lord the king. 

29 And the king said, f Is the young 
man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz 
answered,When Joab sent the king's 
servant, and me thy servant, I saw a 
great tumult, but I knew not what it 
was. 

30 And the king said unto hhn. 
Turn aside and stand here. And he 
turned aside, and stood still. 

31 And behold, Cushi came ; and 
Cushi said, f Tidings, my lord the 
king: for the Lord hath avenged 
thee this day of all them that rose 
up against thee. 

32 And the king said unto Cushi 
Is the young man Absalom safe? 
And Cushi answered, The enemies 
of my lord the king, and all that rise 
against thee to do thee hurt, be as 
that young man is. 

33 ■[[ Andthe king was much moved, 
and went up to the chamber over 
the gate, and wept : and as he went, 
thus he said, '' O my son Absalom ! 
my son, my son Absalom ! would 
God I had died for thee, O Absalom, 
my son, my son !

Chimham his son is taken into the king's fanii/i/. 
41 The Israelites expostulate uiih Judah for 
bringing home the king tcithout them. 

ND it was told Joab, Behold, the 
king weepeth and mourneth for 
Absalom. 

2 And the f victor}' that day was 
turned into mourning unto all the 
people : for the people heard say that 
day how the king was grieved for his 
son. 

3 And the people gat them by stealth 
that day ^^into the city, as people be- 
ing ashamed steal away when they 
flee in battle. 

4 But the king ''covered his face, 
and the king cried with a loud voice, 
•=0 my son Absalom ! O Absalom, my 
son, my son ! 

5 And Joab came into the house to 
the king, and said, Thou hast shamed 
this day the faces of all thy servants, 
which this day have saved thy life, 
and the lives of thy sons and of thy 
daughters, and the lives of thy wives, 
and the lives of thy concubines ; 

f In that thou lovest thine ene- 
mies,and hatcst thy friends : forthou 
hast declared this day, f that thou re- 
gardest neither princes nor servants : 
for this day I perceive, that if Ab- 
salom had lived, and all we had died 
this day, then it had pleased thee well. 

7 Now thereibre arise, go forth, 
and speak f comfortably unto thy ser- 
vants : for I swear by the Lord, if 
thou go not forth, there will not 
tarry one with thee this night : and 
that will be worse unto thee than all 
the evil that befel thee from thy 
youth until now. 

8 Then the king arose, and sat in 
the gate. And they told unto all the 
people, saying, Behold, the kingdoth 
sit in the gate. And all the people 
came before the king : for Israel had 
fled eveiy man to his tent. 

9 If And all the people were at 
strife throughout all the tribes of Is- 
rael, saying. The king saved us out 
of the hand of our enemies, and he 
delivered us out of the hand of the 
Philistines; and now he is *ifled out d ch. 15. 14.

David's return to Jerusalem, 

therefore why ■]- speak ye not a word 
of bringing the king back ? 

1 1 Tf And king David sent to Za- 
dok and to Abiathar the priests, say- 
ing, Speak unto the elders of Judah, 
saying, Why are ye the last to bring 
the king back to his house ? seeing 
the speech of all Israel is come to the 
king, even to his house. 

12 Ye are my brethren, ye are «my 
bones and my flesh: wherefore then 
are ye the last to bring back the king? 

13 'And say ye to Amasa, Art thou 
not of my bone, and of my flesh ? e God 
do so to me, and more also, if thou 
be not captain of the host before me 
continually in the room of Joab. 

14 And he bowed the heart of all 
the men of Judah, ^ even as the heart 
of one man; so that they sent this 
word unto the king, Return thou, 
and all thy servants. 

15 So the king returned, and came 
to Jordan. And Judah came to 'Gil- 
gal, to go to meet the king, to con- 
duct the king over Jordan. 

16 TI And ^ Shimei the son of Gera, 
a Benjamite, which was of Bahurim, 
hasted and came down with the men 
of Judah to meet king David. 

17 And thei-e were a thousand men 
of Benjamin with him, and 'Ziba the 
servant of the house of Saul, and his 
fifteen sons and his twenty servants 
with him; and they went over Jor- 
dan before the king. 

18 And there went over a ferry-boat 
to carry over the king's household, 
and to do f what he thought good. 
And Shimei the son of Gera fell 
down before the king, as he was 
come over Jordan ; 

19 And said unto the king, "^Let 
not my lord impute iniquity unto 
me, neither do thou remember "that 
which thy servant did perversely the 
day that my lord the king went out 
of Jerusalem, that the king should 
otake it to his heart. 

20 For thy servant doth know that 
I have sinned : therefore behold, I 
am come the first this day of all Pthe 
house of Joseph to go down to meet 
my lord the king. 

21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah 
answered and said, Shall not Shimei 
be put to death for this, because he 
icursed the Lord's anointed ? 

359 



David's gratitude to Barzillai. 

22 And David said, ^ What have I 
to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, 
that ye should this day be adversa- 
ries unto me ? ^ shall there any man 
be put to death this day in Israel ? 
for do not I know that I «mthis day 
king over Israel ? 

23 Therefore Hhe king said unto 
Sliimei, Thou shalt not die : and 
the king sware unto him. 

24 II And "Mephibosheth the son 
of Saul came down to meet the king, 
and had neither dressed his feet, nor 
trimmed his beard, nor washed his 
clothes, from the day the king de- 
parted until the day he came again 
in peace. 

25 And it came to pass, when he 
was come to Jerusalem to meet the 
king, that the king said unto him, 
-^Wherefore wentest not thou with 
me, Mephibosheth ? 

26 And he answered, My lord, O 
king, my servant deceived me : for 
thy servant said, I will saddle me an 
ass, that I may ride thereon, and go 
to the king ; because thy servant is 
lame. 

27 And yhe hath slandered thy ser- 
vant unto my lord the king ; ==but my 
lord the king is as an angel of God : do 
therefore what is good in thine eyes 

28 For all of my father's house were 
but f dead men before my lord the 
king: ^^yet didst thou set thy servant 
among them that did eat at thine own 
table. What right therefore have I 
yet to cry any more unto the king ? 

29 And the king said unto him, 
Why speakest thou any more of thy 
matters ? I have said, Thou and Ziba 
divide the land. 

30 And Mephibosheth said unto 
the king. Yea, let him take all, for 
asmuch as my lord the king is come 
again in peace unto his own house. 

31 lIAnd ^Barzillai the Gileadite 
came down from Rogelim, and went 
over Jordan with the king, to con- 
duct him over Jordan. 

32 Now Barzillai was a veiy aged 
man, even fourscore years old : and 
*= he had provided the king of suste- 
nance while he lay at Mahanaim : 
for he was a very great man. 

33 And the king said unto Barzillai, 
Come thou over with me, and I will 
feed thee with me in Jerusalem.

Chimham taken into the hinges family, 

34 And Barzillai said unto the 
king, f How long have I to live, that 
I should go up with the king unto 
Jerusalem ? 

35 I am this day <i fourscore years 
old : and can I discern between good 
and evil ? can thy servant taste what 
I eat or what I drink ? can I hear 
any more the voice of singing-men 
and singing- women? wherefore then 
should thy servant be yet a burden 
unto my lord the king 1 

36 Thy servant will go a little way 
over Jordan with the king : and why 
should the king recompense it me 
with such a reward 1 

37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn 
back again, that I may die in mine 
own city, and be buried by the grave 
of my father and of my mother: but 
behold thy servant ^Chimham ; let 
him go over with my lord the king ; 
and do to him what shall seem good 
unto thee. 

38 And the king answered, Chim- 
ham shall go over with me, and I 
will do to him that which shall seem 
good unto thee : and whatsoever thou 
shalt f require of me, that will I do 
for thee. 

39 And all the people went over 
Jordan. And when the king was 
come over, the king %issed Barzillai, 
and blessed him : and he returned 
unto his own place. 

40 Then the king went on to Gil- 
gal, and f Chimham went on with 
him : and all the people of Judah 
conducted the king, and also half 
the people of Israel. 

41 TIAnd behold, all the men of 
Israel came to the king, and said un- 
to the king. Why have our brethren 
the men of Judah stolen thee away, 
and shave brought the king, and his 
household, and all David's men with 
him, over Jordan ? 

42 And all the men of Judah an- 
swered the men of Israel, Because 
the king is ''near of kin to us : where- 
fore then be ye angry for this matter ? 
have we eaten at all of the king's 
cost ? or hath he given us any gift ? 

43 And the men of Israel answered 
the men of Judah, and said, We have 
ten parts in the king, and we have 
also more right in David than ye : 
why then did ye f despise us, that

1 By occasion of ihf quarrel, Slieba malceth a 
party in Israel. 3 David's ten concubines are 
shut up in perpetual prison. 4 Amasa, made cap- 
tain over Judah, is slain hyjoab. \i Juab pursu- 
eth Sheba unto Abel. Id A wise woman soveth 
the city by Sheba's head. 23 David's officers. 

AND there happened to be there 
a man of Behal, whose name 
ivas Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Ben- 
jamite: and lie blew a trumpet, and 
said, ^^ We have no part in David, ; a ch. 19. 43. 
neither have we inheritance in the 
son of Jesse : ^every man to his 
tents, O Israel. 

2 So every man of Israel went up 
from after David, and followed 
Sheba the son of Bichri: but the 
men of Judah clave unto their king, 
from Jordan even to Jerusalem. 

3 "HAnd David came to his house 
at Jerusalem ; and the king took the 
ten women his <^ concubines, whom 
he had left to keep the house, and 
put them in fward, and fed them, 
but went not in unto them. So they 
were f shut up unto the day of their 
death, f living in widowhood. 

4 TiThen said the king to Amasa, 
''t Assemble me the men of Judah 
within three days, and be thou here 
present. 

5 So Amasa went to assemble the 
men of Judah : but he tarried longer 
than the set time which he had ap- 
pointed him. 

G And David said to Abishai, Now 
shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us 
more harm than did Absalom : take 
thou «thy lord's servants and pursue 
after him, lest he get him fenced 
cities, and f escape us. 

7 And there went out after him 
Joab's men, and the fCherethites, 
and the Pelethites, and all the mighty 
men: and they went out of Jeru- 
salem, to pursue after Sheba the 
son of Bichri. 

8 When they were at the great 
stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa 
went before them. And Joab's gar- 
ment that he had put on was girded 
unto him, and upon it a girdle with 
a sword fastened upon his loins in

forth it fell out. 

9 And Joab said to Amasa, Ai-t 
thou in health, my brother? sAnd 
Joab took Amasa by the beard with 
the right hand to kiss him. 

10 But Amasa took no heed to the 
sword that was in Joab's hand: so 
hhe smote him therewith 'in the fifth 
rib, and shed out his bowels to the 
ground, and f struck him not again ; 
and he died. So Joab and Abishai 
his brother pursued after Sheba the 
son of Bichri. 

11 And one of Joab's men stood 
by him, and said, He that favoureth 
Joab, and he that is for David, let 
him go after Joab. 

12 And Amasa wallowed in blood 
in the midst of the highway. And 
when the man saw that all the peo- 
ple stood still, he removed Amasa 
out of the highway into the field, and 
cast a cloth upon him, when he saw 
that every one that came by him 
stood still. 

13 When he was removed out of 
the highway, all the people went on 
after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the 
son of Bichri. 

14 HAnd he went through all the 
tribes of Israel unto i^Abel, and to 
Beth-maachah, and all the Berites : 
and they were gathered together, 
and went also after him. 

15 And they came and besieged 
him in Abel of Beth-maachah, and 
they 'cast up a bank against the city, 
and II it stood in the trench : and all 
the people that were with Joab f bat- 
tered the wall, to throw it down. 

16 TIThen cried a wise woman out 
of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray 
you, unto Joab, Come near hither, 
that I may speak with thee. 

17 And when he was come near 
unto her, the woman said. Art thou 
Joab ? And he answered, I am he. 
Then she said unto him. Hear the 
words of thy handmaid. And he 
answered, I do hear. 

18 Then she spake, saying, ||They 
were wont to speak in old time, say- 
ing. They shall surely ask counsel at 
Abel : and so they ended the matter. 

19 I am one of them that are peace- 
able and faithful in Israel: thou seek- 
est to destroy a city and a mother in 

361 



David! s great officers. 

Israel: why wilt thou swallow up 
'"the inheritance of the Loud? 

20 And Joab answered and said, 
Far be it, far be it from me, that I 
should swallow up or destroy. 

21 The matter is not so : but a man 
of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of 
Bichri fby name, hath lifted up his 
hand against the king, even against 
David : deliver him only, and I will 
depart from the city. And the woman 
said unto Joab, Behold, his head 
shall be thrown to thee over the wall. 

22 Then the woman went unto all 
the people "in her wisdom. And 
they cut off the head of Sheba the 
son of Bichri and cast it out to Joab. 
And he blew a trumpet, and they 
■\ retired from the city, every man to 
his tent. And Joab returned to Jeru- 
salem unto the king. 

23 II Now °Joab was over all the 
host of Israel : and Benaiah the son 
of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites 
and over the Pelethites : 

24 And Adoram was Pover the tri- 
bute : and iJehoshaphat the son of 
Ahilud was || recorder: 

25 And Sheva ivas scribe : and ^Za-

ther for us shalt thou kill any man in 
Israel. And he said. What ye shall 
say, that will I do for you. 

5 And they answered the king. The

vised against us, that we should be 
destroyed from remaining in any of 
the coasts of Israel, 

6 Let seven men of his sons be de- 
livered unto us, and we will hang 
them up unto the Lord <=in Gibeah 
of Saul, '^\\whom the Lord did 
choose. And the king said, I will 
give them. 

7 But the king spared Mephibo- 
sheth, the son of Jonathan, the son 
of Saul, because of ^the Lord's oath 
that was between them, between Da- 
vid and Jonathan the son of Saul. 

8 But the king took the two sons of 
^Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom 
she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Me- 
phibosheth ; and the five sons of 
II Michal the daughter of Saul, whom 
she f brought up for Adriel, the son 
of Barzillai the Meholathite : 

9 And he delivered them into the 
hands of the Gibeonites, and they 
hanged them in the hill s before the 
Lord : and they fell all seven toge- 
ther, and were put to death in the 
days of harvest, in the first days, in 
the beginning of barley-harvest. 

10 TIAnd ''Rizpah the daughter of 
Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it 
for her upon the rock, 'from the be- 
ginning of harvest until water drop- 
ped upon them out of heaven, and 
suffered neither the birds of the air 
to rest on them by day, nor the 
beasts of the field by night. 

11 And it was told David what 
Rizpah the daughter of Aiah the 
concubine of Saul had done. 

12 IF And David went and took the 
bones of Saul and the bones of Jo- 
nathan his son from the men of '^ Ja- 
besh-gilead, which had stolen them 
from the street of Beth-shan, where 
the 1 Philistines had hanged them, 
when the Philistines had slain Saul 
in Gilboa : 

13 And he brought up from thence 
the bones of Saul and the bones of 
Jonathan his son : and they gathered 
the bones of them that were hanged.

Davidts psalm of thanksgiving 

14 And the bones of Saul and Jo- 
nathan his son buried they in the 
country of Benjamin in "" Zelah, in 
the sepulchre of Kish his father: 
and they performed all that the king 
commanded. And after that "God 
was entreated for the land. 

15 IfMoreover, the Philistines had 
yet war again with Israel ; and Da- 
vid went down, and his servants 
with him, and fought against the 
Philistines : and David waxed faint. 

16 And Ishbi-benob, which ivas of 
the sons of |J the giant, the weight of 
whose f spear weighedthree hundred 
shekels of brass in weight, he being 
girded with a new sword, thought to 
have slain David. 

17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah 
succoured him, and smote the Philis- 
tine, and killed him. Then the men 
of David sware unto him, saying, 
°Thou shalt go no more out with us 
to battle, that thou quench not the 
P t light of Israel. 

18 f| And it came to pass after this, 
that there was again a battle with 
the Philistines at Gob: then ■'Sib- 
bechai the Hushathite slew || Saph, 
which was of the sons of || the giant. 

19 And there was again a biittle in 
Gob with the Philistines, where El- 
hanan the son of ||Jaare-oregim, a 
Beth-lehemite, slew ^the brother of 
Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose 
spear was like a weaver's beam. 

20 And I there was yet a battle in 
Gath, where was a man oi great sta- 
ture, that had on every hand six 
fingers, and on every foot six toes, 
four and twenty in number; and he 
also was born to |1 the giant. 

21 And when he || defied Israel, 
Jonathan the son of " Shimeah the 
brother of David slew him. 

22 '^ These four were born to the 
giant in Gath, and fell by the hand 
of David, and by the hand of his 
servants.

3 The God of my rock ; ^in him 
will I trust: he is my ^ shield, and 
the ""horn of my salvation, my high 
?tower, andmy ^refuge, my saviour; 
thou savest me from violence. 

4 I will call on the Lord, idIw is 
worthy to be praised : so shall I be 
saved from mine enemies. 

5 When the || waves of death com- 
passed me, the floods of f ungodly 
men made me afraid ; 

6 The II 'sorrows of hell compassed 
me about ; the snares of death pre- 
vented me ; 

7 In my distress "^T called upon the 
Lord, and cried to my God: and he 
did 'hear my voice out of his temple, 
and my cry did enter into his ears. 

8 Then "'the earth shook and trem- 
bled : "the foundations of heaven mov- 
ed and shook, because he was wroth. 

9 There went up a smoke f out of 
his nostrils, and "fire out of his mouth 
devoured : coals were kindled by it. 

10 He P bowed the heavens also, 
and came down ; and i darkness was 
under his feet. 

11 And he rode upon a cherub, and 
did fly : and he was seen ' upon the 
wings of the wind. 

12 And he made « darkness pavilions 
round about him, f dark waters, and 
thick clouds of the skies. 

13 Through the brightness before 
him were ' coals of fire kindled. 

14 The Lord "thundered from 
heaven, and the Most High uttered 
his voice. 

15 And he sent out ''arrows, and 
scattered them ; lightning, and dis- 
comfited them. 

16 And the channels of the sea ap- 
peared, the foundations of the Avorld 
were discovered, at the y rebuking of 
the Lord, at the blast of the breath 
of his II nostrils. 

17 ^He sent from above, he took 
me ; he drew me out of || many 
waters : 

1 8 ^ He delivered me from my strong 
enemy, andirom them that hated me : 
for they were too strong for me. 

19 They prevented me in the day 
of my calamity : but the Lord was 
my stay. 

20 ''He brought me forth also into

a large place: he delivered me, be- 
cause he "^delighted in me. 

21 ^ The Lord rewarded me accor- 
ding to my righteousness : according 
to the <= cleanness of my hands hath 
he recompensed me. 

22 For I have- f kept the ways of 
the Lord, and have not wickedly 
departed from my God. 

23 For all his & judgments were be- 
fore me : and as for his statutes, I did 
not depart from them. 

24 I was also 'i upright f befoi-e him, 
and have kept myself from mine ini- 
quity. 

25 Therefore "the Lord hath re- 
compensed me according to my right- 
eousness ; according to my cleanness 
f in his eye-sight. 

26 With I'the merciful thou wilt 
shew thyself merciful, and with the 
upright man thou wilt shew thyself 
upright. 

27 With the pure thou wilt shew 
thyself pure ; and ^ with the froward 
thou wilt II shew thyself unsavory. 

28 And the ™ afflicted people thou 
wilt save : but thine eyes are upon 
" the haughty, that thou mayest bring 
them down. 

29 For thou art my |i lamp, O 
Lord : and the Lord will lighten my 
darkness. 

30 For by thee I have ||run through 
a troop : by my God have I leaped 
over a wall. 

31 As for God, ° his way is perfect ; 
Pthe word of the Lord is \\ tried : he is 
a buckler to all them that trust in him. 

32 For q who 2sGod,save the Lord? 
and who is a rock, save our God ? 

33 God is my "■ strength and power: 
and he Ismaketh my way 'perfect. 

34 He t maketh my feet » like 
hinds' feet: and "setteth me upon 
my high places. 

35 J'He teacheth my hands f to 
war ; so that a bow of steel is broken 
by mine arms. 

36 Thou hast also given me the 
shield of thy salvation: and thy gen- 
tleness hath f made me great. 

37 Thou hast ^ enlarged my steps 
under me ; so that my f feet did not 
slip. 

38 I have pursued mine enemies, 
and destroyed them ; and turned not 
again until I had consumed them.

for God's mighty deliverances,^ 

39 And I have consumed them, and 
wounded them, that they could not 
arise: yea, they are fallen ^^ under my 
feet. 

40 For thou hast ''girded me with 
strength to battle : <=them that rose 
up against me hast thou -j- subdued 
under me. 

41 Thou hast also given me the 
<^ necks of mine enemies, that I might 
destroy them that hate me. 

42 They looked, but there was none 
to save ; even ^unto the Lord, but he 
answered them not. 

43 Then did I beat them as small 
''as the dust of the earth, I did stamp 
them sas the mire of the street, and 
did spread them abroad. 

44 ''Thou also hast delivered me 
from the strivings of my people, thou 
hast kept me to be 'head of the hea- 
then : ^a people which I knew not 
shall serve me. 

45 1 Strangers shall || f submit them- 
selves unto me : as soon as they hear, 
they shall be obedient unto me. 

46 Strangers shall fade away, and 
they shall be afraid 'out of their close 
places. 

47 The Lord liveth ; and blessed 
he my, rock ; and exalted be the God 
of the ""rock of my salvation. 

48 It is God that f avengeth me,, 
and that "bringeth down the people 
under me, 

49 And that bringeth me forth from 
mine enemies : thou also hast lifted 
me up on high above them that rose 
up against me : thou hast delivered 
me from the ° violent man. 

50 Therefore I will give thanks 
unto thee, O Lord, among Pthe hea- 
then, and I will sing praises unto thy 
name. 

51 iHe is the tower of salvation for 
his king: and sheweth mercy to his 
'anointed, unto David, and no his 
seed for evermore.

2 =The Spirit of the Lord spake by 
me, and his word was in my tongue. 

3 The God of Israel said, ^ the Rock 
of Israel spake to me, || He that ruleth 
over men must he just, ruling '^in the 
fear of God. 

4 And f he shall he as the light of 
the morning when the sun riseth, 
even a morning without clouds ; as 
the tender grass springing out of the 
earth by clear shining after rain. 

5 Although my house he not so with 
God; ?yet he hath made with me an 
everlasting covenant, ordered in all 
things, and sure : for this is all my 
salvation, and all my desire, although 
he make it not to grow. 

6 If But the sons of Belial shall be 
all of them as thorns thrust away, 
because they cannot be taken with 
hands: 

7 But the man that shall touch 
them must be f fenced with iron and 
the staff' of a spear ; and they shall 
be utterly burned with fire in the 
same place. 

8 TI These be the names of the 
mighty men whom David had : |i The | 
Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief 
among the captains ; the same was 
Adino the Eznite : || he lifted up his 
spear against eight hundred, f wiiom 
he slew at one time. 

9 And after him was "lEIeazar the 
son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the 
three mighty men with David, when 
they defied the Philistines that were 
there gathered together to battle, and 
the men of Israel were gone away : 

10 He arose, and smote the Philis- 
tines until his hand was weary, and 
his hand clave unto the sword: and 
the Lord wrought a great victory 
that day; and the people returned 
after him only to spoil. 

11 And after him was ' Shammah 
the son of Agee tiie Hararite. i^And 
the Philistines were gathered toge 
ther II into a troop, where was a piece 
of ground full of lentiles: and the 
people fled from the Philistines

14 And David a'osthen in °a hold, 
and the garrison of the Philistines 
was then in Beth-lehem. 

15 And David longed, and said, 
Oh that one would give me drink of 
the water of tlie well of Beth-lehem, 
which is by the gate ! 

16 And the three mighty men brake 
through the host of the Philistines, 
and drew water out of the well of 
Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and 
took it, and brought it to David : ne- 
vertheless he would not drink thereof, 
but poured it out unto the Lord. 

17 And he said. Be it far from me, 
O Lord, that I should do this: is not 
this Pthe blood of the men that went 
in jeopardy of their lives? therefore 
he would not drink it ~ 
did these three mighty men 

18 And ".Abishai, the brother of 
Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief 
among three. And he lifted up his 
spear against three hundred, f and 
slew them, and had the name among 
three. 

19 Was he not most honourable of 
three ? therefore he was their cap- 
tain : howbeit he attained not unto 
the first three. 

20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoia- 
da, the son of a valiant man, of ""Kab- 
zeel, fwhohad done many acts, ^he 
slew two f lion-like men of Moab: he 
went down also and slew a lion in the 
midst of a pit in time of snow : 

21 And he slew an Egyptian, fa 
goodly man; and the Egyptian had a 
spear in his hand ; but he went down 
to him with a staff", and plucked the 
spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and 
slew him with his own spear. 

22 These things did Benaiah the 
son of Jehoiada, and had the name

1 David, tempted hy Satan, forceth Joab to num 
ber the people. 5 The captains, in nine months 
and tn-ciUy days, bring the muster of thirteen 
hundred thousand fighting men. 10 David, hav- 
ing three plagues propounded by Gad, repeni- 
eth, and chooseth the three days' pestilence. 15 
After the death of threescore and ten thousand, 
David by repentance preventeth the destruction 
of Jerusalem. 18 David, by Gad's direction, 
purchaseth Aramuih's threshing-floor; whert 
having sacrificed, the plague stayeth. 

AND ^^ again the anger of the 
Lord was kindled against Is- 
rael, and II he moved David against 
them to say, ''Go, number Israel and 
Judah. 

2 For the king said to Joab, the 
captain of the host, which was with 
him, II Go now through all the tribes 
of Israel, <=fi-om Dan even to Beer- 
sheba, and number ye the people, 
that ''I may know the number of 
the people. 

3 And Joab said unto the king, 
Now the Lord thy God add unto 
the people, how many soever they 
be, a hundred-fold, and that the eyes 
of my lord the king may see it : but 
why doth my lord the king delight in 
this thing?

prevailed against Joab, and against 
the captains of the host. And Joab 
and the captains of the host went 
out from the presence of the king, 
to number the people of Israel. 

5 T[ And they passed over Jordan, 
and pitched in «^Aroer, on the right side 
of the city that lieth in the midst of the 

river of Gad, and toward fJazer: 

6 Then they came to Gilead, and 
to the II land of Tahtim-hodshi ; and 
they came to sDan-jaan, and about 
to hZidon, 

7 And came to the strong hold of 
Tyre, and to all the cities of the 
Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and 
they went out to the south of Judah, 
even to Beer-sheba. 

8 So when they had gone through 
all the land, they came to Jerusalem 
at the end of nine months and twenty 
days. 

9 And Joab gave up the sum of the 
number of the people unto the king: 
■and there were in Israel eight hun- 
dred thousand valiant men that drew 
the sword ; and the men of Judah 
were five hundred thousand men. 

10 11 And i^ David's heart smote him 
after that he had numbered the peo- 
ple. And David said unto the Lord, 
'I have sinned greatly in that I have 
done: and now, I beseech thee, O 
Lord, take away the iniquity of thy 
servant ; for I have "" done very fool- 
ishly. 

1 1 For when David was up in the 
morning, the word of the Lord came 
unto the prophet " Gad , David's ° seer, 
saying, 

12 Go and say unto David, Thus 
saith the Lord, I offer thee three 
things ; choose thee one of them, 
that I may do it unto thee. 

13 So Gad came to David, and told 
him, and said unto him. Shall P seven 
years of famine come unto thee in 
thy land ? or wilt thou flee three 
months before thine enemies, while 
they pursue thee ? or that there be 
three days' pestilence in thy land ? 
Now advise, and see what answer I 
shall return to him that sent me. 

14 And David said unto Gad, I am 
in a great strait : let us fall now into 
the hand of the Lord ; i for his mer- 
cies are || great ; and ^let me not fall 
into the hand of man.

three days' pestilence. 

15 H So nhe Lord sent a pestilence L^^o^^^g^ 
upon Israel from the morning even joi7. 
to the time appointed : and tiiere died siciiron.21 
of the people from Dan even to 
Beer-sheba seventy thousand men. 

16 'And when the angel stretched 
out his hand upon Jerusalem to de- 
stroy it, "the Lord repented him of 
the evil, and said to the angel that 
destroyed the people, It is enough : 
stay now thy hand. And the angel 
of the Lord was by the threshing- 
place of "^ Araunah the Jebusite. 

17 And David spake unto the Lord 
when he saw the angel that smote 
the people, and said, Lo, ylhave sin- 
ned, and I have done wickedly: but 
these sheep, what have they done ? 
Let thy hand, I pray thee, be against 
me, and against my father's house. 

18 TI And Gad came that day to Da- 
vid, and said unto him, ^ Go up, rear 
an altar unto the Lord in the thresh- 
ing-floor of f Araunah the Jebusite. 

19 And David, according to the 
saying of Gad, went up as the Lord 
commanded. 

20 And Araunah looked, and saw 
the king and his servants coming on 
toward him : And Aiaunah went out.

on his face upon the ground. 

21 And Araunah said, Wherefore is 
my lord the king come to his servant? 
''And David said, To buy the thresh- 
ing-floor of thee, to build an altar 
unto the Lord, that ''the plague 
may be stayed from the people. 

22 And Araunah said unto David, 
Let my lord the king take and offer 
up what seewe^/i good unto him : <^ be 
hold, here be oxen for burnt-sacrifice, 
and threshing-instruments and other 
instruments of the oxen for wood. 

23 All these things did Araunah, as 
a king, give unto the king. And A- 
raunah said unto the king. The Lord 
thy God "i accept thee. 

24 And the king said unto Araunah, 
Nay ; but 1 will surely buy it of thee 
at a price : neither will I offer burnt- 
offerings unto the Lord my God of 
that which doth cost me nothing. 
So « David bought the thresliing-floor 
and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. 

25 And David built there an altar 
unto the Lord, and oflfered burnt-of- 
ferings and peace-offerings. 'So the 
Lord was entreated for the land, and 
?the plague was stayed from Israel.

4 And the damsel was very fair, and

Haggith exalted himself, saying, I

sons, and all the men of Judah the 
king's servants: 

10 But Nathan the prophet, and 
Benaiah, and the mighty men, and 
Solomon his brother, he called not. 

1 1 TI Wherefore Nathan spake un- 
to Bath-sheba the mother of Solo- 
mon, saying, Hast thou not heard 
that Adonijah the son of 'Haggith 
doth reign, and David our lord know- 
eth it not ? 

12 Now therefore come, let me, I 
pray thee, give thee counsel, that 
thou mayest save thine own life, and

why then doth Adonijah reign ? 

14 Behold, while thou yet talkest

15 Tf And Bath-sheba went in unto 
the king into the chamber : and the 
king was very old ; and Abishag the 
Shunammite ministered unto the 
king.

obeisance unto the king. And the 
king said, f What wouldest thou?

22 II And lo, while she yet talked 
with the king, Nathan the prophet 
also came in. 

23 And they told the king, saying, 
Behold Nathan the prophet. And 
when he was come in before the 
king, he bowed himself before the 
king with his face to the ground. 

24 And Nathan said. My lord, O 
king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall 
reign after me, and he shall sit upon 
my throne ? 

25 °For he is gone down this day, 
and hath slain oxen, and fat cattle, 
and sheep in abundance, and hath 
called all the king's sons, and the 
captains of the host, and Abiathar 
the priest ; and behold, they eat and

26 But me, even me thy servant, 
and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah 
the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant 
Solomon, hath he not called. 

27 Is this thing done by my lord 
the king, and thou hast not shewed 
it unto thy servant, who should sit 
on the throne of my lord the king 
after him ? 

28 TI Then king David answered 
and said. Call me Bath-sheba. And 
she came f into the king's presence, 
and stood before the king. 

29 And the king sware, and said, 
lAs the Lord liveth, that hath re-

the Lord God of Israel, saying, As- 
suredly Solomon thy son shall reign 
after me, and he shall sit upon my 
throne in my stead ; even so will I 
certainly do this day. 

31 Then Bath-sheba bowed with 
Iter face to the earth, and did reve- 
rence to the king, and said, ^ Let my 
lord king David live for ever. 

32 II And king David said. Call me 
Zadok the priest, and Nathan the pro- 
phet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoi- 
ada. And they came before the king. 

33 The king also said unto them,

35 Then ye shall come up after him,

36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoia-

37 ^ As the Lord hath been with my 
lord the king, even so be he with So-

38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan

Solomon to ride upon king David's

46 And also Solomon esitteth on

47 And moreover the king's ser-

David, saying, ^God make the name 
of Solomon better than thy name,

himself upon the bed.

49 And all the guests thatM;ere with 
Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, 
and went every man his way. 

50 TI And Adonijah feared because 
of Solomon, and arose, and went, 
and ' caught hold on the horns of 
the altar. 

51 And it was told Solomon, say- 
ing. Behold, Adonijah feareth king 
Solomon : for lo, he hath caught 
hold on the horns of the altar, say- 
ing. Let king Solomon swear unto 
me tcr-day that he will not slay his 
servant with the sword. 

52 And Solomon said. If he will 
shew himself a worthy man, "'there 
shall not a hair of him fall to the 
earth: but if wickedness shall be 
found in him, he shall die. 

53 So king Solomon sent, and they 
brought hin> down from the altar. 
And he came and bowed himself to

I fled because of Absalom thy brother. 

8 And behold, thou hast with thee 
qShimei the son of Gera, a Benja- 
mite of Bahurim, which cursed me 
with a f grievous curse in the day 
when I went to Mahanaim : but >" he 
came down to meet me at Jordan, 
and *• I sware to him by the Lord, say-

thou down to the grave with blood. 

10 So ^ David slept with his fathers, 
and was buried in y the city of David. 

1 1 And the days that David ^ reign-

he in Jerusalem. 

12 T[ a Then sat Solomon upon the

Adonijah is put to death. 

14 He said moreover, I have some- 
what to say unto thee. And she said, 
Say on. 

15 And he said, Thou knowest that 
the kingdom was ^mine, and that all 
Israel set their faces on me, that I 
should reign : howbeit the kingdom 
is turned about, and is become my 
brother's: for <^it was his from the 
Lord. 

16 And now I ask one petition of 
thee, f deny me not. And she said 
unto him. Say on. 

17 And he said. Speak, I pray thee, 
unto Solomon the king, (for he will 
not say thee nay,) that he give me 
*^Abishag the Shunammite to wife. 

18 And Bath-sheba said. Well; I 
will speak for thee unto the king. 

19 11 Bath-sheba therefore went un- 
to king Solomon, to speak unto him 
for Adonijah. And the king rose up 
to meet her, and 'bowed himself 
unto her, and sat down on his 
throne, and caused a seat to be set 
for the king's mother ; g and she sat 
on his right hand. 

20 Then she said, I desire one 
small petition of thee ; / pray thee, 
say me not nay. And the king said 
unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I 
will not say thee nay. 

21 And she said, Let Abishag the 
Shunammite be given to Adonijah 
thy brother to wife. 

22 And king Solomon answered 
and said unto his mother. And why 
dost thou ask Abishag the Shunam- 
mite for Adonijah ? ask for him the 
kingdom also ; for he is mine elder 
brother ; even for him, and for '' Abi- 
athar the priest, and for Joab the 
son of Zeruiah. 

23 Then king Solomon sware by 
the Lord, saying, i God do so to me, 
and more also, if Adonijah have not 
spoken this word against his own life. 

24 Now therefore, as the Lord 
liveth, which hath established me, 
and set me on the throne of David 
my father, and who hath made me a 
house, as he '^promised, Adonijah 
shall be put to death this day. 

25 And king Solomom sent by the 
hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ; 
and he fell upon him that he died. 

26 IF And unto Abiathar the priest 
said the king, Get thee to ' Anathoth,

unto thine own fields ; for thou art 
t worthy of death : but I will not at 
this time put thee to death, '"because 
thou barest the ark of the Lord God 
before David my father, and because 
" thou hast been afflicted in all where- 
in my father was afflicted. 

27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar 
from being priest unto the Lord ; 
that he might "fulfil the word of the 
Lord, which he spake concerning 
the house of Eli in Shiloh. 

28 H Then tidings came to Joab ; 
(for Joab P had turned after Adonijah, 
though he turned not after Absalom :) 
and Joab fled unto the tabernacle of 
the Lord 
liorns of the altar, 

29 And it was told king Solomon 
that Joab was fled unto the taberna- 
cle of the Lord : and behold, he is 
by the altar. Then Solomon sent 
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, say- 
ing. Go, fall upon him. 

30 And Benaiah came to the taber- 
nacle of the Lord, and said unto 
him, Thus saith the king. Come forth. 
And he .said, Nay ; but I will die 
here. And Benaiah brought the king 
word again, saymg. Thus said Joab, 
and thus he answered me. 

31 And the king said unto him, 
■■Do as he hath said, and fall upon 
Inm, and burj' him ; nhat thou may- 
est take away the innocent blood 
which Joab shed, from me, and from 
the house of my father. 

32 And the Lord "^ shall return his 
blood upon his own head, who fell 
upon two men more righteous " and 
better than he, and slew them w ith 
the sword, my father David not 
knowing thereof, to wit, ''Abner the 
son of Ner, captain of the host of Is- 
rael, and yAmasa the son of Jether, 
captain of the host of Judah. 

33 Their blood shall therefore re- 
turn upon the head of Joab, and 
''upon the head of his seed for ever : 
='bul upon David, and upon his seed, 
and upon his house, and upon his 
throne, shall there be peace for ever 
from the Lord 

34 So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada 
went up, and fell upon him, and slew 
him: and he was buried in his own 
house in the wilderness 

35 TIAnd the king put Benaiah the

son of Jehoiada in his room over the 
host : and ''Zadok the priest did the 
king put in the room of <^ Abiathar. 

36 If And the king sent and called 
for "^Shimei, and said unto him, 
Build thee a house in Jerusalem, 
and dwell there, and go not forth 
thence any whither. 

37 For it shall be, that on tlie day 
thou goest out, and passest over <= the 
brook Kidron, thou shalt laiow for 
certain tliat thou shalt surely die : 
'"thy blood shall be upon thine own 
head. 

38 And Shimei said unto the king. 
The saying is good : as my lord the 
king hath said, so will thy servant 
do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem 
many days. 

39 And it came to pass at the end of 
three years, that two of the servants 
of Shimei ran away unto eAchish 
son of Maachah king of Gath : and 
they told Shimei, saying. Behold, 
thy ser\ants be in Gath. 

40 And Shimei arose and saddled 
his ass, and went to Gath to Achish 
to seek his servants : and Shimei 
went and brought his servants fiom 
Gath. 

41 And it was told Solomon that 
Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to 
Gath. and was come again. 

42 And the king sent and called for 
Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not 
make thee to swear by the Lord, and 
protested unto thee, saying, Know for 
a certain, on the day thou goest out, 
and walkest abroad any whither, that 
thou shalt surely die ? and thou saidst 
unto me. The word that I have heard 
is good. 

43 Why then hast thou not kept 
the oath of the Lord, and the com- 
mandment that I have charged thee 
with f 

44 The king said moreover to Shi- 
mei, Thou knowest ''all the wick- 
edness which thy heart is privy to, 
that thou didst to David my father : 
therefore the Lord shall 'return thy 
wickedness upon thine own head ; 

45 And king Solomon shall be 
blessed, and i^the throne of David 
shall be established before the Lord 
for ever. 

46 So the king commanded Be- 
naiah the son of Jehoiada ; which

God gave hint, preferring ivisdom, obtaincth 
wisdom, riches, and honour. 16 Solomon's Judg- 
ment between the two harlots maketh him re-

AND ^ Solomon made affinity with 
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took 
Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her 
into the ''city of David, until he had 
made an end of building his <=own 
house, and ^ the house of the Lord, 
and f^the wall of Jerusalem round 
about. 

2 ''Only the people sacrificed in high 
places, because there was no house 
built unto the name of the Lord, 
until those days, 

3 And Solomon s loved the Lord, 
" walking in the statutes of David his 
father : only he sacrificed and burnt 
incense in high places. 

4 And "the king went to Gibeon to 
sacrifice there ; '^for that ivas the 
great high place : a thousand burnt- 
offerings did Solomon offer upon that 
altar. 

5 TI 'In Gibeon the Lord appeared 
to Solomon ™in a dream by night : 
and God said. Ask what I shall give 
thee. 

6 "And Solomon said, Thou hast 
shewed unto thy servant David my 
father great j| mercy, according as he 
" walked before thee in truth, and in 
righteousness, and in uprightness of 
heart with thee ; and thou hast kept 
for him this great kindness, that thou 
Phast given him a son to sit on his 
throne, as it is this day. 

7 And now, O Lord my God, thou 
hast made thy servant king instead of 
David my father: Tand I am but a 
little child : I know not how '^ to go 
out or come in. 

8 And thy servant is in the midst of 
thy people which thou ^hast chosen, 
a great people, 'that cannot be num- 
bered nor counted for multitude. 

9 "Give therefore thy servant an

people, that I may y discern between 
good and bad : for who is able to 
judge this thy so great a people ?

His judgment between two harlots. 

10 And the speech pleased the Lord, 
that Solomon had asked this thing. 

1 1 And God said unto him. Because 
thou hast asked this thing, and hast 
■''not asked for thyself f long life ; nei- 
ther hast asked riches for thyself, nor 
hast asked the life of thine enemies: 
but hast asked for thyself understand- 
ing f to discern judgment ; 

12 =^ Behold, I have done according 
to thy words: ''lo, I have given thee 
a wise and an understanding heart ; 
so that there was none like thee be- 
fore thee, neither after thee shall any 
arise like unto thee. 

13 And I have also ''given thee that 
which thou hast not asked, both 
•J riches, and honour: so that there 
II shall not be any among the kings 
like unto thee all thy days, 

14 And if thou wilt walk in my 
ways, to keep my statutes and my 
commandments, ^as thy father Da- 
vid did walk, then I will flengthen 
thy days. 

15 And Solomon s awoke; and be- 
hold, it was a dream. And he came 
to Jerusalem, and stood before the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord, 
and offered up burnt-offerings, and 
offered peace-offerings, and iimade a 
feast to all his servants. 

16 11 Then came there two women, 
that loere harlots, unto the king, and 
'stood before him. 

17 And the one woman said, O my 
lord, I and this woman dwell in one 
house ; and I was delivered of a child 
with her in the house. 

18 And it came to pass the third day 
after that I was delivered, that this 
woman was delivered also : and we 
were together; there was no stranger 
with us in the house, save we two in 
the house. 

19 And this woman's child died in 
the night ; because she overlaid it. 

20 And she arose at midnight, and 
took my son from beside me, while 
thy handmaid slept, and laid it in 
her bosom, and laid her dead child 
in my bosom. 

21 And when I arose in the morn- 
ing to give my child suck, behold, it 
was dead: but when I had considered 
it in the morning, behold, it was not 
my son, which I did bear. 

22 And the other woman said. Nay; 

372 



Solomon's chief officers of state. 

but the living is my son, and the 
dead is thy son. And this said, No ; 
but the dead is thy son, and the hv- 
ing is my son. Thus they spake be- 
fore the king. 

23 Then said the king, The one 
saith. This is my son that hveth, and 
thy son is the dead ; and the other 
saith, Nay ; but thy son is the dead, 
and my son is the hving. 

24 And the king said. Bring me a 
sword. And they brought a sword 
before the king. 

25 And the king said. Divide the 
hving child in two, and give half to 
the one, and half to the other. 

26 Then spake the woman whose 
the living child ivas unto the king, 
for '^her bowels f yearned upon her 
son, and she said, O my lord, give 
her the living child, and in no wise 
slay it. But the other said. Let it 
be neither mine nor thine, but divide 
it. 

27 Then the king answered and 
said, Give her the living child, and 
in no wise slay it : she is the mother 
thereof. 

28 And all Israel heard of the judg- 
ment which the king had judged ; 
and they feared the king: for they 
saw that the i wisdom of God was f in 
him, to do judgment.

Hiram g'lveth timber to Solomon 

ND a Hiram king of Tyre sent 
his servants unto Solomon ; for 
he had heard that they had anointed 
him king in the room of his father : 
i' for Hiram was ever a lover of David. 

2 And ^ Solomon sent to Hiram 
saying, 

3 Thou knowest how that David 
my father could not build a house 
unto the name of the Lord his God, 
'ifor the wars which were about him 
on every side, until the Lord put 
them under the soles of his feet. 

4 But now the Lord my God hath 
given me <=rest on every side, so that 
there is neither adversary nor evil 
occurrent. 

5 ^And behold, I ] purpose to build 
a house unto the name of the Lord 
my God, s as the Lord spake unto 
David my father, saying. Thy son, 
whom I will set upon thy throne in 
thy room, he chall build a house unto 
my name. 

Now therefore command thou, 
that they hew me ^^ cedar-trees out 
of Lebanon ; and my servants shall 
be with thy servants : and unto thee 
will I give hire for thy servants ac- 
cording to all that thou shalt f ap- 
point : for thou knowest that there is 
not among us any that can skill to 
hew timber like unto the Sidonians. 

TTIAnd it came to pass, when 
Hiram heard the words of Solomon, 
that he rejoiced greatly, and said. 
Blessed he the Lord this day, which 
hath given unto David a wise son 
over this great people. 

8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, say- 
ing, I have f considered the things 
which thou sentest to me for: and I 
will do all thy desire concerning tim- 
ber of cedar, and concerning timber 
of fir. 

9 My servants shall bring them 
down from Lebanon unto the sea : 
'and I will convey them by sea in 
floats unto the place that thou shalt 
f appoint me, and will cause them to 
be discharged there, and thou shalt 
receive them: and thou shalt accom- 
plish my desire, ^ in giving food for 
my household. 

10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar- 
trees and fir-trees according to all 
his desire. 

11 'And Solomon gave Hiram 

374 



The building of the temple. 

twenty thousand f measures of wheat 
for food to his household, and twenty 
measures of pure oil : thus gave So- 
lomon to Hiram year by year. 

12 And the Lokd gave Solomon 
wisdom, "> as he promised him : and 
there was peace between Hiram and 
Solomon ; and they two made a 
league together. 

13 lAnd king Solomon raised a 
f levy out of all Israel ; and the levy 
was thirty thousand men. 

14 And he sent them to Lebanon 
ten thousand a month by courses ; a 
month they were in Lebanon, and 
two months at home. And » Adoni- 
ram was over the lev^. 

15 '^And Solomon had threescore 
and ten thousand tliat bare burdens, 
and fourscore thousand hewers in 
the mountains ; 

16 Besides the chief of Solomon's 
officers which were over the work, 
three thousand and three hundred, 
which ruled over the people that 
wrought in the work. 

17 And the king commanded, and 
they brought great stones, costly 
stones, an^/P hewed stones, to lay the 
foundation of the house. 

18 And Solomon's builders, and Hi- 
ram's builders did hew them, and the 
II stone-squarers: so they prepared 
tin)ber and stones to build the house

God's promise concerning it. 

4 And for the house he made ^ || win- 
dows of narrow lights. 

5 TI And II against the wall of the 
house he built <^f chambers round 
about, against the walls of the house 
round about, both of the temple ^and 
of the oracle : and he made f cham- 
bers round about. 

6 The nethermost chamber li'as five 
cubits broad, and the middle was six 
cubits broad, and the third icas seven 
cubits broad : for without in the wall 
ofthe house he made | narrowed rests 
round about, that the beams should 
not be fastened in the walls of the 
house. 

7 And ?the house, when it was in 
building, was built of stone made 
ready before it was brought thither: 
so that there was neither hammer 
nor axe, ?ior any tool of iron heard in 
the house, while it was in building. 

8 The door for the middle chamber 
was in the right fside of the house : 
and they went up with winding stairs 
into the middle chamber, and out of 
the middle into the third. 

9 '' So he built the house, and finish- 
ed it; and covered the house ||with 
beams and boards of cedar. 

10 And then he built chambers 
against all the house, five cubits 
high : and they rested on the house 
with timber of cedar. 

11 H And the word of the Lord 
came to Solomon, saying, 

12 C'o?zce?-n7no- this house which thou 
art in building, 'if thou wilt walk in 
my statutes, and execute my judg- 
ments, and keep all my command- 
ments to walk in them ; then will I 
perform my word with thee, ^ which 

I spake unto David thy father: 

13 And 'I will dwell among the 
children of Israel, and will not "' foi"- 
sake my people Israel. 

14 "So Solomon built the house, 
and finished it. 

15 And he built the walls of the 
house within with boards of cedar, 

II both the floor of the house, and the 
walls of the ceiling : a7id he covered 
them on the inside with wood, and 
covered the floor of the house with 
planks of fir. 

16 And he built twenty cubits on 
the sides of the house, both the floor 
and the walls with boards of cedar: 

375 



The cheruhims within the oracle. 

he even built them for it witiiin, even 
for the oracle, even for the ° most 
holy place. 

17 And the house, that is, the tem- 
ple before it, was forty cubits long. 

18 And the cedar of the house 
within was carved with || knops and 
f open flowers : all was cedar ; there 
was no stone seen. 

19 And the oracle he prepared in 
the house within, to set there the ark 
of the covenant of the Lord. 

20 And the oracle in the forepart was 
twenty cubits in length, and twenty 
cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits 
in the height thereof: and he over- 
laid it with t pure gold; and so cover- 
ed the altar which was of cedar. 

21 So Solomon overlaid the house 
within with pure gold : and he made 
a partition by the chains of gold be- 
fore the oracle ; and he overlaid it 
with gold. 

22 And the whole house he overlaid 
with gold, until he had finished all 
the house: also Pthe whole altar 
that was by the oracle he overlaid 
with gold. 

23 ■[[ And within the oracle i he 
made twocherubims of |1 f olive-tree, 
each ten cubits high. 

24 And five cubits was the one 
wing of the cherub, and five cubits 
the other wing of the cherub : from 
the uttermost pail of the one wing 
unto the uttermost part of the other 
were ten cubits. 

25 And the other cherub ivas ten 
cubits : both the cherubims were of 
one measure and one size. 

26 The height of the one cherub 
was ten cubits, and so was it of the 
other cherub. 

27 And he set the cherubims within 
the inner house : and ■■ 1 1 they stretched 
forth the wings of the cherubims, so 
that the wing of the one touched the 
one wall, and the wing of the other 
cherub touched the other wall ; and 
their wings touched one another in 
the midst of the house. 

28 And he overlaid the cherubims 
with gold. 

29 And he carved all the walls of 
the house round about with carved 
figures of cherubims, and palm-trees, 
and f open flowers, within and with- 
out.

30 And the floor of the house he over- 
laid with gold, within and without. 

31 TI And for the entering of the 
oracle he made doors of olive-tree : 
the lintel amrf side-posts wa-e || a fifth 
part of the wall. 

32 The II two doors also were ofolive- 
tree ; and he carved upon them carv- 
ings of cherubims, and palm-trees, and 
f open flowers, and overlaid them with 
gold, and spread gold upon the che- 
rubims, and upon the palm-trees. 

33 So also made he for the door of 
the temple, posts of olive-tree, || a 
fourth part of the wall. 

34 And the two doors ivere of fir- 
tree : the s two leaves of the one door 
were folding, and the two leaves of 
the other door were folding. 

35 And he carvedi/iereoTi cherubims, 
and palm-trees, and open flowers; 
and covered them with gold, fitted 
upon the carved work. 

36 TlAnd he built the inner court 
with three rows of hewed stone, and 
a row of cedar beams. 

37 ^ 1 1,-, the fourth year was the 
foundation of the house of the Lord 
laid, in the month Zif : 

38 And in the eleventh year, in the 
month Bui (which is the eighth 
month) was the house finished 
II throughout all the parts thereof, 
and according to all the fashion of 
it. So was he "seven years in build- 
ing it.

BUT Solomon was building his

2 ^ He built also the house of the

of was a hundred cubits, and the 
breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the 
height thereof thirty cubits, upon 
four rows of cedar pillars, with ce^ 
dar beams upon the pillars. 

3 And it was covered with cedar

forty-five pillars, fifteen in a row. 

4 And there were windows in three 
rows, and f light was against light in 
three ranks. 

376 



Solomon's other huildings. 

5 And all the || doors and posts were 
square with the windows : and light 
was against light in three ranks. 

6 ^ And he made a porch of pillars ; 
the length thereof was fifty cubits, 
and the breadth thereof thirty cubits : 
and the porch was || before them : 
and the other pillars and the thick 
beam were \\ before them. 

7 TI Then he made a porch for the 
throne where he might judge, even 
the porch of judgment : and it was 
covered with cedar f from one side 
of the floor to the other. 

8 11 And his house where he dwelt 
had another court within the porch, 
which was of the like work. Solomon 
made also a house for Pharaoh's 
daughter, ''whom he had taken to 
wife, like unto this porch. 

9 All these were of costly stones, 
according to the measures of hewed 
stones, sawed with saws, within and 
without, even from the foundation 
unto the coping, and so on the out 
side toward the great court. 

10 And the foundation vjas of cost 
ly stones, even great stones; stones of 
ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits 

11 And above ivere costly stones, 
after the measures of hewed stones, 
and cedars. 

12 And the great court round about 
was with three rows of hewed stones, 
and a row of cedar beams, both for the 
inner court of the house of the Lord. 
'and for the porch of the house.

Khe was filled with wisdom, and un-

works in brass. And he came to king 
Solomon, and wrought all his work. 

15 For he feast ''two pillars of 
brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: 
and a line of twelve cubits did com- 
pass either of them about. 

16 And he made two chapiters of

18 And he made the pillars, and two 
rows round about upon the one net- 
work, to cover the chapiters thatioere 
upon the top, with pomegranates : 
and so did he for the other chapiter. 

19 And the chapiters that ivere up-

20 And the chapiters upon the two

were ' two hundred in I'ows round

it, ten in a cubh, " compassing the 
sea round about : the knops were 
cast in two rows, when it was cast. 

25 It stood upon "twelve oxen, three 
looking toward the north, and three 
looking toward the west, and three 
looking toward the south, and three 
looking toward the east : and the sea 
was set above upon them, and all 
their hinder parts were inward. 

26 And it was a hand-breadth 
thick, and the brim thereof was 
wrought like the brim of a cup, with 
flowers of lilies : it contained P two 
thousand baths. 

27 T[ And he made ten bases of brass ; 
fourcubitsiijasthe lengthof one base, 
and four cubits the breadth thereof, 
and three cubits the height of it. 

28 And the work of the bases was on 
this manner : They had borders, and 
the borders u'ere between the ledges: 

29 And on the borders that were 
between the ledges were lions, oxen, 
and cherubims : and upon the ledges 

377 



Of the ten lavers, 

there was a base above : and beneath 
the lions and oxen were certain addi- 
tions made of thin work. 

30 And every base had four brazen 
wheels, and plates of brass : and the 
fourcorners thereof had undersetters: 
under the laver were undersetters 
molten, at the side of every addition. 

31 And the mouth of it within the 
chapiter and above was a cubit : but 
the mouth thereof was round after 
the work of the base, a cubit and a 
half: and also upon the mouth of it 
ivei-e gravings with their borders, 
four-square, not round. 

32 And under the borders were 
four wheels ; and the axletrees of the 
wheels iwere -f joined to the base: and 
the height of a wheel was a cubit and 
half a cubit. 

33 And the work of the wheels was 
like the work of a chariot wheel : 
their axletrees, and their naves, and 
their felloes, and their spokes, were 
all molten. 

34 And there were four undersetters 
to the four corners of one base : and 
the undersetters we7'e of the very 
base itself 

35 And in the top of the base was 
there a round compass of half a cubit 
high : and on the top of the base the 
ledges thereof and the bordei's there- 
of were of the same. 

36 For on the plates of the ledges 
thereof, and on the borders thereof, 
he graved cherubims, lions, and palm- 
trees, according to the f proportion of 
every one, and additions round about. 

37 After this manner he made the 
ten bases : all of them had one cast- 
ing, one measure, and. one size. 

38 "TI Then qmade he ten lavers 
of brass : one laver contained forty 
baths : and. every laver was four cu- 
bits : and upon every one of the ten 
bases one laver. 

39 And he put five bases on the 
right f side of the house, and five on 
the left side of the house : and he set 
the sea on the right side of the house 
eastward, over against the south. 

40 TI And f Hiram made the lavers, 
and the shovels, and the basins. So 
Hiram made an end of doing all the 
work that he made king Solomon for 
the house of the Lord:

for the house of the Lord, were of 

1 bright brass. 

46 tin the plain of Jordan did the 
king cast them, fin the clay-ground 
between "Succoth and ^Zarthan. 

47 And Solomon left all the vessels 
unweighed, f because they were ex- 
ceeding many : neither was the 
weight of the brass ■{■ found out. 

48 And Solomon made all the ves- 
sels that pertained unto the house of 
the Lord : J'the altar of gold, and 

2 the table of gold, whereupon ^^the 
shew-bread ivas, 

49 And the candlesticks of pure 
gold, five on the right side, and five 
on the left, before the oracle, with 
the flowers, and the lamps, and the 
tongs of gold, 

50 And the bowls, and the snuffers, 
and the basins, and the spoons, and 
the f censers of pure gold ; and the 
hinges of gold, hoth for the doors of 
the inner house, the most holy place, 
and for the doors of the house, to 
wit, of the temple. 

51 So was ended all the work that 
king Solomon made for the house of 
the Lord. And Solomon brought in 
the f things ^which David his father 
had dedicated : even the silver, and 
the gold, and the vessels, did he put 
among the treasures of the house of 
the Lord.

2 And all the men of Israel assem- 
bled themselves unto king Solomon 
at the ''feast in the month Ethanim, 
which is the seventh month. 

3 And all the elders of Israel came, 
«=and the priests took up the ark. 

4 And they brought up the ark of 
the Lord, ""and the tabernacle of the 
congregation, and all the holy ves- 
sels that were in the tabernacle, even 
those did the priests and the Levites 
bring up. 

5 And king Solomon, ^nd all the 
congregation of Israel, that were as- 
sembled unto him, were with him be- 
fore the ark, g sacrificing sheep and 
oxen, that could not be told nor 
numbered for multitude. 

6 And the priests ''brought in tlie 
ark of the covenant of the Lord un- 
to 'his place, into the oracle of the 
house, to the most \\o\\ place, even 
^ under the wings of the cherubims. 

7 For the cherubims spread forth 
their two wings over the place of the 
ark, and the cherubims covered the 
ark and the staves thereof above. 

8 And they 'drew out the staves, 
that the fends of the staves were seen 
out in the || holy place before the ora- 
cle, and they were not seen without: 
and there they are unto this day. 

9 "1 There was nothing in the ark 
"save the two tables of stone, which 
Moses oput there at Horeb, || Pwhen 
the Lord made a covenant with the 
children of Israel, when they came 
out of the land of Egypt. 

10 And it came to pass, when the 
priests were come out of the holy 
place, that the cloud 'i filled the house 
of the Lord, 

11 So that the priests could not 
stand to minister because of the 
cloud : for the glorj' of the Lord 
had filled the house of the Lord.

gation of Israel : and all the con- 
gregation of Israel stood ; 

15 And he said, > Blessed he the 
Lord God of Israel, which "^ spake 
with liis mouth unto David my fa- 
ther, and hath with his hand fulfilled 
it, saying, 

16 a Since the day that I brought 
forth my people Israel out of Egypt, 
I chose no city out of all the tribes 
of Israel to build a house, that '^ my 
name might be therein ; but I chose 
'= David to be over my people Israel. 

17 And '^ it was in the heart of Da- 
vid my father to build a house for 
the name of the Lord God of Israel. 

18 ''And the Lord said unto David 
my father, Whereas it was in thy 
heart to build a house unto my name, 
thou didst well that it was in thy 
heart. 

19 Nevertheless, ^thou shalt not 
build the house ; but thy son that 
shall come forth out of thy loins, he 
shall build the house unto my name. 

20 And the Lord hath performed 
his woi'd that he spake, and I am 
risen up in the room of David my 
father, and sit on the throne of Is- 
rael, gas the Lord promised, and 
have built a house for the name of 
the Lord God of Israel. 

21 And I have set there a place for 
the ark, wherein is ^ the covenant of 
the Lord, which he made with our 
fathers, when he brought them out 
of the land of Egjpt. 

22TIAnd Solomon stood before 'the 
altar of the Lord in the presence 
of all the congregation of Israel, 
and •> spread forth his hands toward 
heaven : 

23 And he said. Lord God of Is- 
rael, "> tliere is no God like thee, in 
heaven above, or on earth beneath, 
"who keepest covenant and mercy 
with thy sei-vants that » walk before 
thee with all their heart : 

24 AVho hast kept with thy sei-\'ant 
David my father that thou promis- 
edst him : thou spakest also with 
thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with 
thy hand, as it is this day. 

25 Therefore now, Lord God of 
Israel, keep with thy servant David 
my father that thou promisedst him, 
saying, p f There shall not fail thee a 
man in my sight to sit on the throne 

379 



Solomon's prayer at the 

of Israel ; f so that thy children take 
heed to their way, that they walk 
before me as thou hast walked be- 
fore me. 

26 q And now, O God of Israel, let 
thy word, I pray thee, be verified, 
which thou spakest unto thy servant 
David my father. 

27 But "^will God indeed dwell on 
the earth ? behold the heaven and 
^heaven of heavens cannot contain 
thee ; how much less this house that 
I have builded ? 

28 Yet have thou respect unto the 
prayer of thy servant, and to his sup- 
plication, O Lord my God, to heark- 
en unto the cry and to the prayer, 
which thy servant pi'ayeth before 
thee to-day: 

29 That thine eyes may be open 
toward this house night and day, even 
toward the place of which thou hast 
said, t My name shall be there : that 
thou mayest hearken unto the prayer 
which thy servant shall ma-ke " || to- 
ward this place. 

30 ^ And hearken thou to the sup- 
plication of thy servant, and of thy 
people Israel, when they shall pray 
!| toward this place : and hear thou in 
heaven thy dwelling-place : and when 
thou hearest, forgive. 

31 TI If any man trespass against 
his neighbour, f and y an oath be laid 
upon him to cause him to swear, and 
the oath come before thine altar 
in this house : 

32 Then hear thou in heaven, and 
do, and judge thy servants, ^ con- 
demning the wicked, to bring his 
way upon his head; and justifying 
the righteous, to give him according 
to his righteousness. 

33 IT '^When thy people Israel be 
smitten down before the enemy, be- 
cause they have sinned against thee, 
and b shall turn again to thee, and 
confess thy name, and pray, and 
make supplication unto thee || in this 
house : 

34 Then hear thou in heaven, and 
forgive the sin of thy people Israel, 
and bring them again unto the land 
which thou gavest unto tiieir fathers.

56 Blessed he the Lord, that hath 
given rest unto his people Israel, ac- 
cording to all that he promised : 
z there hath not j failed one word of 
all his good promise, which he pro- 
mised by the hand of jMoses his ser- 
vant. 

57 The Lord our God be Avith us, 
as he was with our fathers : °- let him 
not leave us, nor forsake us : 

58 That he may ^ incline our hearts 
unto him, to walk in all his ways, and 
to keep his commandments, and his 
statutes, and his judgments, which 
he commanded our fathers. 

59 And let these my words where- 
with I have made supplication before 
the Lord, be nigh unto the Lord 
our God day and night, that he main- 
tain the cause of his servant, and the 
cause of his peopfe Israel f at all 
times, as the matter shall require : 

60 = That all the people of the earth 
may know that *■ the Lord is God, 
and that there is none else. 

61 I.,et your <^ heart therefore be per- 
fect with the Lord our God, to walk 
in his statutes, and to keep his com- 
mandments, as at this day. 

62 TI And ""the king, and all Israel 
with him, otfered sacrifice before 
the Lord. 

63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice 
of peace-offerings, w hich he offered 
unto the Lord, two and twenty thou- 
sand oxen, and a hundred and twen- 
ty thousand sheep. So the king and 
all the children of Israel dedicated 
the house of the Lord. 

64 eThc same day did the king hal- 
low the middle of tlie court that was 
before the house of the Lord : for 
there he offered burnt-oflerings, and 
meat-offerings, and the fat of the 
peace-offerings : because ''the brazen 
altar that was before the Lord was 
too little to receive the burnt-offer- 
ings, and meat-offerings, and the fat 
of the peace-offerings. 

65 And at that time Solomon held 
' a feast, and all Israel with him, a 
great congregation, from •'the enter- 
ing in of Hamath unto ' the river of 
Egypt, before the Lord our God, 
■"seven days and seven daySj even 
fourteen days.

upon other gods, and have worship- 
ped them, and served them : there- 
fore hath the Lord brought upon 
them all this evil. 

lOTIAnd ""it came to pass at the 
end of twenty years, when Solomon 
had built the two houses, the house 
of the Lord, and the king's house, 

11 ^{Now Hiram the king of Tyre 
had furnished Solomon with cedar- 
trees and fir-trees, and with gold, ac- 
cording to all his desire,) that then 
king Solomon gave Hiram twenty 
cities in the land of Galilee. 

12 And Hiram came out from Tyre 
to see the cities which Solomon had 
given him ; and they fpleased him not. 

13 And he said. What cities a7-e 
these which thou hast given me, my 
brother ? ' And he called them the 
land of II Cabul unto this day. 

14 And Hiram sent to the king 
sixscore talents of gold. 

15 "[[And this is the reason of "the 
levy which king Solomon raised ; for 
to build the house of the Lord, and 
his own house, and -^Millo, and the 
wall of Jerusalem, and yHazor, and 
^ Megiddo, and ^Gezer. 

16 Fo7^ Pharaoh king of Egypt had 
gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt 
it with fire, ''and slain the Canaanites 
that dwelt in the city,%nd given it 
for a present unto his daughter, So- 
lomon's wife. 

17 And Solomon built Gezer, and 
•^Beth-horon the nether, 

18 And '^Baalath, and Tadmor in 
the wilderness, in the land, 

19 And all the cities of store that 
Solomon had, and cities for '=his cha- 
riots, and cities for his horsemen, 
and f that which Solomon ^desired to 
build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, 
and in all the land of his dominion. 

20 s And all the people that were left 
of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, 
Hivites, and Jebusites, which were 
not of the children of Israel, 

21 Their children ^that were left 
after them in the land, 'whom the 
children of Israel also were not able 
utterly to destroy, "^upon those did 
Solomon levy a tribute of ^ bond- 
service unto this day. 

22 But of the children of Israel did 
Solomon '" make no bond-men : but 
they z^ere men of war, and his ser- 

382 



Tlie queen of Skeha*s 

vants, and his princes, and his cap- 
tains, and rulers of his chariots, and 
his horsemen. 

23 These were the chief of the of- 
ficers that were over Solomon's work, 
"five hundred and fifty, which baie 
rule over the people that wrought in 
the work. 

24 T[ But ° Pharaoh's daughter came 
up out of the city of David unto Pher 
house which ISolomon had built for 
her: qthen did he build Millo. 

25 T[ ■'And three times in a year did 
Solomon offer burnt-oft'erings and 
peace-oflerings upon the altar which 
he built unto the Lord, and he burnt 
incense f upon the altar that was be- 
fore the LoKu. So he finished the 
house. 

26 H x\nd ^king Solomon made a 
navy of ships in 'Ezion-gebcr, which 
is beside Eloth, on the f shore of the 
Red sea, in the land of Edom. 

27 "And Hiram sent in the navy 
his servants, shipmen that had know- 
ledge of the sea, with the servants of 
Solomon. 

28 And they came to J^Ophir, and 
fetched from thence gold, four hun- 
dred and twenty talents, and brought 
it to king Solomon,

a very great train, with camels that 
bare spices, and very much gold, and 
precious stones: and when she was 
come to Solomon, she comnmned 
with him of all that was in her heart. 

3 And Solomon told her all her 
f questions : there was not a?iy thing 
hid from the king, which he told he 
not.

his ascent by which he went up unto 
the house of the Lord ; there was 
no more spirit in her. 

6 And she said to the king. It was a 
true f report that I heard in mine own 
land of thy |1 acts and of thy wisdom. 

7 Howbeit, I believed not the words, 
until I came, and mine eyes had seen 
it: and behold, the half was not told 
me : f thy wisdom and prospei'ity ex- 
ceedeth the fame which I heard. 

8 <^ Happy are thy men, happy are 
these thy servants, which stand con- 
tinually before thee, and that hear 
thy wisdom. 

9 ^ Blessed be the Lord thy God, 
which delighted in thee, to set thee 
on the throne of Israel : because the 
Lord loved Israel for ever, therefore 
made he thee king, ^ to do judgment 
and Ju.stice. 

10 And she ?gave the king a hun- 
dred and twenty talents of gold, and 
of spices very great store, and pre- 
cious stones: there came no more 
such abundance of spices as these 
which the queen of Sheba gave to 
king Solomon. 

11 ''And the navy also of Hiram, 
that brougl it gold iroin Ophir, brought 
in from Ophir great plenty of || almug- 
trees, and precious stones. 

12 'And the king made of the al- 
mug-trees || f pillars for the house of 
the Lord, and for the king's house, 
harps also and psalteries for singers: 
there came no such '^alniug-trees, nor 
were seen unto this day. 

13 And king Solomon gave unto the 
queen of Sheba all her desire, whatso- 
ever she asked, besides that which So 
lomon gave her f of his royal bounty. 
So she turned and went to her own 
countr}', she and her sei-vants. 

14 T[ Now the weight of gold that 
came to Solomon in one year was six 
hundred threescore and six talents of 
gold, 

15 Besides tliat he had of the mer- 
chant-men, and of the traffick of the 
spice-merchants, and 'of all the kings 
of Arabia, and of the || governors of 
the countiy. 

16 TIAnd king Solomon made two 
hundred targets of beaten gold ; six 
hundred slickels of gold went to one 
target. 

17 And he made '"three hundred 

383 « 



Solomon's wealth and wisdom. 

shields of beaten gold ; three pounds 
of gold went to one shield : and the 
king put them in the "house of the 
forest of Lebanon. 

18 Ijo Moreover, the king made a 
great throne of ivory, and overlaid it 
with the best gold. 

19 The throne had six steps, and 
the top of the throne was round f be- 
hind : and there were f stays on either 
side on the place of the seat, and two 
lions stood beside the stays. 

20 And twelve hons stood there on 
the one side and on the other upon 
the six steps : there was not f the like 
made in any kingdom. 

21 TIP And all king Solomon's drink- 
ing vessels were of gold, and all the 
vessels of the house of the forest of 
Lebanon were of pure gold ; || none 
were ofsilver : it was nothing account- 
ed of in the days of Solomon. 

22 For the king had at sea a navy of 
•iTharshish with the navy of Hiram : 
once in three years came the navy of 
Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, 
II ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 

23 So '^ king Solomon exceeded all 
the kings of the earth for riches and 
for wisdom. 

24 *1I And all the earth f sought to 
Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which 
God had put in his heart. 

25 And they brought every man his 
present, vessels of silver, and vessels 
of gold, and garments, and armour, 
and spices, horses, and mules, a rate 
year by year. 

26 II s And Solomon 'gathered to- 
gether chariots, and horsemen : and 
he had a thousand and four hundred 
chariots, and twelve thousand horse- 
men, whom he bestowed in the cities 
for chariots, and with the king at 
Jerusalem. 

27 "And the king f made silver to 
be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars 
made he to he as the sycamore-trees 
that are in the vale, for abundance. 

28 1I"^f And Solomon had horses 
brought out of Egypt, and y linen 
yarn : the king's merchants received 
the linen yarn at a price. 

29 And a chariot came up and went 
out of Egypt for six hundred shekels 
of silver, and a horse for a hundred 
and fifty: ^and so for all the kings

CHAP. XL 

1 Solomon'' s wives and concubines. 4 In his old age 
they draw him to idolatry. 9 God threaleneth 
him. 14 Solomon's adversaries were Hadad,who 
was entertained in Egypt, 23 Rezon, who reign- 
ed in Damascus, 26 and Jeroboam, to whom Ahi- 
jah prophesied. 41 Solomon's acts, reign, and 
death : Rehoboam succeedeth him. 

BUT =>^king Solomon loved i^many 
strange women, || together with 
the daughter of Pharaoh, women of 
the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, 
Zidonians, and Hittites ; 

2 Of the nations concerning which 
the Lord said unto the children of 
Israel, <^ Ye shall not go in to them, 
neither shall they come in unto you : 
for surely they will turn away your 
heart after their gods: Solomon clave 
unto these in love. 

3 And he had seven hundred wives, 
princesses, and three hundred concu- 
bines: and his wives turned away his 
heart. 

4 For it came to pass, when Solo- 
mon was old, ^that his wives turned 
away his heart after other gods: and 
his «= heart was not perfect with the 
Lord his God, ^as was the heart of 
David his father. 

5 For Solomon went after &Ashto- 
reth the goddess of ^fe Zidonians, 
and after || Milcom thoHbomination 
of the Ammonites. 

6 And Solomon did evil in the sight 
of the Lord, and f went not fully af- 
ter the Lord, as did David his father. 

7 ^Then did Solomon build a high 
place for ' Chemosh, the abomination 
of Moab, in "^the hill that is before 
Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abo- 
mination of the children of Ammon. 

8 And likewise did he for all his 
strange wives, which burnt incense 
and sacrificed unto their gods. , 

9 TI And the Lord was angry with 
Solomon, because ' his heart was turn- 
ed from the Lord God of Israel, 
'"whichhadappeared untohim twice, 

10 And "had commanded him con- 
cerning this thing, that he should not 
go after other gods: but he kept not 
that which the Lord commanded. 

1 1 Wherefore the Lord said unto 
Solomon, Forasmuch as this fis done 
of thee, and thou hast not kept my 
covenant and my statutes which I 
have commanded thee, °I will surely

rend the kingdom from thee, and will 
give it to thy servant. 

12 Notwithstanding, in thy days I 
will not do it for David thy father's 
sake : lut I will rend it out of the 
hand of thy son. 

13 pHowbeit, I will not rend away 
all the kingdom ; hut will give lone 
tribe to thy son, for David my ser- 
vant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake 
■■ which I have chosen. 

14 TIAnd the Lord ^stirred up an 
adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the 
Edomite : he was of the king's seed 
in Edom. 

15 'For it came to pass, when Da- 
vid was in Edom, and Joab the cap- 
tain of the host was gone up to burj' 
the slain, "after he had smitten every 
male in Edom ; 

IG (For six months did Joab remain 
there with all Israel, until he had cut 
off every male in Edom :) 

17 That Hadad fled, he and certain 
Edomitesof his father's servants with 
him, to go into Eg)pt ; Hadad being 
yet a little child. 

18 And they arose out of Midian, 
and came to Paran : and they took 
men with them out of Paran, and; 
they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh 
king of Egypt ; which gave him a 
house, and^jj^ointed him victuals, 
and gave hi^Hand. 

19 And Hadad found great favour in 
the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave 
him to wife the sister of his own wife, 
the sister of Tahpenes the queen. 

20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare 
him Genubatii his son, whom Tahpe- 
nes weaned in Pharaoh's house : and 
Genubath was in Pharaoh's house- 
hold among the sons of Pharaoh. 

21 ''And when Hadad heard in 
Eg)-pt that David slept with his fa- 
thers, and that Joab the captain of 
the host was dead, Hadad said to 
Pharaoh, f Let me depart, that I may 
go to mine own country. 

22 Then Pharaoh said unto him, But 
what hast thou lacked with me, that, 
behold, thou seekest to go to thine 
own country ? And he answered, f No- 
thing; howbeit, let me go in anywise. 

23 TI And God stirred him up an- 
other adversary, Rezon the son of 
Eliadah, which fled from his lord 
J Hadadezer king of Zobah ;

Solomo7is adversaries. 

24 And he gathered men unto him, 
and became captain over a band, 
zwhen David slew them of Zobah: 
and they went to Daraascus,and dwelt 
therein, and reigned in Damascus. 

25 And he was an adversary to Israel 
all the days of Solomon, besides the 
mischief that Hadad did: and he ab- 
horred Israel, and reigned over Syria. 

26 ^And "Jeroboam the son of Ne- 
bat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solo- 
mon's servant, whose mother's name 
wasZeruah, a widowwoman,evenhe 
i^lifted up his hand against the king. 

27 And this ivas the cause that he 
lifted up /lis hand against the king : 
c Solomon buih Millo, ««f/ f repaired 
the breaches of the city of David his 
father. 

28 And the man Jeroboam was a 
mighty man of valour : and Solomon 
seeing the young man that he f was 
industrious, he made him ruler over all 
the t charge of the house of Joseph. 

29 And it came to pass at that time 
when Jeroboam went out of Jerusa- 
lem, that the prophet "^ Ahijah the Shi- 
lonite found him in the way; and he 
had clad himself with a new garment ; 
and they two icei-e alone in the field : 

30 And Ahijah caught the new gar- 
ment that was on him, and ''rent it 
in twelve pieces : 

31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take 
thee ten pieces : for 'thus saith the 
Lord, the God of Israel, Behold, I 
will rend the kingdom out of the hand 
of Solomon, and will give ten tribes 
to thee : 

32 (But he shall have one tribe for 
my servant David's sake, and for Je- 
rusalem's sake, the city which I have 
chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:) 

33 s Because that they have forsaken 
me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth 
the goddess of the Zidonians, Che- 
inosh the god of the Moabites, and 
Milcom the god of the children of 
Ammon, and have not walked in my 
ways, to do that which is right in mine 
eyes, and to keep my statutes and my 
judgments, as did David his father. 

34 Howbeit, I will not take the 
whole kingdom out of his hand : but 
I will make him prince all the days 
of his life for David my servant's 
sake, whom I chose, because he kept 
my commandments and my statutes ■ 

385 



Rehoboam succeedeth Solomon. 

35 But hi will take the kingdom 
out of his son's hand, and will give 
it unto thee, even ten tribes. 

36 And unto his son will I give one 
tribe, that 'David my servant may 
have a f light always before me in 
Jerusalem, the city which I have 
chosen me to put my name there. 

37 And I will take thee, and thou 
shalt reign according to all that thy 
soul desireth, and shalt be king over 
Israel. 

38 And it shall be, if thou wilt heark- 
en unto all that I command thee, and 
Avilt walk in my ways, and do that 
is right in my sight, to keep my sta- 
tutes and my commandments, as Da- 
vid my servant did ; that ^^I will be 
with thee, and 'build thee a sure 
house, as I built for David, and will 
give Israel unto thee. 

39 And I will for this afflict the seed 
of David, but not for ever. 

40 Solomon sought therefore to kill 
Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and 
fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king 
of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the 
death of Solomon. 

41 1 And ™the rest of the ||acts of 
Solomon, and all that he did, and his 
wisdom, are they not written in the 
book of the acts of Solomon ? 

42 "And the f time that Solomon 
reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel 
was forty years. 

43 o And Solomon slept with his fa- 
thers, and was buried in the city of 
David his father: and pRehoboam 
his son reigned in his stead.

Ten tribes revolt from him, 

4 Thy father made our ^yoke griev- 
ous : now therefore make thou the 
grievous service of thy father, and 
his heavy yoke which he put upon 
us, lighter, and we will serve thee. 

5 And he said unto them. Depart 
yet /or three days, then come again 
to me. And the people departed. 

6 ^And king Rehoboam consulted 
with the old men that stood before 
Solomon his father while he yet liv- 
ed, and said. How do ye advise that I 
may answer this people ? 

7 And they spake unto him, say- 
ing, <= If thou wilt be a servant unto 
this people this day, and wilt serve 
them, and answer them, and speak 
good words to them, then they will 
be thy servants for ever. 

8 But he forsook the counsel of the 
old men, which they had given him, 
and consulted with the young men 
that were grown up with him, and 
which stood before him : 

9 And he said unto them. What 
counsel give ye that we may answer 
this people, who have spoken to me, 
saying. Make the yoke which thy fa- 
ther did put upon us lighter ? 

10 And the young men that were 
grown up with him spake unto him, 
saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto 
this people that spake^to thee, say- 
ing. Thy father made our yoke heavy, 
but make thou it lighter unto us ; 
thus shalt thou say unto them. My 
little finger shall be thicker than my 
father's loins. 

1 1 And now whereas my father did 
lade you with a heavy yoke, I will 
add to your yoke : my father hath 
chastised you with whips, but I will 
chastise you with scorpions. 

12 Ti So Jeroboam and all the peo- 
ple came to Rehoboam the third day, 
as the king had appointed, saying, 
Come to me again the third day. 

13 And the king answered the peo- 
ple t roughly, and forsook the old 
men's counsel that they gave him ; 

14 And spake to them after the 
counsel of the young men, saying, 
My father made your yoke heavy, 
and I will add to your yoke : my fa- 
ther also chastised you with whips, 
but I will chastise you with scorpions. 

1 5 Wherefore the king hearkened 
not unto the people : for ^the causo 

380 



Jerohoam made king over Israel. 

was from the Lord, that he might 
perform his saying, which the Lord 
s/ spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto 
Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 

16 H So when all Israel saw that 
the king hearkened not unto them, 
the people answered the king, say- 
ing, *> What portion have we in Da- 
vid ? neither have we inheritance in 
the son of Jesse : to your tents, O 
Israel : now see to thine own house, 
David. So Israel departed unto their 
tents. 

17 But ' as for the children of Is- 
rael which dwelt in the cities of Ju- 
dah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 

18 Then king Rehoboam •'sent A- 
doram, who was over the tribute ; 
and all Israel stoned him with stones, 
that he died. Therefore king Reho- 
boam f made speed to get him up to 
his chariot, to fiee to Jerusalem. 

19 So 'Israel || rebelled against the! 
house of David unto this day. | 

20 And it came to pass when all 
Israel heard that Jeroboam was come 
again, that they sent and called him 
unto the congregation, and made him 
king over all Israel : there was none 
that followed the house of David, 
but the tribe of Judah '" only. 

21 If And when " Rehoboam was 
come to Jerusalem, he assembled all 
the house of Judah, with the tribe of 
Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore 
thousand chosen men, which were 
warriors, to fight against the house 
of Israel, to bring the kingdom again 
to Rehoboam the son of Solomon. 

22 But "the word of God came un- 
to Shemaiahthe man of God, saying, 

23 Speak unto Rehoboam the son 
of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto 
all the house of Judah and Benjamin, 
and to the remnant of the people, 
saying, 

24 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall 
not go up, nor fight against your bre- 
thren the children of Israel: return 
every man to his house ; P for this 
thing is from me. They hearkened 
therefore to the word of the Lord, 
and returned to depart, according to 
the word of the Lord. 

25 1 Then Jeroboam q built She- 
chem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt 
therein ; and went out from thence, 
and built ■■ Penuel.

26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, 
Now shall the kingdom return to the 
house of David. 

27 If this people ^ go up to do sacri- 
fice in the house of the Lord at Je- 
rusalem, then shall the heart of this 
people turn again unto their lord, even 
unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and 
they shall kill me, and go again to 
Rehoboam king of Judah. 

28 Whereupon the king took coun- 
sel, and t made two calves o/gold, and 
said unto them. It is too much for 
you to go up to Jerusalem: "behold 
thy gods, O Israel, which brought 
thee up out of the land of Egypt. 

29 And he set the one in ^ Beth-el, 
and the other put he in xDan. 

30 And this thing became ^ a sin : 
for the people went to worship before 
the one, even unto Dan. 

31 And he made a '^house of high 
places, *» and made priests of the low- 
est of the people, which were not of 
the sons of Levi. 

32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast 
in the eighth month, on the fifteenth 
day of the month, like unto <= the feast 
that is in Judah, and he || offered up- 
on the altar. So did he in Beth-el, 
II sacrificing unto the calves that he 
had made : "^ and he placed in Beth- 
el the priests of the high places 
which he had made. 

33 So he II offered upon the altar 
which he had made in Beth-el the 
fifteenth day of the eighth month, 
even in the month which he had <= de- 
vised of his own heart ; and ordain- 
ed a feast unto the children of Is-

AND behold, there "came a man

Jeroboam stood by the altar 1| to

the word of the Lord, and said, O al-

and upon thee shall he offer the 
priests of the high places that burn 
incense upon thee, and men's bones 
shall be burnt upon thee. 

3 And he gave '^ a sign the same 
day, saying. This is the sign vv^hich 
the Lord hath spoken ; Behold, the 
altar shall be rent, and the ashes that 
are upon it shall be poured out, 

4 And.it came to pass when king 
Jeroboam heard the saying of the 
man of God, which had cried against 
the altar in Beth-el, that he put forth 
his hand from the altar, saying. Lay 
hold on him. And his hand, which 
he put forth against him, dried up, 
so that he could not pull it in again 
to him. 

5 The altar also was rent, and the 
ashes poured out from the altar, ac- 
cording to the sign which the man 
of God had given by the word of the 
Lord. 

6 And the king answered and said 
unto the man of God, e Entreat now 
the face of the Lord thy God, and 
pray for me, that my hand may be 
restored me again. And the man of 
God besought f the Lord, and the 
king's hand was restored him again, 
and became as it was before. 

7 And the king said unto the man 
of God, Come home with me, and 
refresh thyself, and f I will give thee 
a reward. 

8 And the man of God said unto 
the king, s If thou wilt give me half 
thy house, I will not go in with 
thee, neither will I eat bread nor 
drink water in this place : 

9 For so was it charged me by the 
word of the Lord, saying, 'i Eat no 
bread, nor drink water, nor turn again 
by the same way that thou earnest. 

10 So he went another way, and re- 
turned not by the way that he came 
to Beth-el. 

1 1 °I[ Now there dwelt an old pro- 
phet in Beth-el ; and his f sons came 
and told him all the works that the 
man of God had done that day in 
Beth-el : the words which he had

told also to their father.

The disobedient prophet slain 

had seen what way the man of God 
went which came from Judah. 

13 And he said unto his sons, Sad- 
dle me the ass. So they saddled him 
the ass : and he rode thereon, 

14 And went after the man of God, 
and found him sitting under an oak : 
and he said unto him, Art thou the 
man of God that camest from Ju- 
dah 1 And he said, I am, 

15 Then he said unto him, Come 
home with me, and eat bread. 

16 And he said, 'I may not return 
with thee, nor go in with thee : nei- 
ther will I eat bread nor drink water 
with thee in this place: 

17 For fit was said to me i^by the 
word of the Lord, Thou shalt eat no 
bread nor drink water there, nor 
turn again to go by the way that 
thou camest. 

18 He said unto him, I am a pro- 
phet also as thou art ; and an angel 
spake unto me by the word of the 
Lord, saying. Bring him back with 
thee into thy house, that he may 
eat bread and drink water. But he 
lied unto him. 

19 So he went back Avith him, and 
did eat bread in his house and drank 
water. 

20 TI And it came to pass, as they 
sat at the table, that the word of the 
Lord came unto the prophet that 
brought him back: 

21 And he cried unto the man of 
God that came from Judah, saying. 
Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as 
thou hast disobeyed the mouth of 
the Lord, and hast not kept the 
commandment which the Lord thy 
God commanded thee, 

22 But camest back, and hast eaten 
bread and drunk water in the iplace, 
of the which the LORD did say to 
thee, Eat no bread, and drink no 
water ; thy carcass shall not come 
unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. 

23 T[ And it came to pass, after he 
had eaten bread, and after he had 
drunk, that he saddled for him the 
ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he 
had brought back. 

24 And when he was gone, "^ a lion 
met him by the way, and slew him : 
and his carcass was cast in the way, 
and the ass stood by it, the lion also 
stood by the carcass. 

388 



The old prophet hurieth him. 

25 And behold, men passed by, 
and saw the carcass cast in the way, 
and the Hon standing by the carcass: 
and they came and told it in the city 
where the old prophet dwelt. 

2G And when the prophet that 
brought him back from the way heard 
thereof, he said, It is the man of God, 
who was disobedient unto the word of 
the Lord : therefore the Lord hatli 
dehvered him unto the lion, which 
hath f torn him, and slain him, ac- 
cording to the word of the Lord, 
which he spake unto him. 

27 And he spake to his sons, say- 
ing. Saddle me the ass. And thej- 
saddled him. 

28 And he went and found his car- 
cass cast in the way, and the ass and 
the lion standing by the carcass : the 
lion had not eaten the carcass, nor 
f torn the ass. 

29 And the prophet took up the 
carcass of the man of God, and laid 
it upon the ass, and brought it back : 
and the old prophet came to the city, 
to mourn and to bury him. 

30 And he laid his carcass in his 
own grave ; and they mourned over 
him, saying, "Alas, my brother! 

31 And it came to pass, after he 
had buried him, that ho spake to his 
sons, saying, Wiicn I am dead, then 
bury me in the sepulchre wherein the 
man of God is buried ; " lay my bones 
beside his bones : 

32 PFor the saying which he cried 
by the word of tlie Lord against the 
altar in Beth-el, and against all the 
houses of the high places which arc 
in the cities of 'i Samaria, shall surely 
come to pass. 

33 Tff After this thing Jeroboam 
returned not from his evil way, but 
fmade again of the lowest of the 
people priests of the high places 
whosoever would, he f consecrated 
him, and he became o?ieof the priests 
of the high places. 

34 "And this thing became sin unto 
the house of Jeroboam, even Ho cut 
it off, and to destroy it from off the 
face of the earth.

Jeroboam's wife goeth to Ahijah, 

Rehoboam's tricked rei^n. 25 Shishak spoil~ 
eth Jerusalem. 29 Abijam succeedeih Reho., 
boam. 

T that time Abijah the son of 
Jeroboam fell sick. 

2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, 
Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thy- 
self, that thou be not known to be 
the wife of Jeroboam ; and get thee 
to Shiloh : behold, there is Ahijah 
the prophet, which told me that '^ I 
should be king over this people. 

3 '' And take f with thee ten loaves, 
and II cracknels, and a || cruse of ho- 
ney, and go to him: he shall tell thee 
what shall become of the child. 

4 And Jeroboam's wife did so, and 
arose, <^ and went to Shiloh, and came 
to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah 
could not see ; for his eyes f were set 
by reason of his age. 

5 TIAnd the Lord said unto Ahijah, 
Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh 
to ask a thing of thee for her son ; for 
he is sick : thus and thus shalt thou 
say unto her : for it shall be, when 
she cometh in, that she shall feign 
herself to be another woman. 

6 And it was so, when Ahijah heard 
the sound of her feet, as she came in 
at the door, that he said. Come in, 
thou wife of Jeroboam ; whyfeignest 
thou thyself to be another? for I am 
sent to thee with f heavy tidings. 

7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the 
Lord God of Israel, <^ Forasmuch as 
I exalted thee from among the peo- 
ple, and made thee prince over my 
people Israel, 

8 Anderent the kingdom away from 
the house of David, and gave it thee : 
and yet thou hast not been as my ser- 
vant David, '"who kept my command- 
ments, and who followed me with all 
his heart, to do that only which was 
right in mine eyes ; 

y But hast done evil above all that 
were before thee : t'forthou hast gone 
and made thee other gods, and mol- 
ten images, to provoke me to anger, 
and ''hast cast me behind thy back : 

10 Therefore behold, >I will bring 
evil upon thehouse of Jeroboam, and 
•^will cut off from Jeroboam him that 
pisseth against the wall, ^a7id him 
that is shut up and left in Israel, and 
will take away the remnant of the 
house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh 
away dung, till it be all gone.

12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to

out or come in to Asa king ot" Jud^i. 

18 Then Asa took all the silver and 
the gold that luere left in the trea- 
sures of the house of the Lord, and 
the treasures ofthe king's house, and 
delivered them into the hand of his 
servants : and king Asa sent them to 
^Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon, 
the son of Hezion, king of SjTia, 
that dwelt at 7 Damascus, saying, 

19 There is a league between me 
and thee, anc? between my father and 
thy father: behold, I have sent unto 
thee a present of silver and gold ; 
come and break thy league with 
Baasha king of Israel, that he may 
f depart from nie, 

20 So Ben-hadad hearkened unto 
king Asa, and sent the captains ofthe 
hosts which he had against the cities 
of Israel, and smote ^Ijon, and ^Dan, 
and^Abel-beth-maachah,andallCin- 
neroth, with all the land of Naphtali. 

2 1 And it came to pass, when Baasha 
heard thereof, that he left off build- 
ing of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah. 

22 "^Then king Asa made a procla- 
mation throughout all Judah ; none 
was f exempted : and they took away 
the stones of Ramah, and the timber 
thereof, wherewith Baasha had build- 
ed ; and king Asa built with them 
''Geba of Benjamin, and "^Mizpah. 

23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, 
and all his might, and all that he did, 
and the cities which he built, are 
they not written in the book of the

Nevertheless Hn the time of his old 
age he was diseased in his feet. 

24 And Asa slept with his fathers, 
and was buried with his fathers in 
the city of David his father: ?and 
i" Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his

21 ^^ And Baasha the son of Ahi- 
jah, of the house of Issachar, con- 
spired against him ; and Baasha 
smote him at 'Gibbethon, which he-

longed to the Philistines; for Nadab 
and all Israel laid siege toGibbethon. 

28 Even in the third year of Asa 
king of Judah did Baasha slay him, 
and reigned in his stead. 

29 And it came to pass, when he 
reigned, that he smote all the house 
of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam 
any that breathed, until he had de- 
sti'oyed him, according unto "> the say- 
ing of the Lord, which he spake by 
his servant Ahijah the Shilonite : 

30 ^ Because of the sins of Jero- 
boam which he sinned, and which he 
made Israel sin, by his provocation 
wherewith he provoked the Lord 
God of Israel to anger. 

31 II Now the rest of the acts of 
Nadab, and all that he did, are they 
not written in the book of the Chroni-

32 ° And there was war between Asa 
and Baasha king of Israel all their 
days. 

33 In the third year of Asa king of 
Judah began Baasha the son of Ahi- 
jah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, 
twenty and four years.

Zimri slayeth Elah. 

5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, 
and what he did, and his might, Sare 
they not written in the book of the 
Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 

6 So Baasha slept with his fathers, 
and was buried in ^ Tirzah: and Elah 
his son reigned in his stead. 

7 And also by the hand of the pro- 
phet iJehu the son of Hanani came 
the word of the Lord against Baasha, 
and against his house, even for all 
the evil that he did in the sight of 
the Lord, in provoking him to anger 
with the work of his hands, in being 
Hke the house of Jeroabam ; and 
because "^he killed him. 

8 TI In the twenty and sixth year of 
Asa king of Judah began Elah the 
son of Baasha to reign over Israel 
in Tirzah, two years. 

9 'And his servant Zimri, captain 
of half /«s chariots, conspired against 
him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking 
himself drunk in the house of Arza, 
f steward of his house in Tirzah. 

10 And Zimri went in and smote 
him, and killed him, in the twenty 
and seventh year of Asa king of Ju- 
dah, and reigned in his stead. 

1 1 II And it came to pass, when he 
began to reign, as soon as he sat on 
his throne, that he slew all the house 
of Baasha : he left him ™not one that 
pisseth against a wall, j| neither of 
his kinsfolks, nor of his friends. 

12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the 
house of Baasha, "according to the 
word of the Lord, which he spake a- 
gainstBaasha t° byJehu the prophet, 

13 For all the sins of Baasha, and 
the sins of Elah his son, by which 
they sinned, and by which they made 
Israel to sin, in provoking the Lord 
God of Israel to anger P with their 
vanities. 

14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, 
and all that he did, are they not 
written in the book of the Chronicles 
of the kings of Israel ? 

15 IT In the twenty and seventh year 
of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign 
seven days in Tirzah. And the people 
were encamped i against Gibbethon, 
which belonged to the Philistines. 

16 And the people that were en-

wherefore all Israel made Omri, the

Zimri burneth himself. CHAP. X^^I. 

captain of the host, king over Israel 
that day in the camp. 

17 And Omri went up from Gib- 
bethon, and all Israel with him, and 
they besieged Tirzah. 

18 And it came to pass, when Zimri 
saw that the city was taken, that he 
went into the palace of the king's 
house, and burnt the king's house 
over him with fire, and died, 

19 For his sins which he sinned in 
doing evil in the sight of the Lord, 
"^in walking in the way of Jeroboam, 
and in his sin wliich he did, to make 
Israel to sin. 

20 Xowthe restof the acts of Zimri, 
and his treason that he wrought, are 
they not written in the book of the 
Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 

21 TThen were the people of Israel 
divided into two parts : half of the 
people followed Tibni the son of Gi- 
nath, to make him king; and half 
followed Omri. 

22 But the people that followed Om- 
ri prevailed against the people that 
followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so 
Tibni died, and Omri reigned. 

23 11 In the thirty and first year of 
Asa king of Judsih began Omri to 
reign over Israel, twelve years : six 
years reigned he in Tirzah. 

24 And he bought the hill Samaria 
of Shemer for two talents of silver, 
and built on the hill, and called the 
name of the city which he built, after 
the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, 
t 'i Samaria. t Heb 

25 1 But tOmri wrought evil in the fsS^ii 
eyes of the Lord, and did worse than 2 King, 1: 
all that uere before him. io'hn4.4. 

26 For he "walked in all the way 'a«^w. 
of Jeroboam the son of Xebat, and 
in his sin wherewith he made Israel 
to sin, to provoke the Lord God of! 
Israel to anger with their ^vanities, i ver.is. 

27 Now the rest of the acts of Ormi 
which he did, and his might that he 
shewed, are they not written in the 
book of the Chronicles of the kings 
of Israel ? 

28 So Omri slept with his fathers, 
and was buried in Samaria : and Ahab 
his son reigned in his stead. 

29 T -Vnd in the thirty and eighth sis. 
year of Asa king of Judah began 
Ahab the son of Omri to reign over 
Israel : and Ahab the son of Omri

reigned over Israel in Samaria twen-

30 And Ahab the son of Omri did 
evil in the sight of the Lord above 
all that were before him. 

31 And it came to pass, t as if it 
had been a light thing for him to walk 
in the sins of Jeroboam the son of 
Xebat, .^that he took to wife Jezebel 
the daughter of Ethbaal king of the 
^Zidonians, ^and went and served 
Baal, and worsliipped him. 

32 And he reared up an altar for 
Baal in ''the house of Baal, which he 
had built in Samaria. 

33 <=And Ahab made a grove : and 
Ahab i^ did more to provoke the Lord 
God of Israel to anger than all the 
kings of Israel that were before him. 

34 T^In his days did Hiel the Beth- 
elite build Jericho: he laid the foun- 
dation thereof in Abiram his first- 

jborn, and set up the gates thereof in 
his vounorest son Se^b. ^accordino^ 
to the word of the Lord, which he 
spake bv Joshua the son of Xun.

1 Elijah, haein^ prophesied asairuit Ahab, is seat 
io Cheriik, tchere the rarens feed him. 3 He is 
sent to the iridotr of ZarephaOx. 17 He raiseth 
the widtnc't ton. 24 The icoman heliereih him. 

AND t Ehjah the Tishbite, xcho 
was of the inhabitants of Gi- 
lead, said unto Ahab, =^.-15 the Lord 
God of Israel liveth. ''before whom 
I stand, "^ there shall not be dew nor 
rain ^ these years, but according to 
my word. 

; 2 And the word of the Lord came 
junto him, saj-ing, 

i 3 Get thee hence, and turn thee east- 
jward, and hide thyself by the brook 
Cherith, that is before Jordan. 

4 And it shall be, that thou shalt 
drink of the brook : and I have com- 
manded the ravens to feed thee there. 

5 So he went and did according un- 
to the word of the Lord : for he went 
and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that 
is before Jordan. 

6 And the ravens brought him bread 
and flesh in the morning, and bread 
and flesh in the evening ; and he 
drank of the brook. 

7 And it came to pass f after a while, 
that the brook dried up, because there 
had been no rain in the land. 

8 T And the word of the Ix)rd came 
unto him, saving,

Elijah sent to Zarephath. 

i 9 Arise, get thee to <= Zarephath, 
which helongeth to Zidon, and dwell 
there : behold, I have commanded a 
widow woman there to sustain thee. 

10 So he arose and went to Zare- 
phath. And when he came to the 
gate of the city, behold, the widow 
woman li-'fls there gathering of sticks: 
and he called to her, and said. Fetch 
me, I pray thee, a little water in a 
vessel, that I may drink. 

1 1 And as she was going to fetch 
it, he called to her, and said, Bring 
me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in 
thy hand. 

12 And she said, As the Lord thy 
God liveth, I have not a cake, but a 
handful of meal in a barrel, and a lit- 
tle oil in a cruse : and behold, I am 
gathering two sticks, that I may go 
in and dress it for me and my son, 
that we may eat it, and die. 

13 And Ehjah said unto her, Fear 
not ; go and do as thou hast said : 
but make me thereof a little cake 
first, and bring it unto me, and after 
make for thee and for thy son. 

14 For thus saith the Loud God of 
Israel, The barrel of meal shall not 
waste, neither shall the cruse of oil 
fail, until the day that the Lord 
•j- sendeth rain upon the earth. 

15 And she went and did according 
to the saying of Elijah : and she, and 
he, and her house, did eat || many 
days. 

16 And the barrel of meal wasted 
not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, 
according to the word of the Lord, 
which he spake fby Elijah. 

17 If And it came to pass after these 
things, that the son of the woman, 
the mistress of the house, fell sick ; 
and his sickness was so sore, that 
there was no breath left in him. 

18 And she said unto Elijah, fWhat 
have I to do with thee, O thou man 
of God? art thou come unto me to 
call my sin to remembrance, and to 
slay my son ? 

19 And he said unto her. Give me 
thy son. And he took him out of 
her bosom, and carried him up into 
a loft, where he abode, and laid him 
upon his own bed. 

20 And he cried unto the Lord, 
and said, O Lord my God, hast thou 
also brought evil upon the widow

1 In the extremity of famine Elijah, sent to Ahab, 
meeteth good Obadiah. 9 Obadiah bringetk 
Ahab to Elijah. 17 Elijah, reproving Ahab, by 
fire from heaven convinceth BaaVs prophets. 41 
Elijah, by prayer obtaining rain, followeih 
Ahab toJezreel. 

ND it came to pass after a many 
days, that the word of the Lord 
came to Elijah in the third year, say- 
ing, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and 
•^I will send rain upon the earth. 

2 And Elijah went to shew himself 
unto Ahab. And there was a sore 
famine in Samaria. 

3 And Ahab called f Obadiah, which 
was f the governor of Ms house. 
(Now Obadiah feared the Lord 
greatly : 

4 For it was 50, when f Jezebel cut 
off' the prophets of the Lord, that 
Obadiah took a hundred prophets, 
and hid them by fifty in a cave, and 
fed them with bread and water.) 

5 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go 
into the land unto all fountains of 
water, and unto all brooks : perad- 
venture we may find grass to save 
the horses and mules alive, f that we 
lose not all the beasts. 

6 So they divided the land between 
them to pass throughout it : Ahab 
went one way by himself, and Oba- 
diah went another way by himself. 

7 H And as Obadiah was in the way, 
behold, Elijah met him : and he knew 
him, and fell on his face, and said, 
Art thou that my lord Elijah? 

8 And he answered him, I am : go, 
tell thy lord. Behold, Elijah is here. 

9 And he said, What have I sinned,

Elijah meeteih Ohadiah 

that thou wouldest deliver thy ser- 
vant into the hand of Aiiab, to slay 
me .' 

10 J.S the Lord thy God liveth, 
there is no nation or kingdom whi- 
ther my lord hath not sent to seek 
thee : and when they said, He is not 
there ; he took an oath of the king- 
dom and nation, that they found thee 
not. 

1 1 And now thou sayest, Go, tell 
thy lord, Behold, Elijah 25 here. 

12 -^d it shall come to pass, as 
soon as I am gone from thee, that 
<=the Spirit of the Lord shall carr}' c^aKinsis. 
thee whither I know not; and so tit. 3. 12, 
when I come and tell Ahab, and he ^'?"-^-^- 
cannot find thee, he shall slay me : 
but I thy senant fear the Lord from 
my youth. 

13 Was it not told my lord what I 
did when Jezebel slew the prophets 
of the Lord, how I hid a hundred 
rnen of the Lord's prophets by fifty 
in a cave, and fed them with bread 
and water? 

14 And now thou sayest. Go, tell 
thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here ; and 
he shall slay me. 

15 And Elijah said, As the Lord 
of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, 
I will surely shew myself unto him 
to-day. 

10 So Obadiah went to meet A- 
hab, and told him : and Ahab went 
to meet Elijah. 

17 TI And it came to pass when 
Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said un- 
to him, ^ Art thou he that « trouble th 
Israel ? 

18 And he answered, I have not 
troubled Israel ; but thou, and thy 
father's house, ^in that ye have for- ' [^ chro">- 
saken the commandments of the 
Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim. 

19 Now therefore send, and gather 
to me all Israel unto mount ?Car- 
mel, and the prophets of Baal four 
hundred and fifty, i^and the prophets hcb.ifl.33. 
of the groves four hundred, which 
eat at Jezebel's table. 

20 So Ahab sent unto all the chil- 
dren of Israel, and ' gathered ihe pro- 
phets together unto mount Carrael.

22 Then said Elijah unto the peo- 
ple, ™I, even I only, remain a pro- 
phet of the Lord ; " but Baal's pro- 
phets are four hundred and fifty men. 

23 Let them therefore give us two 
bullocks ; and let them choose one 
bullock for themselves, and cut it in 
pieces, and lay it on wood, and put 
no fire under : and I will dress the 
other bullock, and lay it on wood, 
and put no fire under : 

24 And call ye on the name of your 
gods, and I will call on the name of 
the Lord : and the God that ° an- 
swereth by fire, let him be God. 
And all the people answered and 
said, jit is well spoken. 

25 And Elijali said unto the pro- 
phets of Baal, Choose you one bul- 
lock for yourselves, and dress 2^ first; 
for ye ere many; and call on the name 
of your gods, but put no fire under. 

26 And they took the bullock wliich 
was given them, and they dressed it, 
and called on the name of Baal from 

I morning even until noon, saying, O 
I Baal, II hear us. But there was v no 
voice, nor any that j| answered. And 
they li leaped upon the altar wliich 
was made. 

I 27 And it came to pass at noon, that 
lEIijtih mocked them, and said, Cr>' 
t aloud : for he is a god : either || he 
is talking, or he f is pursuing, or he 
is in a journey, or peradventure he 
sleepeth, and must be awaked. 

28 And they cried aloud, and i cut 
themselves after their manner with 
knives and lancets, till j the blood 
gushed out upon them. 

29 And it came to pass, when mid- 
day was past, ' and they prophesied 
until the time of the f olTering of the 
evening sacrifice, that there was * nei- 
ther voice, nor any to answer, nor 
any f that regarded. 

30 And Elijah said unto all the 
people, Come near unto me. And 
all the people came near unto him. 
^And he repaired the altar of the 
Lord that was broken down. 

31 And Elijah took twelve stones, 
according to the number of the tribes 
of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the 
word of the Lord came, saying, '^Is- 
irael shall be thy name: 

395 



BaaFs prophets are slain. 

32 And with the stones he built an 
altar ^ in the name of the Lord : and 
he made a trench about the altar, as 
great as would contain two mea- 
sures of seed. 

33 And he yput the wood in order, 
and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid 
him, on the wood, and said, Fill four 
barrels with water, and ^pour it on 
the burnt-sacrifice, and on the wood. 

34 And he said, Do it the second 
time. And they did it the second 
time. And he said. Do it the third 
time. And they did it the third time. 

35 And the water f ran round about 
the altar; and he filled ^^the trench 
also with water. 

36 And it came to pass at the time of 
the offering of the evening sacrifice, 
that Elijah the prophet came near 
and said. Lord '' God of Abraham, 
Isaac, and of Israel, ^^let it be known 
this day that thou art God in Israel, 
and that I am thy servant, and that 
•■I have done all these things at thy 
word. 

37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that 
this people may know that thou art 
the Lord God, and that thou hast 
turned their heart back again. 

38 Then ^ the fire of the Lord fell, 
and consumed the burnt-sacrifice, 
and the wood, and the stones, and 
the dust, and licked up the water 
that was in the trench. 

39 And when all the people saw it, 
they fell on their faces : and they 
said, fThe Lord, he is the God ; the 
Lord, he is the God. 

40 And Elijah said unto them, 
II g Take the prophets of Baal; let 
not one of them escape. And they 
took them : and Elijah brought them 
down to the brook Kishon, and ii slew 
them there. 

41 in And Elijah said unto Ahab, 
Get thee up, eat and drink ; for there 
is II a sound of abundance of rain. 

42 So Ahab went up to eat and to 
drink. And EhjaJi went up to the 
top of Carmel ; ' and he cast himself 
down upon the earth, and put his 
face betvi^een his knees, 

43 And said to his servant. Go up 
now, look toward the sea. And he 
went up, and looked, and said. There 
is nothing. And he said,

1 Elijah, threatened by Jezebel, jleeth to Beer- 
sheba. 4 hi the wilderness, being weary of his 
life, he is comforted by an angel. 9 At Horeb 
God appenreth unto him, sending him to anoint 
Hazael, Jehu, and Elisha. 19 Elisha, talcing 
leave of his friends, followeth Elijah. 

ND Ahab told Jezebel all that 
Elijah had done, and withal how 

he had a slain all the prophets with 

the sword. 

2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger 
unto Elijah, saying, ^ So let the gods 
do to me, and more also, if I make 
not thy life as the life of one of them 
by to-morrow about this time. 

3 And when he saw that, he arose, 
and went for his life, and came to 
Beer-sheba, which bclongeth to Ju- 
dah, and left his servant there. 

4 ^ But he himself went a day's 
journey into the wilderness, and came 
and sat down under a juniper-tree : 
and he ^ requested ffor himself that 
he might die : and said. It is enough ; 
now, O Lord, take away my life ; 
for I am not better than my fathers. 

5 And as he lay and slept under a 
juniper-tree, behold, then an angel 
touched him, and said unto him, 
Arise and eat. 

6 And he looked, and beholdj there 
was a cake baken on the coals, and 
a cruse of water at his f head : and 
he did eat and drink, and laid him 
down again. 

7 And the angel of the Lord came 
again the second time, and touched 
him, and said. Arise and eat, because 
the journey is too great for thee. 

8 And he arose, and did eat and 
drink, and went in the strength of 
that meat d forty days and forty nights 
unto e Horeb the mount of God.

God appcareth to him in Horeh. 

9 TAnd he came thither unto a 
cave, and lodged there : and behold, 
the word of the Lord came to him, 
and he said unto him, What doest 
thou here, Elijah .' 

10 And he said, ^I have been ver}' 
? jealous for the Lord God of hosts : 
for the children of Israel have forsa- 
ken thy covenant, thrown down thine 
altars, and '"slain thy prophets with 
the sword ; and ' I, eren I only, am left ; 
and they seek my life, to take it away. 

1 1 And he said. Go forth, and stand 
■tupon the mount before the Lord. 
And behold, the Lord passed by,| 
and 'a great and strong wind rent 
the mountains, and brake in pieces 
the rocks before the Lord; but the 
Lord u-as not in the wind: and after 
the wind an earthquake; but the 
Lord was not in the earthquake : 

12 And after the earthquake a fire; 
hut the Lord was not in the fire : and 
after the fire a still small voice. 

13 And itwas so, when Elijah heard 
it. that "he wrapped his face in his 
mantle, and went out, and stood in 
the entering in of the cave. "And 
behold, there came a voice unto liim, 
and said, VThaX doest thou here, 
Elijah ? 

14 °And he said, I have been very 
jealous for the Lord God of hosts : 
because the children of Israel have 
forsaken thy covenant, thrown down 
thine altars, and slain thy prophets 
with the sword ; and I, even I only, 
am left ; and they seek my life, to 
take it away. 

15 And the Lord said unto him. 
Go, return on thy way to the wilder- 
ness of Damascus : Pand when thou 
comest, anoint Hazael to he king 
over Syria : 

16 And qjehu the son of Ximshi 
shall thou anoint to he king over Is- 
rael : and "^ Elishathe son of Shaphat 
of Abel-meholEih shall thou anoint 
to he prophet in thy room. 

17 And sit shall come to pass, that 
him that escapeth the sword of Ha- 
zael shall Jehu slay: and him that es- 
capeth from the sword of Jehu ' shall 
Elisha slay. 

18 "Yet II I have left m.e seven thou- 
sand in Israel, all the knees which 
have not bowed unto Baal, ^ and ever)'

Ben-hadad besiegeth Samaria. 

19 "^So he departed thence, and 
found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who 
icas ploughing with twelve yoke of 
oxen before him. and he with the 
twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, 
and cast his mantle upon him. 

20 And he left the oxen, and ran 
after Elijah, and said, ^Let me, I pray 
thee, kiss my father and my mother, 
and then I \\\\\ follow thee. Ar,d he 
said unto him, f Go back again : for 
what have I done to thee I 

21 And he returned back from him, 
and took a yoke of oxen, and slew 
them, and ^boiled their flesh with the 
instruments of the oxen, and gave un- 
to the people, and they did eat. Then 
he arose, and went after Elijah, and 
ministered unto him.

1 Ben-hadad, not content tritJt AhaVx homag'e, be- 
tieeeth Samaria. 13 Jiy i)ie direclion of a pro- 
phet, Ote Syrians are slain. 22 As tlie prophet 
foretcarnxd Ahab, the Syrians, trustini^ in llie 
valleys, come against him in Aphek. 2S By 
the word of the prophet^ and God's jud^meiU^ 
the Syrians are smitten a^ain. 31 TTie Syrians 
submitting tfiemselees, Ahab semieth Bcn-hadaa 
airay icilh a covenant. 3o The prophet, under 
the parable o/a prisoner, maJcins; Ahab tojud^e 
himself,denouiiceth God/ s judgment ag-ainst him. 

AND Ben-hadad the king of Syria 
gathered all his host together : 
and thei-e were thirty and two kings 
with him, and horses, and chariots : 
and he went up and besieged Sama- 
ria, and warred against it. 

2 And he sent messengers to Ahab 
king of Israel into the city, and said 
unto him. Thus saith Ben-hadad, 

3 Thy silver and thy gold is mine ; 
thy wives also and thy children, even 
the goodliest, are mine. 

4 And the king of Israel answered 
and said. My lord. O king, according 
to thy saying, I am thine, and all that 
I have. 

5 And the messengers came again, 
and said. Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, 
saying. Although I have sent unto 
thee, saying. Thou shall deliver me 
thy silver, and thy gold, and thy 
wives, and thy children ; 

6 Yet I will send my servants unto 
thee to-morrow about this time, and 
they shall search thy house, and the 
houses of thy servants ; and it shall 
be, that whatsoever is f pleasant in 
thine eyes, they shall put it in their 
hand, and take it away. 

7 Then the king of Israel called all 

397 



By aprophefs direction 

the elders of the land, and said, Mark, 
I prayyou,andsee how this Twanseek- 
eth mischief: for he sent unto me for 
my wives, and for my children, and 
for my silver, and for my gold, and 
■fl denied him not. 

8 And all the elders and all the 
people said unto him. Hearken not 
unto hi?n, nor consent. 

9 Wherefore he said unto the mes- 
sengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord 
the king, All that thou didst send for 
to thy servant at the first, I will do : 
but this thing I may not do. And 
the messengers departed, and brought 
him word again. 

10 And Ben-hadad sent unto him, 
and said, =^The gods do so unto me, 
and more also, if the dust of Samaria 
shall suffice for handfuls for all the 
people that | follow me. 

1 1 And the king of Israel answered 
and said, Tell him, Let not him that 
girdeth on his harness boast himself 
as he that putteth it off. 

12 And it came to pass, when Ben- 
hadad heard this f message as he 
was '^drinking, he and the kings in 
the 11 pavilions, that he said unto his 
servants, || Set yourselves in array. 
And they set themselves in array 
against the city. 

13 IT And behold, there f came a 
prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, 
saying. Thus saith the Lord, Hast 
thou seen all this great multitude ? 
behold, cl will deliver it into thy 
hand this day ; and thou shalt know 
that I am the Lord. 

14 And Ahab said, By whom? And 
he said. Thus saith the Lord, Even 
by the || young men of the princes of 
tiie provinces. Then he said, Who 
shall t order the battle 1 And he an- 
swered, Thou. 

15 Then he numbered the young 
men of the princes of the provinces, 
and they were two hundred and thir- 
ty two: and after them he numbered 
all the people, even all the children 
of Israel, being seven thousand. 

16 And they went out at noon. 
But Ben-hadad was ''drinking him- 
self drunk in the pavilions, he and 
the kings, the thirty and two kings 
that helped him. 

1 7 And the young men of the princes 
of the provinces went out first ; and

Ben-hadad sent out, and they told 
him, saying, There are men come 
out of Samaria. 

18 And he said, Whether they be 
come out for peace, take them alive ; 
or whether they be come out for war, 
take them alive. 

19 So these young men of the 
princes of the provinces came out 
of the city, and the army which fol- 
lowed them. 

20 And they slew every one his 
man : and the Syrians fled ; and Is- 
rael pursued them : and Ben-hadad 
the king of Syria escaped on a 
horse with the horsemen. 

21 And the king of Israel went out, 
and smote the horses and chariots, 
and slew the Syrians with a great 
slaughter. 

22 H And the prophet came to the 
king of Israel, and said unto him, 
Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, 
and see what thou doest: ^for at the 
return of the year the king of Syria 
will come up against thee. 

23 And the servants of the king of 
Syria said unto him, Their gods are 
gods of the hills ; therefore they were 
stronger than we ; but let us fight 
against them in the plain, and surely 
we shall be stronger than they. 

24 And do this thing. Take the kings 
away, every man out of his place, and 
put captains in their rooms : 

25 And number thee an army, hke 
the army fthat thou hast lost, horse 
for horse, and chariot for chariot: 
and we will fight against them in the 
plain, «?i(Z surely we shall be stronger 
than they. And he hearkened unto 
their voice, and did so. 

26 And it came to pass at the re- 
turn of the year, that Ben-hadad 
numbered the Syrians, and went up 
to f Aphek, f to fight against Israel. 

27 And the children of Israel were 
numbered, and || were all present, and 
went against them: and the children 
of Israel pitched before them like two 
little flocks of kids ; but the Syrians 
filled the country. 

28 Tl And there came a man of 
God, and spake unto the king of Is- 
rael, and said, Thus saith the Lord, 
Because the Syrians have said, The 
Lord is God of the hills, but he is 
not God of the valleys, therefore ffwill 

398 



They sue submissively to Ahab. 
I deliver all this great multitude into 
thy hand, and ye shall know that 1 
am the Loud. 

29 And they pitched one over a- 
gainst the other seven days. And 
so it was, that in the seventh day the 
battle was joined : and the children 
of Israel slew of the Syrians a hun- 
dred thousand footmen in one day. 

30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into 
the city ; and there a wall fell upon 
twenty and seven thousand of the 
men that were left. And Ben-hadad 
fled, and came into the city, || f into 
an inner chamber. 

31 *1I And his servants said unto him, 
Behold now, we have heard that the 
kings of the house of Israel are mer- 
ciful kings: let us, I pray thee, •> put 
sackcloth on our loins, and ropes 
upon our heads, and go out to the 
king of Israel: peradventure he will 
save thy life. 

32 So they girded sackcloth on their 
loins, and put ropes on their heads, 
and came to the king of Israel, and 
said, Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, I 
pray thee, let me live. And he said, 
Is he yet alive ? he is my brother. 

33 Now the men did diligently ob- 
sei-\'e whether any thing would come 
from him, and did hastily catch it: 
and they said. Thy brother Ben-ha- 
dad. Then he said, Go ye, bring 
him. Then Ben-hadad came forth 
to him ; and he caused him to come 
up into the chariot. 

34 And Ben-hadad said unto him, 
'The cities, which my father took 
from thy father, I will restore ; and 
thou shalt make streets for thee in 
Damascus, as my father made in Sa- 
maria. Then said Aliah, I will send 
thee away with this covenant. So 
he made a covenant with him, and 
sent him away. 

35 11 And a certain man of l^the 
sons of the prophets said unto his 
neighbour ' in the w ord of the Lord, 
Smite me, I pray thee. And the 
man refused to smite him. 

36 Then said he unto him. Because 
thou hast not obeyed the voice of the 
Lord, behold, as soon as thou art de- 
parted from me, a lion shall slay thee. 
And as soon as he was departed from 
him, ""alion found him, and slew him. 

37 Then he found another man,

And the man smote him, f so that 
in smiting he wounded him. 

38 So the prophet departed, and 
waited for the king by the way, and 
disguised himself with ashes upon 
his face. 

39 And " as the king passed by, he 
cried unto the king : and he said, 
Thy servant went out into the midst 
of the battle ; and behold, a man 
turned aside, and brought a man un- 
to me, and said. Keep this man : if 
by any means he be missing, then 

shall thy life be for his life, or else 
thou shalt f pay a talent of silver. 

40 And as thy servant was busy 
here and there, f he was gone. And 
the king of Israel said unto him. So 
shall thy judgment be ; thyself hast 
decided it. 

41 And he hasted, and took the 
ashes away from his face ; and the 
king of Israel discerned him that he 
was of the prophets. 

42 And he said unto him. Thus saith 
the Lord, p Because thou hast let go 
out of thy hand a man whom I ap- 
pointed to utter destruction, there- 
fore thy life shall go for his life, and 
thy people for his people. 

43 And the king of Israel 1 went to 
his house heavy and displeased, and 
came to Samaria.

AND it came to pass after these 
things, that Naboth the Jezreel-

of Samaria. 

2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth,

and I will give thee for it a better 
vineyard than it ; or if it f seem

3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The

4 And Ahab came into his house

5 "lIBut Jezebel his wife came to 
him, and said unto him, Why is thy 
spirit so sad, that thou eatest no 
bread ? 

6 And he said unto her, Because I 
spake unto Xaboth the Jezreelite, and 
said unto him, Give me thy vineyard 
for money ; or else, if it please thee, 
I will give thee anotJier vineyard for 
it: and he answered, I will not give 
thee my vineyard. 

7 And Jezebel his wife said unto 
him. Dost thou now govern the king- 
dom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, 
and let thy heart be merrj- : I will 
give thee the vineyard of Naboth the 
Jezreelite. 

8 So she v.Tote letters in Ahab's

and sent the letters unto the elders 
and to the nobles that were in his 
city, dwelling with Naboth. 

9 And she wrote in the letters, say-

Jezebel had sent unto them, and

16 And it came to pass, when A-

that Ahab rose up to go down to the 
vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to 
take possession of it.

king of Israel, ''which is in Samaria : 
behold, he is in the vineyard of Na-

'In the place where dogs licked the 
blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy 
blood, even thine. 

20 And Ahab said to Elijah, ^Hast

cause hhou hast sold thyself to work

liveth,'"what the Lord saith unto me, 
that will I speak. 

15 TI So he came to the king. And 
the king said unto him, Micaiah, 
shall we go against Ramoth-gilead 
to battle, or shall we forbear '! And 
he answered him. Go, and prosper: 
for the Lord shall deliver it into the 
hand of the king. 

10 And the kingsaid unto him, How 
many times shall I adjure thee that 
thou tell me nothing but tliat which 
is true in the name of the Lord ? 

17 And he said, I saw all Israel 
escattered upon the hills, as sheep 
that have not a shepherd : and the 
Lord said. These have no master ; 
let them return every man to his 
house in peace. 

18 And the king of Israel said unto 
Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that 
he would prophesy no good concern- 
ing me, but evil ? 

19 And he said, Hear thou therefore 
the word of the Lord: ''I saw the 
Lord sitting on his throne, 'and all 
the host of heaven standing by him 
on his right hand and on his lett. 

20 And the Lord said. Who shall 
II persuade Ahab, that he may go up 
and fall at Ramoth-gilead ? And one 
said on this manner, and another said 
on that manner.

21 And there came forth a spirit, 
and stood before the Lord, and said, 
1 wi/1 persuade him, 

22 And the Lord said unto him, 
Wherewith ? And he said, I will go 
forth, and I will be a lying spirit in 
the mouth of all his prophets. And 
he said, '^Thou shalt persuade him, 
and prevail also : go forth, and do so. 

23 ^Now therefore, behold, the 
Lord hath put a lying spirit in the 
mouth of all these thy prophets, and 
the Lord hath spoken evil concern- 
ing thee. 

24 But Zedekiah the son of Che- 
naanahwent near, and smote Micaiah 
on the cheek, and said, ™ Which way 
went the Spirit of the Lord from me 
to speak unto thee ? 

25 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou 
shalt see in that day, when thou shalt 
go II into f an inner chamber to hide 
thyself 

26 And the king of Israel said. Take 
Micaiah, and carry him back unto 
Amon the governor of the city, and 
to Joash the king's son ; 

27 And say. Thus saith the king. 
Put this fellow in the prison, and 
feed him with bread of affliction, and 
with water of affliction, until I come 
in peace. 

28 And Micaiah said. If thou return 
at all in peace, "the Lord hath not 
spoken by me. And he said. Heark- 
en, O people, every one of you. 

29 So the king of Israel and Jeho- 
shaphat the king of Judah went up 
to Ramoth-gilead. 

30 And the king of Israel said unto 
Jehoshaphat, || I will disguise myself, 
and enter into the battle ; but put 
thou on thy robes. And the king of 
Israel « disguised himself, and went 
into the battle. 

31 But the king of Syria command- 
ed his thirty and two captains that 
had rule over his chariots, saying. 
Fight neither with small nor great, 
save only with the king of Israel. 

32 And it came to pass, when the 
captains of the chariots saw Jeho- 
shaphat, that they said. Surely it is 
the king of Israel. And they turned 
aside to fight against him : and Je- 
hoshaphat P cried out. 

33 And it came to pass, when the 
captains ofthe chariots perceived that

34 And a certain man drew a bow

Israel between the f joints of the 
harness : wherefore he said unto the 
driver of his chariot. Turn thy 
hand, and carry me out of the host ;

died at even : and the blood ran out 
of the wound into the f midst of the 
chariot. 

36 And there went a proclamation 
throughout the host about the going 
down of the sun, saying, Every man 
to his city and every man to his own 
country. 

37 TISo the king died, and f was

and Ahaziah his son reigned in his 
stead. 

41 1[And 8 Jehoshaphat the son of 
Asa began to reign over Judah in the 
fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. 

42 Jehoshaphat was thirty and five 
years old when he began to reign ; 
and he reigned twenty and five years 
in Jerusalem. And his mother's 
name was Azubah the daughter of 
Shilhi. 

43 And the walked in all the way

8 And lliey answered him. He was 
^ a haiiy man, and girt with a girdle

said, It /s Elijah the Tishbite. 

9 Then the king sent unto him a 
captain of fifty with his fifty. And 
he went up to him : and behold, he 
sat on the top of a hill. And he 
spake unto him. Thou man of God, 
the king hath said. Come down.

the captain of fifty, If I fee a man of 
God, then " let fire come down from

O man of God, thus hath the king 
said, Come down quickly. 

12 And Elijah answered and said 
unto them. If I ie a man of God,

consume thee and thy fifty. And the

14 Behold, there came fire down 
from heaven, and burnt up the two 
captains of the former fifties with 
their fifties : therefore let ray life 
now be precious in thy sight. 

15 And the angel of the Lord said 
unto Elijah, Go down with him : be 
not afraid of him. And he arose, and 
v/ent down with him unto the king.

the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast sent

there is no God in Israel to inquire 
of his word?) therefore thou shalt not

As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul

came to Jericho. 

5 And the sons of the prophets that 
were at Jericho came to Elisha, and 
said unto him, Knowest thou that the 
Lord will take away thy master from 
thy head to-day ? And he answered, 
Yea, I know it ; hold ye your peace. 

6 And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, 
I pray thee, here ; for the Lord hath 
sent me to Jordan. And he said. As 
the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liv-

two went on. 

7 And fifty men of the sons of the 
prophets went, and stood fto view afar 
off: and they two stood by Jordan. 

8 And Elijah took his mantle, and 
wrapped it together, and smote the 
waters, and ^they were dividedhither 
and thither, so that they two went 
over on dry ground. 

9 'H And it came to pass, when they 
were gone over, that Elijah said unto 
Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, 
before I be taken away from thee. 
And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a 
double portion of thy spirit be upon 
me. 

10 And he said, f Thou hast asked 
a hard thing : nevertheless, if thou 
see me when lam taken from thee, it 
shall be so unto thee ; but if not, it 
shall not be so. 

1 1 And it came to pass, as they stii. 
went on, and talked, that behold, 
there appeared sa. chariot of fire, and

cried, 'My father, my father, the cha- 
riot of Israel, and the horsemen there- 
of ! And he saw him no more : and 
he took hold of his own clothes, and 
rent them in two pieces. 

13 He took up also the mantle of 
Elijah that fell from him, and went 
back, and stood by the f bank of 
Jordan ; 

14 And he took the mantle of Eli- 
jah that fell from him, and smote

15 And when the sons of the pro-

saw him, they said, The spirit of

came to meet him, and bowed them-

16 ■[[ And they said unto him, Be- 
hold now, there be with thy servants

pray thee, and seek thy master : "' lest 
perad venture the Spirit of the Lord 
hath taken him up, and cast him up-

17 And when they urged him till he 
was ashamed, he said, Send. They 
sent therefore fifty men : and they 
sought three days, but found him not. 

18 And when they came again to 
him, (for he tarried at Jericlio.) he 
said unto them. Did I not say unto 
you. Go not ? 

1 9 K And the men of the city said 
unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the 
situation of this city is pleasant, as 
my lord seeth : but the water is 
naught, and the ground f barren. 

20 And he said. Bring me a new 
cruse, and put salt therein. And they 
brought it to him. 

21 And he went forth unto the 
spring of the waters, and "cast the 
salt in there, and said. Thus saith the 
Lord, I have healed tliese waters; 
there shall not be from thence any 
more death or barren Ia7id. 

22 So the waters were healed unto 
this day, according to the saying of 
Elisha which he spake. 

23 II And he went up from thence 
unto Beth-el : and as he was going up 
by the way, there came forth little 
children out of the city, and mocked 
him, and said unto him. Go up, thou 
bald-head ; go up, thou bald-head. 

24 And he turned back, and looked 
on them, and cursed them in the name 
of the Lord. And there came forth 
two she-bears out of the wood, and

Moab, by sacrificing the king of Edam's son, 
raiseih the siege. 

NOW '^ Jehoram the son of Ahab 
began to reign over Israel in 
Samai'ia inthe eighteenth year of Je- 
hoshaphat king of Judah, and reign- 
ed twelve years. 

2 And he wrought evil in the sight 
of the Lord; but not like his father, 
and hke his mother : for he put 
away the f image of Baal ^ that his 
father had made. 

3 Neverthelessjhe cleaved unto = the 
sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, 
which made Israel to sin ; he depart- 
ed not therefrom. 

4 H And jNIesha king of Moab was 
a sheep-master, and rendered unto 
the king of Israel a hundred thou- 
sand "• lambs, and a hundred thou- 
sand rams, with the wool. 

5 But it came to pass, when "^ Ahab 
was dead, that the king of Moab re- 
belled against the king of Israel. 

6 TI And king Jehoram went out of 
Samaria the same time, and number- 
ed all Israel. 

7 And he went and sent to Jeho- 
shaphat the king of Judah, saying. 
The king of Moab hath rebelled 
against me : w ilt thou go with me 
against Moab to battle ? And he said, 
I will go up : '"I am as thou ait, my 
people as thy people, aiid my horses 
as thy horses. 

8 And he said, AVliich way shall we 
go up ? And he answered. The way 
through the w ilderness of Edom. 

9 So the king of Israel went, and 
the king of Judah, and the king of 
Edom : and they fetched a compass 
of seven days' journey : and there 
was no water for the host, and for 
the cattle f that followed them. 

10 And the king of Israel said, Alas, 
that the Lord hath called these 
three kings together, to deliver them 
into the hand of Moab ! 

11 But gJehoshaphat said. Is there 
not here a prophet of the Lord, that 
we may inquire of the Lord by him ? 
And one of the king of Israel's ser- 
vants answered and said. Here is E- 
lishathe son of Shaphat which pour- 
ed water on the hands of Elijah. 

12 And Jehoshaphat said. The word 
of the Lord is with him. So the 
king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and

the king of Edom •'went down to 

him. 

13 And Elisha said unto the king of 
Israel, 'T^Hiat have I to do with thee ? 
•-■get thee to 'the prophets of thy fa- 
ther, and to the prophets of thy mo- 
ther. And the king of Israel said 
unto him, Nay : for the Lord hath 
called these three kings together, to 
deliver them into the hand of Moab. 

14 And Elisha said, ^As the Lord 
of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, 
surely, were it not that I regard the 
presence of Jehoshaphat the king of 
Judah, I would not look toward thee, 
nor see thee. 

15 But now bring me °a minstrel. 
And it came to pass, when the min- 
strel played, that °the hand of the 
Lord came upon him. 

16 And he said. Thus saiththe Lord, 
pMake this valley full of ditches. 

17 For thus saith the Lord, Ye 
shall not see wind, neither shall ye 
see rain ; yet that valle}' shall be filled 
with water, that ye may drink, both 
ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. 

18 And this is hut a light thing in 
the sight of the Lord : he will de- 
liver the Moabites also into your 
hand. 

19 And ye shall smite every fenced 
city, and every choice city, and shall 
fell every good tree, and stop all 
wells of water, and f mar everj' 
good piece of land with stones. 

20 And it came to pass in the morn- 
ing, when qthe meat-oftering was 
oifered, that behold, there came 
water by the way of Edom, and the 
country was filled with water. 

21 TI And when all the Moabites 
heard that the kings were come up 
to fight against them, they f gathered 
all that were able to f put on armour, 
and upward, and stood in the bor- 
der. 

22 And they rose up early in the 
morning, and the sun shone upon the 
water, and the Moabites saw the wa- 
ter on the other side as red as blood : 

23 And they said, This is blood; 
the kings are surely f slain, and they 
have smitten one another : now 
therefore, Moab, to the spoil. 

24 And when they came to the camp 
of Israel, the Israelites rose up and 
smote the Moabites, so that they fled

smiting the Moabites, even in their 
country. 

25 And they beat down the cities, 
and on every good piece of land cast 
ever}' man his stone, and filled it; 
and they stopped all the wells of wa- 
ter, and felled all the good trees : 
f only in ^'Kir-haraseth left they the 
stones thereof; howbeit the shngers 
went about it, and smote it. 

26 1 And when the king of Moab 
saw that the battle was too sore 
for him, he took with him seven hmi- 
dred men that drew swords, to break 
through even unto the king of Edom : 
but they could not. 

27 Then ''he took his eldest son, 
that should have reigned in his stead, 
and offered him for a burnt-offering 
upon the wall. And there was great 
indignation against Israel : "^ And they 
departed from him, and returned to 
their own land. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 Elisha mttltiplieih ihe widow^s oil. 8 He giveOi 
a son to ihe good Shunammitf. 18 He raiseth 
again her dead son. 38 At Gilgal lie healeth 
the deadly pottage. 42 He satisjieth a hun- 
dred men with twenty loaves. 

NOW there cried a certain wo- 
man of the wives of ^the sons 
of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, 
Thy sei'\"ant my husband is dead; 
and thou knowest that thy servant 
did fear the Lord : and the creditor 
is come ''to take unto him my two 
sons to be bond-men. 

2 And Elisha said unto her, What 
shall I do for thee? tell me, what 
hast thou in the house ? And she 
said, Thy handmaid hath not any 
thing in the house save a pot of oil. 

3 Then he said. Go, borrow thee 
vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, 
even empty vessels ; ^ || borrow not 
a few. 

4 And when thou art come in, thou 
shalt shut the door upon thee and 
upon thy sons, and shalt pour out 
into all those vessels, and thou shalt 
set aside that which is full. 

5 So she went from him, and shut 
the door upon her and upon her sons, 
who brought the vessels to her ; and 
she poured out. 

6 And it came to pass, when the 
vessels were full, that she said unto 
her son. Brine me vet a vessel. And 

406 



The Shunammite's son 

he said unto her, There is not a ves- 
sel more. And the oil stayed. 

7 Then she came and told the man 
of God. And he said, Go, sell the 
oil, and pay thy ||debt, and live thou 
and thy children of the rest. 

8 IF And t it fell on a day, that Eli- 
sha passed to '^ Shunem, where was 
a great woman ; and she f constrain- 
ed him to eat bread. And so it was, 
that as oft as he passed by, he turned 
in thither to eat bread. 

9 And she said unto her husband. 
Behold now, I perceive that this is 
a holy man of God, which passeth 
by us continually. 

10 Let us make a little chamber, I 
pray thee, on the wall; and let us 
set for him there a bed, and a table, 
and a stool, and a candlestick : and 
it shall be, when he cometh to us, 
that he shall turn in thhher. 

11 And it fell on a day, that he 
came thither, and he turned into the 
chamber, and lay there. 

12 And he said to Gehazi his ser 
vant. Call this Shunammite. And 
when he had called her, she stood 
before him. 

13 And he said unto him, Say now 
unto her. Behold, thou hast been 
careful for us with all this care ; what 
is to be done for thee ? wouldest thou 
be spoken for to the king, or to the 
captainof the host? And she answer- 
ed, I dwell among mine own people. 

14 And he said. What then is to be 
done for her ? And Gehazi answer- 
ed, Verily she hath no child, and her 
husband is old. 

15 And he said. Call her. And 
when he had called her, she stood 
in the door. 

16 And he said, « About this f sea- 
son, according to the time of life, 
thou shalt embrace a son. And she 
said. Nay, my lord, thou man of God, 
'^do not lie unto thy handmaid. 

17 And the woman conceived, and 
bare a son at that season that Elisha 
had said unto her, according to the 
time of life. 

18 *II And when the child was grown, 
it fell on a day, that he went out to 
his father to the reapers. 

19 And he said unto his father, My 
head, my head. And he said to a lad, 
Carry him to his mother.

raised to life by Elisha. 

20 And when he had taken him, 
and brought him to his mother, he 
sat on her knees till noon, and then 
died. 

21 And she went up, and laid him 
on the bed of the man of God, and 
shut the door upon him, and went 
out. 

22 And she called unto her hus- 
band, and said. Send me, I pray thee, 
one of the young men, and one of 
the asses, that I may run to the man 
of God, and come again. 

23 And he said. Wherefore wilt thou 
go to him to-day ? it is neither new- 
moon, nor sabbath. And she said, 
It shall be f well. 

24 Then she saddled an ass, and 
said to her servant. Drive, and go 
forward ; f slack not thy riding for 
me, except I bid thee. 

25 So she went and came unto the 
man of God sto mount Carmel. And 
it came to pass, when the man of 
God saw her afar off, that he said to 
Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder 
is that Shunammite : 

26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet 
her, and say unto her. Is it well with 
thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is 
it well with the child ? And she an- 
swered. It is well. 

27 And when she came to the man 
of God to the hill, she caught | him 
by the feet: but Gehazi came near 
to thrust her away. And the man 
of God said. Let her alone ; for her 
soul is f vexed within her: and the 
Lord hath hid it from me, and hath 
not told me. 

28 Then she said. Did I desire a 
son of my lord ? '' did I not say, Do 
not deceive me ? 

29 Then he said to Gehazi, 'Gird 
up thy loins, and take my staff in thy 
hand, and go thy way : if thou meet 
any man, ^ salute him not ; and if 
any salute thee, answer him not 
again : and ' lay my staff upon the 
face of the child 

30 And the mother of the child said, 
'"As the Lord liveth, and as thy 
soul liveth, I will not leave thee. 
And he arose, and followed her. 

31 And Gehazi passed on before 
them, and laid the staff upon the face 
of the child ; but there was neither 
voice, nor f hearing. Wherefore he

went again to meet him, and told him, 
saying. The child is " not awaked. 

32 And when Elisha was come in- 
to the house, behold, the child was 
dead, and laid upon his bed. 

33 He ovvent in therefore, and shut 
'the door upon them twain, Pand pray- 
ed unto the Lord. 

34 And he went up, and lay upon 
the child, and put his mouth upon his 
mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, 
and his hands upon his hands : and 
4 he stretched himself upon the child ; 
and the flesh ofthe child waxed warm. 

35 Then he returned, and walked in 
the house f to and fro ; and went up, 
''and stretched himself upon him: 
and ^the child sneezed seven times, 
and the child opened his eyes. 

36 And he called Gehazi, and said, 
Call this Shunammite. So he called 
her. And when she was come in 
unto him, he said, Take up thy son. 

37 Then she went in, and fell at his 
feet, and bowed herselfto the ground, 
and t took up her son, and went out. 

38 II And Elisha came again to 
"Gilgal. And there was a ^dearth in 
the land ; and the sons of the pro- 
phets were y sitting before him : and 
he said unto his servant, Set on the 
great pot, and seethe pottage for the 
sons of the prophets. 

39 And one went out into the field 
to gather herbs, and found a wild 
vine, and gathered thereof wild 
gourds his lap full, and came and 
shred them into the pot of pottage : 
for they knew them not. 

40 So they poured out for the men 
to eat. And it came to pass, as they 
were eating of the pottage, that they 
cried out, and said, O thou man of 
God, there is ^death in the pot. And 
they could not eat thereof. 

41 But he said, Then bring meal. 
And a he cast it into the pot ; and 
he said. Pour out for the people, 
that they may eat. And there was 
no f harm in the pot. 

42 T[ And thei-e came a man from 
^Baal-shalisha, <=and brought the man 
of God bread of the first-fruits, 
twenty loaves of barley, and full 
ears of corn || in the husk thereof 
And he said. Give unto the people, 
that they may eat.

I Naaman, hy the report of a captive maid, is se/ii 
to Sntnaria Id be cured of liis leprosy . 8 Elisha, 
send i II ;^ him /o Jordan, cureth kim. 15 He re- 
fusing Nunman's gifts grantethhim some of the 
earth. 20 Gehazi, abusing his master^s name 
unto Naaman, is smitten w ilh leprosy . 

NOW ^ Naaman, captain of the 
host of the king of Syria, was 
''a great man fwith his master, and 

II -j- honourable, because by him the 
Lord had given |] deliverance unto 
Syria : he was also a mighty man in 
valour, hut he was a leper. 

2 And the Syrians had gone out 
by companies, and had brought away 
captive out of the land of Israel a lit- 
tle maid; and she f waited on Naa- 
man's wife. 

3 And she said unto her mistress, 
Would God my lord were f with the 
prophet that is in Samaria ! for he 
would f recover him of his leprosy. 

4 And one went in, and told his 
lord, saying. Thus and thus said the 
maid that is of the land of Israel. 

5 And the king of Syria said, Go to, 
go, and I will send a letter unto the 
king of Israel. And he departed, and 
<=took f with him ten talents of silver, 
and six thousand joi'eces of gold, and 
ten changes of raiment. 

6 And he brought the letter to the 
king of Israel, saying. Now when 
this letter is come unto thee, behold, 
I have therewith sent Naaman my 
servant to thee, that thou mayest 
recover him of his leprosy. 

7 And it came to pass, when the 
king of Israel had read the letter, that 
he rent his clothes, and said, J.m I 
^ God, to kill and to make alive, that 
this man doth send unto me to reco- 
ver a man of his leprosy ? Wherefore 
consider, I pray you, and see how he 
seeketh a quarrel against me. 

8 TI And it was so, when Elisha the 
man of God had heard that the king 
of Israel had rent his clothes, that he 
sent to the king, saying. Wherefore 
hast thou rent thy clothes? let him 

408 



He IS cured of Ids leprosy. 

come now to me, and he shall know 
that there is a prophet in Israel. 

9 So Naaman came with his horses 
and with his chariot, and stood at the 
door of the house of Elisha. 

10 And Elisha sent a messenger 
unto him, saying. Go and <=wash in 
Jordan seven times, and thy flesh 
shall come again to thee, and thou 
shalt be clean. 

1 1 But Naaman was wroth, and went 
away, and said. Behold, f ||I thought, 
He will surely come out to me, and 
stand, and call on the name of the 
Lord his God, and f strike his hand 
over the place, and recover the leper. 

12 Are not ||Abana and Pharpar, 
rivers of Damascus, better than all 
the waters of Israel ? may I not wash 
in them, and be clean? So he turned 
and went away in a rage. 

13 And his servants came near, and 
spake unto him, and said. My father, 
if the prophet had bid thee do some 
great thing, wouldest thou not have 
Aoneit ? how much rather then, when 
he saith to thee. Wash, and be clean? 

14 Then went he down, and dipped 
himself seven times in Jordan, ac- 
cording to the saying of the man of 
God : and 'his flesh came again like 
unto the flesh of a little child, and 
^he was clean. 

ISTfAnd he returned to the man 
of God, he and all his company, and 
came and stood before him : and he 
said, Behold, now I know that there 
is hno God in all the earth, but in 
Israel : now therefore, I pray thee, 
take 'a blessihg of thy servant. 

16 But he said, ^As the Lord liv 
eth, before whon. I stand, 'I will re 
ceive none. And he urged him to 
take it ; but he refused. 

17 And Naaman said. Shall there 
not then, I pray thee, be given to thy 
servant two mules' burden of earth? 
for thy servant will henceforth offer 
neither burnt-ofiering nor sacrifice 
unto other gods, but unto the Lord. 

18 In this thing the Lord pardon 
thy servant, that when my master go- 
eth into the house of Rimmon to wor- 
ship there, and '"he leaneth on my 
hand, and I bow myself in the house 
of Rimmon : when I bow down myself 
in the house of Rimmon, the Lord 
pardon thy servant in this thing.

Gehazi is smitten with leprosy. 

19 And he said unto him, Go in 
peace. So he departed from him +a 
little way. 

20 TfBut Gehazi, the servant of 
Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, 
my master hath spared Naaman this 
Syrian, in not receiving at his hands 
that which he brought : but as the 
Lord liveth, I will run after him, 
and take somewhat of him. 

21 So Gehazi followed after Naa- 
man. And when Naaman saw him 
running after him, he lighted down 
from the chariot to meet him, and 
said, f Is all well ? 

22 And he said. All is well. My 
master hath sent me, saying. Behold, 
even now there be come to me from 
mount Ephraim two young men of 
the sons of the prophets : give them, 
I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two 
changes of garments. 

23 And Naaman said. Be content, 
take two talents. And he urged him, 
and bound two talents of silver in two 
bags, with two changes of garments, 
and laid tliem upon two of his ser- 
vants ; and they bare tJiem before him. 

24 And when he came to the || tower, 
he took tliem from their hand, and be- 
stowed them in the house : and he let 
the men go, and they departed. 

25 But he went in, and stood before 
his master : and Elisha said unto 
him. Whence comest thou, Gehazi ? 
And he said, Thy servant went f no 
whither. 

26 And he said unto him, W^ent not 
my heart with thee, when the man 
turned again from his chariot to meet 
thee ? Is it a time to receive money, 
and to receive garments, and olive- 
yards, and vineyards, and sheep, and 
oxen, and men-servants, and maid- 
servants ? 

27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman 
"shall cleave unto thee and unto thy 
seed for ever. And he went out from 
hispresence°aleper as white as snow.

Elisha causelh iron to swim, 

the place where we dwell with thee 
is too strait for us. 

2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto 
Jordan, and take thence every man 
a beam, and let us make us a place 
there, where we may dwell. And he 
answered. Go ye. 

3 And one said, Be content, I pray 
thee, and go with thy servants. And 
he answered, I will go. 

4 So he went with them. And when 
they came to Jordan, they cut down 
wood. 

5 But as one was felling a beam, the 
■]- axe-head fell into the water: and he 
cried, and said, Alas, master ! for it 
was bori'owed. 

6 And the man of God said. Where 
fell it? And he shewed him the place. 
And ''he cut down a stick, and cast it 
in thither; and the iron did swim. 

7 Therefore said he, Take it up to 
thee. And he put out his hand, and 
took it. 

8 TIThen the king of Syria warred 
against Israel, and took counsel with 
his servants, saying. In such and such 
a place shall be my || camp. 

9 And the man of God sent unto 
the king of Israel, saying, Beware 
that thou pass not such a place ; for 
thither the Syrians are come down. 

10 And the king of Israel sent to 
the place which the man of God told 
him and warned him of, and saved 
himself there, not once nor twice. 
•11 Therefore the heart of the king 
of Syria was sore troubled for this 
thing; and he called his servants, and 
said unto them. Will ye not shew me 
which of us is for the king of Israel? 

12 And one of his servants said, 
fNone, my lord, O king: but Elisha, 
the prophet that is in Israel, telleth

he is, that I may send and fetch him. 
And it was told him, saying. Behold, 
he is in '^Dothan. 

14 Therefore sent he thither horses, 
and chariots, and a f great host: and 
they came by night, and compassed 
the city about. 

15 And when the || servant of the 
man of God was risen early, and gone 
forth, behold, a host compassed the 
city both with horses and chariots.

A great famine in Samaria. 

And his servant said unto him, Alas, 
my master ! how shall we do ? 

16 And he answered. Fear not: for 
d they that be with us are more than 
they that be with them. 

17 And Elisha prayed, and said. 
Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that 
he may see. And the Lord opened 
the eyes of the young man ; and he 
saw : and behold, the mountain was 
full of e horses and chariots of fire 
round about Elisha. 

18 And when they came down to 
him, Elisha prayed unto the Lord, 
and said, Smite this people, I pray 
thee, with blindness. And ^he smote 
them with blindness, according to the 
word of Elisha. 

19 If And Ehsha said unto them, 
This is not the way, neither is this 
the city : f follow me, and I will bring 
you to the man whom ye seek. But 
he led them to Samaria. 

20 And it came to pass, when they 
were come into Samaria, that Elisha 
said. Lord, open the eyes of these 
men, that they may see. And the 
Lord opened their eyes, and they 
saw; and behold, they were in the 
midst of Samaria. • 

21 And the king of Israel said un- 
to Elisha, when he saw them. My 
father, shall I smite them? shall I 
smite them? 

22 And he answered. Thou shalt 
not smite them : wouldest thou smite 
those whom thou hast taken captive 
with thy sword and with thy bow ? 
ffset bread and water before them, 
that they may eat and drink, and go 
to their master. 

23 And he prepared great provision 
for them : and when they had eaten 
and drunk, he sent them away, and 
they went to their master. So *'the 
bands of Syria came no more into 
the land of Israel. 

24 T[ And it came to pass after this, 
that Ben-hadad king of Syria gather- 
ed all his host, and went up, and be- 
sieged Samaria. 

25 And there was a great famine in 
Samaria : and behold, they besieged 
it, until an ass's head was sold for 
fourscore pieces of silver, and the 
fourth part of a cab of dove's dung 
for five pieces of silver.

Elisha! s prophecy verified. 

12 11 And the king arose in the 
night, and said unto his servants, I 
will now shew you what the Syrians 
have done to us. They know that 
we he hungry ; therefore are they 
gone out of the camp, to hide them 
selves in the field, saying. When they 
come out of the city, we shall catch 
them alive, and get into the city. 

13 And one ofhis servants answered 
and said. Let some take, I pray thee, 
five of the horses that remain, which 
are left f in the city, (behold, they 
are as all the multitude of Israel that 
are left in it : behold, I say, they are 
even as all the multitude of the Is- 
raelites that are consumed:) and let 
us send and see. 

14 They took therefore two chariot 
horses ; and the king sent after the host 
of the Syrians, saying. Go and see. 

15 And they went after them unto 
Jordan : and lo, all the way was full 
of garments and vessels, which the 
Syrians had cast away in their haste. 
And the messengers returned, and 
told the king. 

16 And the people went out, and 
spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So 
a measure of fine flour was sold for a 
shekel, and two measures of barley 
for a shekel, h according to the word 
of the Lord. 

17 "U And the king appointed the 
lord on whose hand he leaned to have 
the charge of the gate : and the peo- 
ple trode upon him in the gate, and 
he died, 'as the man of God had said, 
who spake when the kingcame down 
to him. 

18 And it came to pass as the man 
of God had spoken to the king, say- 
ing, ^ Two measures of barley for a 
shekel, and a measure of fine flour for 
a shekel, shall be to-morrow about 
this time in the gate of Samaria : 

19 And that lord answered the man 
of God, and said. Now, behold, if the 
Lord should make windows in hea- 
ven, might such a thing be? And he 
said. Behold, thou shalt see it with 
thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. 

20 And so it fell out unto him: for 
the people trode upon him in the 
gate, and he died.

II. KINGS. The Shunarnmiteh land restored. 

ilie king. 7 Hazael, being sent with a present 
by Ben-hadad to E/isha at Damascus, after he 
had heard the prophecy, killeth his master, and 
succccdeth him. 16 J ehoram's wicked reign in 
Judah. 20 Edom and Libnah revolt. 23 Aha- 
ziah succeedeth Jehoram. 25 Ahaziah's wicked 
reign. 28 He visiteth Jehoram wounded, at 
Jezreel. 

HEN spake Elisha unto the wo- 
man, =1 whose son he had re- 
stored to life, saying, Arise, and go 
thou and thy household, and sojourn 
wheresoever thou canst sojourn : for 
the Lord ^hath called for a famine ; 
and it shall also come upon the land 
seven years. 

2 And the woman arose, and did 
after the saying of the man of God : 
and she went with her household, and 
sojourned in the land of the Phihs- 
tines seven years. 

3 And it came to pass at the seven 
years' end, that the woman returned 
out of the land of the Philistines: and 
she went forth to cry unto the king 
for her house, and for her land. 

4 And the king talked with <= Ge- 
hazi the servant of the man of God, 
saying. Tell me, I pray thee, all the 
great things that Elisha hath done. 

5 And it came to pass, as he was 
telling the king how he had ^^ restor- 
ed a dead body to life, that behold, 
the woman, whose son he had re- 
stored to life, cried to the king for 
her house and for her land. And 
Gehazi said. My lord, O king, this 
is the woman, and this is her son, 
whom Elisha restored to life. 

6 And when the king asked the wo- 
man, she told him. So the king ap- 
pointed unto her a certain || ofiicer, 
saying, Restore all that was hers, and 
all the fruits of the field since the day 
that she left the land, even until now. 

7 *II And Elisha came to Damas- 
cus : and Ben-hadad the king of Sy- 
ria was sick; and it was told him, say- 
ing. The man of God is come hither. 

8 And the king said unto "^ Hazael, 
f Take a present in thy hand, and 
go, meet the man of God, and s in- 
quire of the Lord by him, saying. 
Shall I recover of this disease? 

9 So Hazael went to meet him, 
and took a present f with him, even 
of every good thing of Damascus, 
forty camels' burden, and came and 
stood before him, and said. Thy son 
Ben-hadad king of Syria hath sent

me to thee, saying, Shall I recover

10 And Elisha said unto him, Go, 
sav unto him, Thou mayest certain- 
ly recover : howbeit, the Lord hath 
shewed me, that ^ he shall surely die. 

11 And he settled his countenance 
J steadfastly, until he was ashamed : 
and the man of God 'wept. 

12 And Hazael said. Why weepeth 
my lord ? And he answered. Because 
I know ^ the evil that thou wilt do un- 
to the children of Israel : their strong 
holds wilt thou set on fire, and their 
young men wilt thou slay with the 
sword, and Uvih dash their children, 
and rip up their women with child. 

13 And Hazael said, But what! '"/s 
thy ser%ant a dog, that he should do 
this great thing '. And Elisha an- 
swered, "The Lord hath shewed me 
that thou s/ialt be king over Syria. 

14 So he departed from Elisha, and 
came to his master; who said to him, 
What said Elisha to thee '. And he 
answered, He told me that thou 
shouldest surely recover. 

15 And it came to pass on the mor- 
row, that he took a thick cloth, and 
dipped it in water, and spread it on 
his face, so that he died: and Hazael 
reigned in his stead. 

16 H And in the fifth year of Joram 
the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jeho- 
shaphat beinsc then king of Judah, 
"Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat 
king of Judah f began to reign. 

17 P Thirty and two years old was 
he when he began to reign : and he 
reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 

18 And he walked in the way of 
the kings of Israel, as did the house 
of Ahab : for i the daughter of Ahab 
was his wife : and he did evil in the 
sight of the Lord. 

19 Yet the Lord would not destroy 
Judah, for David his servant's sake, 
fas he promised him to give him al- 
ways a flight, and to his children. 

20 II In his days ^Edom revolted 
from under the hand of Judah, 'and 
made a king over themselves. 

21 So Joram went over to Zair, and 
all the chariots with him : and he rose 
by night, and smote the Edomites 
which compassed him about, and the 
captains of the chariots : and the 
people fled into their tents.

AhaziaKs wicked reign 

22 II Yet Edom revolted from un-

"Then Libnah revolted at the same 
time. 

23 And the rest of the acts of Jo- 
ram, and all that he did, are they not 
^^Tittenin the book of the Chronicles 
of the kings of Judah ? 

24 And Joram slept with his fa- 
thers, and was buried with his fathers 
in the city of David ; and ^ || Ahaziah 
his son reigned in his stead. 

25 % In the twelfth year of Joram 
the son of Ahab king of Israel did 
Aliaziah the son of Jehoram king of 
Judah begin to reign. 

26 yTwo and twenty years old was 
Ahaziah when he began to reign : and 
he reigned one year in Jerusalem. 
And his mother's name icas Athaliah, 
the II daughter of Omri king of Israel. 

27 2 And he walked in the way of 
the house of Ahab, and did evil in 
the sight of the Lord, as did the 
house of Ahab : for he was the son- 
in-law of the house of Ahab. 

28 H And he went ^^with Joram the 
son of Ahab to the war against Ha- 
zael king of Syria in Ramoth-gilead ; 
and the Syrians wounded Joram. 

29 And '' king Joram went back to 
be healed in Jezreel of the wounds 
t which the Syrians had given him 
at II Ramah, when he fought against 
Hazael king of Syria. «=And Ahaziah 
the son of Jehoram king of Judah 
went down to see Joram the son of 
Ahab in Jezreel, because he was 
t sick. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 Elisha gendeth a young prophet iciih iiislriictioiis 
to anoint Jehu al Ramoth-gilead. 4 The pro- 
phet having done his message Jleeth. 11 Jehu, 
being made king by the soldiers, hilleth Joram in 
the field ofNaSoth. 27 Ahaziah is slain at G-ur, 
and buried at Jerusalem. 30 Proud Jezebel is 
thrown down out of a window, and eaten by dogs. 

AND Elisha the prophet called 
one of ''the children of the pro- 
phets, and said unto him, ''Gird up 
thy loins, and take tliis box of oil in 
thy hand, ^ and go to Ramoth-gi- 
lead : 

2 And when thou comest thither, 
look out there Jehu the son of Jeho- 
shaphat, the son of Nimshi, and go in, 
and make him arise up from among 
"^his brethren, and carry him to an 
■j- inner chamber ; 

3 Then ^take the box of oil, and 

413 



Jehu is proclaimed king. 

pour it on his head, and say, Thus 
saith the Lord, I have anointed thee 
king over Israel. Then open the 
door, and flee, and tarry not. 

4 T[ So the young man, even the 
young man the prophet, went to Ra- 
moth-gilead. 

5 And when he came, behold, the 
captains of the host were sitting; and 
he said, I have an errand to thee, O 
captain. And Jehu said. Unto which 
of all us ? And he said, To thee, O 
captain. 

6 And he arose, and went into the 
house ; and he poured the oil on his 
head, and said unto him, ^Thus saith 
the Lord God of Israel, I have an- 
ointed thee king over the people of 
the Lord, even over Israel. 

7 And thou shalt smite the house 
of Ahab thy master, that I may a- 
venge the blood of my servants the 
prophets, and the blood of all the 
servants of the Lord, s at the hand 
of Jezebel. 

8 For the whole house of Ahab shall 
perish: and ''I will cut off" from Ahab 
'him that pisseth against the wall, and 
''him that is shut up and left in Israel: 

9 And I will make the house of 
Ahab like the house of 'Jeroboam 
the son of Nebat, and like tJie house 
of "> Baasha the son of Ahijah : 

10 " And the dogs shall eat Jezebel 
in the portion of Jezreel, and thei^e 
shall he none to bury her. And he 
opened the door, and fled. 

Ill Then Jehu came forth to the 
servants of his lord : and one said un- 
to him. Is all well ? wherefore came 
"this mad fellow to thee? And he 
said unto them. Ye know the man, 
and his communication. 

12 And they said. It is false; tell us 
now. And he said. Thus and thus 
spake he to me, saying, Thus saith 
the Lord, I have anointed thee king 
over Israel. 

13 Then they hasted, and Ptook 
every man his garment, and put it 
under him on the top of the stairs, 
and blew with trumpets, saying, Je- 
hu f is king. 

14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, 
the son of Nimshi, conspired against 
Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ra- 
moth-gilead, he and all Israel, be- 
cause of Hazael king of Syria.

15 But iking t Joram was returned 
to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds 
which the Syrians f had given him, 
when he fought with Hazael king of 
Syria.) And Jehu said. If it be your 
minds, then f let none go forth nor 
escape out of the city to go to tell it 
in Jezreel. 

16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and 
went to Jezreel ; for Joram lay there. 
■■And Ahaziali king of Judah was 
come down to see Joram. 

17 And there stood a watchman on 
the tower in Jezreel, and he spied 
the company of Jehu as he came, 
and said, I see a company. And 
Joram said, Take a horseman and 
send to meet them, and let him say. 
Is it peace ? 

18 So there went one on horseback 
to meet him, and said. Thus saith 
the king, Is it peace ? And Jehu said. 
What hast thou to do with peace ? 
turn thee behind me. And the watch- 
man told, saying. The messenger 
came to them, but he cometh not 
again. 

19 Then he sent out a second on 
horseback, which came to them, and 
said. Thus saith the king. Is it peace ? 
And Jehu answered. What hast thou 
to do with peace ? turn thee behind me. 

20 And the watchman told, saying. 
He came even unto them, and com- 
eth not again : and the || driving is 
like the driving of Jehu the son of 
Nimshi ; for he driveth f furiously. 

21 And Joram said, f Make ready. 
And his chariot was made ready. And 
^ Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah 
king of Judah went out, each in his 
chariot, and they went out against 
Jehu, and f met him in the portion 
of Naboth the Jezreelite. 

22 And it came to pass, when Joram 
saw Jehu, that he said. Is it peace, 
Jehu? And he answered. What peace, 
so long as the whoredoms of thy mo- 
ther Jezebel and her witchcrafts are 
so many ? 

23 And Joram turned his hands, and 
fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is 
treachery, O Ahaziah. 

24 And Jehu f drew a bow with his 
full strength, and smote Jehoram be- 
tween his arms, and the arrow went 
out at his heart, and he f sunk down 
in his chariot. 

414 



Ahaziah and Jezebel slain. 

' 25 Then said Jehu to Bidkar his 
captain, Take up, and cast him in 
the portion of the field of Naboth the 
JezreeUte : for remember how that, 
when I and thou rode together after 
Ahab his father, 'the Lord laid this 
burden upon him ; 

26 Surely I have seen yesterdaythe 
t blood of Naboth, and the blood of 
his sons, saiththe Lord: and "I will 
requite thee in this H plat, saith the 
Lord. Now therefore take and cast 
him into the plat of ground, accord- 
ing to the word of the Lord. 

27 Tf But when Ahaziah the king 
of Judah saw this, he fled by the way 
of the garden-house. And Jehu fol- 
lowed afterhim, and said. Smite him 
also in the chariot. And they did so 
at the going up to Gur, which is by 
Ibleam. And he fled to ^Megiddo, 
and died there. 

28 And his servants carried him in 
a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried 
liim in his sepulchre with his fathers 
in the city of David. 

29 And in the eleventh year of Jo- 
ram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah 
to reign over Judah. 

30 TI And when Jehu was come to 
Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it ; y and 
she t painted her face, and tired her 
head, and looked out at a window. 

31 And as Jehu entered in at the 
gate, she said, 'Had Zimri peace,

1 Jeliu, hy his letters, canseih seventy of Ahdb^s 
children to be beheaded. 8 He excuseih the fact 
by the prophecy of Elijah. 12 At the shearing- 
house he slayeth tico and forty of Ahaziah' s bre- 
thren. 16 He taketh Jehoiiadab into his com- 
pany. 18 By snbtitty he destroyeth all the wor- 
shippers of Baal. 29 Jehu folloueth Jeroboam's 
sins. 32 Hazael oppresselh Israel. SiJehoahaz 
succeedeth Jehu. 

AND Ahab had seventy sons in 
Samaria. And Jehu wrote let- 
ters, and sent to Samaria, unto the 
rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and 
to t them that brought up Ahab's 
children, saying, 

2 Now as soon as this letter cometh 
to you, seeing your master's sons are 
with you, and there are with you 
chariots and horses, a fenced city 
also, and armour ; 

3 Look even out the best and meet- 
estof your master's sons, and set him 
on his father's throne, and fight for 
your master's house. 

4 But they were exceedingly afraid, 
and said. Behold, two kings stood not 
before him: how then shall we stand? 

5 And he that was over the house, 
and he that was over the city, the 
elders also, and the bringers up of 
the children, sent to Jehu, saying. 
We are thy servants, and will do all 
that thou shalt bid us ; we will not 
make any king : do thou that which 
is good in thine eyes. 

6 Then he wrote a letter the second 
time to them, saying. If ye be f mine, 
and if ye will hearken unto my voice, 
take ye the heads of the men your 
master's sons, and come to me to 
Jezreel by to-morrow this time. (Now 
the king's sons being seventy per- 
sons, were with the great men of the 
city, which brought them up.) 

7 And it came to pass, when the let- 
ter came to them, that they took the 
king's sons, and ^ slew seventy per- 
sons, and put their heads in baskets, 
and sent him thern to Jezreel. 

8 TI And there came a messenger, 
and told him, saying. They have 
brought the heads of the king's sons. 
And he said, Lay ye them in two

heaps at the entering in of the gate 
until the morning. 

9 And it came to pass in the morn- 
ing, that he went out, and stood, 
and said to all the people, Ye he 
righteous : behold, ^ I conspired 
against my master, and slew him : 
but who slew all these ? 

10 Know now that there shall <=fall 
unto the earth nothing of the word 
of the Lord, which the Lord spake 
concerning the house of Ahab : for 
the Lord hath done that which he 
spake "^ t by his servant Elijah. 

11 So Jehu slew all that remained 
of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and 
all his great men, and his || kinsfolks, 
and his priests, until he left him none 
remaining. 

12 TI And he arose and depai'ted, 
and came to Samaria. Anddishewas 
at the f shearing-house in the way, 

13 e Jehu f met with the brethren 
of Ahaziah king of Judali, and said, 
Who are ye l And they answered. 
We are the brethren of Ahaziah ; 
and we go down f to salute the chil- 
dren of the king and the children of 
the queen. 

14 And he said. Take them alive. 
And they took them alive, and slew 
them at the pit of the shearing-house, 
even two and forty men ; neither left 
he any of them. 

15 "lif And when he was departed 
thence, he f lighted on ^ Jehonadab 
the son of s Rechab coming to meet 
him : and he f saluted him, and said 
to him, Is thy heart right, as my 
heart is with thy heart ? And Jehona- 
dab answered, It is. If it be, ^give 
me tiiy hand. And he gave him his 
hand ; and he took him up to him 
into the chariot. 

16 And he said, Come with me, 
and see my 'zeal for the Lord. So 
they made him ride in his chariot. 

17 And when he came to Samaria, 
'< he slew all that remained unto Ahab 
in Samaria, till he had destroyed 
him, according to the saying of the 
Lord, ' which he spake to Elijah. 

18 *i[And Jehu gathered all the 
people together, and said unto them, 
"1 Ahab served Baal a little ; hut Jehu 
shall sei've him much.

BaaVs worshippers slain. 
vants, and all his priests ; let none 
be wanting : for I have a great sa- 
crifice to do to Baal : whosoever 
shall be wanting, he shall not live. 
But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the 
intent that he might destroy the 
worshippers of Baal. 

20 And Jehu said, f Proclaim a 
solemn assembly for Baal. And they 
proclaimed it. 

21 And Jehu sent through all Is- 
rael : and all the worshippers of Baal 
came, so that there was not a man 
left that came not. And they came 
into the "house of Baal ; and the 
house of Baal was || full from one 
end to another. 

22 And he said unto him that was 
over the vestry, Bring forth vest- 
ments for all the worshippers of 
Baal. And he brought them forth 
vestments. 

23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab 
the son of Rechab, into the house of 
Baal, and said unto the worshippers 
of Baal, Search, and look that there 
be here with you none of the servants 
of the Lord, but the worshippers of 
Baal only. 

24 And when they went in to offer 
sacrifices and burnt-offerings, Jehu 
appointed fourscore men without, 
and said, if any of the men whom I 
have brought into your hands escape, 
he that letteth him go, Phis life shall 
he for the life of him. 

25 And it came to pass, as soon as 
he had made an end of offering the 
burnt-offering, that Jehu said to the 
guard and to the captains. Go in, 
and slay them ; let none come forth. 
And they smote them with f the edge 
of the sword ; and the guard and the 
captains cast thein out, and went to 
the city of the house of Baal. 

26 And they brought forth the 
t q images out of the house of Baal, 
and burned them. 

27 And they brake down the image 
of Baal, and brake down the house of 
Baal, '■ and made it a draught-house 
unto this day. 

28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out 
of Israel. 

29 IHowbeit, /ro?re the sins of Je- 
roboam the son of Nebat, who made 
Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from 
after them, to wit, nhe golden calves 

416 



Joash, saved from AthcUiaJis 

that icere in Beth-el, and that were 

in Dan. 

30 And the Lord said unto Jehu. 
Because thou hast done well in exe- 
cuting that which, is right in mine 
eves, and hast done unto the house 
oi' Ahab according to all that uas 
in my heart, Uhy children of the 
fourth generation shall sit on the 
throne of IsraeL 

31 But Jehu jtook no heed to 
walk in the law of the Lord God of 
Israel with all his heart : for he de- 
parted not from " the sins of Jero- 
boam, which made Israel to sin. 

32 T In those davs the Lord began 
fto cut Israel short: and ^Hazael 
smote them in all the coasts of Israel ; 

33 From Jordan f eastward, all the 
Icind of Gilead, the Gadites, and the 
Reubenites, andtheManassites. from 
-\xoer, which js by the river -\rnon, 
ii even r Gilead and Bashan. 

34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, 
and all that he did, and all his might, 
are they not written in the book of 
the Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 

35 And Jehu slept with his fathers: 
and they buried him in Samaria. And 
Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead. 

36 And t the time that Jehu reijm- 
ed over Israel in Samaria teas twenty 
and eight vears.

5 Let the priests take it to them, 
every man of his acquaintance : and 
let them repair the breaches of the 
house, wheresoever any breach shall 
be found. 

But it was so, that f in the three 
and twentieth year of king Jehoash 
^the priest had not repaired the 
breaches of the house. 

7 sThen king Jehoash called for 
Jehoiada the priest, and the other 
priests, and said unto them, Why re- 
pair ye not the breaches of the house? 
now therefore receive no wzorc money 
of your acquaintance, but deliver it 
for the breaches of the house. 

8 And the priests consented to re- 
ceive no 7no7^e money of the people, 
neither to repair the breaches of the 
house. 

9 But Jehoiada the priest took '' a 
chest, and bored a hole in the lid of 
it, and set it beside the altar, on the 
right side as one cometh into the 
house of the Lord : and the priests 
that kept the f door put therein all 
the money that was brought into the 
house of the Lord. 

10 And it was so, when they saw 
that there was much money in the 
chest, that the ki 
the high priest came 
f put up in bags, and told the money 
that was found in the house of the 
Lord. 

1 1 And they gave the money,being 
told, into the hands of them that did 
the work, that had the oversight of 
the house of the Lord : and they 
flaid it out to the carpenters and 
builders, that wrought upon the

delivered the money to be bestowed

fully. 

IG 'The trespass-money and sin-mo- 
ney was not brought into the house

Hazael oppresseih Israel. 

bat, wliich made Israel to sin; he de- 
parted not therefrom. 

3 ■|i And "the anger of the Lord 
was kindled against Israel, and he de- 
livered them into the hand of ^ Ha- 
zael king of Syria, and into the hand 
of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael, all 
their days. 

4 And Jehoahaz <= besought the 
Lord, and the Lord hearkened un- 
to him : for ''he saw the oppression 
of Israel, because the king of Syria 
oppressed them. 

5 (''And the Lord gave Israel a 
saviour, so that they Avent out from 
under the hand of the S}Tians : and 
the children of Israel dwelt in their 
tents, f as beforetime. 

6 Nevertheless they departed not 
from the sins of the house of Jerobo- 
am, who made Israel sin, but f walk- 
ed therein : 'and there f remained the 
grove also in Samaria.) 

7 Neither did he leave of the people 
to Jehoaliaz but fifty horsemen, and 
ten chariots, and ten thousand foot- 
men ; for the king of Syria had de- 
stroyed them, sand had made them 
like the dust by threshing. 

8 *^ Now the rest of the acts of Je- 
hoahaz, and all that he did, and his 
might, are they not written in the 
book of the Chronicles of the kings 
of Israel? 

9 And Jehoahaz slept with his fa- 
thers ; and they buried him in Sama 
ria : and 
his stead 

10 11 In the thirty and seventh year 
of Joash king of Judah began ||Je- 
hoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign 
over Israel in Samaria, and reigned 
sixteen years. 

1 1 And he did that which was evil 
in the sight of the Lord ; he depart- 
ed not from all the sins of Jeroboam 
the son of Nebat, who made Israel 
sin ; but he walked therein. 

12 ''And the rest of the acts of Jo- 
ash, and 'all that he did, and ''his 
might wherewith he fought against 
Amaziah king of Judah, ai-e they not 
written in the book of the Chronicles 
of the kings of Israel ? 

13 And Joash slept with his fathers ; 
and Jeroboam sat upon his throne ; 
and Joash was buried in Samaria 
with the kings of Israel. 

419 



Joash his son reigned in 



EUsha!s sickness and death. 

14 H Now Elishawas fallen sick of 
his sickness whereof he died. And 
Joash tiie king of Israel came down 
unto him, and wept over his face, 
and said, O my father, my father ! 
' the chariot of Israel, and the horse- 
men thereof! 

15 And Elisha said unto him. Take 
bow and arrows. And he took unto 
him bow and arrows. 

IG And he said to the king of Israel, 
•)■ Put thy hand upon the bow. And 
he put his hand upon it: and Elisha 
put his hands upon the king's hands. 

17 And he said. Open the window 
eastward. And he opened it. Then 
Elisha said. Shoot. And he shot. 
And he said. The arrow of the 
Lord's deliverance, and the arrow 
of deliverance from Syria: for thou 
shalt smite the Syrians in "Aphek, 
till thou have consumed them. 

18 And he said. Take the arrows. 
And he took them. And he said unto 
the king of Israel, Smite upon the 
ground. And he smote thrice, and 
stayed. 

19 And the man of God was wroth 
with him, and said. Thou shouldest 
have smitten five or six times ; then 
hadst thou smitten Syria till thou 
hadst consumed zi : « whereas now 
thou shalt smite Syria hut thrice. 

20 *il And Elisha died, and they 
buried him. And the bands of the 
Moabites invaded the land at the 
coming in of the year. 

21 And it came to pass, as they were 
burying a man, that behold, they 
spied a band of men; and they cast 
the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: 
and when the man f was let down, 
and touched the bones of Elisha, he 
revived, and stood up on his feet. 

22 H But 'illazael king of Syria op- 
pressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 

23 ""And the Loiu) was gracious 
luito them, and had compassion on 
them, and ^Miad respect unto them, 
'because of his covenant with Abra- 
ham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would 
not destroy them, neither cast he 
them from his f presence as yet. 

24 So Ilazael king of Syria died ; 
and Ben-hadad his son reigned in his 
stead.

2 He was twenty and five years old

And his mother's name was Jehoad^ 
dan of Jerusalem. 

3 And he did that which was right 
in the sight of the Lord, yet not like 
David his father: he did according to 
all things as Joash his father did. 

4 "^Howbeit, the high places were 
not taken away : as yet the people 
did sacrifice, and burnt incense on 
the high places. 

5 II And it came to pass, as soon as 
the kingdom was confirmed in his 
hand, that he slew his servants "^ which 
had slain the king his father. 

6 But the children of the murder-

which is written in the book of the

manded, saying, ^The fathers shall 
not be put to death for the children, 
nor the children be put to death for 
the fathers ; but every man shall be 
put to death for his own sin. 

7 f He slew of Edomin 8 the valley 
of Salt ten thousand, and took || Se-

it Joktheel until this day. 

8 H 'Then Amaziah sent messengers

up ; and he and Amaziah king of Ju-

brake down the wall of Jerusalem

Jeroboam the son of Joash king of 
Israel began to reign in ^&ma.r\z,and 
reigned forty and one years. 

24 And he did thai ichich was evil 
in the sight of the Lord: he departed 
not from all the sins of Jeroboam the 
son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 

25 He restored the coast of Israel 
^from the entering of Hamath unto 
''the sea of the plain, according to the 
word of the Lord God of Israel,which 
he spake by the hand of his servant 
i" Jonah, the son of Amittai, the pro- 
phet, which icas of '^Gath-hepher. 

26 For the Lord ''saw the affliction 
of Israel, that it was very bitter : for 
^ there icas not any shut up, nor any 
left, nor any helper for Israel. 

27 '"And the Lord said not that he 
would blot out the name of Israel 
from under heaven : but he saved 
them by the hand of Jeroboam the 
son of Joash. 

28 TI Now the rest of the acts of Je-

might, how he warred, and how he 
recovered Damascus, and Hamath, 
e which belonged to Judah, for Israel, 
are they not written in the book of

6 And the rest of the acts of Aza-

of the kings of Judah ? 

7 So Azariah slept with his fathers ; 
and f they buried him with his fathers 
in the city of David ; and Jotham his 
son reigned in his stead. 

8 H In the thirty and eighth year of 
Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah 
the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel 
in Samaria six months. 

9 And he did that which was evil in 
the sight of the Lord, as his fathers 
had done : he departed not from the 
sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, 
who made Israel to sin. 

10 And Shallum the son of Jabesh 
conspired against him, and & smote 
him before the people, and slew him, 
and reigned in his stead. 

1 1 And the rest of the acts of Za- 
chariah, behold, they are written in 
the book of the Chronicles of the 
kings of Israel. 

12 This was ^the word of the Lord 
which he spake unto Jehu, saying. 
Thy sons shall sit on the throne of 
Israel unto the fourth generation. 
And so it came to pass. 

13 II Shallum the son of Jabesh be- 
gan to reign in the nine and thirtieth 
year of ■ Uzziah king of Judah ; and 
he reigned f a full month in Samaria. 

14 For Menahem the son of Gadi 
went up from ^ Tirzah, and came to 
Samaria, and smote Shallum the son

and reigned in his stead. 

15 And the rest of the acts of Shal-

The wicked reign of Ahaz. 

3 But he walked in the way of the 
kings of Israel, yea, ^and made his 
son to pass through the fire, accord- 
ing to the <^ abominations of the hea- 
then, whom the Lord cast out fi-om 
before the children of Israel. 

4 And he sacrificed and burnt in- 
cense in the high places, and ^ on the 
hills, and under every green tree. 

.5 TI^Then Rezin king of Syria and 
Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel 
came up to Jerusalem to war: and 
they besieged Ahaz, but could not 
overcome him. 

6 At that time Rezin king of Sy- 
ria ^recovered Elath to Syria, and 
drave the Jews from fElath: and 
the Syrians came to Elath, and 
dwelt there unto this day. 

7 So Ahaz sent messengers ?to 
f Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, 
saying, I am thy servant and thy 
son : come up, and save me out of 
the hand of the king of Syria, and 
out of the hand of the king of Israel, 
which rise up against me. 

8 And Ahaz '' took the silver and 
gold that was found in the house of 
the Lord, and in the treasures of the 
king's house, and sent it for a pre- 
sent to the king of Assyria. 

9 And the king of Assyria hearken- 
ed unto him : for the king of Assy- 
ria went up against f Damascus, and 
'took it, and carried the people of it 
captive to Kir, and slew Rezin. 

10 TIAnd king Ahaz went to Da- 
mascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king 
of Assyria, and saw an altar that teas 
at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to 
Urijah the priest the fashion of the 
altar, and the pattern of it, according 
to all the workmanship thereof. 

11 And Urijah the priest built an 
altar according to all that king Ahaz 
had sent from Damascus ; so Urijah 
the priest made it against king Ahaz 
came from Damascus. 

12 And when the king was come 
from Damascus, the king saw the 
altar : and ^ the king approached to 
the altar, and offered thereon. 

13 And he burnt his burnt-offering 
and his meat-offering, and poured 
his drink-offering, and sprinkled the 
blood of f his peace-offerings upon 
the altar. 

14 And he brought also 'the brazen

Ahaz spoileth the temple. 

altar, which was before the Lord, 
from the forefront of the house, from 
between the altar and the house of 
the Lord, and put it on the north 
side of the altar. 

15 And king Ahaz commanded U- 
rijah the priest, saying, Upon the 
great altar burn ""the morning burnt- 
offering, and the evening meat-offer- 
ing, and the king's burnt-sacrifice, 
and his meat-offering, with the burnt- 
offering of all the people of the land, 
and their meat-offering, and their 
drink-offerings ; and sprinkle upon 
it all the blood of the burnt-offering, 
and all the blood of the sacrifice: and 
the brazen altar shall be for me to 
inquire by. 

16 Thus did Urijah the priest, ac- 
cording to all that king Ahaz com- 
manded. 

17 If 1 And king Ahaz cut ofr° the 
borders of the bases, and removed 
the laver from off them ; and took 
down P the sea from off the brazen 
oxen that were under it, and put it 
upon a pavement of stones. 

18 And the covert for the sabbath 
that they had built in the house, and 
the king's entry without, turned he 
from the house of the Lord for the 
king of Assyria. 

19 H Now the rest of the acts of 
Ahaz which he did, are they not 
written in the book of the Chron- 
icles of the kings of Judah ? 

20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, 
and q was buried with his fathers in 
the city of David : and Hezekiah his 
son reigned in his stead.

Israel is carried into captivity. 

sent messengers to So king of E- 
gypt, and brought no present to the 
king of Assyria, as he had done year 
by year : therefore the king of Assy- 
ria shut him up, and bound him in 
prison. 

5 II Then ^ the king of Assyria 
came up throughout all the land, and 
went up to Samaria, and besieged it 
three years. 

6 •[[ d In the ninth year of Hoshea 
the king of Assyria took Samaria, 
and e carried Israel away into Assyria, 
fand placed them in Halah and in 
Habor by the river of Gozan, and in 
the cities of the Medes. 

7 For so it was, that the children of 
Israel had sinned against the Lord 
their God, which had brought them 
up out of the land of Egypt, from 
under the hand of Pharaoh king of 
Egypt, and had feared other gods, 

8 And & walked in the statutes of 
the heathen whom the Lord cast 
out from before the children of Is- 
rael, and of the kings of Israel, which 
they had made. 

9 And the children of Israel did se- 
cretly those things that were not right 
against the Lord their God, and 
they built them high places in all 
their cities, ''from the tower of the 
watchman to the fenced city. 

10 'And they set them up •]? images 
and 1^ groves Un every high hill, and 
under every green tree : 

1 1 And there they burnt incense in 
all the high places, as did the hea- 
then whom the Lord carried away 
before them ; and wrought wicked 
things to provoke the Lord to an- 
ger : 

12 For they served idols, "" whereof 
the Lord had said unto them, " Ye 
shall not do this thing. 

13 Yet the Lord testified against 
Israel, and against Judah, f by all the 
prophets, and by all « the seers, say- 
ing, P Turn ye from your evil ways, 
and keep my commandments, and 
my statutes, according to all the law 
which I commanded your fathers, and 
which I sent to you by my servants 
the prophets. 

14 Notwithstanding, they would not 
hear, but <\ hardened their necks, like 
to the neck of their fathers, that did 
not believe in the Lord their God. 

424 



Israel rejected for their sins. 

15 And they rejected his statutes, 
"■ and his covenant that he made with 
their fathers, and his testimonies 
which he testified against them; and 
they followed = vanity, and ^became 
vain, and went after the heathen that 
were round about them, concerning 
whom the Lord had charged them, 
that they should "not do like them. 

16 And they left all the command- 
ments of the Lord their God, and 
*made them molten images, even two 
calves, y and made a grove, and wor- 
shipped all the host of heaven, ^and 
served Baal. 

17 ''And they caused their sons and 
their daughters to pass through the 
fire, and ''used divination and en- 
chantments, and <=sold themselves to 
do evil in the sight of the Lord, to 
provoke him to anger. 

18 Therefore the Lord was very 
angry with Israel, and removed them 
out of his sight : there was none left 
<^ but the tribe of Judah only. 

19 Also 'e Judah kept not the com- 
mandments of the Lord their God, 
but walked in the statutes of Israel 
which they made. 

20 And the Lord rejected all the 
seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and 
f delivered them into the hand of 
spoilers, until he had cast them out 
of his sight. 

21 For fe'he rent Israel from the 
house of David ; and ''they made Je- 
roboam the son of Nebat king : and 
Jeroboam drave Israel from follow- 
ing the Lord, and made them sin a 
great sin. 

22 For the children of Israel walked 
in all the sins of Jeroboam which he 
did ; they departed not from them ; 

23 Until the Lord removed Israel 
out of his sight, 'as he had said by all 
his sei-vants the prophets. '^So was 
Israel carried away out of their own 
land to Assyria unto this day. 

24 1 'And the king of Assyria 
brought men "'from Babylon, and 
from Cuthah, and from "Ava, and 
from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, 
and placed them in the cities of Sa- 
maria instead of the children of Is- 
rael : and they possessed Samaria, 
and dwelt in the cities thereof 

25 And so it was at the beginning 
of their dwelling there, that they

The mixed worship of the Samaritans. 
feared not the Lord : therefore the 
Lord sent lions among them, which 
slew some of them. 

26 Wherefore they spake to the 
king of Assyria, saying. The nations 
which thou hast removed, and placed 
in the cities of Samaria, know not 
the manner of the God of the land : 
therefore he hath sent lions among 
them, and behold, they slay them, 
because they know not the manner 
of the God of the land. 

27 Then the king of Assyria com- 
manded, saying. Carry thither one of 
the priests whom ye brought from 
thence ; and let them go and dwell 
there, and let him teach them the 
manner of the God of the land. 

28 Then one of the priests whom 
they had carried away from Samaria 
came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught 
them how they should fear the Lord. 

29 Howbeit, every nation madegods 
of their own, and put tlicm in the 
houses of the high places which the 
Samaritans had made, every nation 
in their cities wherein they dwelt. 

30 And the men of "Babylon made 
Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth 
made Nergal, and the men of Ha- 
math made Ashima, 

31 pAnd the Avites made Nibhaz 
and Tartak, and the Sepharvites 
1 burnt their children in fire to Adram- 
melech and Anammelech, the gods 
of Sepharvaim. 

32 So they feared the Lord, ""and 
made unto "themselves of the lowest 
of them priests of the high places, 
which sacrificed for them in the 
houses of the high places. 

33 ^They feared the Lord, and 
served their own gods, after the man- 
ner of the nations || whom they car- 
ried away from thence. 

34 Unto this day they do after the 
former manners: they fear not the 
Lord, neither do they after their 
statutes, or after their ordinances, or 
after the law and commandment 
which the Lord commanded the 
children of Jacob, Uvhom he named 
Israel ; 

35 With whom the Lord had made 
a covenant, and charged them, say- 
ing, "Ye shall not fear other gods, 
nor ^bow yourselves to them, nor 
serve them, nor sacrifice to them: 

425 



Hezehah's good reign. 

36 Eut the Lord, who brought you 
up out of the land of Egypt with 
great power and 3a stretched-out 
arm, ^him shall ye fear, and him shall 
ye worship, and to him shall ye do 
sacrifice. 

37 And the statutes, and the ordi- 
nances, and the law, and the com- 
mandment which he wrote for you, 
^ye shall observe to do for evermore ; 
and ye shall not fear other gods. 

38 And the covenant that I have 
made with you ^ ye shall not forget : 
neither shall ye fear other gods. 

39 But the Lord your God ye shall 
fear ; and he shall deliver you out of 
the hand of all your enemies. 

40 Howbeit they did not hearken, 
but they did after their former man- 
ner. 

41 t^So these nations feared the 
Lord, and served their graven im- 
ages, both their children, and their 
children's children: as did their fa- 
thers, so do they unto this day.

2 Twenty and five years old was he

Sennacherib invadeth Judah. 

7 And the Lord ^was with him :

not. 

1 'He smote the Philistines, even 
unto -f Gaza, and the borders thereof, 

from the tower of the watchmen to 
the fenced city. 

9 ^And "it came to pass in the 
fourth year of king Hezekiah, which 
was the seventh year of Hoshea son 
of Elah king of Israel, that Shalma- 
neser king of A ssyria came up against 
Samaria, and besieged it. 

10 And at the end of three years 
they took it : even in the sixth year 
of Hezekiah, (that is, °the ninth year 
of Hoshea king of Israel,) Samaria 
was taken. 

11 PAnd the king of Assyria did 
carry away Israel unto Assyria, and 
put them qin Halah and in Habor by 
the river of Gozan, and in the cities 
of the Medes : 

12 ^Because they obeyed not the 
voice of the Lord their God, but 
transgressed his covenant, and all 
that Moses the servant of the Lord 
commanded, and would not hear 
them, nor do them. 

13 "U Now ^in the fourteenth year 
of king Hezekiah did f Sennacherib 
king of Assyria come up against all 
the fenced cities of Judah, and took 
them. 

14 And Hezekiah king of Judah 
sent to the king of Assyria to La- 
chish, saying, I have offended ; re- 
turn from me: that which thou put- 
test on me I will bear. And the king 
of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah 
king of Judah three hundred talents 
of silver and thirty talents of gold. 

15 And Hezekiah tgave himaW the 
silver that was found in the house of 
the Lord, and in the treasures of the 
king's house. 

16 At that time did Hezekiah cut 
off the gold from the doors of the 
temple of the Lord, and from the 
pillars which Hezekiah king of Ju- 
dah had overlaid, and gave fit to the 
king of Assyria.

the son of Hilkiah. which ivas over

syria, "What confidence zsthiswhere-

20 Thou II sayest, (but they are but 
f vain words.) I| / have counsel and 
strength for the war. Now on whom 
dost thou trust, that thou rebellest

21 >■ Now behold, thou f trustest 
upon the staff of this bruised reed, 
even upon Egj'pt, on which if a man 
lean, it will go into his hand, and 
pierce it; so is Pharaoh king of 
Egypt unto all that trust on him. 

22 But if ye say unto me. We trust 
in the Lord our God : is not that 
he 2 whose high places and whose 
altars Hezekiah hath taken away, 
and hath said to Judah and Jeru- 
salem, Ye shall worship before this

ter, and to thee,to speak these words? 
liath he not sent me to the men which 
sit on the wall, that they may eat 
their own dung, and drink -j- their 
own piss with you ? 

28 Then Rab-shakeh stood and cri- 
ed with aloud voice in the Jews' lan- 
guage, and spake, saying. Hear the 
word of the great king, the king of 
Assyria : 

29 Thus saith the king, ^'Let not 
Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall 
not be able to deliver you out of his 
hand : 

30 Neither let Hezekiah make you 
trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord 
will surely deliver us, and this city 
shall not be delivered into the hand 
of the king of Assyria. 

31 Hearken not to Hezekiah : for 
thus saith the king of Assyria, 
II f Make an agreement with me by 
a present, and come out to me, and 
then eat ye every man of his own 
vine, and every one of his fig-tree, 
and drink ye every one the waters 
of his II cistern: 

32 Until I come and take you away 
to a land like your own land, ^^ a land 
of corn and wine, a land of bread 
and vineyards, a land of oil-olive and 
of hone}', that ye may live, and not 
die : and hearken not unto Heze- 
kiah, when he || persuadeth you, say- 
ing, The Lord will deliver us. 

33 <=Hath any of the gods of the 
nations delivered at all his land out 
of the hand of the king of Assyria? 

34 'I Where are the gods of Hamath, 
and of Arpad ? where are the gods of 
Sepharvaim, Hena, and "Ivah? have 
they delivered Samaria out of my 
hand ? 

35 Who are they among all the gods 
of the countries that have delivered 
their country out of my hand, ^ that 
the Lord should deliver Jerusalem 
out of my hand ? 

36 But the people held their peace, 
and answered him not a word : for 
the king's commandment was, say- 
ing, Answer him not. 

37 Then came Eliakim the son of 
Hilkiah, which was over the house- 
hold, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah 
the sonof Asaph the recorder, to He- 
zekiah swith tJieir clothes rent, and 
told him the words of Rab-shakeh.

for them. & Isaialtcomfurtefkthtm. S Senna-

blasptiemous teller to Hezekiah. 14 Hezekiah' s 
prayer. 2U Isaiah^ s prophecy of tiie pride and 
destruction of Sennacherib, and the good of 
Zion. 35 Ah angel slayeth the Assyrians. 36 
iSennackerib is slain at Nineveh by his oicn sons. 

AND '^it came to pass, when king '|.is!ii- 37.1 
Hezekiah heard it, that he rent 
his clothes, and covered himself with 
sackcloth, and went into the house 
of the Lord. 

2 And he sent Eliakim, which was 
over the household, and Shebna the 
scribe, and the elders of the priests, 
covered with sackcloth, to ^ Isaiah 
the prophet the son of Amoz. 

3 And they said unto him, Thus 
saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of 
trouble, and of rebuke, and || blas- 
phemy : for the children are come to 
the birth, and there is not strength 
to bring forth. 

4 '^It may be the Lord thy God 
will hear all the words of Rab-sha- 
keh, '^whom the king of Assyria his 
master hath sent to reproach the 
living God ; and will ^reprove the 
words which the Lord thy God hath 
heard: wherefore lift up tJit/ prayer 
for the remnant that are f left. 

5 So the servants of king Hezekiah 
came to Isaiah. 

6 '^ f And Isaiah said unto them. 
Thus shall ye say to your master. 
Thus saith the Lord, Be not afraid 
of the words which thou hast heard, 
with which the g servants of the king 
of Assyria have blasphemed me. 

7 Behold, I will send ^a blast upon 
him, and he shall hear a rumour, and 
shall return to his own land; and I 
will cause him to fall by the sword 
in his own land. 

8 '^ So Rab-shakeh returned, and 
found the king of Assyria warring 
against Libnah : for he had heard 
that he was departed ' from La- 
chish. 

9 And "^'when he heard say of Tii--

sent messengers again unto Heze-

11 Behold, thou hast heard what

and shalt thou be delivered? 

12 ™Have the gods of the nations 
delivered them which my fathers have

14 TI PAnd Hezekiah received the 
letter of the hand of the messengers, 
and read it : and Hezekiah went up 
into the house of the Lord, and 
spread it before the Lord. 

15 And Hezekiah prayed before the 
Lord and said, O Lord God of Is- 
rael, q which dwellest &eiii;ee7itheche- 
rubims, nhou art the God, even thou 
alone, of all the kingdoms ofthe earth ; 
thou hast made heaven and earth.

see : and hear the words of Senna- 
cherib, "which hath sent him to re- 
proach the living God. 

17 Of a truth. Lord, the kings of 
Assyria have destroyed the nations 
and their lands, 

18 And have f cast their gods into 
the fire : for they were no gods, but 
* the work of men's hands, wood and 
stone : therefore they have destroyed 
them. 

19 Now therefoi-e,OLoRD our God,

thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up 
thine eyes on high? even against 
•^the Holy One of Israel. 

23 f ^ By thy messengers thou hast 
reproached the Lord, and hast said, 
fWith the multitude of my chariots 
I am come up to the height of the 
mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, 
and will cut down |the tall cedar- 
trees thereof, and the choice fir-trees 
thereof: and I will enter into the 
lodgings of his borders, and into ||the 
forest of his Carmel. 

24 I have digged and drunk strange 
waters, and with the sole of my feet 
have I dried up all the rivers of || be- 
sieged places. 

25 il Hast thou not heard long ago 
how e I have done it, and of ancient 
times that I have formed it? noAv 
have I brought it to pass, that ^thou 
shouldest be to lay waste fenced 
cities into ruinous heaps. 

26 Therefore their inhabitants were 
f of small power, they were dismayed 
and confounded ; they were as the 
grass of the field, and as the green 
herb, as 'the grass on the hou.se- 
tops, and as corn blasted before it be 
grown up. 

27 But ^ I know thy || abode, and \^^- "a. i 
thy going out, and thy coming in, wot.sunng. 
and thy rage against me. 

28 Because thy rage against me and 
thy tumult is come up into mine ears, 
therefore 'I will put my hook in thy 
nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and 
I will turn thee back '"by the way 
by which thou earnest. 

29 And this shall he "a sign un- 
to thee. Ye shall eat this year such 
things as grow of themselves, and in 
the second year that which springeth 
of the same ; and in the third year 
sow ye, and reap, and plant vine- 
yards, and eat the fruits thereof. 

30 °And fthe remnant that is es- 
caped of the house of Judah shall 
yet again take root downward, and 
bear fruit upward. 

31 For out of Jerusalem shall go 
forth a remnant, and f they that es- 
cape out of mount Zion: p the zeal of 
the Lord of hosts shall do this. 

32 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
concerning the king of Assyria, He 
shall not come into this city, nor

33 By the way that he came, by the

34 For <J I will defend this city, to 
save it, for mine own sake, and ^ for

35"[[And ^it came to pass that night, 
that the angel of the Lord went out, 
and smote in the camp of the Assy- 
rians a hundred fourscoure and five 
thousand ; and when they arose early 
in the morning, behold, they were all 
dead corpses. 

36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria 
departed, and went and returned, and 
dwelt at 'Nineveh. 

37 And it came to pass, as he was 
worshipping in the house of Nisroch 
hisgod, that "Adrammelech and Sha-

sword : and they escaped into the 
land of t Armenia. And ^ Esar-had-

CHAP. XX. 

1 Hezekuih, having received a message of death, 
by prayer hath his life lengthened. 8 The sun 
goeth ten degrees backxcard for a sign of that 
promise. 12 Berodach-bakidan sending to visit 
Hezekiah, because of the iconder, hath notice of 
his treasures. 14 Isaiah understanding thereof 
foretelhlh the Babylonian captivity. 20 Manas- 
seh succeedeth Hezekiah. 

N '^ those days was Hezekiah sick 
unto death. And the prophet 
Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, 
and said unto him. Thus saith the 
Lord, f Set thy house in order ; for 
thou shalt die, and not live. 

2 Then he turned his face to the 
wall, and prayed unto the Lord, say- 
ing, 

3 I beseech thee, O Lord, ^ remem- 
ber now how I have '^walked before 
thee in truth and with a perfect heart, 
and have done that ivhich is good in 
thy sight. And Hezekiah wept f sore. 

4 And it came to pass, afoi-e Isaiali 
was gone out into the middle || court, 
that the word of the Lord came to 
him, saying, 

5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiali 
''the captain of my people. Thus saith 
the Lord, the God of David thy fa- 
ther, « I have heard thy prayer, I have 
seen 'thy tears : behold, I will heal 
thee : on the third day thou shalt go 
up unto the house of the Lord. 

6 And I will add unto thy days

fifteen years ; and I will deliver thee 
and this cit}' out of the hand of the 
king of Ass}Tia ; and s I will defend 
this city for mine own sake, and for 
my servant David's sake. 

7 And h Isaiah said, Take a lump of 
figs. And they took and laid it on 
the bile, and he recovered. 

8 H And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, 
i What shall be the sign that the Lord 
will heal me, and that I shall go up 
into the house of the Lord the third 
day? 

9 And Isaiah said, ^This sign shalt 
thou have of the Lord, that the Lord 
Avill do the thing that he hath spoken : 
shall the shadow go forward ten de- 
grees, or go back ten degrees J 

10 And Hezekiah answered. It is a 
liirhtthins for the shadow to go down 
ten degrees : nay, but let the shadow 
return backward ten degrees. 

11 And Isaiah the prophet cried 
unto the Lord : and ' he brought the 
shadow ten degrees backward, by 
which it had gone down in the f dial 
of Ahaz. 

12 *lImAt that time || Berodach-ba- 
ladan, the son of Baladan, king of 
Babylon, sent letters and a present 
unto Hezekiah : for he had heard 
that Hezekiah had been sick. 

13 And "Hezekiah hearkened unto 
them, and shewed them all the house 
of his II precious things, the silver, 
and the gold, and the spices, and the 
precious ointment, and all the house 
of his lit armour, and all that was 
found in his treasures : there was no- 
thing in his house, nor in all his do- 
minion, that Hezekiah shewed them 
not. 

14 "^ Then came Isaiah the prophet 
unto king Hezekiah, and said unto 
him. What said these men ? and from 
whence came they unto thee ? And 
Hezekiah said, They are come from 
a far country, even "from Babvlon. 

15 And he said, "What have they 
seen in thy house ? And Hezekiah 
answered, oAll tlic fhijurs that a?-e in 
my house have they seen : there is 
nothing among my treasui-es that I 
have not shewed them. 

16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, 
Hear the word of the Lord.

that is in tliv house, and that which

grove that he had made in the house, 
of which the Lord said to David, and 
to Solomon his son, ^-In this house, 
and in Jerusalem, which I have cho- 
sen out of all tribes of Israel, will I 
put my name for ever : 

8 'Neither will I make the feet of 
Israel move any more out of the land 
which I gave their fathers ; only if 
they will observe to do according to 
all that I have commanded them, 
and according to all the law that my 
servant Moses commanded them. 

9 But they hearkened not : and Ma- 
nasseh >" seduced them to do more evil 
than did the nations whom the Lord 
destroyed before the children of Is 
rael. 

10 II And the Lord spake by his 
servants the prophets, saying, 

11 "Because Manasseh king of Ju- 
dah hath done these abominations, 
"and hath done wickedly above all 
that the Amorites did, which were 
before him, and Phath made Judah 
also to sin with his idols : 

12 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God of Israel, Behold, I am bring- 
ing such evil upon Jerusalem and 
Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, 
both •ihis ears shall tingle. 

13 And I will stretch over Jerusa- 
lem ""the line of Samaria, and the 
plummet of the house of Ahab : 
and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man 
wipeth a dish, f wiping it, and turn 
ing it upside down. 

14 And I will forsake the remnant 
of mine inheritance, and deliver them 
into the hand of their enemies; and 
they shall become a prey and a spoil 
to all their enemies ; 

1.5 Because they have done that 
which was evil in my sight, and 
have provoked me to anger, since 
the day their fathers came forth out 
of Egypt, even unto tliis day. 

16 sMoreover,Manasseh shed inno- 
cent blood very much, till he had fill- 
ed Jerusalem ffrom one end to ano- 
ther; besides his sin wherewith he 
made Judah to sin, in doing that which 
was evil in the sight of the Lord. 

17 "UNow tthe rest of the acts of 
Manasseh, and all that he did, and 
his sin that he sinned, are they not 
written in the book of the Chronicles 
of the kinsjs of Judah ?

when he began to reign, and he 
reigned thirty and one years in Je-

was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah

in the sight of the Lord, and walked 
in all the Avay of David his father, 
and <^ turned not aside to the right

•S TI f^And it came to pass in the 
eighteenth year of king Josiah, that 
the king sent Shaphan the son of Aza- 
liah,the son of Meshullam,the scribe, 
to the house of the Lord, saying, 

4 Go up to Hilkiah the high priest,

5 And let them ffdehver it into the

have the oversight of the house of 
the Lord: and let them give it to 
the doers of the work, which is in 
the house of the Lord, to repair the 
breaches of the house, 

6 Unto carpenters, and builders, 
and masons, and to buy timber and 
hewn stone to repair the house. 

7 Howbeit, ''there was no reckon- 
ing made with them of the money 
that was delivered into their hand, 
because they dealt faithfully. 

8 TI And Hilkiah the high priest 
said unto Shaphan the scribe, 'I 
have found the book of the law in 
the house of the Lord. And Hil- 
kiah gave the book to Shaphan, and 
he read it. 

9 And Shaphan the scribe came to 
the king, and brought the king word 
again, and said, Thy servants have 
t gathered the money that was found 
in the house, and have delivered it 
into the hand of them that do the 
work, that have the oversight of the 
house of the Lord. 

10 And Shaphan the scribe shewed 
the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest 
hath delivered me a book. And Sha- 
phan read it before the king. 

1 1 And it came to pass, when the 
king had heard the words of the book 
of the law, that he rent his clothes. 

12 And the king commanded Hil- 
kiah the priest, and Ahikamthesonof 
Shaphan, and ^Achbor the son of ||Mi-

and they communed with her. 

15 Tf And she said unto them, Thus 
saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell 
the man that sent you to me, 

16 Thus saith the Lord, Behold,* 
"I will bring evil upon this place, and 
upon the inhabitants thereof, even all 
the words of the book which the king 
of Judah hath read: 

17 "Because they have forsaken me, 
and have burned incense unto other 
gods, that they might provoke me 
to anger with all the works of their 
hands ; therefore my wrath shall be 
kindled against this place, and shall 
not be quenched. 

18 But to Pthe king of Judah which 
sent you to inquire of the Lord, thus 
shall ye say to him. Thus saith the 
Lord God of Israel, As touching the 
words which thou hast heard ; 

19 Because thy qheart was tender, 
and thou hast ^ humbled thyself be- 
fore the Lord, when thou heardest 
what I spake against this place, and 
against the inhabitants thereof, that 
they should become « a desolation and 
'a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, 
and wept before me ; I also have 
heard thee, saith the Lord. 

20 Behold therefore, I will gather 
thee unto thy fathers, and thou "shalt 
be gathered into thy grave in peace ; 
and thine eyes shall not see all the 
evil which I will bring upon this 
place. And they brought the king 
word again.

to keep his commandments, and his 
testimonies, and his statutes, with all 
their heart, and all their soul, to per- 
form the w^ords of this covenant that 
were written in this book. And all

second order, and the keepers of the 
door, to bring forth out of the temple 
of the Lord all the vessels that were 
made for Baal, and for ^ the grove,

Judah had ordained to burn incense

Judah, and in the places round about 
Jerusalem ; them also that burned 
incense unto Baal, to the sun, and 
to the moon, and to the || planets,

cast the powder thereof upon s the

Hinnom, P that no man might make 
his son or his daughter to pass 
through the fire to Molech. 

1 1 And he took away the horses 
lat the kings of Judah had given 

to the sun, at the entering in of the 
house of the Lord, by the chamber 
of Nathan-melech the |1 chamberlain, 
which was in the suburbs, and burn- 
ed the chariots of the sun with fire. 

12 And the altars that were i on the 
top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, 
which the kings of Judah had made, 
and the altars which ■■ IManasseh had 
made in the two courts of the house 
of the Lord, did the king beat down, 
and II brake them down from thence, 
and cast the dust of them into the 
brook Kidron. 

13 And the high places that were 
before Jerusalem, which icei-e on the 
right hand of || the mount of Cor- 
ruption, which ^ Solomon the king 
of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth 
the abomination of the Zidonians, 
and for Chemosh the abomination of 
the Moabites, and for Milcom the 
abomination of the children of Am- 
nion, did the king defile. 

14 And he t brake in pieces the 
t images, and cut down the groves, 
and filled their places with the bones 
of men. 

15 H Moreover, the altar that was 
at Beth-el, and the high place "which 
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who 
made Israel to sin, had made, both 
that altar and the high place he 
brake down, and burned the high 
place, ajid stamped it small to pow- 
der, and burned the grove. 

16 And as Josiah turned himself, he 
spied the sepulchres that were there 
in the mount, and sent, and took the 
bones out of the sepulchres, and burn- 
ed them upon the altar, and polluted 
it, according to the ^ word of the Lord 
which the man of God proclaimed, 
who proclaimed these w ords. 

17 Then he said, What title is that 
that I see ? And the men of the city 
told him, It is )' the sepulchre of the 
man of God, which came from Judah, 
and proclaimed these things that thou 
hast done against the altar of Beth-el. 

18 And he said, Let him alone; let 
no man move his bones. So they let 
his bones f alone, with the bones of

maria. 

19 And all the houses also of the 
high places that were ^in the cities of 
Samaria, which the kings of Israel 
had made to provoke the LORD to 
anger, Josiah took away, and did to 
them according to all the acts that 
he had done in Beth-el. 

20 And bhe |i'=slew all the priests 
of the high places that were there 
upon the altars, and '^ burned men's 
bones upon them, and returned to 
Jerusalem. 

21 *1I And the king commanded all 
the people, saying, ''Keep the pass- 
over unto the Lord your God, f as zi is 
written in the book of this covenant. 

22 Surely ? there was not holden 
such a passover from the days of the 
judges that judged Israel, nor in all 
the days of the kings of Israel, nor 
of the kings of Judah; 

23 But in the eighteenth year of 
king Josiah, wherein this passover 
was holden to the Lord in Jeru- 
salem. 

24 ^Moreover, ''the workers with 
familiar spirits, and the wizards, and 
the II images, and the idols, and all 
the abominations that were spied in 
the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, 
did Josiah put away, that he might 
perform the words of 'the law which 
were written in the book that Hil- 
kiah the priest found in the house of 
the Lord. 

25 "^And like unto him was there 
no king before him, that turned to 
the Lord with all his heart, and with 
all his soul, and with all his might, 
according to all the law of Moses ; 
neither after him arose there any 
like him. 

26 ^ Notwithstanding, the Lord 
turned not from the fierceness of 
his great wrath, wherewith his anger 
was kindled against Judah, 'because 
of all the f provocations that Manas- 
seh had provoked him withal. 

27 And the Lord said, I will re- 
move Judah also out of my sight, as 
•"I have removed Israel, and will 
cast off this city Jerusalem which I 
have chosen, and the house of which 
I said, ^ My name shall be there.

Josiah slain in battle.

29 H "^ In his days Pharaoh-nechoh 
king of Egypt went up against the 
king of Assyria to the river Euphra- 
tes : and king Josiah went against 
him ; and he slew him at P Megiddo, 
when he i had seen him. 

30 ■■ And his servants carried him in 
a chariot dead from Megiddo, and 
brought him to Jerusalem, and bu- 
ried him in his own sepulchre. And 
^the people of the land took Jehoahaz 
the son of Josiah, and anointed him, 
and made him king in his father's 
stead. 

31 ^11 Jehoahaz was twenty and 
three years old when he began to 
reign ; and he reigned three months 
in Jerusalem. And his mother's 
name was ^Hamutal, the daughter 
of Jeremiah of Libnah. 

32 And he did that which was evil 
in the sight of the Lord, according 
to all that his fathers had done. 

33 And Pharaoh-nechoh put him 
in bands ^ at Riblah in the land of 
Hamath, || that he might not reign 
in Jerusalem ; and fput the land to 
a tribute of a hundred talents of 
silver, and a talent of gold. 

34 And "f Pharaoh-nechoh made 
Eliakim the son of Josiah king in 
the room of Josiah his father, and 
y turned hisname to ^Jehoiakim, and 
took Jehoahaz away: 'land he came 
to Egypt, and died there. 

35 And Jehoiakim gave ''the silver 
and the gold to Pharaoh; but he 
taxed the land to give the money 
according to the commandment of 
Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and 
the gold of the people of the land, of 
every one according to his taxation, 
to give it unto Pharaoh-nechph. 

36 "H c Jehoiakim was twenty and 
five years old when he began to 
reign ; and he reigned eleven years 
in Jerusalem. And his mother's 
name was Zebudah, the daughter of 
Pedaiah of Rumah. 

37 And he did that which was evil 
in the sight of the Lord, according

1 Jehoiakim, first subdued by Nebuchadnezzar, 
then rebelling against him, procureth his own 
ruin. 5 Jehoiachiu succeedeth hint. 7 The king 
of Egypt is vanquished by the king of Babylon.

Jerusalem is besieged 

8 JehoiachirCs evil reign. 10 Jerusalem is 
taken and carried captite into Babylon. 17 Ze- 
dekiah is made king, and reigneih ill unto the 
litter destruction of Judah. * 

IN ^ his days Nebuchadnezzar king 
of Babylon came up, and Jehoia- 
kim became his servant three years : 
then he turned and rebelled against 
him. 

2 ^And the Lord sent against him 
bands of the Chaldees, and bands of 
the Syrians, and bands of the Moab 
ites, and bands of the children of 
Ammon, and sent them against Ju- 
dah to destroy it, = according to the 
word of the Lord, which he spake 
f by his servants the prophets. 

3 Surely at the commandment of 
the Lord came tfiis upon Judah, to 
remove them out of his sight, "^ for 
the sins of Manasseh, according to 
all that he did ; 

4 "= And also for the innocent blood 
that he shed, (for he filled Jerusalem 
with innocent blood,) which the Lord 
would not pardon. 

5 IT Now the rest of the acts of Je- 
hoiakim, and all that he did, are they 
not written in the book of the Chro- 
nicles of the kings of Judah ? 

6 f So Jehoiakim slept with his fa- 
thers 
ed in his stead. 

7 And ?the king of Eg\-pt came not 
again any more out of his land : for 
^ the king of Babylon had taken from 
the river of Egypt unto the river Eu- 
phrates all that pertained to the king 
of Egypt. 

8 Tl II ' Jehoiachin u'aseighteen years 
old when he began to reign, and he 
reigned in Jerusalem three months. 
And his mother's name was Nehush- 
ta, the daughter of Elnathan of Je- 
rusalem. 

9 And he did that which was evil 
in the sight of the Lord, according 
to all that his father had done. 

10 H •'At that time the servants of 
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon 
came up against Jerusalem, and the 
city t was besieged. 

] 1 And Nebuchadnezzar king of 
Babylon came against the city, and 
his servants did besiege it.

^fourth month the famine prevailed 
in the city, and there was no bread 
for the people of the land.

by the way of the gate between two 
walls, which is by the king's garden :

city round about ;) and <• the king 
went the way toward the plain.

him in the plains of Jericho : and 
all his army were scattered from him.

16 The two pillars, f one sea, and

17 *The height of the one pillar

to the king of Babylon to Riblah : 

21 And the king of Babylon smote 
them, and slew them at Riblah in the 
land of Hamath. <= So Judah was car-

mained in the land of Judah, whom 
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had 
left, even over them he made Geda-

Gedaliah governor,there came to Ge-

and to their men, and said unto them, 
Fear not to be the servants of the 
Chaldees: dwell in the land, and 
serve the king of Babylon, and it 
shall be well with you. 

25 But fit came to pass in the se-

the seed f royal, came, and ten men 
with him, and smote Gedaliah, that 
he died, and the Jews and the Chal-

CHRONICLES. The chief men of Gad. 

pilneser king of Assyria carried away 
captive : he was prince of the Reu- 
benites. 

7 And his brethren by their fami- 
lies, (swhen the genealogy of their 
generations was reckoned,) were the 
chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, 

8 And Bela the son of Azaz, the 
son of II Shema, the sonof Joel, who 
dwelt in ^Aroer, even unto Nebo, and 
Baal-meon : 

9 And eastward he inhabited unto 
the entering in of the wilderness from 
the river Euphrates : because their 
cattle were multiplied 'in the land of 
Gilead. 

10 And in the days of Saul they 
made war ^^with the Hagarites, who 
fell by their hand : and they dwelt in 
their tents f throughout all the east 
land of Gilead. 

1 1 TI And the children of Gad dwelt 
over against them, in the land of 
'Bashan unto Salcah : 

12 Joel the chief, and Shapham 
the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat 
in Bashan. 

13 And their brethren of the house 
of their fathers were, Michael, and 
Meshullam,and Sheba,and Jorai,and 
Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven. 

14 These are the children of Abi- 
hail the son of Huri, the son of Ja- 
roah, the son of Gilead, the son of 
Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son 
of Jahdo, the son of Buz ; 

15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son 
of Guni, chief of the house of their 
fathers. 

16 And they dwelt in Gilead in Ba- 
shan, and in her towns, and in all 
the suburbs of ""Sharon, upon f their 
borders. 

17 All these were reckoned by ge- 
nealogies in the days of ""Jotham 
king of Judah, and in the day^ of 
"Jeroboam king of Israel. 

18 IT The sons of Reuben, and the 
Gadites, and half the tribe of Manas- 
seh, fof valiant men, men able to 
bear buckler and sword, and to shoot 
with bow, and skilful in war, were 
four and forty thousand seven hun- 
dred and threescore, that went out to 
the war. 

19 And they made war with the 
Hagarites, with pJetur, and Ne- 
phish, and Nodab.

20 And q they were helped against 
them, and the Hagarites were de- 
livered into their hand, and all that 
were with them : for they cried to 
God in the battle, and he was entreat- 
ed of them ; because they ^ put their 
trust in him. 

21 And they f took away their cat- 
tle ; of their camels fifty thousand, 
and of sheep two hundred and fifty 
thousand, and of asses two thou- 
sand, and of f men a hundred thou- 
sand. 

22 For there fell down many slain, 
because the war was of God. And 
they dwelt in their steads until ^ the 
captivity. 

23 U And the children of the half- 
tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land : 
they increased from Bashan unto 
Baal-hermon and Senir, and unto 
mount Hermon. 

24 And these were the heads of the 
house of their fathers, even Epher, 
and Ishi, and Ehel, and Azriel, and 
Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jah- 
diel, mighty men of valour, f famous 
men, an^ heads of the house of their 
fathers. 

25 UAnd they transgressed against 
the God of their fathers, and went a 
t whoring after the gods of the peo- 
ple of the land, whom God destroyed 
before them. 

26 And the God of Israel stirred 
up the spirit of "Pul king of Assy- 
ria, and the spirit of ^ Tilgath-pil- 
neser king of Assyria, and he carried 
them away, even the Reubenites, and 
the Gadites, and the half-tribe of 
Manasseh, and brought them unto 
y Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and 
to the river Gozan, unto this day.

Saul's overthrow and death. 

NOW "^the Philistines fought a- 
gainst Israel ; and the men of 
Israel fled from before the Philis- 
tines, and fell down H slain in mount 
Gilboa. 

2 And the Philistines followed hard 
after Saul, and after his sons ; and 
the Philistines slew Jonathan, and 
II Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the 
sons of Saul. 

3 And the battle went sore against 
Saul, and the f archers -j- hit him, and 
he was wounded of the archers. 

4 Then said Saul to his armour- 
bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust 
me through therewith, lest these un- 
circumcised come and || abuse me. 
But his armour-bearer would not ; 
for he was sore afraid. So Saul took 
a sword, and fell upon it. 

5 And when his armour-bearer 
saw that Saul was dead, he fell like- 
wise on the sword, and died. 

6 So Saul died, and his three sons, 
and all his house died together. 

7 And when all the men of Israel 
that were in the valley saw that they 
fled, and that Saul and his sons were 
dead, then they forsook their cities, 
and fled : and the Philistines came 
and dwelt in them. 

8 H And it came to pass on the 
morrow, when the Philistines came to 
strip the slain, that they found Saul 
and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa. 

9 And when they had stripped him, 
they took his head, and his armour, 
and sent into the land of the Philis- 
tines round about, to carry tidings 
lunto their idols, and to the people. 

10 ^ And they put his armour in 
the house of their gods, and fastened 
his head in the temple of Dagon. 

11 TI And when all Jabesh-gilead 
heard all that the Philistines had done 
to Saul, 

12 They arose, all the valiant men, 
and took away the body of Saul, and 
the bodies of his sons, and brought 
them to Jabesh, and buried their 
bones under the oak in Jabesh, and 
fasted seven days. 

13 II So Saul died for his transgres- 
sion which he f committed against 
the Lord, '^even against the word of 
the Lord, which he kept not, and also 
for asking counsel of one that had a 
familiar spirit, '• to inquire of it ;

David made king at Hebron. I. CHRONICLE 

14 And inquired not of the Lord : 
therefore he slew him, and ^ turned 
the kingdom unto David the son of 
f Jesse. 

CHAP. XL 

1 David by a general consent is made Hng at He- 
bron. 4 He winneth the castle of Zion from the 
Jebusites by JoaVs valour. 10 A catalogue of 
David! s mighty men. 

THEN a all Israel gathered them- 
selves to David unto Hebron, 
saying. Behold, w^e are thy bone and 
thy flesh. 

2 And moreover fin time past, even 
when Saul was king, thou wast he 
that leddest out and broughtest in 
Israel : and the Lord thy God said 
unto thee. Thou shalt || ^ feed my 
people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler 
over my people Israel. 

3 Therefore came all the elders of 
Israel to the king to Hebron ; and 
David made a covenant with them in 
Hebron before the Lord ; and ^they 
anointed David king over Israel, ac- 
cording to the word of the Lord f by 
^ Samuel. 

4 ^ And David and all Israel ^ went 
to Jerusalem, which is Jebus ; ^where 
the Jebusites loere, the inhabitants of 
the land. 

5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said 
to David, Thou shalt not come hither. 
Nevertheless David took the castle of 
Zion, which is the city of David. 

6 And David said. Whosoever smi 
teth the Jebusites first shall be f chief 
and captain. So Joab the son of Ze- 
ruiah went first up, and was chief. 

7 And David dwelt in the castle ; 
therefore they called 1| it. The city of 
David. 

8 And he built the city round about, 
even from Millo round about : and 
Joab f repaired the rest of the city. 

9 So David f waxed greater and 
greater : for the Lord of hosts was 
with him. 

10 T[& These also are the chief of 
the mighty men whom David had, 
who II strengthened themselves with

S. David's mighty men, 

against three hundred slain by him 
at one time. 

12 And after him was Eleazar the 
son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was 
one of the three mighties. 

13 He was with David at |lPas-dam- 
mim, and there the Philistines were 
gathered together to battle, where 
was a parcel of ground full of bar- 
ley ; and the people fled from before 
the Philistines. 

14 And they || set themselves m 
the midst of that parcel, and deli- 
vered it, and slew the Philistines; 
and the Lord saved them by a great 
II deliverance. 

15 TINow II three of the thirty cap- 
tains 'went down to the rock to Da- 
vid, into the cave of Adullam ; and 
the host of the Philistines encamped 
^ in the valley of Rephaim. 

16 And David was then in the hold, 
and the Philistines' garrison was then 
at Beth-lehem. 

17 And David longed, and said. Oh 
that one would give me drink of the 
water of the well of Beth-lehem, that 
is at the gate ! 

18 And the three brake through 
the host of the Philistines, and drew 
water out of the well of Beth-lehem, 
that was by the gate, and took it, 
and brought it to David : but David 
would not drink of it, but poured it 
out to the Lord, 

19 And said, My God forbid it me, 
that I should do this thing: shall I 
drink the blood of these men ] that 
have put their lives in jeopardy ? for 
with the jeopardy 0/ their lives they 
brought it. Therefore he would not 
drink it. These things did these 
three mightiest. 

20 I'And Abishai the brother of 
Joab, he was chief of the three : for 
lifting up his spear against three hun- 
dred, he slew them, and had a name 
among the three. 

21 ""Of the three, he was more ho- 
nourable than the two ; for he was 
their captain : howbeit he attained 
not unto the first three. 

22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, 
the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, 
f who had done many acts; "he 
slew two lion-like men of Moab • 
also he went down and slew a lion 
in a pit in a snowy day.

to David to ^Ziklag, f while 
he yet kept himself close because of 
Saul the son of Kish : and they were 
among the mighty men, helpers of 
the war. 

2 They were armed with bows, and 
could use both the right hand and 
<= the left in hurling stones, and shoot- 
ing arrows out of a bow, even of

3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Jo-

14 These were of the sons of Gad, 
captains of the host : || one of the 
least was over a hundred, and the 
greatest over a thousand. 

15 These are they that went over 
Jordan in the first month, \f\\en it 
had '(" overflown all his <^ banks ; and 
they put to flight all them of the 
valleys, both toward the east, and to- 
ward the west. 

16 And there came of the children 
of Benjamin and Judah to the hold 
unto David. 

17 And David went out f to meet 
them, and answered and said unto 
them. If ye be come peaceably unto 
me to help me, my heart shall f be 
knit unto you : but if ye he come to 
betray me to mine enemies, seeing 
there is no || wrong in my hands, the 
God of our .fathers look thereon, SiVidi 
rebuke it. 

18 Then fthe spirit came upon f A- 
masai, who was chief of the captains, 
and he said, Thine are we, David, and 
on thy side, thou son of Jesse : peace, 
peace he unto thee, and peace he to 
thy helpers ; for thy God helpeth 
thee. Then David received them, 
and made them captains of the band. 

19 And thei-e fell some of Manasseh 
to David, g when he came with the 
Philistines against Saul to battle : 
but they helped them not : for the 
lords of the Philistines upon advise- 
ment sent him away, saying, i^He 
will fall to his master Saul \ to the 
jeopardy of onv heads. 

20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell 
to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jo- 
zabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and 
Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, cap- 
tains of the thousands that were of 
Manasseh. 

21 And they helped David || against 
' the band of the rovers : for they 
were all mighty men of valour, and 
were captains in the host. 

22 For at that time day by day 
there came to David to help him, 
until it was a great host, like the 
host of God. 

23 1 And these are the numbers of 
the II t bands that were ready armed 
to the war, and ^ came to David to 
Hebron, to ^turn the kingdom of

wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep 
abundantly : for there was joy in Is-

1 David fetcheih the ark with great solemnity 
from Kirjatk-jearim. 9 Vzza hein^ smilten, 
the ark is left at the house of Obed-edom. 

ND David consulted with the 
captains of thousands, and hun- 
dreds, and with every leader. 

2 And David said unto all the con- 
gregation of Israel, If it seem good 
unto you, and that it he of the Lord 
our God, flet us send abroad unto 
our brethren every where, that are 
^left in all the land of Israel, and 
with them also to the priests and 
Levites which are j- in their cities and 
suburbs, that they may gather them- 
selves unto us: 

3 And let us f bring again the ark 
of our God to us : ^ for Me inquired 
not at it in the days of Saul. 

4 And all the congregation said that 
they would do so: for the thing was 
right in the eyes of all the people. 

5 So <= David gathered all Israel to- 
gether, from '' Shihor of Egypt even 
unto the entering of nemath,to bring 
the ark of God * from Kirjath-jearim. 

6 And David went up, and all Is- 
rael, to ffiaalah, that is, to Kirjath- 
jearim, which belonged to Judah, to 
bring up thence the ark of God the 
Lord, ethat dwelleth between the 
cherubims, whose name is called on it. 

7 And they f carried the ark of God 
hin a new cart 'out of the house of 
Abinadab: and Uzzaand Ahio drave 
the cart. 

8 I' And David and all Israel played 
before God with all /Aefr might, and 
with t singing, and with harps, and 
with psalteries, and with timbrels, 
and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

10 And the anger of the Lord was

called II Perez-uzza to this daj'. 

12 And David was afraid of God 
that day, saying. How shall I bring

13 So David j brought not the ark 
home to himself to the city of David, 
but carried it aside into the house of

11 So they came up to Baal-pera-

Then David said, God hath broken 
ia upon mine enemies by my hand 
like the breaking forth of waters: 
therefore they called the name of 
that place ||Baal-perazim. 

12 And when they had left their 
gods there, David gave a command- 
ment, and they were burned with 
fire. 

13 ^And the Philistines yet again 
spread themselves abroad in the val- 
ley. 

14 Therefore David inquired again 
of God : and God said unto him, Go 
not up after them ; turn away from 
them, fand come upon them over 
against the mulberry-trees. 

15 And it shall be, when thou shalt 
hear a sound of going in the tops of 
the mulberry-trees, that then thou 
shalt go out to battle : for God is 
gone forth before thee, to smite the 
host of the Philistines. 

16 David therefore did as God com- 
manded him : and they smote the 
host of the Phihstines fromffGibeon 
even to Gazer.

out into all lands ; and the Lord

chosen to carry the ark of God, and 
to minister unto him for ever.

vites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, 
Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Ammina- 
dab, 

12 And said unto them. Ye are the 
chief of the fathers of the Levites : 
sanctify yourselves, both ye and your 
brethren, that ye may bring up the 
ark of the Lord God of Israel unto 
the place that I have prepared for it. 

13 For f because ye did it not at 
the first, s the Lord our God made 
a breach upon us, for that we sought 
him not after the due order. 

14 So the priests and the Levites 
sanctified themselves to bring up the 
ark of the Lord God of Israel. 

15 And the children of the Le- 
vites bare the ark of God upon their 
shoulders with the staves thereon, 
as ''Moses commanded, according to 
the word of the Lord. 

16 And David spake to the chief of 
the Levites to appoint their brethren 
to be the singers with instruments 
of music, psalteries, and harps, and 
cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the 
voice with joy. 

17 So the Levites appointed 'He- 
man the son of Joel ; and of his bre- 
thren, "^ Asaph the son of Berechiah; 
and of the sons of Merari their bre- 
thren, 'Ethan the son of Kushaiah ; 

18 And with them their brethren of 
the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, 
and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and 
Jehiel,andUnni, EHab, and Benaiah, 
and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and 
Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed- 
edom, and Jeiel, the porters. 

19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, 
and Ethan, were appointed to sound 
with cymbals of brass ;

Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps || on 
the Sheminith to excel. 

22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Le- 
vites, \\was for f song: he instructed 
about the song, because he it)as skilful. 

23 AndBerechiahandElkanahii'cre

24 And Shebaniah, and Jehosha- 
phat, and Nethaneel, and Ainasai, 
and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and E- 
liezer, the priests, °did blow with the 
trumpets before the ark of God : and 
Obed-edom and Jehiah were door- 
keepers for the ark. 

25 H So oDavid and the elders of 
Israel, and the captains over thou- 
sands, went to bring up the ark of 
the covenant of the Lord out of the 
house of Obed-edom with joy. 

26 And it came to pass, when God 
helped the Levites that bare the ark 
of the covenant of the Lord, that 
they offered seven bullocks and se- 
ven rams. 

27 And David was clothed with a 
robe of fine linen, and all the Levites 
that bare the ark, and the singers, and 
Chenaniah the master of the || song 
with the singers: David also Aarf up- 
on him an ephod of linen. 

28 PThus all Israel brought up the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord with 
shouting, and with sound of the cor- 
net, and with trumpets, and with 
cymbals, making a noise with psalte- 
ries and harps. 

29 li And it came to pass, las the 
ark ofthe covenant of the Lord came 
to the city of David, that Michal the 
daughter of Saul looking out at a 
window saw king David dancing and 
playing: and she despised him in 
her heart.

David's psalm of thanksgiving . 

2 And when David had made an 
end of offering the burnt-offerings 
and the peace-oflferings, he blessed 
the people in the name of the Lord. 

3 And he dealt to every one of Is- 
rael, both man and woman, to every 
one a loaf of bread, and a good 
piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. 

4 TI And he appointed certain of the 
Levites to minister before the ark 
of the Lord, and to ''record, and 
to thank and praise the Lord God 
of Israel : 

5 Asaph the chief, and next to him 
Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, 
and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eli- 
ab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: 
and Jeiel f with psalteries and with 
harps ; but Asaph made a sound with 
cymbals ; 

6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the 
priests with trumpets continually be- 
fore the ark ofthe covenant of God. 

7 11 Then on that day David deli- 
vered "^ first this psalm to thank the 
Lord, into the hand of Asaph and his 
brethren. 

8 <*Give thanks unto the Lord, call 
upon his name, make known his 
deeds among the people. 

9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto 
him, talk ye of all his wondrous works . 

10 Glory ye in his holy name : let 
the heart of them rejoice that seek 
the Lord. 

11 Seek the Lord and his strength, 
seek his face continually. 

12 Remember his marvellous works 
that he hath done, his wonders, and 
the judgments of his mouth ; 

13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, 
ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. 

14 He is the Lord our God; his 
judgments are in all the earth. 

15 Be ye mindful always of his co- 
venant ; the word which he command- 
ed to a thousand generations ; 

16 Even of the '^ covenant which he 
made with Abraham, and of his oath 
unto Isaac; 

17 And hath confirmed the same 
to Jacob, for a law, and to Israel^or 
an everlasting covenant, 

18 Saying, L^nto thee will I give 
the land of Canaan, f the lot of your 
inheritance ; 

19 When ye were but f few, ^ even 
a few, and strangers in it.

David's psalm of thanksgiving. I. 

20 And when they went from na- 
tion to nation, and from one kingdom 
to another people ; 

21 He suffered no man to do them 
wrong : yea, he e reproved kings for 
their sakes, 

22 Saying, h Touch not mine an- 
ointed, and do my prophets no harm. 

23 ' Sing unto the Lord, all the 
earth ; shew forth from day to day 
his salvation. 

24 Declare his glory among the 
heathen ; his marvellous works a- 
mong all nations. 

25 For great is the Lord, and 
greatly to be praised : he also is to 
be feared above all gods. 

26 For all the gods ^ of the people 
are idols : but the Lord made the 
heavens. 

27 Glory and honour are in his 
presence ; strength and gladness are 
in his place. 

28 Give unto the Lord, ye kin- 
dreds of the people, give unto the 
Lord glory and strength. 

29 Give unto the Lord the glory 
due unto his name : bring an offer- 
ing, and come before him : worship 
the Lord in the beauty of holiness. 

30 Fear before him, all the earth: 
thf world also shall be stable, that it 
be not moved. 

31 Let the heavens be glad, and let 
the earth rejoice : and let men say 
among the nations, The Lord reign- 
eth. 

32 Let the sea I'oar, and the fulness 
thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all 
that is therein. 

33 Then shall the trees of the wood 
sing out at the presence of the Lord, 
because hecomethto judge the earth. 

34 1 give thanks unto the Lord ; 
for he is good ; for his mercy endur- 
eth for ever. 

35 "> And say ye, Save us, O God of 
our salvation, and gather us together, 
and deliver us from the heathen, that 
we may give thanks to thy holy name, 
and glory in thy praise. 

36 " Blessed be the Lord God of 
Israel for ever and ever. And all 
° the people said. Amen, and praised 
the Lord.

to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell

under curtains. 

2 Then Nathan said unto David, 
Do all that is in thy heart ; for God 
is with thee. 

3 TI And it came to pass the same 
night, that the word of God came to 
Nathan, saying, 

4 Go and tell David my servant, 
Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not 
build me a house to dwell in : 

5 For I have not dwelt in a house 
since the day that I brought up Is- 
rael unto this day : but t have gone 
from tent to tent, and from one ta-

to feed my people, saying, Why have 
ye not buih me a house of cedars ? 

7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say 
unto my servant David, Thus saith 
the Lord of hosts, I took thee from 
the sheep-cote, even f from following 
the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler 
over my people Isi'ael : 

8 And I have been with thee whi- 
thersoever thou hast walked, and 
have cut off all thine enemies from 
before thee, and have made thee a 
name like the name of the great men 
that are in the earth. 

9 Also I will ordain a place for my 
people Israel, and will plant them, 
and they shall dwell in their place, 
and shall be moved no more ; nei- 
ther shall the children of wickedness 
waste them any more, as at the be- 
ginning, 

10 And since the time that I com- 
manded judges lo he over my people 
Israel. Moreover, I will subdue all 
thine enemies. Furthermore, I tell 
thee that the Lord will build thee 
a house. 

11^ And it shall come to pass,when 
thy days be expired that thou must 
go to he with thy fathers, that I will 
raise up thy seed after thee, which 
shall be of thy sons ; and I will esta- 
blish his kingdom. 

12 He shall build me a house, and 
I will establish his throne for ever. 

13 ''I will be his father, and he shall 
be my son : and I will not take my 
mercy away from him, as I took it 
from liim that was before thee : 

14 But '^ I will settle him in my 
house and in my kingdom for ever: 
and his throne shall be established 
for evermore. 

15 According to all these words, 
and according to all this vision, so 
did Nathan speak unto David. 

16 Tl <• And David the king came 
and sat before the Loud, and said, 
Who am I, O Lord God, and what 
is my house, that thou hast brought 
me hitherto ? 

17 And yet this was a small thing 
in thine eyes, O God ; for thou hast 
also spoken of thy servant's house for

let the house of David thy servant be

4 And David took from him a thou-

horsemen, and twenty thousand foot- 
men: David also houghed all the cha- 
Yiot-horses, but reserved of them a 
hundred chariots. 

5 And when the Syrians of f Da- 
mascus came to help Hadarezer king 
of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians 
two and twenty thousand men. 

6 Then David put garrisons in Sy- 
ria-damascus ; and the Syrians be- 
came David's servants, and brought 
gifts. Thus the Lord preserved Da- 
vid whithersoever he went. 

7 And David took the shields of gold 
*hat were on the servants of Hadare- 
zer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 

8 Likewise from || Tibhath, and from 
Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought 
David very much brass, wherewith 
•= Solomon made the brazen sea, and 
the pillars, and the vessels of brass. 

9 •[[ Now when || Tou king of Ha-

1 David's messengers, sent to comfort Hanun the 
son of Nahash, are •eillanonsly entreated. 6 The 
Ammonites, strengthened by the Syrians, are 
overcome by Joab and Abishai. 16 Shophach, 
making a netv supply of the Syrians, is slain 
by David. 

NOW =^it came to pass after this, 
that Nahash the king of the 
children of Ammon died, and his 
son reigned in his stead. 

2 And David said, I will shew kind- 
ness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, 
because his father shewed kindness 
to me. And David sent messengers 
to comfort him concerning his fa- 
ther. So the servants of David came 
into the land of the children of Am- 
mon to Hanun, to comfort him. 

3 But the princes of the children of 
Ammon said to Hanun, f Thinkest 
thou that David doth honour thy fa- 
ther, that he hath sent comforters 
unto thee ? are not his servants come 
unto thee for to search, and to over- 
throw, and to spy out the land ? 

4 Wherefore Hanun took David's 
servants, and shaved them, and cut 
off their garments in the midst hard by 
their buttocks, and sent them away. 

5 Then there went certain, and told 
David how the men were served. And 
he sent to meet them : for the men 
were greatly ashamed. And the king 
said. Tarry at Jericho until your 
beards be grown, and then return. 

6 TI And when the children of Am- 
mon saw that they had made them- 
selves t odious to David, Hanun and 
the children of Ammon sent a thou- 
sand talents of silver to hire them 
chariots and horsemen out of Meso- 
potamia, and out of Syria-maachah, 
''and out of Zobah. 

7 So they hired thirty and two thou- 
sand chariots, and the king of Maa- 
chah and his people, who came and 
pitched before Medeba. And the chil- 
dren of Ammon gathered themselves 
together from their cities, and came 
to battle. 

8 And when David heard of it, he 
sent Joab, and all the host of the 
mighty men.

are overcome by Joah and Ahishai. 

9 And the children of Ammon came 
out, and put the battle in an-ay before 
the gate of the city : and the kings 
that were come were by themselves 
in the field. 

10 Now when Joab saw that f the 
battle was set against him before and 
behind, he chose out of all the 
11 choice of Israel, and put them in 
array against the Syrians. 

11 And the rest of the people he 
delivered unto the hand of f Abishai 
his brother, and they set themselves 
in array against the children of Am- 
mon. 

12 And he said, If the Syrians be 
too strong for me, then thou shalt 
help me : but if the children of Am- 
mon be too strong for thee, then I 
will help thee. 

13 Be of good courage, and let us 
behave ourselves valiantly for our 
people, and for the cities of our God : 
and let the Lord do that which is 
good in his sight. 

14 So Joab and the people that 
were with him drew nigh before the 
Syrians unto the battle; and they 
fled before him. 

15 And when the children of Am- 
mon saw that the Syrians were fled, 
they likewise fled before Abishai his

Then Joab came to Jerusalem. 

16 TI And when the Syrians saw that 
they were put to the worse before Is- 
rael, they sent messengers, and drew 
forth the Syrians that were beyond 
the II river: and || Shophach the cap- 
tain of the host of Hadarezer went 
before them. 

17 And it was told David ; and he 
gathered all Israel, and passed over 
Jordan, and came upon them, and 
set the battle in array against them. 
So when David had put the battle in 
array against the Syrians, they 
fought with him. 

18 But the Syrians fled before Is- 
rael ; and David slew of the Syrians 
seven thousand men which fought in 
chariots, and forty thousand footmen, 
and killed Shophach the captain of 
the host. 

19 And when the servants of Hada- 
rezer saw that they were put to the 
worse before Israel, they made peace 
with David, and became his servants :

Rabbah is taken and spoiled. 

neither would the Syrians help the 
children of Ammon any more. 
CHAP. XX. 

Rabbah is besiec^ed by Joab, spoiled by David, 
and the people Ihereof tortured. 4 2'ltree giants 
are slain in three sereral overthrows of the Phi- 
listines. 

ND ^it came to pass, that f after 
the yearwasexpired, atthe time 
that kings go out to battle, Joab led 
forth the power of the army, and 
wasted the country of the children 
of Ammon, and came and besieged 
Rabbah. But David tarried at Jeru- 
salem. And ''Joab smote Rabbah, 
and destroyed it. 

2 And David = took the crown of 
their king from off" his head, and 
found it f to weigh a talent of gold, 
and thei-e were precious stones in it; 
and it was set upon David's head: 
and he brought also exceeding much 
spoil out of the city. 

3 And he brought out the people 
that were in it, and cut them with 
saws, and with harrows of iron, and 
with axes. Even so dealt David with 
all the cities of the children of Am- 
mon. And David and all the people 
returned to Jerusalem. 

4 U And it came to pass after this, 
•^that there || f arose war at ||Gezer 
with the Philistines : at which time 
•= Sibbechaithe Hushathite slew || Sip- 
pai, that was of the children of ||the 
giant: and they were subdued. 

5 And there was war again with the 
Philistines ; and Elhanan the son of 
II Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Go- 
liath the Gittite, whose spear's staff" 
was like a weaver's beam. 

G And yet again ''there was war at 
Gath, where was f a man of great 
stature, whose fingers and toes were 
four and twenty, six on each hand, 
and six on each foot : and he also was 
f the son of the giant. 

7 But when he || defied Israel, Jo- 
nathan the son of || Shimea, David's 
brother, slew him. 

8 These were born unto the giant 
in Gath ; and they fell by the hand 
of David, and by the hand of his ser- 
vants.

thousand, David by repentance preventeih the Before 
destruction of Jerusalem. 18 David, by Gad' s CHRIST 
direction, purchaseth Oman's threshing-floor : 1017. 
where having bvill an altar, God givetli a sign 
of his favour by fire, and sta.yeth the plague. '■!'& 
David sacrificeth there, being restrained from 
Gibeon by fear of the angel. 

ND ^ Satan stood up against Is- 
rael, and provoked David to 
number Israel. ■ 

2 And David said to Joab and to 
the rulers of the people, Go, number 
Israel fromBeer-sheba even to Dan; 
^ and bring the number of them to 
me, that I may know it. 

3 And Joab answered, The Lord 
make his people a hundred times so 
many more as they he: but, my lord 
the king, are they not all my lord's 
servants? why then doth my lord re- 
quire this thing? why will he be a 
cause of trespass to Israel ? 

4 Nevertheless the king's word pre- 
vailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab 
departed, and went throughout all 
Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 

5 ^ And Joab gave the sum of the 
number of the people unto David. 
And all they of Israel were a thou- 
sand thousand and a hundred thou- 
sand men that drew sword : and Ju- 
dah ivasiouY hundred threescore and 
ten thousand men that drew sword. 

6 <= But Levi and Benjamin counted 
he not among them : for the king's 
word was abominable to Joab. 

7 f And God was displeased with 
this thing, therefore he smote Israel. 

8 And David said unto God, ^ I 
have sinned greatly, because I have 
done this thing : ^ but now, I beseech 
thee, do away the iniquity of thy ser- 
vant ; for I have done very foolishly. 

9 "^ And the Lord spake unto Gad, 
David's ^seer, saying, 

10 Go and tell David, saying, Thus 
saith the Lord, I f offer thee three 
things; choose thee one of them, that 
I may do it unto thee. 

1 1 So Gad came to David, and said 
unto him, Thus saith the Lord, 
f Choose thee 

12 sEither three years' famine ; or 
three months to be desti'oyed before 
thy foes, while that the sword of thine 
enemies overtaketh thee ; or else three 
days the sword of the Lord, even the 
pestilence, in the land, and the angel 
of the Lord destroying throughout 
all the coasts of Israel. Now there-

fore advise thyself what word I shall 
bring again to him that sent me. 

13 And David said unto Gad, I am 
in a great strait: let me fall now in- 
to the hand of the Lord; for very 
II great are his mercies: but let me 
not fall into the hand of man. 

14 TI So the Lord sent pestilence 
upon Israel: and there fell of Israel 
seventy thousand men. 

15 And God sent an '' angel unto 
Jerusalem to destroy it : and as he 
was destroying, the Lord beheld, 
and ' he repented him of the evil, and 
said to the angel that destroyed, It 
is enough, stay now thy hand. And 
the angel of the Lord stood by the 
threshing-floor of || Oman the Je- 
busite. 

16 And David lifted up his eyes, 
and ''sawthe angel of the Lord stand 
between the earth and the heaven, 
having a drawn sword in his hand, 
stretched out over Jerusalem. Then 
David and the elders of Israel, who 
were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon 
their faces. 

17 And David said unto God, Is it 
not I that commanded the people to 
be numbered ? even I it is that have 
sinned and done evil indeed ; but as 
/or these sheep, what have they done? 
let thy hand, I pray thee, O Lord 
my God, be on me, and on my fa- 
ther's house ; but not on thy people, 
that they should be plagued. 

18 ^ Then the ^ angel of the Lord 
commanded Gad to say to David, 
that David should go up, and set up 
an altar unto the Lord in the thresh- 
ing-floor of Oman the Jebusite. 

19 And David went up at the say- 
ing of Gad, which he spake in the 
name of the Lord. 

20 II And Oman turned back, and 
saw the angel; and his four sons 
with him hid themselves. Now Or 
nan was threshing wheat. 

21 And as David came to Ornan, 
Oman looked, and saw David, and 
went out of the threshing-floor, and 
bowed himself to David with his face 
to the ground. 

22 Then David said to Ornan, 
t Grant me the place of this thresh- 
ing-floor, that I may build an altar 
therein unto the Lord: thou shalt 
grant it me for the full price: that

23 And Oman said unto David, 
Take it to thee, and let my lord the 
king do that which is good in his 
ej'es : lo, I give thee the oxen also 
for burnt-offerings, and the threshing 
instruments for wood, and the wheat 
for the meat-offering; 1 give it all. 

24 And king David said to Oman, 
Nay ; but I will verily buy it for the 
full price : for I will not take that 
which is thine for the Lord, nor of- 
fer burnt-offerings without cost. 

25 So '"David gave to Oman for 
the place six hundred shekels of gold 
by weight. 

26 And David built there an altar 
unto the Lord, and offered burnt-of- 
ferings and peace:ofierings, and call- 
ed upon the Lord; and "he answer- 
ed him from heaven by fire upon the 
ahar of burnt-offering. 

27 And the Lord commanded the 
angel ; and he put up his sword again 
into*the sheath thereof 

28 T[At that time when David saw 
that the Lord had answered him in 
the threshing-floor of Oman the Je- 
busite, then he sacrificed there. 

29 "For the tabernacle of the Lord, 
which Moses made in the wilderness, 
and the altar of the burnt-ofiering, 
ivere at that season in the high place 
at PGibeon. 

30 But David could not go before 
it to inquire of God : for he was 
afraid because of the sword of the 
angel of the Lord.

His charge to Solomon' 

for the (^Zidonians and they of Tyre 
brought much cedar-wood to David. 

5 And David said, e Solomon my son 
is young and tender, and the house 
that is to be builded for the Lord 
7?zus^&eexceedingmagnifical,of fame 
and of glory throughout all countries: 
I will therefore now make preparation 
for it. So David prepared abundantly 
before his death. 

6 TlThen he called for Solomon his 
son, and charged him to build a 
house for the Lord God of Israel. 

7 And David said to Solomon, My 
son, as for me, Ht was in my mind to 
build a house ?unto the name of the 
Lord my God. 

8 But the word of the Lord came 
to me, saying, ^iThou hast shed 
blood abundantly, and hast made 
great wars : thou shalt not build a 
house unto my name, because thou 
hast shed much blood upon the 
earth in my sight. 

9 'Behold, a son shall be bom to 
thee, who shall be a man of rest ; and 
I will give him "^rest from all his ene- 
mies round about : for his name shall 
be II Solomon, and I will give peace 
and quietness unto Israel in his days. 

10 'He shall build a house for my 
name ; and '"he shall be my son, and 
I 7/77/ be his father; and Lwill esta- 
blish the throne of his kingdom over 
Israel for ever. 

11 Now, my son, "the Lord be 
with thee ; and prosper thou, and 
build the house of the Lord thy 
God, as he hath said of thee. 

12 Only the Lord "give thee wis- 
dom and understanding, and give 
thee charge concerning Israel, that 
thou mayest keep the law of the 
Lord thy God. 

13 PThen shalt thou prosper, if 
thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes 
and judgments which the Lord 
charged Moses with concerning Is- 
rael : ibe strong, and of good cou- 
rage ; dread not, nor be dismayed. 

14 Now behold, ||in my trouble I 
have prepared for the house of the 
Lord a hundred thousand talents of 
gold, and athousand thousand talents 
of silver ; and of brass and iron ■■ with- 
out weight ; for it is in abundance : 
timber also and stone have I prepared; 
and thou mayest add thereto.

16 Of the gold, the silver, and the 
brass, and the iron, the7'e is no num- 
ber. Arise, therefore, and be doing, 
and ^the Lord be with thee. 

17 TI David also commanded all the 
princes of Israel to help Solomon 
his son, saying, 

18 Is not the Lord your God with 
you? "^and hath he tzo^ given you rest 
on every side ? for he hath given the 
inhabitants of the land into my 
hand ; and the land is subdued before 
the Lord, and before his people. 

19 Now "set your heart and your 
soul to seek the Lord your God ; a- 
rise therefore, and build ye the sanc- 
tuary of the Lord God, to ^ bring 
the ark of the covenant of the Lord, 
and the holy vessels of God, into the

' O when David was old and full

2 TI And he gathered together all

and the Levites. 

3 Now the Levites were numbered

These four were the sons of Shimei. 

1 1 And Jahath was the chief, and

king by course, and the captains over

king, II and of his sons, with the || of-

Jerusalem.

upon his feet, and said. Hear me, 
my brethren, and my people : As for 
me, <^I had in my heart to build 
a house of rest for the ark of the 
covenant of the Lord, and for *"the 
footstool of our God, and had made 
ready for the building : 

3 But God said unto me, sThoii 
shalt not build a house fur my 
name, because thou hast been a man 
of war, and hast shed f blood. 

4 Howbeit the Lord God of Israel 
''chose me before all the house of 
my father to be king over Israel for 
ever : for he hath chosen ' Judali to 
be the ruler ; and of the house of Ju- 
dah, i^the house of rny father; and 
' among the sons of my father he liked 
me to make vie king over all Israel : 

5 '"And of all my sons, (for the 
Lord hath given me many sons,) 
"he hath chosen Solomon my son 
to sit upon the throne of the king- 
dom of the Lord over Israel. 

6 And he said unto me, ° Solomon 
thy son, he shall build my house and 
my courts : for I have chosen him to 
be my son, and I will be his father. 

7 Moreover I will establish his 
kingdom for ever, Pif he be f con- 
stant to do my commandments and 
my judgments, as at this day. 

8 Now therefore in the sight of all 
Israel, the congregation of the Lord, 
and in the audience of our God, keep 
and seek for all the commandments

David's instructions to Solomon. I. CHRONICLE 

of the Lord your God : that ye may 
possess this good land, and leave it 
for an inheritance for your children 
after you for ever. 

9 *l[And thou, Solomon my son, 
iknow thou the God of thy father, 
and serve him ''w^ith a perfect heart, 
and with a wilhng mind: for ^the 
Lord searcheth all hearts, and un- 
derstandeth all the imaginations of 
the thoughts : 'if thou seek him, he 
will be found of thee ; but if thou for- 
sake him, he will cast thee off for ever. 

10 Take heed now; " for the Lord 
hath chosen thee to build a house for 
the sanctuary : be strong, and do it. 

11 TfThen David gave to Solomon 
his son ^the pattern of the porch, 
and of the houses thereof, and of the 
treasuries thereof, and of the upper 
chambers thereof, and of the inner 
parlours thereof, and of the place of 
the mercy-seat, 

12 And the pattern f of all that he 
had by the Spirit, of the courts of the 
house of the Lord, and of all the 
chambers round about, yof the trea- 
suries of the house of God, and of the 
treasuries of the dedicated things : 

13 Also for the courses of the priests 
and the Levites, and for all the work 
of the service of the house of the 
Lord, and for all the vessels of ser- 
vice in the house of the Lord. 

14 He gave of gold by weight for 
things of gold, for all instruments of 
all manner of service ; silver also for 
all instruments of silver by weight, 
for all instruments of every kind of 
service : 

15 Even the weight for the candle- 
sticks of gold, and for their lamps of 
gold, by weight for every candlestick, 
and for the lamps thereof: and for 
the candlesticks of silver by weight, 
both for the candlestick, and also for 
the lamps thereof, according to the 
use of every candlestick. 

16 And by weight he gave gold for 
the tables of shew-bread, for every 
table ; and likewise silver for the ta- 
bles of silver : 

17 Also pure gold for the flesh- 
hooks, and the bowls, and the cups 
and for the golden basons he gave 
gold by weight for every bason ; and 
likewise silver by weight for every 
bason of silver :

18 And for the altar of incense re- 
fined gold by weight ; and gold for 
the pattern of the chariot of the ^che- 
rubims, that spread out their wings, 
and covered the ark of the covenant 
of the Lord. 

19 All this, said David, ''the Lord 
made me understand in writing by his 
hand upon me, even all the works of 
this pattern. 

20 And David said to Solomon his 
son, ''Be strong, and of good courage, 
and do it : fear not, nor be dismay- 
ed, for the Lord God, even my God, 
will be with thee ; "he will not fail 
thee, nor forsake thee, until thou 
hast finished all the work for the ser- 
vice of the house of the Lord. 

21 And behold, ^the courses of the 
priests and the Levites, even they 
shall be with thee for all the service 
of the house of God : and there shall 
he with thee for all manner of work- 
manship e every willing skilful man, 
for any manner of service : also the 
princes and all the people will be 
wholly at thy commandment. 

CHAP. XXIX. 

1 David, by his example and entreniy, 6 causetTi 
the princes and people to offer willingly. 10 Da- 
vid's thanksgiving and prayer. 20 The people, 
having blessed God, and sacrificed, make Solo- 
mon king. 26 David's reign, and death. 

FURTHERMORE David the 
king said unto all the congre- 
gation, Solomon my son, whom alone 
God hath chosen, is yet "young and 
tender, and the work is great ; for 
the palace is not for man, but for the 
Lord God. 

2 Now I have prepared with all my 
might for the house of my God the 
gold for things to be made of gold, 
and the silver for things of silver, 
and the brass for things of brass, 
the iron for things of iron, and wood 
for things of wood ; ''onyx-stones, 
and stones to be set, glistering stones, 
and of divers colours, and all manner 
of precious stones, and marble stones 
in abundance. 

3 Moreover, because I have set my 
affection to the house of my God, 1 
have of mine own proper good, ot 
gold and silver, which I have given 
to the house of my God, over and 
above all that I have prepared for 
the holy house,

gold, of the gold of <= Ophir, and seven 
thousand talents of refined silver, to 
overlay the walls of the houses i/;iiAa/; 

5 The gold for tilings of gold, and 
the silver for tilings of silver, and for 
all manner of work to be made by 
the hands of artificers. And who 
then is willing f to consecrate his 
service this day unto the Lord? 

6 1 Then ^ the chief of the fathers 
and princes of the tribes of Israel, 
and the captains of thousands and 
of hundreds, with <=the rulers over the 
king's work, offered willingly, 

7 And gave for the service of the 
house of God of gold five thousand 
talents and ten thousand drams, and 
of silver ten thousand talents, and of 
brass eighteen thousand talents, and 
one hundred thousand talents of iron. 

8 And they with whom precious 
stones were found gave them to the 
treasure of the house of the Lord, by 
the hand of f Jehiel the Gershonite. 

, 9 Then the people rejoiced, for that 
they offered willingly, because with 
perfect heart they g offered willingly 
to the Lord: and David the king 
also rejoiced with great joy. 

10 !■ Wherefore David blessed the 
Lord before all the congregation: 
and David said, Blessed be thou, 
Lord God of Israel our father, for 
ever and ever. 

11 ^ Thine, O Lord, is the great- 
ness, and the power, and the glory, 
and the victory, and the majesty: 
for all that is in the heaven and in 
the earth is thine ; thine is the king- 
dom, O Lord, and thou art exalted 
as head above all. 

12 'Both riches and honour come 
of thee, and thou reignest over all; 
and in thy hand is power and might; 
and in thy hand it is to make great, 
and to give strength unto all. 

13 Now therefore, our God, we 
thank thee, and praise thy glorious 

' name, 

14 But who am I, and what is my 
people, that we should f be able to 

jjoflfer so willingly after this sort? for 
' all things come of thee, and ■\ of thine 
own have we given thee. 

15 For ''we are strangers before thee, 
and sojourners, astuere all our fathers : 
' our days on the earth are as a sha- 
dow, and there is none f abiding.

16 O Lord our God, all this store 
that we have prepared to build thee 
a house for thy holy name cometh of 
thy hand, and is all thine own. 

171 know also, my God, that thou 
™ triest the heart, and "hast pleasure 
in uprightness. As for me, in the up- 
rightness of my heart I have willing- 
ly offered all these things : and now 
have I seen with joy thy people, 
which are 1| present here, to offer 
willingly unto thee. 

18 Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, 
and of Israel, our fathers, keep this 
for ever in the imagination of the 
thoughts of the heart of thy peo- 
ple, and |] prepare their heart unto 
thee: 

19 And "give unto Solomon my son 
aperfect heart, to keep thy command- 
ments, thy testimonies, and thy sta- 
tutes, and to do all these things, and 
to build the palace, /or the which pI 
have made provision. 

20 *TI And David said to all the con- 
gregation, Now bless the Lord your 
God. And all the congregation bless- 
ed the Lord God of their fathers, and 
bowed down their heads, and wor- 
shipped the Lord, and the king. 

21 And they sacrificed sacrifices un- 
to the Lord, and offered burnt-offer- 
ings unto the Lord, on the morrow 
after that day, even a thousand bul- 
locks, a thousand rams, and a thou- 
sand lambs, with their drink-offer- 
ings, and sacrifices in abandance for 
all Israel : 

22 And did eat and drink before the 
Lord on that day with great glad- 
ness. And they made Solomon the 
son of David king the second time, 
and q anointed him unto the Lord 
to be the chief governor, and Zadok 
to be priest. 

23 Then Solomon sat on the throne 
of the Lord as king instead of Da- 
vid his father, and prospered; and 
all Israel obeyed him. 

24 And all the princes, and the migh- 
ty men, and all the sons likewise of 
king David, "■ -f- submitted themselves 
unto Solomon the king. 

25 And the Lord magnified Solo- 
mon exceedingly in the sight of all 
Israel, and ^ bestowed upon him such 
royal majesty as had not been on any 
king before him in Israel

1 TTie solemn offering of Solomon at Gibeon. 
7 Solomon's choice ijy icisdom is blessed by God. 
13 Solomon's strength a?id wealth. 

AND ^Solomon the son of David 
was strengthened in his king- 
dom, and b the Lord his God vms 
with him, and <= magnified him ex- 
ceedingly. 

2 Then Solomon spake unto all Is- 
rael, to ^ihe captains of thousands 
and of hundreds, and to the judges, 
and to every governor in all Israel, 
the chief of the fathers. 

3 So Solomon, and all the congrega- 
tion with him, went to the high place 
that was at ^ Gibeon; for there was 
the tabernacle of the congregation of 
God, which Moses the servant of the 
Lord had made in the wilderness. 

4 ffiut the ark of God had David 
brought up from Kirjath-jearim to 
the place which David had prepared 
for it : for he had pitched a tent for 
it at Jerusalem. 

5 Moreover, sthe brazen altar, that 
*iBezaleel the son of Uri, the son of 
Hur, had made, || he put before the 
tabernacle of the Lord: and Solo- 
mon and the congregation sought 
unto it. 

6 And Solomon went up thither to 
the brazen altar before the Lord, 
which was at the tabernacle of the 
congregation, and 'offered a thou- 
sand burnt-offerings upon it. 

7 TI "^In that night did God appear 
unto Solomon, and said unto him, 
Ask what I shall give thee. 

8 And Solomon said unto God, 
Thou hast shewed great mercy unto

10 "Give me now wisdom and

can judge this thy people, that is so 
great? 

11 pAnd God said to Solomon, 
Because this was in thy heart, and 
thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or 
honour, nor the life of thine enemies, 
neither yet hast asked long life ; but 
hast asked wisdom and knowledge 
for thyself, that thou mayest judge

ed unto thee ; and I will give thee 
riches, and wealth, and honour, such 
as qnone of the kings have had that 
have been before thee, neither shall

journey to the high place that was 
at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before 
the tabernacle of the congregation, 
and reigned over Israel.

and horsemen : and he had a thou-

twelve thousand horsemen, which he 
placed in the chariot-cities, and with 
the king at Jerusalem. 

15 ^And the king f made silver and

2 And '^ Solomon told out threescore 
and ten thousand men to bear bur- 
dens, and fourscore thousand to hew 
in the mountain, and three thousand 
and six hundred to oversee them. 

3 TI And Solomon sent to || Huram I 
the king of Tyre, saying, '^As thou 
didst deal with David my father, and 
didst send him cedars to build him 
a house to dwell therein, even so 
deal with me. 

4 Behold, "^I build a house to the

5 And the house which I build is

6 'But who t is able to build him

am about to build shall be f wonder- 
ful great. 

10 mAnd behold, I will give to thy 
servants, the hewers that cut timber, 
twenty thousand measures of beaten 
wheat, and twenty thousand mea- 
sures of barley, and twenty thousand 
baths of wine, and twenty thousand 
baths of oil. 

11 1 Then Huram the king of Tyre 
answered in writing, which he sent 
to Solomon, "Because the Lord hath 
loved his people, he hath made thee 
king over them. 

12 Huram said moreover, ° Blessed 
be the Loud God of Israel, Pthat 
made heaven and earth, who hath 
given to David the king a wise son, 
J endued with prudence and under- 
standing, that might build a house 
for the Lord, and a house for his 
kingdom. 

13 And now I have sent a cunning 
man, endued with understanding, of 
Huram my father's, 

14 iThe son of a woman of the 
daughters of Dan, and his father was 
a man of Tyre, skilful to Avork in gold, 
and in silver, in brass, in iron, in 
stone, and in timber, in purple, in 
blue, and in fine linen, and in crim- 
son ; also to grave any manner of 
graving, and to find out every device 
which shall be put to him, with thy 
cunning men, and with the cunning 
men of my lord David thy father. 

15 Now therefore the wheat, and 
the barley, the oil, and the wine 
which ""my lord hath spoken of, let 
him send unto his servants ; 

16 ^And we will cut wood out of 
Lebanon, -f as much as thou shalt 
need : and we will bring it to thee in 
floats by sea to f Joppa ; and thou 
shalt carry it up to Jerusalem. 

17 TI 'And Solomon numbered all 
f the strangers that were in the land 
of Israel, after the numbering where- 
with "David his father had numbered 
them ; and they were found a hun- 
dred and fifty thousand and three 
thousand and six hundred. 

18 And he set ^threescore and ten 
thousand of them to be bearers of 
burdens, and fourscore thousand to 
be hewers in the mountain, and three 
thousand and six hundred overseers 
to set the people a-work.

the house of the Lord at ^Je- 
rusalem in mount Moriah, || where 
he LORD appeared unto David his 
^ather, in the place that David had 
prepared in the threshing-floor of 
<= II Oman the Jebusite. 

2 And he began to build in the 
second day of the second month, in 
the fourth year of his reign. 

3 H Now these are the things ^ lohere- 
in Solomon was f instructed for the 
building of the house of God. The 
length by cubits after the first mea- 
sure was threescore cubits, and the 
breadth twenty cubits. 

4 And the ^ porch that was in the 
front of the house, the length of it 
was according to the breadth of the 
house, twenty cubits, and the height 
was a hundred and twenty : and he 
overlaid it within with pure gold. 

6 And ^the greater house he ceiled 
with fir-tree, which he overlaid with 
fine gold, and set thereon palm-trees 
and chains. 

6 And he f garnished the house 
with precious stones for beaut}' : and 
the gold was gold of Parvaim. 

7 He overlaid also the house, the 
beams, the posts, and the walls there- 
of, and the doors thereof, with gold ; 
and graved cherubims on the walls. 

8 And he made the most holy 
house, the length whereof ivas ac- 
cording to the breadth of the house, 
twenty cubits, and the breadth there- 
of twenty cubits : and he overlaid it 
with fine gold, amounting to six hun- 
dred talents. 

9 And the weight of the nails ivas 
fifty shekels of gold. And he over- 
laid the upper chambers with gold. 

10 &And in the most holy house he 
made two cherubims || of image- 
work, and overlaid them with gold. 

11 T[And the wings of the cheru- 
bims were twenty cubits long : one 
wing of the one cherub was five cu- 
bits, reaching to the wall of the house : 
and the other wing was likewise five 
cubits, reaching to the wing of the 
other cherub. 

12 And one wing of the other che- 
rub was five cubits, reaching to the

oracle, and put them on the heads of

2 "H ''Also he made a molten sea of 
ten cubits f from brim to brim, round 
in compass, and five cubits the height 
thereof; and a line of thirty cubits 
did compass it round about. 

3 <=And under it was the similitude

sea round about. Two rows of oxen 
were cast, when it was cast. 

4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three

looking toward the west, and three 
looking toward the south, and three 
looking toward the east : and the sea 
was set above upon them, and all their

7 ^And he made ten candlesticks of 
gold eaccording to their form,andset 
them in the temple, five on the right 
hand, and five on the left. 

8 '' He made also ten tables, and 
placed them in the temple, five on the 
right side, and five on the left. And 
he made a hundred |j basons of gold. 

9 TI Furthermore 'he made the court 
of the priests, and the great court, 
and doors for the court, and overlaid 
the doors of them with brass. 

10 And ^ he set the sea on the right 
side of the east end, over against the

11 And 'Huram made the pots, and

12 To wit, the two pillars, and ™ the 
pommels, and the chapiters which 
were on the top of the two pillars, 
and the two wreaths to cover the

were on the top of the pillars ; 

13 And "four hundred pomegran- 
ates on the two wreaths ; two rows 
of pomegranates on each wreath, to 
cover the two pommels of the chapi 
ters which were f upon the pillars. 

14 He made also " bases, and || la-

THUS a all the work that Solo-

Lord was finished : and Solomon 
brought in all the things that David 
his father had dedicated ; and the 
silver, and the gold, and all the in- 
struments, put he among the trea- 
sures of the house of God. 

2 H '' Then Solomon assembled the 
elders of Israel, and all the heads of 
the tribes, the chief of the fathers of 
the children of Israel, unto Jerusa- 
lem, to bring up the ark of the cove- 
nant of the Lord «out of the city of 
David, which is Zion. 

3 ** Wherefore all the men of Israel 
assembled themselves unto the king 
t^in the feast which was in the se- 
venth month. 

4 And all the elders of Israel came ; 
and tiie Levites took up the ark. 

5 And they brought up the ark, and 
the tabernacle of the congregation, 
and all the holy vessels that were in 
the tabernacle, these did the priests 
and the Levites bring up. 

C Also king Solomon, and all the 
congregation of Israel that were as- 
sembled unto him before the ark, sa- 
crificed sheep and oxen, which could 
not be told nor numbered for multi- 
tude. 

7 And the priests brought in the 
ark of the covenant of the Lord un- 
to his place, to the oracle of the 
house, into the most holy place, even 
under the wings of the cherubims : 

8 For the cherubims spread forth 
their wings over the place of the ark, 
and the cherubims covered the ark, 
and the staves thereof above. 

9 And they drew out the staves of 
the ark, that the ends of the staves 
were seen from the ark before the 
oracle ; but they were not seen with- 
out. And II there it is unto this day.

10 There was nothing in the ark 
save the two tables which Moses fput 
therein at Horeb, || when the Lord 
made a covenant with the children of 
Israel, when they came out of Egypt. 

1 1 TI And it came to pass, when the 
priests were come out of the holy 
place : (for all the priests that were 
f present were sanctified, aiid did 
not then wait by course: 

12 oAlso the Levites which were 
the singers, all of them of Asaph, of 
Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons 
and their brethren ; being arrayed in 
white linen, having cymbals and 
psalteries and harps, stood at the 
east end of the altar, ^^ and with them 
a hundred and twenty priests sound- 
ing with trumpets :) 

13 It came even to pass, as the trum- 
peters and singers were as one, to 
make one sound to be heard in prais- 
ing and thanking the Lord ; and 
when they lifted up their voice with 
the trumpets and cymbals and in-' 
struments of music, and praised the 
Lord, saying, 'For he is good; for 
liis mercy endureih for ever : that 
then the house was filled with a

CHRONICLES. Solomon blesseth the people. 

6 <= But I have chosen Jerusalem, 
that my name might be there ; and 
'^ have chosen David to be over my 
people Israel. 

7 Now ^ it was in the heart of Da- 
vid my father to build a house for 
the name of the Lord God of Israel ; 

8 But the Lord said to David my 
father. Forasmuch as it was in thy 
heart to build a house for my name, 
thou didst well in that it was in-thy 
heart : 

9 Notwithstanding, thou shalt not 
build the house ; but thy son which 
shall come forth out of thy loins, he 
shall build the house for my name. 

10 The Lord therefore hath per- 
formed his word that he hath spoken : 
for I am risen up in the room of Da- 
vid my father, and am set on the 
throne of Israel, as the Lord promis- 
ed, and have built the house for the 
name of the Lord God of Israel. 

11 And in it have I put the ark, 
^wherein is the covenant of the Lord, 
that he made with the children of 
Israel. 

12 *lf ff And he stood before the al- 
tar of the Lord in the presence of 
all the congregation of Israel, and 
spread forlh his hands : 

13 (For Solomon had made abrazen 
scaffold, of five cubits f long, and 
five cubits broad, and three cubits 
high, and had set it in the midst of 
the court : and upon it he stood, 
and kneeled down upon his knees 
before all the congregation of Israel, 
and spread forth his hands tov/ard 
heaven,) 

14 And said, O Lord God of Israel, 
"^Hhere is no God like thee in the hea- 
ven, nor in the earth ; which keep- 
est covenant, and shewest mercy un- 
to thy servants, that walk before thee 
with all their hearts : 

15 ' Thou which hast kept with thy 
servant David my father that which 
thou hast promised him ; and spakest 
with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it 
with thy hand, as it is this day. 

16 Now therefore, O Lord God of 
Israel, keep with thy servant David 
my father that which thou hast pro- 
mised him, saying, '^f There shall not

hast spoken unto thy servant David. 

18 But Avill God in very deed dwell 
with men on the earth ? "> Behold,

en unto the cry and the prayer which 
thy servant prayeth before thee : 

20 That thine eyes may be open 
upon this house day and night, upon 
the placewhereof thou hast said, tliat 
thou wouldest put thy name there ; 
to hearken unto the prayer which thy 
servant prayetli || toward this place. 

21 Hearken therefore unto the sup- 
plications of thy servant, and of thy 
people Israel, which they shall f make 
toward this place : hear thou from thy 
dwelling-place, even from heaven ,- 
and when thou hearest, forgive. 

22 11 If a man sin against his neigh-

to make him swear, and the oath 
come before thine altar in this house ; 

23 Then hear thou from heaven, and

ing the wicked, by recompensing his 
way upon his own head : and by jus- 
tifying the righteous, by giving him 
according to his righteousness. 

24 ^ And if thy people Israel || be 
put to the worse before ihe enemy, 
because they have sinned against 
Ihee ; and shall return and confess 
thy name, and pray and make sup- 
plication before thee || in this house ; 

25 Then hear thou from the hea- 
vens, and forgive the sin of thy peo- 
ple Israel, and bring them again unto 
the land which thou gavest to them 
and to thei:' fathers.

thy name, and turn from their sin, 
when thou dost afflict them ;

and forgive the sin of thy servants, 
and of thy people Israel, when thou 
hast taught them the good way

4 ^ sThen the king and all the peo- 
ple offered sacrifices before the Lord. 

5 And king Solomon offered a sa- 
crifice of twenty and two thousand 
oxen, and a hundred and twenty 
thousand sheep. So the king and all 
the people dedicated the house of 
God. 

6 '^And the priests waited on their 
offices : the Levites also with instru- 
ments of music of the Lord, which 
David the king had made to praise 
the Lord, because his mercy endu- 
reth for ever, when David praised 
f by their ministry ; and "the priests 
sounded trumpets before them, and 
all Israel stood. 

7 Moreover ^ Solomonhallowed the 
middle of the court that was before 
the house of the Lord: for there he 
offered burnt-offerings, and the fat of 
the peace-offerings, because the bra- 
zen altar which Solomon had made 
was not able to receive the burnt-of- 
ferings, and the meat-offerings, and 
the fat. 

8 °^ 'Also at the same time Solomon 
kept the feast seven days, and all Is- 
rael with him, a very great congrega- 
tion, from the entering in of Hamath 
unto ™the river of Egypt. 

9 And in the eighth day they made 
■j- a solemn assembly : for they kept 
the dedication of the altar seven days, 
and the feast seven days. 

10 And "on the three and twentieth 
day of the seventh month he sent 
the people away into their tents,glad 
and merry in heart for the goodness 
that the Lord had shewed unto Da- 
vid, and to Solomon, and to Israel 
his people, 

1 1 Thus o Solomon finished the 
house of the Lord, and the king's 
house : and all that came into Solo- 
mon's heart to make in the house of 
the Lord, and in his own house, he 
prosperously effected. 

12 ^ And the Lord appeared to So- 
lomon by night, and said unto him, 
I have heard thy prayer, Pand have 
chosen this place to myself for a 
house of sacrifice.

8 then will I hear from heaven, and

15 Now 'mine eyes shall be open,

er that is made in this place. 

16 For now have "I chosen and 
sanctified this house, that my name 
may be there forever : and mine eyes

ually. 

17 •■'And as for thee, if thou wilt 
walk before me, as David thy father 
walked, and do according to all that 
i have commanded thee, and shalt ob- 
serve my statutes and my judgments: 

18 Then will I establish the throne 
of thy kingdom according as I have 
covenanted with David thy father, 
saying, yf There shall not fail thee a 
man to he ruler in Israel. 

19 ^But if ye turn away, and forsake

go and serve other gods, and worship 
them ; 

20 Then will I pluck them up by 
the roots out of my land which I have 
given them ; and this house, which I 
have sanctified for my name, will I 
cast out of my sight, and will make 
xitohcdi proverb and a by- word among 
all nations. 

21 And this house, which is high, 
shall be an astonishment to every one 
that passeth by it; so that hesliall 
say, aWhy hath the Lord done thus 
unto this land, and unto this house ? 

22 And it shall be answered, Be- 
cause they forsook the Loud God of 
their fathers, which brought them 
forth out of the land of Egypt, and 
laid hold on other gods, and worship- 
ped them, and served them : therefore 
hath he brought all this evil upon 
them.

The cities which Solomon built. 

2 That the cities which Huram had 
restored to Solomon, Solomon built 
them, and caused the children of Is- 
rael to dwell there. 

3 And Solomon went to Hamath- 
zobah, and prevailed against it. 

4 i^And he built Tadmor in the wil- 
derness, and all the store-cities, which 
he built in Hamath. 

5 Also he built Beth-horon the up- 
per, andBeth-horon the nether, fenc- 
ed cities, with walls, gates, and bars ; 

6 And Baalath, and all the store- 
cities that Solomon had, and all the 
chariot-cities, and the cities of the 
horsemen, and fall that Solomon de- 
sired to build in Jerusalem, and in 
Lebanon, and throughout all the 
land of his dominion. 

7 H <^ As for all the people that were 
left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, 
and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, 
and the Jebusites, which were not of 
Israel, 

8 But of their children, who were 
left after them in the land, whom tlie 
children of Israel consumed not, them 
did Solomon make to pay tribute 
until this day. 

9 But of the children of Israel did 
Solomon make no servants for his 
work ; but they weix men of war, and 
chief of his captains, and captains of 
his chariots and horsemen. 

10 And these were the chief of king 
Solomon's officers, ei'en <^two hun- 
dred and fifty, that bare rule over 
the people. 

11 II And Solomon e brought up the 
daughter of Pharaoh out of the city 
of David unto the house that he had 
buik for her : for he said. My wife 
shall not dwell in the house of David 
king of Israel, because the places are 
f holy, whereunto the ark of the 
Lord hath come. 

12 H Then Solomon oflered burnt- 
offerings unto the Lord on the ahar 
of the Lord, which he had built be- 
fore the porch, 

13 Even after a certain rate ^every 
day, offering according to the com- 
mandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, 
and on the new-moons, and on the so- 
lemn feasts, sihree times in the year, 
even in the feastof unleavened bread, 
and in the feast of weeks, and in the 
feast of tabernacles.

14 l^And he appointed, according 
to the order of David his father, the 
^ courses of the priests to their service, 
and 'the Levites to their charges, to 
praise and minister before the priests, 
as the duty ofevery day required: the 
k porters also by their courses at every 
gate : for f so had David the man of 
God commanded. 

15 And they departed not from the 
commandment of the king unto the 
priests and Levites concerning any 
matter, or concerning the treasures. 

1 6 Now all the work of Solomon was 
prepared unto the day of the foun- 
dation of the house of the Lord, and 
until it was finished. So the house 
of the Lord was perfected. 

17 1[ Then went Solomon to lEzion- 
geber, and to || Eloth, at the sea-side 
in the land of Edom. 

18 ™And Huram sent him by the 
hands of his servants, ships, and ser- 
vants that had knowledge of the sea ; 
and they went with the servants of 
Solomon to Ophir, and took thence 
four hundred and fifty talents of 
gold, and brought thein to king So- 
lomon.

she came to prove Solomon with hard 
questions at Jerusalem, with a very 
great company, and camels that bare

own land of thine || acts, and of thy 
wisdom : 

6 Howbeit, I believed not their 
words, until I came, and mine eyes 
had seen it: and behold, the oile 
half of the greatness of thy wisdom 
was not told me : /or thou exceedest 
the fame that I heard. 

7 Happy are thy men, and happy 
are these thy servants, which stand 
continually before thee, and hear thy 
wisdom. 

8 Blessed be the Lord thy God, 
which delighted in thee to set thee on 
his throne, to he king for the Lord 
thy God : because thy God loved Is- 
rael, to establish them for ever, there- 
fore made he thee king over them, 
to do judgment and justice. 

9 And she gave the king a hun- 
dred and twenty talents of gold, and 
of spices great abundance, and pre- 
cious stones : neither was there any 
such spice as the queen of Sheba 
gave king Solomon. 

10 And the servants also of Huram, 
and the servants of Solomon, i^ which 
brought gold from Ophir, brought 
<=algum-trees and precious stones. 

1 1 And the king made of the algum- 
trees || f terraces to the house of the 
Lord, and to the king's palace, and 
harps and psalteries for singers : and 
thei'e were none such seen before in 
the land of Judah. 

12 And king Solomon gave to the 
queen of Sheba all her desire, what- 
soever she asked, besides that which 
she had brought unto the king. So 
she turned, and went away to her 
own land, she and her servants. 

13 "^Now the weight of gold that 
came to Solomon in one year was 
six hundred and threescore and six 
talents of gold ; 

14 Besides that which chapmen and 
merchants brought. And all the kings 
of Arabia and || governors of the 
country brought gold and silver to 
Solomon. 

15 TI And king Solomon made two

to one target. 

16 And three hundred shields made 
Ae of beaten gold : three hundred sAe-

the king put them in the liouse of

1 7 Moreover, the king made a great 
throne of ivor}^ and overlaid it with 
pure gold. 

18 And there were six steps to the 
throne, with a footstool of gold, which 
icere fastened to the throne,and f stays 
on each side of the sitting-place, and 
two lions standing by the stays: 

19 And twelve hons stood there on 
the one side and on the other upon 
the six steps. There was not the 
like made in any kingdom. 

20 H And all the drinking vessels of 
king Solomon were of gold, and all 
the vessels of the house of the forest of 
Lebanon were of j pure gold : y none 
were of silver; it was not any thing 
accountedof in the daysof Solomon. 

21 For the king's ships went toTar- 
shish with the servants of Iluram: 
every three years once came the ships 
of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, 
II ivorj', and apes, and peacocks. 

22 And king Solomon passed all 
the kings of the earth in riches and 
wisdom. 

23 II And all the kings of the earth 
sought the presence of Solomon, to 
hear his wisdom, that God had put 
in his heart. 

24 And they brought every man his 
present, vessels of silver, and ves- 
sels of gold, and raiment, harness, 
and spices, horses, and mules, a rate 
year by year. 

25 ^ And Solomon ''had four thou- 
sand stalls for horses and chariots, 
and twelve thousand horsemen ; 
whom he bestowed in the chariot- 
cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 
■ 26 "H e And he reigned over all the 
kings ffrom the || river even unto the 
land of the Philistines, and to the 
border of Egypt. 

27 sAnd the king f made silver in 
Jerusalem as stones, and cedar-trees 
made he as the sycamore-trees that 
are in the low plains in abundance.

30 ^And Solomon reigned in Je- 
rusalem over all Israel forty years. 

31 And Solomon slept with his fa- 
thers, and he was buried in the city 
of David his father : and Rehoboam 
his son reigned in his stead. 

CHAP. X. 

1 The Israelites, assembled at Shechem to crown 
Relwhoam, by Jcrohonm make a suit of relajca- 
tioii unto him. 6 Rehoboam, refusing the old 
melius counsel, by the advice of young men an- 
sirereth them roughly. 16 Ten tribes recoiling 
kill Hadoram, and make Rehoboam to flee. 

ND a Rehoboam went to She- 
chem: for to Shechem were all 
Israel come to make him king. 

2 And it came to pass, when Jero- 
boam the son of Nebat, who loas ia 
Egy^pt, i' whither he had lied from 
the presence of Solomon the king, 
heard jY.that Jeroboam returned out 
of Eg}'pt. 

3 And they sent and called him. 
So Jeroboam and all Israel came 
and spake to Rehoboam, saying, 

4 Thy father made our yoke griev- 
ous : now therefore ease thou some- 
what the grievous servitude of thy 
father, and his heavy yoke that he 
put upon us, and we will serve thee. 

5 And he said unto them. Come 
again unto me after three days. And 
the people depaited. 

6 1[ And kingRehoboam took coun- 
sel with the old men that had stood 
before Solomon his father while he 
yet lived, saying, What counsel give 
ye me to return answer to this peo- 
ple ? 

7 And they spake unto him, saying, 
If thou be kind to this people, and 
please them, and speak good words 
to them, they will be thy servants 
for ever. 

8 But he forsook the counsel which 
the old men gave him, and took 
counsel with the young men that 
were brought up with him, that stood 
before him. 

9 And he said unto them. What 
advice give ye, that we may return 
answer to this people, which have 
spoken to me, saying, Ease some- 
what the yoke that thy father did 
put upon us / 

10 And the young men that were 
brought up with him, spake unto him, 
saving, Thus shalt thou answer the

My little ^n^er shall be thicker than 
my father's loins. 

1 1 For whereas my father f put a 
heavy yoke upon you, I will put 
more to your yoke : my father chas- 
tised you with whips, but I will 
chastise you with scorpions. 

12 So Jeroboam and all the people 
came to Rehoboam on the third day, 
as the king bade, saying, Come again 
to me on the third day. 

13 And the king answered them 
roughly; and king Rehoboam for- 
sook the counsel of the old men, 

14 And answered them after the ad- 
vice of the young men, saying, My 
father made your yoke heavy, but I 
will add thereto : my father chastised 
you with whips, but I will chastise 
you with scorpions. 

15 So the king hearkened not unto 
the people : ^for the cause was of 
God, that the Lord might perform 
his word, which he spake by the 
^hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Je- 
roboam the son of Nebat. 

16 "[I And when all Israel saw that 
the king would not hearken unto 
them, the people answered the king, 
saying. What portion have we in 
David? and we have none inherit- 
ance in the son of Jesse : every man 
to your tents, O Israel: and now, 
David, see to thine own house. So 
all Israel went to their tents. 

17 But as for the children of Israel 
that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Re- 
hoboam reigned over them. 

18 Then king Rehoboam sent Ha- 
doram that r^Yzs over the tribute; and 
the children of Israel stoned him with 
stones, that he died. But king Re- 
hoboam fmade speed to get him up 
to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 

19 ^And Israel rebelled against the 
house of David unto this day.

CHRONICLES. Rehoboam raiseth an army. 
the house of Judah and Benjamin 
a hundred and fourscore thousand 
chosen men which were warriors, to 
fight against Israel, that he might 
bring the kingdom again to Reho- 
boam. 

2 But the word of the Lord came 
bto Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 

3 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of 
Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Is- 
rael in Judah and Benjamin, saying, 

4 Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall 
not go up, nor fight against your 
brethren : return every man to his 
house : for this thing is done of me. 
And they obeyed the words of the 
Lord, and returned from going a- 
gainst Jeroboam. 

5 ^And Rehoboam dwelt in Jeru- 
salem, and built cities for defence in 
Judah. 

6 He built even Beth-lehem, and 
Etam, and Tekoa, 

7 And Beth-zur, and Shoco, and 
Adullam, 

8 And Gath, and Mareshah, and 
Ziph, 

9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and 
Azekah, 

10 And Zorah, and Ajalon, and 
Hebron, which are in Judah and in 
Benjam.in, fenced cities. 

1 1 And he fortified the strong holds, 
and put captains in them, and store 
of victual, and of oil and wine. 

12 And in eveiy several city he put 
shields and spears, and made them 
exceeding strong, having Judah and 
Benjamin on his side. 

13 TI And the priests and the Levites 
that were in all Israel f resorted to 
him out of all their coasts. 

14 (For the Levites left <= their sub- 
urbs and their possession, and came 
to Judah and Jerusalem : for ^ Jero- 
boam and his sons had cast them off 
from executing the priest's office un- 
to the Lord : 

15 ^ And he ordainedhim priestsfor 
the high places, and for ^the devils, and 
for &the calves which he had made.) 

16 h And after them out of all the 
tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts 
to seek the Lord God of Israel came 
to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the 
Lord God of their fathers. 

17 So they > strengthened the king- 
dom of Judah, and made Rehoboam

the daughter of Absalom above all his 
wives and his concubines: (for he 
took eighteen wives, and threescore 
concubines ; and begat twenty and 
eight sons, and threescore daughters.) 

22 And Rehoboam 'made Abijah 
the son of Maachah the chief, to be 
ruler among his brethren : for he 
thought to make him king. 

23 And he dealt wisely, and disper- 
sed of all his children throughout all

unto every fenced city: and he gave 
them victual in abundance. And he 
desired f many wives.

and spoileth Jerusalem. 

fYe have forsaken me, and therefore 
have I also left you in the hand of 
Shishak. 

6 Whereupon the princes of Israel, 
and the king ehumbled themselves ; 
and they said, ^^The Lord is right- 
eous. 

7 And when the Lord saw that they 
humbled themselves, ' the word of the 
Lord came to Shemaiah,saying,They 
have humbled themselves ; therefore I 
will not destroy them, but I will grant 
them II some deliverance ; and my 
wrath shall not be poured out upon 
Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 

8 Nevertheless '^they shall be his 
servants; that they may know 'my 
service, and the service of the king- 
doms of the countries. 

9 "' So Shishak king of Egypt came 
up against Jerusalem, and took away 
the treasures ofthe house of the Lord, 
and tiie treasures of the king's house ; 
he took all : he carried away also the 
shields of gold which Solomon had 
"made. 

10 Instead of which, king Rehoboam 
made shields of brass, and commit- 
ted them "to the hands of the chief 
of the guard, that kept the entrance 
ofthe king's house. 

11 And when the king entered in- 
to the house of the Lord, the guard 
came and fetched them, and brought 
them again into the guard-chamber. 

12 And when he humbled himself, 
the wrath of the Loud turned from 
him, that he would not destroy him 
altogether: || and alsy in Judah things 
went well. 

13 H So king Rehoboam strengthen- 
ed himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: 
for P Rehoboam loas one and forty 
years old when he began to reign, and 
he reigned seventeen years in Jeru- 
salem, 4 the city which the Lord had 
chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to 
put his name there. And his mother's 
name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 

14 And he did evil, because he || pre- 
pared not his heart to seek the Lord. 

15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first 
and last, are they not written in the 
fbookof Shemaiah the prophet, ■■ and 
of Iddo the seer concerning gene- 
alogies? »And there were wars be- 
tween Rehoboam and Jeroboam 
continually.

'OW =^in the eighteenth year of 
king Jeroboam began Abijah to 
reign over Judah. 

2 He reigned three years in Jeru- 
salem. His mother's name also was 
^ Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of 
Gibeah. And there was war between 
Abijah and Jeroboam. 

3 And Abijah f set the battle in 
array with an army of valiant men 
of war, even four hundred thousand 
chosen men: Jeroboam also set the 
battle in array against him with eight 
hundred thousand chosen men, being 
mighty men of valour. 

4 If And Abij ah stood up upon mount 
•^Zemaraim, which is in mount E- 
phraim, and said, Hear me, thou Je- 
roboam, and all Israel ; 

5 Ought ye not to know that the 
Lord God of Israel <igave the king- 
dom over Israel to David for ever, 
even to him and to his sons ^ by a co- 
venant of salt ? 

6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat 
the servant of Solomon the son of 
David, is risen up, and hath ^rebel- 
led against his lord. 

7 And there are gathered unto him 
svain men, the children of Belial, 
and have strengthened themselves 
against Rehoboam the son of Solo- 
mon, when Rehoboam was young 
and tender-hearted, and could not 
withstand them. 

8 And now ye think to withstand the 
kingdom of the Lord in the hand of 
the sons of David ; and ye be a great 
multitude, and there are with you 
golden calves, which Jeroboam 
iimade you for gods. 

9 'Have ye not cast out the priests 
of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and 
the Levites,andhave made you priests 
after the mannerof the nations o( other 
lands ? 1^ so that whosoever cometh f to 
consecrate himself with a young bul-

God, and we have not forsaken him; 
and the priests, which minister unto 
the Lord, ai-e the sons of Aaron, and 
the Levites wait upon their business: 

1 1 lAnd they burn unto the Lord 
every morning and every evening 
burnt-sacrifices and sweet incense : 
the ™ she w-bread also set they in order 
upon the pure table ; and the candle- 
stick of gold with the lamps thereof 
"to burn every evening: for we keep 
the charge of the Lord our God ; 
but ye have forsaken him. 

12 And behold, God himself is with 
us for our captain, °and his priests 
with sounding trumpets to cry alarm 
against you. O children of Israel,? fight 
ye not against the Lord God of your 
fathers ; for ye shall not prosper. 

13 TIBut Jeroboam caused an am- 
bushment to come about behind them: 
so they were before Judah, and the 
ambushment was behind them. 

14 And when Judah looked back, 
behold, the battle was before and be- 
hind: and they cried unto the Lord, 
and the priests sounded with the 
trumpets. 

.15 Then the men of Judah gave 
a shout : and as the men of Judah 
shouted, it came to pass, that God 
q smote Jeroboam and all Israel be- 
fore Abijah and Judah. 

16 And the children of Israel fled 
before Judah : and God delivered 
them into their hand. 

17 And Abijah and his people slew 
them with a great slaughter : so there 
fell down slain of Israel five hundred 
thousand chosen men. 

18 Thus the children of Israel were 
brought under at that time, and the 
children of Judah prevailed, ""because 
they relied upon the Lord God of 
their fathers. 

19 And Abijah pursued after Jero- 
boam, and took cities from him. Beth- 
el with the towns thereof, and Jesha- 
nah with the towns thereof, and 
^Ephraim with the towns thereof. 

20 Neither did Jeroboam recover 
strength again in the days of Abijah : 
and the LoRD^struck him, and "he 
died. 

21 1 But Abijah waxed mighty, and 
married fourteen wives, and begat 
twenty and two sons, and sixteen 
daughters.

Asa destroyeth idolatry. 

22 And the rest of the acts of Abi- 
jah, and his ways, and his sayings, 
are written in the || story of the pro- 
phet ^Iddo. 

CHAP. XIV. 

1 Asa succeeding destroy.th idolatry. 6 Having 
peace, he strengtheneih his kingdom vrith forts 
and armies. 9 CaUing on God, he otertiirowelh 
Zerah, and spoileth the Ethiopians. 

SO Abijah slept with his fathers, 
and they buried him in the city 
of David : and ^Asa his son reigned 
in his stead. In his days the land 
was quiet ten years. 

2 And Asa did that which was good 
and right in the eves of the Lord his 
God: 

3 For he took away the altars of the 
strange gods, and ''the high places, 
and <= brake down the f images, ''and 
cut down the groves : 

4 And commanded Judah to seek 
the Lord God of their fathers, and 
to do the law and the commandment. 

5 Also he took away out of all the 
cities of Judah the high places and 
the f images : and the kingdom was 
quiet before him. 

6 Tf And he built fenced cities in 
Judaii : for the land had rest, and he 
had no war in those years ; because 
the Lord had given him rest, 

7 Therefore he said unto Judah, Let 
us build these cities, and make about 
them walls, and towers, gates, and 
bars, while the land is yet before us ; 
because we have sought the Lord 
our God, we have sought him, and 
he hath given us rest on every side. 
So they built, and prospered. 

8 And Asa had an army of men that 
bare targets and spears, out of Judah 
three hundred thousand ; and out of 
Benjamin, that bare shields and drew 
bows, two hundred and fourscore 
thousand : all these were mighty men 
of valour. 

9 TI« And there came out against 
them Zerah the Ethiopian, with a 
host of a thousand thousand, and 
three hundred chariots ; and came 
unto fMareshah. 

10 Then Asa went out against him, 
and they set the battle in array in the 
valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. 

11 And Asa ? cried unto the Lord 
his God, and said, Lord, it is ^no- 
thing with thee to help, whether with 
many, or with them that have no

12 So the Lord ^^ smote the Ethio- 
pians before Asa, and before Judah ; 
and the Ethiopians fled. 

13 And Asa and the people that 
were with him pursued them unto 
'Gerar: and the Ethiopians were 
overthrown, that they could not re- 
coverthemselves: fortheywere f de- 
stroyed before the Lord, and before 
his host ; and they caiTied away very 
much spoil. 

14 And they smote all the cities 
round about Gerar ; for ™the fear of 
the Lord came upon them : and they 
spoiled all the cities ; for there was 
exceeding much spoil in them. 

15 They smote also the tents of 
cattle, and carried away sheep and 
camels in abundance, and returned 
to Jerusalem. 

CHAP. XV. 

1 Asa tcitJi Judah and many of Israel, moved by 
the prophecy of Azariah t/ie son of Oded, make 
a soletnn covenant tcith God. 16 JHe putleth 
down Maachah his mother for her idolatry. 18 
He bringctk dedicate things into the house of 
God, and enjoycth a long peace. 

AND ''the Spirit of God came 
upon Azariah the son of Oded : 

2 And he went out to f meet Asa, 
and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, 
and all Judah and Benjamin; ''The 
Lord is with you, while ye be with 
him ; and "^if ye .seek him, he will be 
found of you ; but ''if ye forsake 
him, he will forsake you. 

3 Now i^for a long season Israel 
hath been without the true God, and 
without ("a teaching priest, and with- 
out law. 

4 But Swhen they in their trouble 
did turn unto the Lord God of Is- 
rael, and sought him, he was found 
of them. 

5 And '' in those times there was no 
peace to him that went out, nor to 
him that came in, but great vexations 
were upon all the inhabitants of the 
countries. 

6 'And nation was f destroyed of 
nation, and city of city: for God did 
vex them with all adversity. 

7 Be ye strong therefore, and let 
not your hands be weak ; for your 
work shall be rewarded. 

483 



Asa putteth away idolatry. 11. 

8 And when Asaheard these words, 
and the prophecy of Oded the pro- 
phet, he took courage, and put away 
the f abominable idols out of all the 
land of Judah and Benjamin, and out 
of the cities '^ which he had taken 
from mount Ephraim, and renewed 
the altar of the Lord, that was be- 
fore the porch of the Lord. 

9 And he gathered all Judah and 
Benjamin, and Hhe strangers with 
them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, 
and out of Simeon : for they fell to 
him out of Israel in abundance, when 
they saw that the Lord his God was 
with him. 

10 So they gathered themselves to- 
gether at Jerusalem in the third 
month, in the fifteenth year of the 
reign of Asa. 

11 ™And they offered unto the Lord 
+ the same time, of "the spoil which 
they had brought, seven hundred oxen 
and seven thousand sheep. 

12 And they « entered into a cove- 
nant to seek the Lord God of their 
fathers with all their heart and with 
all their soul ; 

13 P That whosoever would not seek 
the Lord God of Israel <i should be 
put to death, whether small or great, 
whether man or woman. 

14 And they sware unto the Lord 
with a loud voice, and with shouting, 
and with trumpets, and with cornets. 

15 And all Judah rejoiced at the 
oath : for they had sworn with all 
their heart, and >■ sought him with 
their whole desire ; and he was found 
of them: and the Lord gave them 
rest round about. 

1 6 H And also concerning ^ Maachah 
the II mother of Asa the king, he re- 
moved her fromfceiw^queen, because 
she had made an f idol in agrove : and 
Asa cut down her idol, and stamped 
it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron. 

17 But Uhe high places were not 
taken away out of Israel : neverthe-

18 TI And he brought into the house 
of God the things that his father had 
dedicated, and that he himself had 
dedicated,silver,andgold,andvessels.

Asa reproved by Hanani. 
CHAP. XVL 

I Asa, by the aid of the Syrians, diverteih Baasha 
from building of Ramah. 7 Being reproved 
thereof by Hanani, he putteth him in prison. 
11 Among his other acts in his disease lie seek' 
eth not to God, but to the physicians. 13 His 
death and burial. 

IN the six and thirtieth year of the 
reign of Asa, ^Baasha king of Is- 
rael came up against Judah, and 
built Ramah, ''to the intent that he 
might let none go out or come in to 
Asa king of Judah. 

2 Then Asa brought out silver and 
gold out of the treasures of the house 
of the Lord and of the king's house, 
and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syi'ia, 
that dwelt at f Damascus, saying, 

3 There is a league between me 
and thee, as there was between my 
father and thy father : behold, I have 
sent thee silver and gold ; go, break 
thy league with Baasha king of Is- 
rael, that he may depart from me. 

4 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto 
king Asa, and sent the captains of 
t his armies against the cities of Is- 
rael ; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, 
and Abel-maim, and all the store- 
cities of Naphtah. 

5 And it came to pass, when Baa- 
sha heard it, that he left off building 
of Ramah, and let his work cease. 

6 Then Asa the king took all Ju- 
d ah ; and they carried away the stones 
of Ramah, and the timber thereof, 
wherewith Baasha was building, and 
he built therewith Geba and Mizpah. 

7 "[[And at that time ^Hanani the 
seer came to Asa king of Judah, and 
said unto him, <^ Because thou hast 
relied on the king of Syria, and not 
relied on the Lord thy God, there- 
fore is the host of the king of Syria 
escaped out of thy hand. 

8 Were not ^the Ethiopians and 
^the Lubims f a huge host, with very 
many chariots and horsemen ? yet, 
because thou didst rely on the Lord, 
he delivered them into thy hand. 

9 sFor the eyes of the Lord run to 
and fro throughout the whole earth, 

II to shew himself strong in the be- 
half of them whose heart is perfect 
toward him. Herein ^thou hast done 
foolishly : therefore from henceforth 
'thou shalt have wars. 

10 Then Asa was wroth with the 
seer, and "^put him in a prison-house ; 
for he was in a rage with him because

of this thing. And Asa f oppressed 
some of the people the same time. 

11 *[f 'And behold, the acts of Asa, 
first and last, lo, they are written in the 
book of the kings of Judahand Israel. 

12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth 
year of his reign was diseased in his 
feet, until his disease was exceeding 
great: yet in his disease he ""sought 
not to the Lord, but to the physi- 
cians. 

13 Hf'And Asa slept with his fa- 
thers, and died in the one and forti- 
eth year of his reign. 

14 And they buried him in his own 
sepulchres which he had f made for 
himself in the city of David, and 
laid him in the bed which was filled 
°with sweet odours, and divers kinds 
of spices prepared by the apotheca- 
ries' art : and they made Pavery great 
burning for him. 

CHAP. XVII. 

1 Jehoshaplial, succeeding Asa, reigneth well, and 
prospereth. 7 He settdeih Leviies iciih the 
princes to leach J udaJi. 10 His enemies bein^ 
terrified by God, some of them brin^ him pre- 
sents and tribute. 12 His greatness, captains, 
and armies. 

AND ^ Jehoshaphat his son reign- 
ed in his stead, and strengthen- 
ed himself against Israel. 

2 And he placed forces in all the 
fenced cities of Judah, and set gar- 
risons in the land of Judah, and in 
the cities of Ephraim, "^ which Asa 
his father had taken. 

3 And the Loud was with Jehosha- 
phat, because he walked in the first 
ways II of his father David, and sought 
not unto Baalim ; 

4 But sought to the LORD God of 
his father, and walked in his com- 
mandments, and not after '^ the do- 
ings of Israel. 

5 Therefore the Lord established 
the kingdom in his hand ; and all Ju- 
dah ''t brought to Jehoshaphat pre- 
sents; 'and he had riches and honour 
in abundance. 

6 And his heart || was lifted up in 
the ways of the Lord: moreover Hie 
took away the high places and groves 
out of Judah. 

7 ^ Also in the third year of his 
reign he sent to his princes, even to 
Ben-hail, and to Obadiah, and to 
Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to 
Michaiah, eto teach in the cities of 
Judab.

the people. 

10 lIAnd 'the fear of the Lord 
f fell upon all the kingdoms of the 
lands that were round about Judah, 
so that they made no war against Je- 
hoshaphat. 

11 Also some of the Philistines 
''brought Jehoshaphat presents, and 
tribute-silver ; and the Arabians 
brought him flocks, seven thousand 
and seven hundred rams, and seven 
thousand and seven hundred he-goats. 

12 Ti And Jehoshaphat waxed great 
exceedingly ; and he built in Judah 
Jl castles, and cities of store. 

13 And he had much business in 
the cities of Judah : and the men of 
war, mighty men of valour, were in 
Jerusalem. 

14 And these are the numbers of 
them according to the house of their 
fathers : Of Judah, the captains of 
thousands ; Adnah the chief, and 
with him mighty men of valour three 
hundred thousand. 

15 And fnext to him was Jehoha- 
nan the captain, and with him two

himself unto the Lord ; and with

men of valour.

Jehoshaphat jolneth with Ahah. II. 

NOW Jehoshaphat ^^had riches 
and honour in abundance, and 
''joined affinity with Ahab. 

2 <^And f aftercertom years he went 
down to Ahab to Samaria. And A- 
hab killed sheep and oxen for him in 
abundance, and for the people that he 
had with him, and persuaded him to 
go up loiih him to Ramoth-gilead. 

3 And Ahab king of Israel said un- 
to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt 
thou go with me to Ramoth-gilead ? 
And he answered him, I am as thou 
art, and my people as thy people ; 
and we will he with thee in the war. 

4 H And Jehoshaphat said unto the 
king of Israel, "^ Inquire, I pray thee, 
at the word of the Lord to-day. 

5 Therefore the king of Israel ga- 
thered together of prophets four hun- 
dred men, and said unto them. Shall 
we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or 
shall I forbear ? And they said, Go 
up ; for God will deliver it into the 
king's hand. " 

6 But Jehoshaphat said. Is there 
not here a prophet of the Lord f be- 
sides, that we might inquire of him? 

7 And the king of Israel said unto 
Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, 
by whom we may inquire of the 
Lord : but I hate him ; for he never 
prophesiethgood unto me, but always 
evil : the same is Micaiah the son of 
Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let 
not the king say so. 

8 And the king of Israel called for 
one of his |1 officers, and said, f Fetch 
quickly Micaiah the son of Imla. 

9 And the king of Israel and Jeho- 
shaphat king of Judah sat either of 
them on his throne, clothed in their 
robes, and they sat in a ||void place 
at the entering in of the gate of Sa- 
maria: and all the prophets prophe- 
sied before them. 

10 And Zedekiah the son of Che- 
naanah had made him horns of iron, 
and said, Thus saith the Lord, With 
these thou shalt push Syria until 
f they be consumed. 

1 1 And all the prophets prophesied 
so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, 
and prosper: for the Lord shall de- 
liver it into the hand of the king.

assent; let thy word therefore, I pray 
thee, be like one of theirs, and speak

13 And Micaiah said. As the Lord 
liveth, <^ even what my God saith, that 
will I speak. 

14 And when he was come to the 
king, the king said unto him, Micai- 
ah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to 
battle, or shall I forbear? And he said. 
Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall 
be delivered into your hand. 

15 And the king said to him, How 
many times shall I adjure thee that 
thou say nothing but the truth to me 
in the name of the Lord ? 

16 Then he said, I did see all Israel 
scattered upon the mountams, as 
sheep that have no shepherd : and the 
Lord said. These have no master ; 
let them return therefore every man 
to his house in peace, 

17 And the king of Israel said to 
Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that 
he would not prophesy good unto 
me, II but evil? 

18 Again he said. Therefore hear 
the word of the Lord ; I saw the 
Lord sitting upon his throne, and 
all the host of heaven standing on 
his right hand and on his left. 

19 And the Lord said, Who shall 
entice Ahab king of Israel, that he 
may go up and fall at Ramoth-gi- 
lead ? And one spake saying after this 
manner, and another saying after that 
manner. 

20 Then there came out a ^spirit, 
and stood before the Lord, and said, 
I will entice him. And the Lord 
said unto him. Wherewith ? 

21 And he said, I will go out, and 
be a lying spirit in the mouth of all 
his prophets. And the LORD said, 
Thou shalt entice him, andthoti shalt 
also prevail : go out and do even so. 

22 Now therefore, behold, &the 
Lord hath put a lying spirit in the 
mouth of these thy prophets, and the 
Lord hath spoken evil against thee. 

23 Then Zedekiah the son of Che- 
naanah came near, and '^ smote Mi- 
caiah upon the cheek, and said, Which 
way went the Spirit of the Lord from 
me to speak unto thee ?

25 Then the king of Israel said, 
Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back

and to Joash the king's son ; 

26 And say. Thus saith the king, 
> Put this fellow in the prison, and 
feed him with bread of affliction and 
with water of affliction, until I return 
in peace. 

27 And Micaiah said, If thou cer- 
tainly return in peace, then hath not 
the Lord spoken by me. And he 
said. Hearken, all ye people. 

28 So the king of Israel and Jeho- 
shaphat the king of Judah went up 
to Ramoth-gilead. 

29 And the king of Israel said unto 
Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, 
and will go to the battle ; but put 
thou on thy robes. So the king of 
Israel disguised himself; and they 
went to the battle. 

30 Now the king of Syria had com 
manded the captains of the chariots 
that were with him, saying. Fight ye 
not with small or great, save only 
with the king of Israel. 

31 And it came to pass, when the 
captains of the chariots saw Jehosha- 
phat, that they said. It is the king of 
Israel. Therefore they compassed 
about him to fight : but Jehoshaphat 
cried out, and the Lord helped him ; 
and God moved them to depart from 
him. 

32 For it came to pass, that when 
the captains of the chariots perceiv- 
ed that it was not the king of Israel, 
they turned back again f from pur- 
suing him. 

33 And a certain man drew a bow 
f at a venture, and smote the king of 
Israel f between the joints of the har- 
ness : therefore he said to his cha- 
riot-man, Turn thine hand, that thou 
mayest carry me out of the host ; for 
I am f wounded. 

34 And the battle increased that 
day : howbeitthe king of Israel stay- 
ed himself up in his chariot against 
the Syrians until the even : and about 
the time of the sun going down he 
died.

Jehoshaphat s care for justice. 

ND Jehoshaphat the king of 
Judah returned to his house in 
peace to Jerusalem. 

2 And Jehu the son of Hanani ^ the 
seer went out to meet him, and said 
to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou 
help the ungodly, and ''love them that 
hate the Lord? therefore is ^ wrath 
upon thee from before the Lord. 

3 Nevertheless, there are <^good 
things found in thee, in that thou 
hast taken away the groves out of 
the land, and hast ''prepared thy 
heart to seek God. 

4 And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Je- 
rusalem : and f he went out again 
through the people from Beer-she- 
ba to mount Ephraim, and brought 
them back unto the Lord God of 
their fathers. 

5 TIAnd he set judges in the land 
throughout all the fenced cities of 
Judah, city by city ; 

6 And said to the judges. Take heed 
what ye do : for 'ye judge not for 
man, but for the Lord, g who is with 
you t in the judgment. 

7 Wherefore now let the fear of the 
Lord be upon you : take heed and 
do it : for '' there is no iniquity with 
the Lord our God, nor ' respect ot 
persons, nor taking of gifts. 

8 TI Moreover, in Jerusalem did Je- 
hoshaphat ''set of the Levites, and 
of the priests, and of the chief of the 
fathers of Israel, for the judgment of 
the Lord, and for controversies, 
when they returned to Jerusalem. 

9 And he charged them, saying, 
Thus shall ye do 'in the fear of the 
Lord, faithfully, and with a perfect 
heart. 

10 f" And what cause soever shall 
come to you of your brethren that 
dwell in their cities, between blood 
and blood, between law and com- 
mandment, statutes and judgments, 
ye shall even warn them that they 
trespass not against the Lord, and 
so " wrath come upon °you, and up- 
on your brethren: this do, and ye 
shall not trespass. 

11 And behold, Amariah the chief 
priest is over you P in all matters of 
the Lord ; and Zebadiah the son of 
Ishmael, the ruler of the house of 
Judah, for all the king's matters : 
also the Levites shall be officers be-

which he made with Ahaziah, according to the 
prophecy of Eliezer, unhappily perished. 

IT came to pass after this also, that 
the children of Moab, and the 
children of Ammon, and with them 
other besides the Ammonites, came 
against Jehoshaphat to battle. 

2 Then there came some that told 
Jehoshaphat, saying. There cometh 
a great multitude against thee from 
beyond the sea on this side Syria ; 
and behold, they be ^ in Hazazon-ta- 
mar, which is ^ En-gedi. 

3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set 
■\ himself to ^ seek the Lord, and 
d proclaimed a fast throughout all 
Judah. 

4 And Judah gathered themselves 
together, to ask help of the Lord ; 
even out of all the cities of Judah 
they came to seek the Lord. 

5 K And Jehoshaphat stood in the 
congregation of Judah and Jerusa- 
lem, in the house of the Lord, be- 
fore the new court, 

6 And said, O Lord God of our fa- 
thers, art not thou "^God in heaven ? 
and ^'rulest not thou over all the king- 
doms of the heathen? and & in thy 
hand is there not power and might, so 
that none is able to withstand thee ? 

7 Art not thou ^ our God, f who 
'didst di'ive out the inhabitants of 
this land before thy people Israel, 
and gavest it to the seed of Abra-

8 And they dwelt therein, and have 
built thee a sanctuary therein for thy

9 ' If, when evil cometh upon us, as 
the sword, judgment, or pestilence, 
or famine, we stand before this house, 
and in thy presence, (for thy J" name 
is in this house,) and cry unto thee

and help.

them, and destroyed them not ; 

1 1 Behold, / say, how they reward 
us, Pto come to cast us out of thy 
possession, which thou hast given us 
to inherit. 

12 O our God, wilt thou not i judge 
them? for we have no might against 
this great company that cometh a- 
gainst us ; neither know we what to 
do : but ""our eyes are upon thee. 

13 And all Judah stood before the 
Lord, with their little ones, their 
wives and their children. 

14 H Then upon Jahaziel the son 
of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the 
son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a 
Levite of the sons of Asaph, ^ came 
the Spirit of the Lord in the midst 
of the congregation ; 

15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Ju- 
dah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, 
and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus 
saith the Lord unto you, 'Be not 
afraid nor dismayed by reason of 
this great multitude ; for the battle 
is not yours, but God's. 

16 To-morrow go ye down against 
them : behold, they come up by the 
f cliffof Ziz ; and ye shall find them 
at the end of the || brook, before the 
wilderness of JerueL 

17 "Ye shall not need to fight m 
this battle : set yourselves, stand ye 
still, and see the salvation of the 
Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusa- 
lem : fear not, nor be dismayed ; to- 
morrow go out against them : ''for 
the Lord will be with you. 

18 And Jehoshaphat y bowed his 
head with his face to the ground : 
and all Judah and the inhabitants of 
Jerusalem fell before the Lord, wor- 
shipping the Lord. 

19 And the Levites, of the children 
of the Kohathites, and of the children 
of the Korhites, stood up to praise 
the Lord God of Israel with a loud 
voice on high. 

20 TI And they rose early in the 
morning, and went forth into the 
wilderness of Tekoa : and as they 
went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and 
said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye in- 
habitants of Jerusalem ; '^Believe in 
the Lord your God, so shall ye be 
established ; believe his prophets, so 
shall ye prosper.

the people, he appointed singers unto 
the Lord, ^and fthat should praise 
the beauty of holiness, as they went 
out before the army, and to say, 
''Praise the Lord; "^for his mercy 
endureth for ever. 

22 H t And when they began f to 
sing and to praise, <Jthe Lord set 
ambushments against the children 
of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, 
which were come against Judali; and 
II they were smitten. 

23 For the children of Ammon and 
Moab stood up against the inhabit- 
ants of mount Seir, utterly to slay 
and destroy them : and when they 
had made an end of the inhabitants 
of Seir, every one helped f to destroy 
another. 

24 And when Judah came toward 
the watch-tower in the wilderness, 
they looked unto the multitude, and 
behold, they were dead bodies fallen 
to the earth, and f none escaped. 

25 And when Jehoshaphat and his 
people came to take away the spoil 
of them, they found among them in 
abundance both riches with the dead 
bodies, and precious jewels, which 
they stripped off for themselves, more 
than they could carry away: and they 
were three days in gathering of the 
spoil, it was so much. 

26 If And on the fourth day they 
assembled themselves in the valley 
of II Berachah ; for there they blessed 
the Lord: therefore the name of the 
same place was called. The valley of 
Berachah, unto this day. 

27 Then they returned, every man 
of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jeho- 
shaphat in the f fore-front of them, 
to go again to Jerusalem with joy; 
for the Lord had fumade them to re- 
joice over their enemies. 

28 And they came to Jerusalem 
with psalteries and harps and trum- 
pets unto the house of the Lord. 

29 And 'the fear of God was on all

7 And the f destruction of Ahaziah 
fwas of God by coming to Joram : 
for when he was come, he ^went out 
with Jehoram against Jehu the son of 
Nimshi, 'whom the Lord had anoint- 
ed to cut off the house of Ahab. 

8 And it came to pass, that when 
Jehu was ''executing judgment upon 
the house of Ahab, and 'found the 
princes of Judah, and the sons of the 
brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered 
to Ahaziah, he slew them. 

9 "1 And he sought Ahaziah : and 
they caught him, (for he was hid in 
Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: 
and when they had slain him, they 
buried him : Because, said they, he is 
the son of Jehoshaphat, who "sought 
the Lord with all his heart. So the 
house of Ahaziah had no power to 
keep still the kingdom. 

10 1 "But when Athaliah the mo- 
ther of Ahaziah saw that her son was 
dead, she arose, and destroyed all the 
seed royal of the house of Judah. 

1 1 But P Jehoshabeath, the daughter 
of the -king, took Joash the son of 
Ahaziah, and stole him from among 
the king's sons that were slain, and 
put him and his nurse in a bed-cham- 
ber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter 
of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoia- 
da the priest, (for she was the sister 
of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, 
so that she slew him not.

Athaliah reigned over the land.

the Lord hath ^ said of the sons of 
David. 

4 This is the thing that ye shall do , 
A third part of you <= entering on the 
sabbath, of the priests and of the Le- 
vites, sliall be porters of the f doors ; 

5 And a third part shall be at the 
king's house ; and a third part at the 
gate of the foundation : and all the 
people shall be in the courts of the 
house of the Lord. 

6 But let none come into the house 
of the Lord, save the priests, and 
'^ they that minister of the Levites; 
they shall go in, for they «re holy : 
but all the people shall keep the 
watch of the Lord. 

7 And the Levites shall compass the 
king round about, every man with his 
weapons in his hand ; and whosoever 
else cometh into the house, he shall 
be put to death: but be ye with the 
king when he cometh in, and when 
he goeth out. 

8 So the Levites and all Judah did 
according to all things that Jehoia- 
da the priest had commanded, and 
took every man his men that were to 
come in on the sabbath, with them 
that were to go out on the sabbath: 
for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not 
<^the courses. 

9 Moreover, Jehoiada the priest de- 
Hvered to the captains of hundreds 
spears, and bucklers, and shields, that 
had been king David's, which were 
in the house of God. 

10 And he set all the people, every 
man having his weapon in his hand, 
from the right f side of the f temple 
to the left side of the temple, along 
by the altar and the temple, by the 
king round about. 

1 1 Then they brought out the king's 
son, and put upon him the crown, and 
^gave him the testimony, and made 
him king. And Jehoiada and his 
sons anointed him, and said, f God 
save the king. 

12 H Now when Athaliah heard the 
noise of the people running and 
praising the king, she came to the 
people into the house of the Lord: 

13 And she looked, and behold, the 
king stood at his pillar at the enter- 
ing in, and the princes and the trum- 
pets by the king: and all the people 
of the land rejoiced, and sounded with

trumpets ; also the singers with instru- 
ments of music, and s such as taught 
to sing praise. Then AthaUah rent her 
clothes, and said,! Treason, treason ! 

14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought 
out the captains of hundreds that were 
set over the host, and said unto them, 
Have her forth of the ranges : and 
whoso followeth her, let him be slain 
with the sword. For the priest said, 
Slay her not in the house ofthe Lord. 

15 So they laid hands on her ; and 
when she was come to the enter- 
ing h of the horse-gate by the king's 
house, they slew her there. 

16 ■[[ And Jehoiada made a covenant 
between him, and between all the 
people, and between the king, that 
they should be the Lord's people. 

17 Then all the people went to the 
house of BaaV and brake it down, 
and brake his altars and his images 
in pieces, and 'slew Mattan the 
priest of Baal before the altars. 

18 Also Jehoiada appointed the of- 
fices ofthe house ofthe Lord by the 
hand ofthe priests the Levites, whom 
David had '= distributed in the house 
ofthe Lord, to offer the burnt-offer- 
ings of the Lord, as it is written in 
the 'law of Moses, with rejoicing 
and with singing, as it was ordained 
f by David. 

19 And he set the •" porters at the 
gates of the house of the Lord, that 
none which was unclean in any thing 
should enter in. 

20 " And he took the captains of 
hundreds, and the nobles, and the 
governors of the people, and all the 
people ofthe land, and brought down 
the king from the house ofthe Lord: 
and they came through the high gate 
into the king's house, and set the 
king upon the throne ofthe kingdom. 

21 And all the people of the land

CHRONICLES. The temple repaired. 

His mother's name also was Zibiah 
of Beer-sheba. 

2 And Joash ^did that which was 
right in the sight of the Lord all the 
days of Jehoiada the priest. 

3 And Jehoiada took for him two 
wives ; and he begat sons and daugh- 
ters. 

4 TI And it came to pass after this, 
that Joash was minded f to repair the 
house of the Lord. 

5 And he gathered together the 
priests and the Levites, and said to 
them. Go out unto the cities of Ju- 
dah, and <= gather of all Israel money 
to repair the house of your God from 
year to year, and see that ye hasten 
the matter. Howbeit the Levites 
hastened it not. 

6 d And the kingcalled for Jehoiada 
the chief, and said unto him. Why 
hast thou not required of the Levites 
to bring in out of Judah and out of 
Jerusalem the collection, according 
to the commandment of ^ Moses the 
servant ofthe Lord, and ofthe con- 
gregation of Israel, for the '"taberna- 
cle of witness ? 

7 For s the sons of Athaliah, that 
wicked woman, had broken up the 
house of God ; and also all the ^ de- 
dicated things of the house of the 
Lord did they bestow upon Baalim. 

8 And at the king's commandment 
'they made a chest, and set it without 
at the gate of the house ofthe Lord. 

9 And they made f a proclamation 
through Judah and Jerusalem, to 
bring in to the Lord ^the collec- 
tion that Moses the servant of God 
laid upon Israel in the wilderness. 

10 And all the princes and all the 
people rejoiced, and brought in, and 
cast into the chest, until they had 
made an end. 

1 1 Now it came to pass, that at what 
time the chest was brought unto the 
king's office by the hand of the Le- 
vites, and ' when they saw that there 
was much money, the king's scribe 
and the high priest's officer came and 
emptied the chest, and took it, and 
carried it to his place again. Thus 
they did day by day, and gathered 
money in abundance. 

12 And the king and Jehoiada gave 
it to such as did the work ofthe ser- 
vice of the house ofthe Lord, and

hired masons and carpenters to repair 
the house of the Lord, and also such 
as wrought iron and brass to mend 
the house of the Lord. 

13 So the workmen wrought, and 
f the work was perfected by them, 
and they set the house of God in his 
state, and strengthened it. 

14 And when they had finished it, 
they brought the rest of the money j 
before the king and Jehoiada,™where- \ 
of were made vessels forthe house of! 
the Lord, even vessels to minister, 
and II to offer withal, and spoons, and 
vessels of gold and silver. And they 
offered burnt-offerings in the house 
of the Lord continually all the days 
of Jehoiada. 

15 TlBut Jehoiada waxed old, and 
was full of days when he died ; a 
hundred and thirty years old was he 
when he died. 

16 And they buried him in the city 
of David among the kings, because 
he had done good in Israel, both to- 
ward God, and toward his house. 

17 Now after the death of Jehoiada 
came the princes of Judah, and made 
obeisance to the king. Then the king 
hearkened unto them. 

18 And they left the house of the 
Lord God of their fathers, and served 
"groves and idols : and owrath came 
upon Judah and Jerusalem for this 
their trespass. 

19 Yet he Psent prophets to them, 
to bring them again unto the Lord ; 
and they testified against them : but 
they would not give ear. 

20 And <ithe Spirit of God t came 
upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada 
the priest, which stood above the 
people, and said unto them. Thus 
saith God, "^Why transgress ye the 
commandments of the Lord, that ye 
cannot prosper ? ^because ye have 
forsaken the Lord, he hath also for- 
saken you. 

21 And they conspired against him, 
and 'stoned him with stones at the 
commandment of the king, in the 
court of the house of the Lord. 

22 Thus Joash the king remember- 
ed not the kindness which Jehoiada 
his father had done to him, but slew 
his son. And when he died, he said, 
The Lord look upon it, and require it.

end of the year, that " the host of 
S}Tia came up against him: and they 
came to Judah and Jerusalem, and 
destroyed all the princes of the peo- 
ple from among the people, and sent 
all the spoil of them unto the king of 
f Damascus. 

24 For the army of the Syrians 
^came with a small company of men, 
and the Lord y delivered a very great 
host into their hand, because they 
had forsaken the Lord God of their 
fathers. So they ^executed judgment 
against Joash. 

25 And when they were departed 
from him, (for they left him in great 
diseases,) *his own servants con- 
spired against him for the blood of 
the ''sons of Jehoiada the priest, and 
slew him on his bed, and he died : 
and they buried him in the city of 
David, but they buried him not in 
the sepulchres of the kings. 

26 And these are they that con- 
spired against him ; || Zabad the son 
of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and 
Jehozabad the son of || Shimrith a 
Moabitess. 

27 ^ Now concerning his sons, and 
the greatness of ^^the burdens laid 
upon him, and the f repairing of the 
house of God, behold, they are writ- 
ten in the || story of the book of the 
kings. <iAnd Amaziah his son reign- 
ed in his stead.

with their dismission, spoil as they return home.

the prophet. 1 7 He provokelh Joash to h is over-

AMAZL\H ^was twenty and five 
years old ichen he began to reign, 
and he reigned twenty and nine years 
in Jerusalem. And his mother's name 
was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 

2 And he did that which was right 
in the sight of the Lord, ''but not 
with a perfect heart. 

3 H <=Now it came to pass, when the 
kingdom was f established to him, 
that he slew his servants that had 
killed the king his father. 

4 But he slew not their children,

but did as it is written in the law in 
the book of Moses, where the Lord 
commanded, saying, "^The fathers 
shall not die for the children, neither 
shall the children die for the fathers, 
but every man shall die for his own sin. 

5 TI Moreover, Amaziah gathered Ju- 
dah together, and made them captains 
over thousands, and captains over 
hundreds, according to the houses of 
their fathers, throughout all Judah 
and Benjamin: and he numbered 
them efrom twenty years old and 
above, and found them three hun- 
dred thousand choice men, able to 
go forth to war, that could handle 
spear and shield. 

6 He hired also a hundred thou- 
sand mighty men of valour out of Is- 
rael for a hundred talents of silver. 

7 But there came a man of God to 
him, saying, O king, let not the army 
of Israel go with thee ; for the Lord 
is not with Israel, to wit, witli alL the 
children of Ephraim. 

8 But if thou wilt go, do it, be 
strong for the battle : God shall make 
thee fall before the enemy : for God 
hath fpowertohelp, and to cast down. 

9 And Amaziah said to the man of 
God, But what shall we do for the 
hundred talents which I have given 
to the farmy of Israel? And the man 
of God answered, s The Lord is able 
to give thee much more than this. 

10 Then Amaziah separated them, 
to wit, the army that was come to 
him out of Ephraim, to go f home 
again : wherefore their anger was 
greatly kindled against Judah, and 
they returned home fin great anger. 

11 IT And Amaziah strengthened 
himself, and led forth his people, and 
went to h the valley of Salt, and smote 
of the children of Seir ten thousand. 

12 And other ten thousand left alive 
did the children of Judah carry away 
captive, and brought them unto the 
top of the rock, and cast them down 
from the top of the rock, that they 
all were broken in pieces. 

13 II But f the soldiers of the army 
which Amaziah sent back, that they 
should not go with him to battle, 
fell upon the cities of Judah, from 
Samaria even unto Beth-horon, and 
smote three thousand of them, and 
took much spoil.

CHRONICLES. His challenge to the king of Israel. 

14 If Now it came to pass, after that 
Amaziah was come from the slaugh- 
ter of the Edomites, that 'he brought 
the gods of the children of Seir, and 
set them up to be ''his gods, and 
bowed down himself before them, 
and burned incense unto them. 

1 5 Wherefore the anger of the Lord 
was kindled against Amaziah, and he 
sent unto him a prophet, which said 
unto him. Why hast thou sought af- 
ter 'the gods of the people, which 
"'could not deliver their own people 
out of thy hand ? 

16 And it came to pass, as he talked 
with him, that the king said unto him, 
Art thou made of the king's counsel 1 
forbear; why shouldest thou be smit- 
ten ? Then the prophet forbare, and 
said, I know that God hath f "deter- 
mined to destroy thee, because thou 
hast done this, and hast not heark- 
ened unto my counsel. 

17 TIThen ° Amaziah king of Ju- 
dah took advice, and sent to Joash, 
the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Je- 
hu, king of Israel, saying. Come, let 
us see one another in the face. 

18 And Joash king of Israel sent 
to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, 
The II thistle that was in Lebanon 
sent to the cedar that ivas in Leba- 
non, saying. Give thy daughter to 
my son to wife : and there passed 
by f a wild beast that was in Leba- 
non, and trode down the thistle. 

19 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smit- 
ten the Edomites ; and thy heart 
lifteth thee up to boast : abide nov/ at 
home ; why shouldest thou meddle to 
thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, 
even thou, and Judah with thee ? 

20 But Amaziah would not hear ; 
for Pit came of God, that he might 
deliver them into the hand of their 
enemies, because they q sought after 
the gods of Edom. 

21 So Joash the king of Israel went 
up ; and they saw one another in the 
face, both he and Amaziah king of 
Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which be- 
longeth to Judah. 

22 And Judah was f put to the 
worse before Israel, and they fled 
every man to his tent. 

23 And Joash the king of Israel took 
Amaziah king of Judah, the soji of 
Joash, the son of ""Jehoahaz, at Beth

24 And he took all the gold and

found in the house of God with Obed- 
edom, and the treasures of the king's 
house, the hostages also, and return-

25 H « And Amaziah, the son of Joash

Joash, son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, 
fifteen years. 

26 Now the rest of the acts of Ama- 
ziah, first and last, behold, are they 
not written in the book of the kings 
of Judah and Israel ? 

27 IF Now after the time that Ama- 
ziah did turn away f from following 
the Lord they f made a conspiracy 
against him in Jerusalem ; and he 
fled to Lachish : but they sent to La-

8 And the Ammonites *"gave gifts 
to Uzziah: and his name f spread 
abroad even to the entering in of 
Egypt : for he strengthened himself 
exceedingly. 

9 Moreover, Uzziah built towers in 
Jerusalem at the s corner-gate, and at 
the valley-gate, and at the turning of 
the wall, and || fortified them. 

10 Also he built towers in the de-

had much cattle, both in the low 
country, and in the plains ; hus-

the mountains, and in || Carmel : for 
he loved f husbandry. 

1 1 jMoreover, Uzziah had a host of 
fighting men, that went out to war 
by bands, according to the number of 
their account by the hand of Jeiel 
the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, 
under the hand of Hananiah, one of

12 The whole number of the chief

valour were two thousand and six 
hundred. 

13 And under their hand was fan 
army, three hundred thousand and 
seven thousand and five hundred, 
that made war with mighty power,

19 ThenUzziah was wroth, andhad 
a censer in his hand to burn incense : 
and while he was wroth with the 
priests, °the leprosy even rose up in 
his forehead before the priests in the 
house of the Lord, from beside the

1 Ahaz reigning very wickedly is greatly afflicted 
by the Syrians. 6 Judah being captivated by 
the Israelites is sent home by the counsel of 
Oded the prophet. \& Ahaz sending for aid to 
Assyria is not helped thereby. 22 In his dis- 
tress he groweth more idolatrous. 26 He dying, 
Hezekiah succeedeth him. 

HAZ ^was twenty years old 
when he began to reign, and 
he reigned sixteen years in Jerusa- 
lem : but he did not that which was 
right in the sight of the Lord, like 
David his father : 

2 For he walked in the ways of the 
kings of Israel, and made also ^ mol- 
ten images for •= Baalim. 

3 Moreover, he || burnt incense m 
"J the valley of the son of Hinnom, 
and burnt ^his children in the fire, 
after the abominations of the hea- 
then whom the Lord had cast out 
before the children of Israel. 

4 He sacrificed also and burnt in- 
cense in the high places, and on the 
hills, and under every green tree. 

5 Wherefore *"the Lord his God 
delivered him into the hand of the 
king of Syria ; and they s smote him, 
and carried away a great multitude 
of them captives, and brought them 
to I Damascus. And he was also 
delivered into the hand of the king 
of Israel, who smote him with a 
great slaughter.

the feeble of them upon asses, and 
brought them to Jericho, nthe city 
of palm-trees, to their brethren : then 
they returned to Samaria. 

16 H^^At that time did king Ahaz 
send unto the kings of Assyria to 
help him. 

17 For again the Edomites had 
come and smitten Judah, and cai'- 
ried away j captives. 

18 sThe Philistines also had im-ad- 
ed the cities of the low country, and 
of the south of Judah, and had taken 
Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and Ge- 
deroth, and Shocho with the villages 
thereof, and Timnah with the villages 
thereof, Gimzo also and the villages 
thereof : and they dwelt there. 

19 For the Lord brought Judah 
low because of Ahaz king of 'Israel : 
for he "made Judah naked, and trans- 
gressed soi-e asrainst the Lord. 

20 And ^'Tilgath-pilneser king of 
Assyria came unto him, and distress- 
ed him, but strengthened him not. 

21 For Ahaz took away a portion 
out of the house of the Lord, and 
out of the house of the king, and of 
the princes, and gave it unto the king 
of Assyria : but he helped iiim not. 

22 TI And in the time of his distress 
did he trespass yet more against the 
Lord : this is that king Ahaz. 

23 For > he sacrificed unto the gods 
of t Damascus, which smote him: 
and he said, Because the gods of the 
kings of Syria help them, therefore 
will I sacrifice to them, that ^they 
may help me. But they were the 
ruin of him, and of all Israel. 

24 And Ahaz gathered together the 
vessels of the house of God, and cut 
in pieces the vessels of the house of 
God, ^'and shut up the doors of the 
house of the Lord, and he made him 
altars in every corner of Jerusalem, 

25 And in every several city of Ju- 
dah he made high places || to burn in- 
cense unto other gods, and provoked 
to anger the Lord God of his fathers. 

26 ll i^Now the rest of his acts and 
of all his ways, first and last, behold, 
they are w'ritten in the book of the 
kings of Judah and Israel. 

27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, 
and they buried him in the city, even 
in Jerusalem : but they brought him 
not into the sepulchres of the kings

twenty years in Jerusalem. And his

2 And he did that ivhich was right 
in the sight of the Lord, according to 
all that David his father had done. 

3 HHe, in the first year of his reign, 
in the first month, <= opened the doors 
of the house of the Lord, and re- 
paired them. 

4 And he brought in the priests and 
the Levites, and gathered them toge- 
ther into the east street, 

5 And said unto them, Hear me, ye 
Levites; ^ Sanctify now yourselves, 
and sanctify the house of the Lord 
God of your fathers, and carry forth 
the filthiness out of the holy place. 

6 For our fathers have trespassed, 
and done that which was evil in the 
eyes of the Lord our God, and have 
forsaken him, and have « turned away 
their faces from the habitation of the 
Lord, and f turned their backs. 

7 '"Also they have shut up the doors 
of the porch, and put out the lamps, 
and have not burned incense nor of- 
fered burnt-offerings in the holy 2:>/ace 
unto the God of Israel. 

8 Wherefore the s wrath of the 
Lord was upon Judah and Jerusa- 
lem, and he hath delivered them to 
f trouble, to astonishment, and to 
I'hissing, as ye see with your eyes. 

9 For lo, 'our fathers have fallen 
by the sword, and our sons and our 
daughters and our wives are in cap-

10 Now it is in my heart to make 
^a covenant with the Lord God of 
Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn 
away from us.

CHRONICLES. The house of God cleansed 

hath the son of Amasai, and Joel the 
son of Azariah, of the sons of the 
Kohathites : and of the sons of Me- 
rari ; Kish the son of Abdi, and Aza- 
riah the son of Jehalelel : and of the 
Gershonites ; Joah the son of Zim- 
mah, and Eden the son of Joah : 

13 And of the sons of Elizaphan ; 
Shimri, and Jeiel : and of the sons of 
Asaph ; Zechariah, and Mattaniah : 

14 And of the sons of Heman ; Je- 
hiel, and Shimei : and of the sons of 
Jeduthun ; Shemaiah, and Uzziel. 

15 And they gathered their bre- 
thren, and n> sanctified themselves, 
and came, according to the com- 
mandment of the king, || by the 
words of the Lord, "to cleanse the 
house of the Lord. 

16 And the priests went into the 
inner part of the house of the Lord, 
to cleanse it, and brought out all the 
uncle anness that they found in the 
temple of the Lord into the court of 
the house of the Lord. And the 
Levites took it, to carry it out 
abroad into the brook Kidron. 

17 Now they began on the first day 
of the first month to sanctify, and on 
the eighth day of the month came 
they to the porch of the Lord : so 
they sanctified the house of the Lord, 
in eight days ; and in the sixteenth 
day of the first month they made an 
end. 

18 Then they went in to Hezekiah 
the king, and said, We have cleansed 
all the house of the Lord, and the 
altar of burnt-offering, with all the 
vessels thereof, and the shew-bread 
table, with all the vessels thereof. 

19 Moreover all the vessels, which 
king Ahaz in his reign did °cast 
away in his transgression, have we 
pi'epared and sanctified, and behold, 
they are before the altar of the Lord. 

20 *1I Then Hezekiah the king rose 
early, and gathered the rulers of the 
city, and went up to the house of the 
Lord. 

21 And they brought seven bul- 
locks, and seven rams, and seven 
lambs, and seven he-goats, for a P sin- 
offering for the kingdom, and for the 
sanctuary, and for Judah. And he 
commanded the priests the sons of 
Aaron to offer them on the altar of 
the Lord.

Hezckiafi's solemn sacrifices. CHAP. XXX. 

22 So they killed the bullocks, and 
the priests received the blood, and 
1 sprinkled it on the altar ; likewise, 
when they had killed the rams, they 
sprinkled the blood upon the altar : 
they killed also the lambs, and they 
sprinkled the blood upon the altar. 

23 And they brought f forth the he- 
goats /or the sin-ottering before the 
king and the congregation ; and they 
laid their '^hands upon them : 

24 And the priests killed them, and 
they made reconciliation with their 
blood upon the altar, ^ to make an 
atonement for all Israel : for the king 
commanded that the burnt-offering 
and the sin-offering should be made 
for all Israel. 

25 ' And he set the Levites in the 
house of the Lord with cymbals, 
with psalteries, and with harps, "ac- 
cording to the commandment of 
David, and of * Gad the king's seer, 
and Nathan the prophet : > for so 
was the commandment f of the Loud 
f by his prophets. 

20 And the Levites stood with the 
instruments ^ of David, and the 
priests with ^'the trumpets. 

27 And Hezekiah commanded to 
offer the burnt-offering upon the al- 
tar. And t when the burnt-offering 
began, ^ the song of the Lord began 
also with the trumpets, and with the 
t instruments orrfamerf by David king 
of Israel. 

28 And all the congregation wor- 
shipped, and the f singers sang, and 
the trumpeters sounded : and all t/iis 
continued until the burnt-offering 
was finished. 

29 And when they had made an 
end of offering, <=tlie king and all 
that were f present with him bowed 
themselves, and worshipped. 

30 Moreover, Hezekiah the king 
and the princes commanded the Le- 
vites to sing praise unto the Lord with 
the words of David, and of Asaph 
the seer. And they sang praises with 
gladness, and they bowed their heads 
and worshipped. 

31 Then Hezekiah answered and 
said. Now ye have || consecrated your- 
selves unto the Lord, come near and 
bring sacrifices and ''thank-offerings 
into the house of the Lord. And 
the congregation brought in sacrifices

and thank-offerings ; and, as many as 
were of a free heart, burnt-offerings. 

32 And the number of the burnt- 
offerings, which the congregation 
brought, was threescore and ten bul- 
locks, a hundred rams, and two hun- 
dred lambs : all these were for a 
burnt-offering to the Lord. 

33 And the consecrated things, we?-e 
six hundred oxen and three thousand 
sheep. 

34 But the priests were too few, so 
that they could not flay all the burnt- 
offerings : wherefore ^ their brethren 
the Levites f did help them till the 
work was ended, and until the otlier 
priests had sanctified themselves : 
'for the Levites loere more e upright 
in heart to sanctify themselves than 
the priests. 

35 And also the burnt-offerings 
were in abundance, with '' the fat of 
the peace-offerings, and 'the drink- 
offerings for etei-y burnt-offering. 
So the service of the house of the 
Lord was set in order. 

3G And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all 
the people, that God had prepared 
the people : for the thing was done 
suddenly.

1 Hezeliiah proclaimeth a solemn passorer on (he 
secoiidnionthJorJiKlah and Israel. 13 The as- 
sembly, liatins; destroyed the altars of idolatry, 
kceji the feast fourteen days. 27 The priests 
and Levites bless the people. 

AND Hezekiah sent to all Israel 
and Judah, and wrote letters 
also to Ephraim and ]Manasseh, that 
they should come to the house of the 
Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the pass- 
over unto the Lord God of Israel. 

2 For the king had taken counsel, 
and his princes, and all the congre- 
gation in Jerusalem, to keep the pass- 
over in the second =1 month. 

3 For they could not keep it ^ at 
that time, "= because the priests had 
not sanctified themselves sufficient- 
ly, neither had the people gathered 
themselves together to Jerusalem. 

4 And the thing f pleased the king 
and all the congregation. 

5 So they established a decree to 
make proclamation throughout all Is- 
rael, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, 
that they should come to keep the 
passover unto the Lord God of Is- 
rael at Jerusalem: for they had not 

499 



Jlozekiah proclaimeth a passover, 11. 

done it of a long time in such sort as 
it was written. 

6 So the posts went with the let- 
ters f from the king and his princes 
throughout all Israel and Judah, and 
according to the commandment of 
the king, saying, Ye children of Is- 
rael, d turn again unto the Lord 
God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, 
and he will return to the remnant of 
you that are escaped out of the hand 
of e the kings of Assyria. 

7 And be not ye f like your fathers, 
and like your brethren, which tres- 
passed against the Lord God of their 
fathers, who therefore ggave them 
up to desolation, as ye see. 

8 Now I be ye not ^^ stiff-necked, as 
your fathers were, but f yield your- 
selves unto the Lord, and enter in- 
to his sanctuary, which he hath 
sanctified for ever: and serve the 
Lord your God, ' that the fierceness 
of his wrath may turn away from you. 

9 For if ye turn again unto the 
Lord, your brethren and your chil- 
dren shall find ^ compassion before 
them that lead them captive, so that 
they shall come again into this land 
for the Lord your God is ^ gracious 
and merciful, and will not turn away 
his face from you, if ye ""return unto 
him. 

10 So the posts passed from city to 
city through the country of Ephraim 
and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: 
but " they laughed them to scorn, and 
mocked them. 

1 1 Nevertheless, ° divers of Aslier 
and Manasseh and of Zebulun hum- 
bled themselves, and came to Jeru- 
salem. 

12 Also in Judah Pthe hand of God 
was to give them one heart to do the 
commandment of the king and of the 
princes, qby the word of the Lord. 

13 "[[And there assembled at Jeru- 
salem much people to keep the feast 
of unleavened bread in the second 
month, a very great congregation. 

14 And they arose and took away 
the "^altars that ivere in Jerusalem, 
and all the altars for incense took 
they away, and cast them into the 
brook Kidron.

16 And they stood in -j- their place 
after their manner, according to the 
law of Moses the man of God : the 
priests sprinkled the blood, which 
they received of the hand of the Le- 
vites. 

17 For there were many in the con- 
gregation that were not sanctified : 
t therefore the Levites had the charge 
of the killing of the passovers for 
every one that was not clean, to 
sanctify tliem unto the Lord. 

18 For a multitude of the people, 
even "many of Ephraim, and Ma- 
nasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had 
not cleansed themselves, ^yet did 
they eat the passover otherwise than 
it was written. But Hezekiah pray- 
ed for them, saying, The good Lord 
pardon every one 

19 That y prepare th his heart to 
seek God, the Lord God of his fa- 
thers, though he he not cleansed ac- 
cording to the purification of the 
sanctuary. 

20 And the Lord hearkened to 
Hezekiah, and healed the people. 

21 And the children of Israel that\ 
were f present at Jerusalem kept 
2 the feast of unleavened bread seven 
days with great gladness : and the 
Levites and the priests praised the 
Lord day by day, singing with 
f loud instruments unto the Lord. 

22 And Hezekiah spake f comfort- 
ably unto all the Levites ^^that taught 
the good knowledge of the Lord: 
and they did eat throughout the feast 
seven days, offering peace-ofierings, 
and ^ making confession to the Lord 
God of their fathers. 

23 And the whole assembly took 
counsel to keep ^other seven days: 
and they kept other seven days with 
gladness. 

24 For Hezekiah king of Judah 
t '' did give to the congregation a 
thousand bullocks and seven thou- 
sand sheep ; and the princes gave to 
the congregation athousand bullocks 
and ten thousand sheep : and a great 
number of priests <= sanctified them- 
selves.

26 So there was great joy in Jeru- 
salem : for since the time of Solo- 
mon the son of David king of Israel 
thei-e was not the like in Jerusalem. 

27 TI Then the priests the Levites 
arose and s blessed the people: and 
their voice was heard, and their

NOWwhen all this was finished,all 
Israel that were f present went 
out to the cities of Judah, and ^brake 
the f images in pieces, and cut down 
tlie groves, and threw down the high 
places and the altars out of all Judah 
and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and 
Manasseh, f until they had utterly 
destroyed them all. Then all the chii 
dren of Israel returned, every man to 
his possession, into their own cities. 

2 il And Hezekiah appointed ''the

ing to his service, tiie priests and 
Levites ^for burnt-olfcrings and for 
peace-offerings, to minister, and to

evening burnt-offerings, and the 
burnt-offerings for the sabbaths, and 
for the new-moons, and for the set

the Lord. 

4 Moreover, he commanded the peo 
pie that dwelt in Jerusalem to give 
the "= portion of the priests and the 
Levites, that they might be encou- 
raged in 'the law of the Lord. 

5 TI And as soon as the command- 
ment fcame abroad, the children of 
Israel brought in abundance &the

Tithes and first-fruits brought in. 

6 And concerning the children of 
Israel and Judah, that dw^elt in the 
cities of Judah, they also brought in 
the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the 
'' tithe of holy things which were con- 
secrated unto the Lord their God, 
and laid them j by heaps. 

7 In the third month they began to 
lay the foundation of the heaps, and 
finished them in the seventh month. 

8 And when Hezekiah and the 
princes came and saw the heaps, 
they blessed the Lord, and his peo- 
ple Israel. 

9 Then Hezekiah questioned with 
the priests and the Levites concern- 
ing the heaps. 

10 And Azariah the chief priest of 
the house of Zadok answered him, 
and said, 'Since the people began to 
bring the offerings into the house of 
the Lord, we have had enough to 
eat, and have left plenty : for the 
Lord hath blessed his people ; and 
that which is left is this great store. 

11 Tf Then Hezekiah commanded 
to prepare || chambers in the house 
of the Lord; and they prepared ^//e?«, 

12 And brought in the offerings and 
the tithes, and the dedicated things 
faithfully: '^ovcrwhicii Cononiah the 
Levite was ruler, and Shimei his bro- 
ther icus the next. 

13 And Jehicl, and Azaziah, and 
Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, 
and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Isma- 
chiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, 
were overseers f under the hand of 
Cononiah and Sliimci his brother, at 
the commandment of Hezekiah the 
king, and Azariah the ruler of the 
house of God. 

14 And Kore the son of Imnah the 
Levite, the porter toward the east, 
was over the free-will-offerings of 
God, to distribute the oblations of 
the Lord, and the most holy things. 

15 And fnext him uere Eden, and 
jMiniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemai- 
ah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in 'the 
cities of the priests, in their \\ set of- 
fice, to give to their brethren by

16 Besides their genealogy of males,

17 Both to the genealogy of the 
priests by the house of their fatiiers, 
and the Levites '"from twenty years 
old and upward, in their charges, by 
their courses ; 

18 And to the genealogy of all their 
little ones, their wives, and their sons, 
and their daughters, through all the 
congregation : for in their 1| set office 
they sanctified themselves in holiness: 

19 Also of the sons of Aaron the 
priests, t«/Hc/i were in "the fields of 
the suburbs of their cities, in every 
several city, the men that ^eve "ex- 
pressed by name, to give portions to 
all the males among the priests, and 
to all that were reckoned by genea- 
logies among the Levites. 

20 TH And thus did Hezekiah through- 
out all Judah, and P wrought that 
which was good and right and truth 
before the Lord his God. 

21 And in every work that he be- 
gan in the service of the house of 
God, and in the law, and in the com- 
mandments, to seek his God, he did 
it with all his heart, and prospered. 

CHAP. XXXIL 

1 Sennacherib invading Judah, Hezekiah fortifi- 
eth himself, and encourageth his people. 9 
Against the blasphemies of Sennacherib, by 
message and letters, Hezekiah and Isaiah pray. 
21 An angel destroy eth the host of the Assyrians, 
io the glory of Hezekiah. 24 Hezekiah pray ing 
in his sickness, God giveth him a sign of re- 
covery, "jib He waxing prottd is humbled by 
God. '27 His wealth and works, 31 His error 
in the ambassage of Babylon. 32 He dying, 
Manasseh succeedeih him. 

AFTER i^these things, and the 
establishment thereof, Senna- 
cherib king of Assyria came, and 
entered into Judah, and encamped 
against the fenced cities, and thought 
f to win them for himself. 

2 And when Hezekiah saw that 
Sennacherib was come, and that fhe 
was purposed to fight against Jeru- 
salem, 

3 He took counsel with his princes 
and his mighty men to stop the wa- 
ters of the fountains which were with- 
out the city : and they did help him. 

4 So there was gathered much peo- 
ple together, who stopped all the 
fountains, and the brook that f ran 
through the midst of the land, say- 
ing. Why should the kings of Assy- 
ria come, and find much water ?

5 Also ^ he strengthened himself,<= and 
built up all the wall that was broken, 
and raised it up to the towers, and 
another wall without, and repaired 
^ Millo in the city of David, and made 

darts and shields in abundance. 

And he set captains of war over 
the people, and gathered them toge- 
ther to him in the street of the gate 
of the city, and ■\ spake comfortably 
to them, saying, * 

7 ^Be strong and courageous, fbe 
not afraid nor dismayed for the king 
of Assyria, nor for all the multitude 
that is with him : for s there be more 
with us than with him. 

8 With him is an '^arm of flesh ; 
but 'with us is the Lord our God 
to help us, and to fight our battles. 
And the people f rested themselves 
upon the words of Hezekiah king of 
Judah. 

9^ ''After this did Sennacherib 
king of Assyria send his servants to 
Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege 
against Lachish, and all his f power 
with him,) unto Hezekiah king of 
Judah, and unto all Judah that loere 
at Jerusalem, saying, 

10 'Thus saith Sennacherib 
of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that 
ye abide ||in the siege in Jerusalem? 

11 Doth not Hezekiah persuade 
you to give over yourselves to die by 
famine and by thirst, saying, "^The 
Lord our God shall deliver us out 
of the hand of the king of Assyria ? 

12 "^Hath not the same Hezekiah 
taken away his high places, and his 
altars, and commanded Judah and 
Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship 
before one altar, and burn incense 
upon it ? 

13 Know ye not what I and my fa- 
thers have done unto all the people 
oi other lands? "were the gods- of the 
nations of those lands any ways able 
to deliver their lands out of my 
hand ? 

14 Who was there among all the 
gods of those nations that my fathers 
utterly destroyed, that could deliver 
his people out of my hand, that your 
God should be able to deliver you 
out of my hand? 

15 Now therefore Plet not Hezekiah

no god of any nation or kingdom 
was able to deliver his people out of 
my hand, and out of the hand of 
my fathers : how much less shall your 
God deliver you out of my hand ? 

16 And his servants spake yet more 
against the Lord God, and against 
his servant Hezekiah. 

17 <)He wrote also letters to rail 
on the Lord God of Israel, and to 
spe^k against him, saying, ■'As the 
gods of the nations of other lands 
have not delivered their people out 
of my hand, so shall not the God of 
Hezekiah deliver his people out of 
my hand. 

18 sThen they cried with a loud 
voice, in the Jews' speech, unto the 
people of Jerusalem 'that were on 
the wall, to affright them, and to 
trouble them ; that they might take 
the city. 

19 And they spake against the God 
of Jerusalem, as against the gods of 
the people of the earth, which were 
"the work of the hands of man. 

20 ==And for this cause Hezekiah 
the king, and Jthe prophet Isaiah 
the son of Amoz, prayed and cried 
to heaven. 

21 11=^ And the Lord sent an an- 
gel, which cut off all the mighty men 
of valour, and the leaders and cap- 
tains in the camp of the king of As- 
syria. So he returned with shame of 
face to his own land. And when he 
was come into the house of his god, 
they that came forth of his own how- 
els t slew him there Avith the sword. 

22 Thus the Lord saved Hezekiah 
and the inhabitantsof Jerusalem from 
the hand of Sennacherib the king of 
Assyria, and from the hand of all 
other, and guided them on every side. 

23 And many brought gifts unto the 
Lord to Jerusalem, and f "presents 
to Hezekiah king of Judah : so that 
he was ''magnitied in the sight of all 
nations from thenceforth. 

24 "H'^In those days Hezekiah was 
sick to the death, and prayed unto 
the Lord : and he spake unto him, 
and he || gave him a sign* 

25 But Hezekiah <i rendered not 
again according to the benefit done 
unto him ; for "^his heart was lifted 
up : '"therefore there was wrath upon 
him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

Hezekiah' s 7-iches and works 

26 e Notwithstanding, Hezekiah 
humbled himself for t the pride of 
his heart, both he and the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of 
the Lord came not upon them i^ui 
the days of Hezekiah. 

27 TI And Hezekiah had exceeding 
much riches and honour: and he 
made himself treasuries for silver, and 
for gold, and for precious stones, and 
for spices, and for shields, and for all 
manner of f pleasant jewels : 

28 Storehouses also for the increase 
of corn, and wine, and oil ; and stalls 
for all manner of beasts, and cotes 
for flocks. 

29 Moreover, he provided him cities, 
and possessions of flocks and herds 
in abundance: for 'God had given 
him substance very much. 

30 •'This same Hezekiah also stop- 
ped the upper water-course ofGihon, 
and brought it straight down to the 
west side of the city of David. And 
Hezekiah prospered in all his works. 

31 Ti Howbeit, in the business of the 
J ambassadors of the princes of Ba- 
bylon, who 'sent unto him to in- 
quire of the wonder that was done in 
the land, God left him, to '"try him, 
that he might know all tJiat was in 
his heart. 

32 H Now the rest of the acts of 
Hezekiah, and his f goodness, be- 
hold, they are written in "the vision 
of Isaiah the prophet, the son of A- 
moz, and in the "book of the kings 
of Judah and Israel. 

33 PAnd Hezekiah slept with his 
fathers, and they buried him in the 
II chiefest of the sepulchres of the 
sons of David : and all Judah and 
the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him 
1 honour at his death: and Manas- 
seh his son reigned in his stead.

the Lord had cast out before the 
children of Israel. 

3 T[ For f he built again the high 
places which Hezekiah his father had 
*= broken down ; and he reared up al- 
tars for Baalim, and (^made groves, 
and worshipped ^all the host of hea- 
ven, and served them. 

4 Also he built altars in the house 
of the Lord, whereof the Lord had 
said, fin Jerusalem shall my name 
be for ever. 

5 And he built altars for all the 
host of heaven sin the two courts of 
the house of the Lord. 

6 ''And he caused his children to 
pass through the fire in the valley of 
the son of Hinnom : 'also he observ- 
ed times, and used enchantments, 
and used witchcraft, and >< dealt with 
a familiar spirit, and with wizards : 
he wrought much evil in the sight of 
the Lord, to provoke him to anger. 

7 And 'he set a carved image, the 
idol which he had made, in the house 
of God, of which God had said to 
David and to Solomon his son. In 
"•this house and in Jerusalem, which 
I have chosen before all the tribes of 
Israel, will I put my name for ever : 

8 " Neither will I any more remove 
the foot of Israel from out of the land 
which I have appointed for your fa- 
thers ; so that they will take heed to 
do all that I have commanded them, 
according to the whole law and the 
statutes and the ordinances by the 
hand of Moses.

inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and 
to do worse than the heathen, whom 
the Lord had destroyed before the 
children of Israel. 

10 And the Lord spake to Manas- 
seh, and to his people : but they would 
not hearken. 

1 1 11° Wherefore the Lord brought 
upon them the captains of the host 
t of the king of Assyria, which took 
Manasseh among the thorns, and 
P bound him with || fetters, and car-

was ''entreated of him, and heard his 
supplication, and brought him again 
to Jerusalem into his kingdom , Then 
Manasseh ^knew that the Lord he 
was God. 

14 Now after this, he built a wall 
without the city of David, on the 
west side of ^Gihon, in the valley, 
even to the entering in at the fish- 
gate, and compassed " about H Ophel, 
and raised it up a very great height, 
and put captains of war in all the 
fenced cities of Judah. 

15 And he took away '^the strange 
gods, and the idol out of the house 
of the Lord, and all the altars that 
he had built in the mount of the 
house of the Lord, and in Jerusa- 
lem, and cast them out of the city. 

16 And he repaired the altar of the 
Lord, and sacrificed thereon peace- 
offerings and y thank-offerings, and 
commanded Judah to serve the Lord 
God of Israel. 

17 ^Nevertheless, the people did sa- 
crifice still in the high places, yet un- 
to the Lord their God only. 

18 II Now the rest of the acts of 
Manasseh, and his prayer unto his 
God, and the words of ''^ the seers that 
spake to him in the name of the Lord 
God of Israel, behold, they are writ- 
ten in the book of the kings of Israel. 

19 His prayer also, and how God 
was entreated of him, and all his sin, 
and his trespass,and the places where- 
in he built high places, and set up 
groves and graven images, before he 
was humbled : behold, they are writ- 
ten among the sayings of )| the seers. 

20 TI i' So Manasseh slept with his 
fathers, and they buried him in his 
own house : and Amon his son reign- 
ed in his stead. 

21 TI^^Amon was two and twenty 
years old when he began to rejgn, 
and reigned two years in Jerusalem. 

22 But he did that which was evil 
in the sight of the Lord, as did Ma- 
nasseh his father : for Amon sacri- 
ficed unto all the carved images which 
Manasseh his father had made, and 
served them ; 

23 And humbled not himself be- 
fore the Lord, <^as Manasseh his fa- 
ther had humbled himself; but Amon 
f trespassed more and more. 

24 ^ And his servants conspired a-

25 TlBut the people of the land slew 
all them that had conspired against 
king Amon ; and the people of ihe 
land made Josiah his son lung in his 
stead.

JOSIAH ^was eight years old 
when he began to reign, and he 
reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty 
years. 

2 And he did that which was right 
in the sight of the Lord, and walked 
in the ways of David his father, and 
declined neither to the right hand, 
nor to the left. 

3 *![ For in the eighth year of his 
reign, while he was yet young, he 
began to ''seek after the God of Da- 
vid his father: and in the twelfth 
year he began <=to purge Judah and 
Jerusalem ^ from the high places, and 
the groves, and the carved images, 
and the molten images. 

4 •= And they brake down the altars 
of Baalim in his presence ; and the 

II images, that icere on higli above 
them, he cut down ; and the groves, 
and the carved images, and the mol- 
ten images, he brake in pieces, and 
made dust of them, ''and strewed it 
upon the f graves of them that had 
sacrificed unto them. 

5 And he ffburnt the bones of the 
priests upon their altars, and cleansed 
Judah and Jerusalem. 

G And so did he in the cities of Ma- 
nasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, 
even unto Naphtali, with their || mat- 
tocks round about. 

7 And when he had broken down 
the altars and the groves, and had 
^ beaten the graven images f into 
powder, and cut down all the idols 
throughout all the land of Israel, he 
returned to Jerusalem. 

8 TI Now ' in the eighteenth year of 
his reign, when he had purged the 
land, and the house, he sent Shaphan 
the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the 
governor of the city, and Joah the

9 And when they came to Hilkiah 
the high priest, they delivered ^ the 
money that was brought into the 
house of God, which the Levites that 
kept the doors bad gathered of the 
hand ofManasseh and Ephraim, and 
of all the remnant of Israel, and of 
all Judah and Benjamin ; and they 
returned to Jerusalem. 

10 And they put itm the hand of 
the workmen that had the oversight 
of the house of the Lord, and they 
gave it to the workmen that wrought 
in the house of the Lord, to repair 
and mend the house : 

1 1 Even to the artificers and build- 
ers gave they it, to buy hewn stone, 
and timber for couplings, and || to 
floor the houses which the kings of 
Judah had destro3ed. 

12 And the men did the work faith- 
fully: and the overseers of themwere 
Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of 
the sons of INIerari ; and Zcchariah 
and Meshullam, of the sons of the 
Kohathites, to set it forward ; and 
other of the Levites, all that could 
skill of instruments of music. 

13 Also theij were over the bearer.? 
of burdens, and were overseers of all 
that wrought the work in any man- 
ner of service: 'and of the Levites 
there were scribes, ^d officers, and 
porters. 

14 H And when they brought out 
the money that was brought into the 
house of the Lord, Hilkiah the 
priest '" found a book of the law of 
the Lord given ■\ by Moses. 

15 And Hilkiah answered and said 
to Shaphan the scribe, I have found 
the book of the law in the house of 
the Lord. And Hilkiah delivered 
the book to Shaphan. 

IG And Shaphan carried the book 
to the king, and brought the king 
word back again, saying, All that 
was committed fto thy servants, 
they do it. 

17 And they have f gathered toge- 
ther the money that was found in the 
house of the Lord, and have deliver- 
ed it into the hand of the overseers, 
and to the hand of the workmen. 

18 Then Shaphan the scribe told 
the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest 

505

hath given me a book. And Sha- 
phan read f it before the king. 

19 And it came to pass when the 
king had heard the words of the law, 
that he rent his clothes. 

20 And the king commanded Hil- 
kiah, and Ahikam the son of Sha- 
phan, and |1 Abdon the son of Micah, 
and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah 
a servant of the king's, saying, 

21 Go, inquire of the Lord for me, 
and for them that are left in Israel, 
and in Judah, concerning the words 
of the book that is found : for great 
is the wrath of the Lord that is pour- 
ed out upon us, because our fathers 
have not kept the word of the Lord, 
to do after all that is written in this 
book. 

22 And Hilkiah, and they that the 
king had appointed, went to Huldah 
the prophetess, the wife of Shallum 
the son of °Tikvath,the son of |1 Has- 
rah, keeper of the f wardrobe ; (now 
she dwelt in Jerusalem || in the col- 
lege :) and they spake to her to that 
effect. 

23 T[ And she answered them. Thus 
saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell ye 
the man that sent you to me, 

24 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I 
will bring evil upon this place, and 
upon the inhabitants thereof, even 
all the curses that are written in the 
book which they have read before 
the king of Judah : 

25 Because they have forsaken me, 
and have burned incense unto other 
gods, that they might provoke me to 
anger with all the works of their 
hands ; therefore my wrath shall be 
poured out upon this place, and shall 
not be quenched. 

26 And as for the king of Judah, 
who sent you to inquire of the Lord, 
so shall ye say unto him. Thus saith 
the Lord God of Israel concerning 
the words which thou hast heard ; 

27 Because thy heart was tender, 
and thou didst humble thyself before 
God when thou heardest his words 
against this place, and against the in- 
habitants thereof, and humbledst thy- 
self before me, and didst rend thy 
clothes, and weep before me ; I have 
even heard thee also, saith the Lord. 

28 Behold, I will gather thee to thy 
fathers, and thou shalt be gathered

29 ^I ° Then the king sent and ga- 
thered together all the elders of Ju-

house of the Lord, and all the men

his commandments, and his testimo- 
nies, and his statutes, with all his 
heart, and with all his soul, to per-

are written in this book. 

32 And he caused all that were 
■j- present in Jerusalem and Benjamin 
to stand to it. And the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem did according to the 
covenant of God, the God of their 
fathers. 

33 And Josiah took away all the 
'i abominations out of all the coun- 
tries that pertained to the children of 
Israel, and made all that were present 
in Israel to serve, even to serve the 
Lord their God. "■ And all his days

4 And prepare yourselves by the 
'houses of your fathers after your 
courses, according to the '^'writing of 
David king of Israel, and according 
to the Hvriting of Solomon his son : 

5 And "stand in the \\o\y place ac- 
cording to the divisions of f the fami- 
lies of the fathers of your brethren 
fthe people, act,' after the division 
of the families o/ the Levites. 

6 So kill the passover, and ° sanctify 
yourselves, and prepare your bre- 
tliren, that they may do according to 
the word of the Lord by the hand 
of Moses. 

7 And Josiah f ogave to the people, 
of the flock, lambs and kids, all for 
the passover-offerings, for all that 
were present, to the number of thirty 
thousand, and three thousand bul- 
locks : these were of the king's sub- 
stance. 

8 And his princes f gave willingly 
unto the people, to the priests, and 
to the Levites : Hilkiah and Zecha- 
riah and Jehiel, rulers of the house 
of God, gave unto the priests for the 
passover-offerings two thousand and 
six iiundred small cattle, and three 
hundred oxen. 

9 Cononiah also, and Shemaiah, and 
Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hasha- 
biah, and Jeiel, and Jozabad, chief of 
the Levites, f gave unto the Levites 
for passover-otlerings five thousand 
small cattle, and five hundred oxen. 

1 So the service was prepared, and 
the priests Pstood in their place, and 
the Levites in their courses, accord- 
ing to the king's commandment. 

11 And they killed the passover, 
and the priests i .sprinkled the blood 
from their hands, and the Levites 
■■flayed them. 

12 And they removed the burnt- 
offerings, that they might give ac- 
cording to the divisions of tlie fami- 
lies of the people, to offer unto the 
Lord, as it is written « in the book 
of Moses. And so did they with the 
oxen. 

1 3 And they * roasted the passover 
with fire according to the ordinance : 
but the other holy offerings "sod they 
in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, 
and f divided them speedily among

for themselves, and for the priests : 
because the priests the sons of Aaron 
were busied in offering of burnt-offer- 
ings and the fat until night ; there- 
fore the Levites prepared for them- 
selves, and for the priests the sons of 
Aaron. 

15 And the singers the sons of 
Asaphue?'e in their f place, according 
to the ^commandment of David, and 
Asaph, andHeman,andJeduthunthe 
king's seer; and the porters y waited 
at every gate ; they might not depart 
from their service ; for their brethren 
the Levites prepared for them. 

16 So all the service of the Lord 
was prepared the same day, to keep 
the passover, and to offer burnt-of- 
ferings upon the altar of the Lord, 
according to the commandment of 
king Josiah. 

17 And the children of Israel that 
were f present kept the passover at 
that time, and the feast of ^ unlea- 
vened bread seven days. 

18 And ^^ there was no passover like 
to that kept in Israel from the days 
of Samuel the prophet ; neither did 
all the kings of Israel keep such a 
passover as Josiah kept, and the 
priests, and the Levites, and all Ju- 
dah and Israel that were present, 
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 

19 In the eighteenth year of the 
reign of Josiah was this passover kept. 

20 II ^' After all this, when Josiah 
had prepared the f temple, Necho 
king of Egypt came up to fight a- 
gainst Charchemish by Euphrates : 
and Josiah went out against him. 

21 But he sent ambassadors to him, 
saying. What have I to do with thee, 
thou king of Judah ? / come not 
against thee this day, but against 
f the house wherewith I have war : 
for God commanded me to make 
haste : forbear thee from meddling 
with God, who is with me, that he 
destroy thee not. 

22 Nevertheless Josiah would not 
turn his face from him, but '^disguis- 
ed himself that he might fight with 
him, and hearkened not unto the 
words of Necho from the mouth of 
God, and came to fight in the valley 
of Megiddo. 

23 And the archers shot at king 
Josiah; and the king said to his ser- 

507

vants, Have me away ; for I am sore

24 ^His servants therefore took him 
out of that chariot, and put him in 
the second chariot that he had; and 
they brought him to Jerusalem, and 
he died, and was buried || in one of 
the sepulchres of his fathers. And 
fall Judah and Jerusalem mourned 
for Josiah, 

25 HAnd Jeremiah ^lamented for 
Josiah : and ^all the singing-men and 
the singing-women spake of Josiah 
in their lamentations to this day, 
'and made them an ordinance in Is- 
rael : and behold, they G?-e written in 
the lamentations. 

26 Now the rest of the acts of Jo- 
siah, and his f goodness, according 
to that which was written in the law 
of the Lord, 

27 And his deeds, first and last, be- 
hold, they are written in the book of 
the kings of Israel and Judah.

13 And mhe also rebelled against 
king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made 
him swear by God: but he "stiffened 
his neck, and hardenedhis heart from

14 TI Moreover, all the chief of the

gathered themselves together as one 
man to Jerusalem. 

2 Then stood up || Jeshua the son 
of Jozadak, and his brethren the

^ Shealtiel, and his brethren, and 
builded the altar of the God of Is-

as it is '^written in the law of Moses

3 And they set the altar upon his 
bases ; for fear was upon them be-

tries : and they offered burnt-offerings 
thereon unto the Lord, even '^ burnt-

tinual burnt-offering, both of the new- 
moons, and of all the set feasts of the 
Lord that were consecrated, and of 
every one that willingly offered a 
free-will-offering unto the Lord. 
. 6 From the first day of the seventh 
month began they to offer burnt- 
offerings unto the Lord. But f the 
foundation of the temple of the Lord 
was not yet laid. 

7 They gave money also unto the 
masons, and to the || carpenters ; and 
' meat, and drink, and oil, unto them 
of Zidon, and to them of Tyi-e, to 
bring cedar-ti-ees from Lebanon to 
the sea of i^ Joppa, ^ according to the 
grant that they had of Cyrus king of 
Persia. 

8 TI Now in the second year of their 
coming unto the house of God at Je- 
rusalem, in the second month, began 
Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and 
Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the 
remnant of their brethren the priests 
and the Levites, and all they that 
were come out of the captivity unto 
Jerusalem ; "" and appointed the Le- 
vites, from twenty years old and up- 
ward, to set forward the work of 
the house of the Lord. 

9 Then stood "Jeshua u)fi!/i his sons 
and his brethren, Kadmiel and his 
sons, the sons of || Judah, f together, 
to set forward the workmen in the 
house of God : the sons of Henadad, 
loith their sons and their brethren 
the Levites. 

10 And when the builders laid the 
foundation of the temple of the Lord, 
o they set the priests in their apparel 
with trumpets, and the Levites the 
sons of Asaph with cymbals, to 
praise the Lord, after the P ordi- 
nance of David king of Israel. 

11 lAnd they sang together by 
course in praising and giving thanks 
unto the Lord ; r because he is good, 
« for his mercy endureth for ever to- 
ward Israel. And all the people shout-

discern the noise of the shout of joy 
from the noise of the weeping of the 
people : for the people shouted with 
a loud shout, and the noise was heard 
afar off.

The decree of Artaxerxes. 23 The building 
is hindered. 

OW when ^the adversaries of 
Judah and Benjamin heard that 
f the cliildren of the captivity build- 
ed the temple unto the Lord God of 
Israel; 

2 Then they came to Zerubbabel, 
and to the chief of the fathers, and 
said unto them, Let us build with 
you : for we seek your God, as ye 
do ; and we do sacrifice unto him 
^ since the days of Esar-haddon king 
of Assur, which brought us up hither. 

3 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and 
the rest of the chief of the fathers of 
Israel, said unto them, <= Ye have no- 
thing to do with us to build a house 
unto our God ; but we ourselves to- 
gether will build unto the Lord God 
of Israel, as ^king Cyrus the king of 
Persia hath commanded us. 

4 Then <= the people of the land 
weakened the hands of the people of 
Judah, and troubled them in build- 
ing, 

5 And hired counsellors against 
them, to frustrate their purpose, all 
the days of Cyrus king of Persia, 
even until the reign of Darius king 
of Persia. 

6 And in the reign of f Ahasuerus, 
in the beginning of his reign, wrote 
they unto him an accusation against 
the inhabitants of Judah and Jeru- 
salem. 

7 TI And in the days of Artaxerxes 
wrote llBishlam,Mithredath, Tabeel, 
and the rest of their f companions, 
unto Artaxerxes king of Persia ; and 
the writing of the letter was written 
in the Syi'ian tongue, and inter- 
preted in the Syrian tongue. 

8 Rehum the chancellor and Shim- 
shai the |i scribe wrote a letter against

to hinder the work. 

Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in 

this sort : 

9 Then wrote Rehum the chancel- 
lor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the 
rest of their f companions ; ^the Di- 
naites, the Apharsathchites, the Tar- 
pelites, the Apharsites, the Archev- 
ites, the Babylonians,the Susanchites, 
the Dehavites, and the Elamites, 

10 sAnd the rest of the nations 
whom the great and noble Asnapper 
brought over, and set in the cities of 
Samaria, and the rest that are on this 
side the river, ^and fat such a time. 

11 TIThis is the copy of the letter 
that they sent unto him, eveii unto 
Artaxerxes the king ; Thy servants 
the men on this side the river, and at 
such a time. 

12 Be it known unto the king, that 
the Jews which came up from thee to 
us, are come unto Jerusalem, build 
ing the rebellious and the bad city, 
and have || set up the walls thereof, 
and f joined the foundations. 

13 Be it known now unto the king, 
that if this city be builded, and the 
walls set up again, then will they not 
tpay 'toll, tribute, and custom, and 
so thou shalt endamage the || revenue 
of the kings. 

14 Now because f we have mainte- 
nance from the ki7ig's palace, and it 
was not meet for us to see the king's 
dishonour, therefore have we sent and 
certified the king; 

15 That search maybe made in the 
book of the records of thy fathers : 
so shalt thou find in the book of the 
records, and know that this city is 
a rebellious city, and hurtful unto 
kings and provinces, and that they 
have f moved sedition f within the 
same of old time: for which cause 
w as this city destroyed. 

16 We certify the king that, if this 
city be builded again, and the walls 
thereof set up, by this means thou 
shalt have no portion on this side 
the river. 

1 7 TI Then sent the king an answer 
unto Rehum the chancellor, and to 
Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest 
of their f companions that dwell in 
Samaria, and unto the rest beyond 
the river, Peace, and at such a time. 

18 The letter which ye sent unto 
us hath been plainly read before me.

19 And f I commanded, and search 
hath been made, and it is found that 
this city of old time hath f made in- 
surrection against kings, and that re- 
bellion and sedition have been made 
therein. 

20 There have been mighty kings 
also over Jerusalem, which have 
i^ruled over all countries 'beyond the

was paid unto them.

from me. 

22 Take heed now that ye fail not

23 U Now when the copy of king 
Artaxerxes' letter iixis read before

and their companions, they went up 
in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, 
and made them to cease f by force

24 Then ceased the work of the

So it ceased unto the second year of 
the reign of Darius king of Persia.

f^Tatnai, governor on this side the

then they returned 'answer by letter

6 *![ The copy of the letter that 
Tatnai, governor on this side the ri-

companions the Apharsachites,which 
were on this side the river, sent unto 
Darius the king: 

7 They sent a letter unto him, 
f M^herein w^as written thus ; Unto 
Darius the king, all peace. 

8 Be it known unto the king, that 
we went into the province of Judea, 
to the house of the great God, which 
is builded with ■\ great stones, and 
timber is laid in the walls, and this 
work goeth fast on, and prospereth 
in their hands. 

■ 9 Then asked we those elders, and 
said unto them thus, ^Who com- 
manded you to build this house, and 
to make up these walls ? 

10 We asked their names also, to 
certify thee, that we might write the 
names of the men that were the chief 
of them. 

1 1 And thus they returned us an 
swer, saying. We are the servants of 
the God of heaven and earth, and 
build the house that was builded 
these many years ago, which a great 
king of Israel builded "and set up. 

12 But "after that our fathers had 
provoked the God of heaven unto 
wrath, he gave them into the hand 
of ° Nebuchadnezzar the king of Ba- 
bylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed 
this house, and carried the people 
away into Babylon.

house of God which is in Jerusalem : 
and since that time even until now 
hath it been in building, and ^yet it 
is not finished. 

17 Now therefore, if it seem good 
to the king, "let there be search made 
in the king's treasure-house, which is 
there at Babylon, whether it be so, 
that a decree was made of Cyrus the 
king to build this house of God at 
Jerusalem, and let the king send his 
pleasure to us concerning this matter, 

CHAP. VI. 

1 Darius, finding- the decree of Cifrus, makelh a 
neio decree for the advancement of the building. 
13 By the help of the enemies, and the directions 
of the prophets, the temple is finished. 16 The 
feast of the dedication is kept, 19 and the pass- 
over. 

THEN Darius the king made a 
decree, ^^and search was made 
in the house of the f rolls, where the 
treasures were flaid up in Babylon. 

2 And there was found at || Achme- 
tha, in the palace that is in the pro- 
vince of the Medes, a roll, and there- 
in was a record thus written : 

3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, 
the same Cyrus the king made a de- 
cree concerning the house of God at 
Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, 
the place where they offered sacri- 
fices, and let the foundations thereof 
be strongly laid ; the height thereof 
threescore cubits, and the breadth 
thereof threescore cubits ; 

4 b With three rows of great stones, 
and a row of new timber: and let the 
expenses be given out of the king's 
house : 

5 And also let ^the golden and sil- 
vervesselsof the house of God, which 
Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of 
the temple which is at Jerusalem, 
and brought unto Babylon, be re- 
stored, and f brought again unto the 
temple which is at Jerusalem, every 
one to his place, and place them in 
the house of God. 

6 d Now therefore, Tatnai, governor 
beyondthe river, Shethar-boznai,and 
f your companions theApharsachites, 
which are beyondthe river, be ye far 
from thence : 

7 Let the work of this house of God 
alone ; let the governor of the Jews, 

514 



The temple isfirdshed. 

and the elders of the Jews, build this 
house of God in his place. 

8 Moreover, f I make a decree what 
ye shall do to the elders of these Jews 
for the building of this house of God : 
that of the king's goods, even of the 
tribute beyond the river, forthwith 
expenses be given unto these men, 
that they be not f hindered. 

9 And that which they have need of, 
both young bullocks, and rams, and 
lambs, for the burnt-offerings of the 
God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and 
oil, according to the appointment of 
the priests which are at Jerusalem, 
let it be given them day by day with- 
out fail : 

10 ''That they may offer sacrifices 
f of sweet savours unto the God of 
heaven, and '"pray for the life of the 
king, and of his sons. 

1 1 Also I have made a decree, that 
whosoever shall alter this word, let 
timber be pulled down from his house, 
and being set up, f let him be hanged 
thereon ; Band let his house be made 
a dunghill for this. 

12 And the God that hath caused 
his •'name to dwell there destroy all 
kings and people, that shall put to 
their hand to alter audio destroy this 
house of God which is at Jerusalem. 
I Darius have made a decree ; let it 
be done with speed. 

13 If Then Tatnai, governor on this 
side the river, Shetliar-boznai, and 
iheir companions, according to that 
which Darius the king had sent, so 
they did speedily. 

14 'AndthceldersoftheJewsbuild- 
ed, and they prospered through the 
prophesying of Haggai the prophet 
and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And 
they builded, and finished it, accord- 
ing to the commandment of the God 
of Israel, and according to the f com- 
mandment of 1^ Cyrus, and 'Darius, 
and '"Artaxerxes king of Persia. 

15 And this house was finished on 
the third day of the month Adar, 
which was in the sixth year of the 
reign of Darius the king. 

16 H And the children of Israel, the

ly done for the house of the God of 
heaven : for why should there be 
wrath against the realm of the king 
and his sons ? 

24 Also we certify you, that touch- 
ing any of the priests and Levites, 
singers, porters, Nethinims, or min- 
isters of this house of God, it shall 
not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, 
or custom, upon them. 

25 AndthoUjEzra, after the wisdom 
of thy God, that is in thy hand, "set 
magistrates and judges, which may 
judge all the people that are beyond 
the river, all such as know the laws 
of thy God ; and ^ teach ye them 
that know them not. 

26 And whosoever will not do the 
law of thy God,and the law of the king, 
letjudgment be executed speedily up- 
on him, whether it be unto death, or 
f to banishment, or to confiscation of ' 
goods, or to imprisonment. 

27 1 y Blessed he the Lord God of 
our fathers, ^ which hath put such a 
thing as this in the king's heart, to 
beautify the house of the Lord which 
is in Jerusalem : 

28 And '"■hath extended mercy unto 
me before the king, and his counsel-

returned with him from Babylon 

for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for 
Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for 
Meshullam, chief men ; also for Joia- 
rib, and for Elnathan, men of under- 
standing. 

17 And I sent them with command- 
ment unto Iddo the chief at the place 
Casiphia, and f I told them what they 
should say unto Iddo, and to his bre- 
thren the Nethinims, at the place Ca- 
siphia, that they should bring unto us 
ministers for the house of our God. 

18 And by the good hand of our 
God upon us they " brought us a man 
of understanding, of the sons of 
Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of 
Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons 
and his brethren, eighteen ; 

19 And Hashabiah, and with him 
Jeshaiah of tlie sons of Merari, his 
brethren and their sons, twenty; 

20 'Also of the Nethinims, whom 
David and the princes had appointed 
for the service of the Levites, two 
hundred and twenty Nethinims : all 
of them were expressed by name. 

21 TI Then I !?proclaimed a fast 
there, at the river of Ahava, that we 
might ''afflict ourselves before our 
God, to seek of him a ' right way for 
us, and for our little ones, and for 
all our substance. 

22 For i^' I was ashamed to require of 
the king a band of soldiers and horse- 
men to help us against the enemy in 
the way : because we had spoken un- 
to the king, saying, 'The hand of our 
God is upon all them for "' good that 
seek him; but his power and his wrath 
zs" against all them that" forsake him. 

23 So we fasted and besought our 
God for tliis : and he was i' entreated 
of us. 

24 *!I Then I separated twelve of 
the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, 
Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren 
with them, 

25 And weighed unto them <5the 
silver, and the gold, and the vessels, 
even the offering of the house of our 
God, which the king, and his coun- 
sellors, and his lords, and all Israel 
there present, had offered: 

26 I even weighed u-nto their hand 
six hundred and fifty talents of silver, 
and silver vessels a hundred talents, 
U7id of gold a hundred talents ; 

27 Also twenty basons of gold, of a 

517 



EzrcHs journey to Jerusalem. 

thousand drams ; and two vessels of 
T fine copper, f precious as gold. 

28 And I said unto them, Ye are 
I' holy unto the Lord ; the vessels are 
« holy also ; and the silver and the 
gold «re a free-will-oftering unto the 
j.oRD God of your fathers. 

29 Watch ye, and keep them, until 
ye weigh tliem, before the chief of the 
priests and the Levites, and chief of 
the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, 
in the chambers of the house of the 
Lord. 

30 So took the priests and the Le- 
vites the weight of the silver, and the 
gold, and the vessels, to bring them to 
Jerusalem unto the house of our God. 

31 11 Then we departed from the 
river of Ahava on the twelfth day of 
the first month, to go unto Jerusa- 
lem : and ^ the hand of our God was 
upon us, and he dehvered us from 
the hand of the enemy, and of such 
as lay in wait by the way. 

32 And we " came to Jerusalem, 
and abode there three days. 

33 H Now on the fourth day was 
the silver and the gold and the ves- 
sels ^ weighed in the house of our 
God by the hand of Meremoth the 
son of Uriah the priest; and with 
him was Eleazar the son of Phine- 
has ; and with them was Jozabad 
the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the 
son of Binnui, Levites ; 

34 By number and by weight of 
every one : and all the weight was 
written at that time. 

35 Also the children of those that 
had been carried away, which were 
come out of the captivity, y offered 
burnt-offerings unto the God of Is- 
rael, twelve bullocks for all Israel, 
ninety and six rams, seventy and 
seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a 
sin-offering : all this was a burnt-of- 
fering unto the Lord. 

36 ■[[ And they delivered the king's 
2 commissions unto the king's lieute- 
nants, and to the governors on this 
side the river : and they furthered the 
people, and the house of God.

abominations, even of the Canaanites, 
the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebu- 
sites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, 
the Egj'ptians, and the Amorites. 

2 For they have ^ taken of their 
daughters for themselves, and for 
their sons : so that the ^ holy seed 
have ^mingled themselves with the 
people oi those lands: yea, the hand 
of the princes and rulers hath been 
chief in this trespass. 

3 And when I heard this thing, z I 
rent my garment and my mantle, aiid 
plucked off the hair of my head and 
of my beard, and sat down ^^aston- 
ied. 

4 Then were assembled unto me 
every one that 'trembled at the worjds 
of the God of Israel, because of the 
transgression of those that had been 
carried away; and I sat astonied 
until the ^ evening sacrifice. 

5 ^ And at the evening sacrifice I 
arose up from my || heaviness ; and 
having rent my garment and my 
mantle, I fell upon my knees, and 
'spread out my hands unto the Lord 
my God, 

6 And said, O my God, I am ™ a- 
shamed and blush to lift up my face 
to thee, my God : for "our iniquities 
are increased over our head, and our

7 Since the days of our fathers have

this day ; and for our iniquities q have 
we, our kings, and our priests, been 
delivered into the hand of the kings 
of the lands, to the sword, to cap- 
tivity, and to a spoil, and to ^ confu- 
sion of face, as it is this day. 

8 And now for a f little space grace 
hath been shewed from the Lord our

them, according to the counsel of my 
lord, and of those that "^ tremble at

5 Then arose Ezra, and made the 
chief priests, the Levites, and all Is- 
rael, ''to swear that they should do ac- 
cordingto this word. And they sware. 

6 T[ Then Ezra rose up from before 
the house of God, and went into the 
chamber of Johanan the son of Elia- 
shib : and when he came thither, he 
''did eat no bread, nor drink water: 
for he mourned because of the trans- 
gression of them that had been car- 
ried away. 

7 And they made proclamation 
throughout Judah and Jerusalem un- 
to all the children of the captivity, 
that they should gather themselves 
together unto Jerusalem ; 

8 And that whosoever would not 
come within three days, according to 
the counsel of the princes and the 
elders, all his substance should be 
f forfeited, and himself separated 
from the congregation of those that 
had been carried away. 

9 TI Then all the men of Judah and 
Benjamin gathered themselves toge- 
ther unto Jerusalem within thrcedays. 
It wasi\\c ninth month, and the twen- 
tieth day of the month; and 'all the 
people sat in the street of the house 
of God, trembling because of this 
matter, and for f the great rain. 

1 And Ezra the priest stood up, and 
said unto them, Ye have transgress- 
ed, and f have taken strange wives 
to increase the trespass of Israel. 

1 1 Now therefore '"make confession 
unto the Lord God of your fathers, 
and do his pleasure : and " separate 
yourselves from the people of the 
land, and from the strange wives. 

12 Then all the congregation an- 
swered and said with a loud voice. As 
thou hast said, so must we do. 

13 But the people are many, and it 
is a time of much rain, and we are not 
able to stand without, neither is this 
a work of one day or two : for || we 

519 



The names of those who 

are many that have transgressed in 
this thing. 

14 Let now our rulers of all the con- 
gregation stand, and let all them 
which have taken strange wives in 
our cities come at appointed times, 
and with them the elders of every 
city, and the judges thereof, until 
" the fierce wrath of our God || for this 
matter be turned from us. 

15 ^ Only Jonathan the son of Asa- 
hel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah 
fwere employed about i\\\?i matter : 
and Meshullam and Shabbethai the 
Levite helped them. 

16 And the children of the captivity 
did so. And Ezra the priest, with 
certain chief of the fathers, after the 
house of their fathers, and all of them 
by their names, were separated, and 
sat down in the first day of the tenth 
month to examine the matter. 

17 And they made an end with all 
\he men that had taken strange wives 
by the first day of the first month. 

18 TFAnd among the sons of the 
priests there were found that had 
taken strange wives: namely, oi^ the 
sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, 
and his brethren; Maaseiah, and 
Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah. 

19 And they Pgave their hands that 
they would put away their wives; 
and being q guilty, they offered a ram

4 II And it came to pass, when I 
heard these words, tliat I sat down 
and wept, and mourned certain days, 
and fasted, and prayed before the 
God of heaven, 

5 Andsaid,Ibeseechthee,<lOLoRD 
God of heaven, the great and terri- 
ble God, ethatkeepeth covenant and 
mercy for them that love him and 
observe his commandments : 

6 Let thine ear now be attentive, 
and 'thine eyes open, that thou may- 
est hear the prayer of thy servant, 
which I pray before thee now, day 
and night, for the children of Israel 
thy servants, and s confess the sins of 
the children of Israel, which we have 
sinned against thee : both I and my 
father's house have sinned. 

7 ^We have dealt very corruptly 
against thee, and have 'not kept the 
commandments, nor the statutes, nor 
the judgments, which thou command- 
edst thy servant Moses. 

8 Remember, I beseech thee, the 
word that thou commandedst thy 
servant Moses, saying, '=// ye trans- 
gress, I will scatter you abroad 
among the nations : 

9 'But (f ye turn unto me, and keep 
my commandments, and do them ; 
""though there were of you cast out 
unto the uttermost part of the heaven, 
yet will I gather them from thence, 
and will bring them unto the place 
that I have chosen to set my name 
there.

thy people, whom thou hast redeem- 
ed by thy great power, and by thy 
strong hand. 

1 1 O Lord, I beseech thee, "let now 
thine ear be attentive to the prayer 
of thy servant, and to the prayer of 
thy servants, who p desire to fear thy 
name : and prosper, I pray thee, thy 
servant this day, and grant him mer-

He Cometh to Jerusalem. 

AND it came to pass in the month 
Nisan, in the twentieth year of 
^Ai'taxerxes the king, that wine was 
before him: and "^I took up the wine, 
and gave it unto the king. Now I 
had not been beforetime sad in his 
presence. 

2 Wherefore the king said unto me. 
Why is thy countenance sad, seeing 
thou ari not sick? this is nothing else 
but <^ sorrow of heart. Then 1 was 
very sore afraid, 

3 And said unto the king, ''Let the 
king live for ever : why should not 
my countenance be sad, when <=the 
city, the place of m)' fathers' sepul- 
chres, liei/i waste, and the gates there- 
of are consumed with fire ? 

4 Then the king said unto me. For 
what dost thou make request ? So I 
prayed to the God of heaven. 

5 And I said unto the king. If it 
please the king, and if thy servant 
have found favour in thy sight, that 
thou wouldest send me unto Judaii, 
unto the city of my fathers' sepul- 
chres, that 1 may build it. 

6 And the king said unto me, (the 
f queen also sitting by him,) For how 
long shall thy journey be ? and when 
wilt thou return ? So it pleased the 
king to send me ; and I set him '"a 
time. 

7 Moreover, I said unto the king. If 
it please the king, let letters be given 
me to the governors beyond the river, 
that they may convey me over till I 
come into Judah ; 

8 And a letter unto Asaph the keep- 
er of the king's forest, that he may 
give me timber to make beams for the 
gates of the palace which appertained 
sto the house, and for the wall of the 
city, and for the house that I shall 
enter into. And the king granted me, 
''according to the good hand of my 
God upon me. 

9 H Then I came to the governors 
beyond the river, and gave them the 
king's letters. Now the king had 
sent captains of the army and horse- 
men with me. 

10 When Sanballat the Horonite, 
and Tobiah the servant, the Ammon- 
ite, heard of it, it grieved them ex- 
ceedingly that there was come a man 
to seek the welfare of the children of 
Israel.

Nehemiah inciteth the Jews to huild. NEHEMIAH 

11 So I 'came to Jerusalem, and 
was there three days. 

12 1^ And I arose in the night, I and 
some few men with me ; neither told 
T any man what my God had put in 
my heart to do at Jerusalem : neither 
was there any beast with me, save the 
beast that I rode upon. 

13 And I went out by night i^by the 
gate of the valley, even before the 
dragon-well, and to the dung-port, 
and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, 
which were i broken down, and the 
gates thereof were consumed with 
fire. 

14 Then I went on to the "gate of 
the fountain, and to the king's pool : 
but there was no place for the beast 
that was under me to pass. 

15 Then went I up in the night by 
the "brook, and viewed the wall, and 
turned back, and entered by the gate 
of the valley, and so returned. 

16 And the rulers knew not whither 
I went, or what I did ; neither had I 
as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the 
priests, nor to the nobles,nor to the rul- 
ers, nor to the rest that did the work. 

17 TFThen said I unto them, Ye see 
the distress that we are in, how Jeru- 
salem ZzeiA waste, and thegatesthere- 
of are burned with fire : come, and 
let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, 
that we be no more °a reproach. 

18 Then I told them of Pthe hand 
of my God which was good upon 
me ; as also the king's words that he 
had spoken unto me. And they said, 
Let us rise up and build. So they 
*i strengthened their hands for this 
good work. 

19 But when Sanballat the Horon- 
ite, and Tobiah the servant, the Am- 
monite, and Geshem the Arabian, 
heard it, they rlaughed us to scorn, 
and despised us, and said. What is 
this thing that ye do ? ^will ye rebel 
against the king? 

20 Then answered I them, and said 
unto them. The God of heaven, he 
will prosper us ; therefore we his ser- 
vants will arise and build : 'but ye 
have no portion, nor right, nor me- 
morial, in Jerusalem.

BUT it came to pass =^that when 
Sanballat heard that we builded 
the wall, he was wroth, and took great 
indignation, and mocked the Jews. 

2 And he spake before his brethren, 
and the army of Samaria, and said. 
What do these feeble Jews ? Avili 
they f fortify themselves ? will they 
sacrifice ? will they make an end in a 
day ? will they revive the stones out 
of the heaps uf the rubbish which are 
burned ? 

3 Now i^Tobiah the Ammonite was 
by him, and he said. Even that which 
they build, if a fox go up, he shall 
even break down their stone wall. 

4 f^Hear, O our God ; for we are 

523 



Nehemiah arrneth the labourers, 

f despised : and <iturn their reproach 
upon their own head, and give them 
for a prey in the land of captivity : 

5 And e cover not their iniquity, and 
let not their sin be blotted out ft-om 
before thee : for they have provoked 
thee to anger before the builders. 

6 So built we the wall ; and all the 
wall was joined together unto the 
half thereof: for the people had a 
mind to work. 

7 TI But it came to pass, that ''when 
Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Ara- 
bians, and the Ammonites, and the 
Ashdodites, heard that the walls of 
Jerusalem -j- were made up, and that 
the breaches began to be stopped, 
then they were ver}' wroth, 

8 And g conspired all of them to- 
gether to come and to fight against 
Jerusalem, and f to hinder it. 

9 Nevertheless h we made our prayer 
unto our God, and set a watch against 
them day and night, because of them. 

10 And Judah said, The strength 
of the bearers of burdens is decayed, 
and there is much rubbish ; so that 
we are not able to build the wall. 

1 1 And our adversaries said. They 
shall not know, neither see, till we 
come in the midst among them, and 
slay them, andcause the worktocease. 

12 And it came to pass, that when 
the Jews which dwelt by them came, 
they said unto us ten times, || From 
all places whence ye shall return un- 
to us they will he upon you. 

13 ^ Therefore set I f in the lower 
places behind the wall, and on the 
higher places, I even set the people 
after their famihes with their swords, 
their spears, and their bows. 

14 And I looked, and rose up, and 
said unto the nobles, and to the rul- 
ers, and to the rest of the people, 
'Be not ye afraid of them : remember 
the Lord which is ^^^great and ter- 
rible, and 'fight for your brethren, 
your sons, and your daughters, your 
wives, and your houses. 

15 And it came to pass, when our 
enemies heard that it was known un- 
to us. rnand God had brought their 
counsel to nought, that v/e returned 
all of us to the wall, every one unto 
his work.

Other half of them held both the

and the habergeons ; and the rulers 
were behind all the house of Judah. 

17 They which builded on the wall, 
and they that bare burdens, with those 
that laded, every one with one of his 
hands wrought in the work, and with 
the other hand held a weapon. 

18 For the builders, eveiy one had 
his sword girded f by his side, and 
so builded. And he that sounded the 
trumpet was by me. 

19 1^ And I said unto the nobles, and 
to the rulers, and to the rest of the 
people, The work is great and large, 
and we are separated upon the wall, 
one far from another. 

20 In what place therefore ye hear 
the sound of the trumpet, resort ye 
thither unto us : "our God shall fight 
for us. 

21 So we laboured in the work : 
and half of them held the spears from 
the rising of the morning till the star:* 
appeared. 

22 Likewise at the same time said 
I unto the people. Let every one with 
his servant lodge within Jerusalem, 
that in the night they may be a guard 
to us, and labour on the day. 

23 So neither I, nor my brethren, 
nor my servants, nor the men of the 
guard which followed me, none of us 
put off our clothes, || savingthat every 
one put them off" for washing.

rulers, and said unto them, ^^ Ye exact 
usur}', ever)' one of his brother. And 
I set a great assembly against them. 

8 And I said unto them, We, after 
our ability, have 'redeemed our bre 
thren the Jews, wliicli were sold un- 
to the heathen ; and will ye even sell 
your brethren >. or shall they be sold 
unto us ? Then held they their peace, 
and found nothing to answer. 

9 Also I said. It is not good that ye 
do: ought ye not to walk sin tlie fear 
of our God ''because of the reproach 
of the heathen our enemies? 

10 1 likewise, and my brethren, and 
my servants, might exact of them 
money and corn : I pray you, let us 
leave oft" this usury. 

11 Restore, I pray you, to them, 
even this day, their lands, their vine- 
yards, their oliveyards, and their 
houses, also the hundredth part of 
the money, and of the corn, the wine, 
and the oil, that ye exact of them 

12 Then said they. We will restore 
them, and will require nothing of 
them ; so will we do as thou sayest 
Then I called the priests, 'and took 
an oath of them, that they should do 
according to this promise. 

13 Also •*! shook my lap, and said, 
So God shake out every man from his 
house, and from his labour, that per- 
formeth not this promise, even thus 
be he shaken out, and f emptied. And 
all the congregation said. Amen, and 
praised the Lord. 'And the people 
did according to this promise. 

14 H Moreover, from the time that 
I was appointed to be their governor 
in the land of Judah, from the twen- 
tieth year '"even unto the two and 
thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, 
that is, twelve years, I and my bre- 
thren have not "eaten the bread of 
the governor.

Nehemiah's generosity. 

15 But the former governors that 
had been before me were chargeable 
unto the people, and had taken of 
them bread and wine, besides forty 
shekels of silver ; yea, even their ser- 
vants bare rule over the people : but 
°so did not I, because of the Pfear of 
God. 

16 Yea, also I continued in the work 
of this wall, neither bought we any 
land: and all my servants ivere ga- 
thered thither unto the work. 

17 Moreover, there icere ^at my ta- 
ble a hundred and fifty of the Jews 
and rulers, besides those that came 
unto us from among the heathen 
that a7-e about us. 

18 Now that 1^ which was prepared 
for 7«cdaily icasone oxand six choice 
sheep ; also fowls were prepared for 
me, and once in ten days store of all 
sorts of wine : yet for all this ^requir- 
ed not I the bread of the governor, 
because the bondage was heavy upon 
this people. 

19 'Think upon rne, my God, for 
good, according to all that I have 
done for this people. 

CHAP. VI. 

1 Sanballat practiseth by craft, hy rvmonrs, by 
hired prophecies, to terrify Nehemiah. 15 The 
work isjini.shed to the terror of the enemies. 17 
Secret intelligence passeth between the enemies 
and the nobles of Judah. 

NOW it came to pass, "when San- 
ballat, and Tobiah, and || Ge- 
shem the Arabian, and the rest of 
our enemies, heard that I had build- 
ed the wail, and that there was no 
breach leit therein ; (''though at that 
time I had not set up the doors upon 
the gates ;) 

2 That Sanballat and Geshem ^sent 
unto me, saying. Come, let us meet 
together in some one of the villages 
in the plain of ^Ono. But they 
e thought to do me mischief. 

3 And I sent messengers unto them, 
saying, I am doing a great work, so 
that I cannot come down: why should 
the work cease, whilst I leave it, and 
come down to you ? 

4 Yet they sent unto me four times 
after this sort ; and I answered them 
after the same manner. 

5 Then sent Sanballat his servant 
unto me in like manner the fifth time 
with an open letter in his hand ; 

6 Wherein was written, It is report- 

525 



The wall is finished. 

ed among the heathen, and || Gashmu 
saith it, f that thou and the Jews think 
to rebel : for which cause thou build- 
est the wall, that thou mayest be their 
king, according to these words. 

7 And thou hast also appointed 
prophets to preach of thee at Jerusa- 
lem, saying, There is a king in Judah: 
and now shall it be reported to the 
king according to these words. Come 
now therefore, and let us take coun- 
sel together. 

8 Then I sent unto him, saying, 
There are no such things done as 
thou sayest, but thou feignest them 
out of thine own heart. 

9 For they all made us afraid, say- 
ing, Their hands shall be weakened 
from the work, that it be not done. 
Now therefore, O God, strengthen 
my hands. 

10 Afterward I came unto the house 
of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the 
son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up ; 
and he said. Let us meet together in 
the house of God, within the temple, 
and let us shut the doors of the tem- 
ple : for they will come to slay thee ; 
yea, in the night will they come to 
slay thee. 

1 1 And I said, Should such a man 
as I flee ? and who is there, that, being 
as I am, would go into the temple to 
save his life ? I will not go in. 

12 And lo, I perceived that God 
had not sent him; but that ?he pro- 
nounced this prophecy against me : for 
Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 

13 Therefore was he hired, that I 
should be afraid, and do so, and sin, 
and that they might have matter for 
an evil report, that they might re- 
proach me. 

14 hMy God, think thou upon To- 
biah and Sanballat,according to these 
their works, and on the 'prophetess 
Noadiah,and the rest of the prophets, 
that would have put me in fear. 

15 II So the wall was finished in the 
twenty and fifth day of the month 
Elul, in fifty and two days. 

16 And it came to pass, that ^when 
all our enemies heard thereof, and all 
the heathen that were about us saw 
these things, they were much cast 
down in their own eyes: for 'they 
perceived that this work was wrought 
of our God.

1 Nehemiah committetli the charge of Jerusalem 
to Hanani and Hananiah. 5 A register of the 
genealogy of them which came atthe first out of 
Babylon, ^ of the people, Z^ of the priests, 43 
of the Leinies, 46 of the Ncthinims, 57 of So- 
lomon's servants, 63 and of the jrriests which 
could not jind their pedigree. 66 The whole 
number of them, with their substance. 70 Their 
oblations. 

NOW it came to pass, when the 
wall was built, and I had ^ set up 
the doors,and the porters,and the sing- 
ers, and the Levites were appointed, 

2 That I gave my brother Hanani, 
and Hananiah the ruler ''of the pa- 
lace, charge over Jerusalem: for he 
was a faithful man, and «= feared God 
above many. 

3 And I said unto them. Let not the 
gates of Jerusalem be opened until 
the sun be hot ; and while they stand 
by, let them shut the doors, and bar 
them : and appoint watches of the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one 
in his watch, and every one to be 
over against his house. 

4 Now the city was f large and 
great: butthe people wei-efew there- 
in, and the houses wej-e not builded. 

5 H And my God put into my 
heart to gather together the nobles, 
and the rulers, and the people, that 
they might be reckoned by genea- 
logy. And I found a register of the 
genealogy of them which came up at 
the first, and found written therein 

6 "i These are the children of the 
province, that went up Out of the 
captivity, of those that had been car- 
ried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar 
the king" of Babylon had carried 
away, and came again to Jerusalem 
and to Judah, every one unto his city;

71 And some of the chief of the fa-

pounds of silver. 

72 And that which the rest of the 
people gave was twenty thousand 
drams of gold, and two thousand 
pounds of silver, and threescore and

73 So the priests, and the Levites, 
and the porters, and the singers, and 
some of the people, and the Nethi- 
nims, and all Israel, dwelt in their 
cities; "and when the seventh month 
came, the children of Israel were in 
their cities. 

CHAP. VIII. 

1 The religions manner of reading and hearing 
the law. 9 They comfort the people. 13 The 
forwardness of them to hear and be instructed. 
16 They keep the feast of tabernacles. 

ND all ^ the people gathered 
themselves together as one man 
into the street that was ''before the 
water-gate ; and they spake unto Ez- 
ra the <^ scribe to bring the book of 
the law of Moses, which the Lord 
had commanded to Israel. 

2 And Ezra the priest brought "^the 
law before the congregation both of 
men and women, and all f that could 
hear with understanding, ^upon the 
first day of the seventh month. 

3 And he read therein before the 
street that was before the water-gate 
f from the morning until mid-day, 
before the men and the women, and 
those that could understand ; and 
the ears of all the people were atten- 
tive unto the book of the law. 

4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon 
a f pulpit of wood, which they had 
made for the purpose ; and beside 
him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, 
and Anaiah,and Urijah, and Hilkiah, 
and Maaseiah, on his right band ; 
and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and 
Mishael, and Malchiah,andHashum, 
and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and 
MeshuUam. 

5 And Ezra opened the book in the 
f sight of all the people ; (for he was 
above all the people ;) and v/hcn he 
opened it, all the people ''stood up: 

528 



The feast of tahcrnucles kept. 

6 And Ezra blessed the Lord, the 
great God. And all the people fe'an- 
swered, Amen, Amen, with ''lifting 
up their hands: and they 'bowed their 
heads, and worshipped the Lord with 
their faces to the ground. 

7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and She- 
rebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, 
Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, 
Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the 
Levites,'^ caused the people to under- 
stand the law : and the people stood 
in their place. 

8 So they read in the book in the 
law of God distinctly, and gave the 
sense, and caused tJiem to understand 
the reading. 

9 TI'And Nehemiah, which is ||the 
Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the 
scribe, ^and the Levites that taught 
the people, said unto all the people, 
"This day is holy unto the Lord 
your God ; » mourn not, nor weep. 
For all the people wept, when they 
heard the words of the law. 

10 Then he said unto them. Go 
your way, eat the fat, and drink the 
sweet, Pand send portions unto them 
for whom nothing is prepared : for 
this day is holy unto our Lord: nei- 
ther be ye sorry; for the joy of the 
Lord is your strength. 

1 1 So the Levites stilled all the peo- 
ple, saying. Hold your peace, for the 
day is holy ; neither be ye grieved. 

12 And all tiie people went their 
way to eat,and to drink, and tonsend 
portions, and to make great mirth, 
because they had ■■ understood the 
words that were declared unto them. 

13 H And on the second day were 
gathered together the chief of the fa- 
thers of all the people, the priests, and 
the Levites,unto Ezra the scribe, even 
II to understand the words of the law. 

14 And they found written in the 
law which the LoRohad commanded 
fby Moses, that the children of Is- 
rael should dwell in ^booths in the 
feast of the seventh month : 

15 And 'that they should publish 
and proclaim in all their cities, and " in 
Jerusalem, saying. Go forth unto the 
mount, and'' fetch olive-branches,and 
pine-branches, and myrtle-branches 
and palm-branches, and branches of 
thick trees, to make booths, as it is 
written.

A solemn fast and humiliation . 

16 If So the people went forth, and 
brought the?n, and made themselves 
booths, every one upon the J'roof of 
his house, and in their courts, and in 
the courts of the house of God, and 
in the street of the ^water-gate, ^and 
in the street of the gate of Ephraim. 

17 And all the congregation of them 
that were come again out of the cap- 
tivity made booths, and sat under the 
booths ; for since the days of Jeshua 
the son of Nun unto that day had 
not the children of Israel done so. 
And there was very ''great gladness. 

18 Also '^day by day, from the first 
day unto the last day, he read in the 
book of the law of God. And they 
kept the feast seven days; and on 
the eighth day was f a solemn assem- 
bly, "i according unto the manner.

1 A solemn fits/, and repentance of the people. 4 
The Lecites viahe a religious conjession of 
God's ifoodness, and their wickedness. 

NOW in the twenty and fourth 
day of i^this month the chil- 
dren of Israel were assembled with 
fasting, and with sackclothes, '' and 
earth upon them. 

2 And i^the seed of Israel separated 
themselves from all f strangers, and 
stood and confessed their sins, and 
the iniquities of their fathers. 

3 And they stood up in their place, 
and ''read in the book of the law of 
tiie Lord their God one fourth part 
of the day ; and another fourth part 
they confessed, and worshipped the 
Lord their God. 

4 "^ Then stood up upon the || stairs, 
of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, 
Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Shere- 
biah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried 
with a loud voice unto the Lord 
their God. 

5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and 
Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Shere- 
biah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pe- 
thahiah, said, Stand up antZ bless the 
Lord your God for ever and ever : 
and blessed be «thy glorious name, 
which is exalted above all blessing 
and praise.

The Lcviies make a religious NEHEMIAH. 

thou '^presei'vest ihem all ; and the 
host of heaven worshippeth thee. 

7 Thou art the Lord the God, who 
didst choose 'Abram, and brought- 
est him forth out of Ur of the Chal- 
dees, and gavest him the name of 
'"Abraham; 

8 And foundest his heart "faithful 
before thee, and madest a ° covenant 
with him to give the land of the Ca- 
naanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, 
and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, 
and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, 
to his seed, and Phast performed thy 
words ; for thou art righteous : 

9 qAnd didst see the affliction of 
our fathers in Egj'pt, and "^heardest 
their cry by the Red sea; 

10 And sghewedst signs and won- 
ders upon Pharaoh, and on all his 
servants, and on all the people of 
his land: for thou knewest that they 
tdealtproudly against them. Sodidst 
thou "get thee a name, as it is this 
day. 

11 ^ And thou didst divide the seabe- 
fore them, so that they went through 
the midst of the sea on the dry land ; 
and their persecutors thou threwest 
into the deeps, 7 as a stone into the 
mighty waters. 

12 Moreover, thou ^^leddest them in 
the day by a cloudy pillar ; and in the 
night by a pillar of fire, to give them 
light in the way wherein they should 
go. 

13 'i^Thou camest down also upon 
mount Sinai, and spakest with them 
from heaven, and gavest them ^ right 
judgments, and f true laws, good sta- 
tutes and commandments: 

14 And madest known unto them 
thy '^ holy sabbath, and commandedst 
them precepts, statutes, and laws, by 
the hand of Moses thy servant: 

15 And "J gavest them bread from 
heaven for their hunger,and <= brought- 
est forth water for them out of the 
rock for their thirst, and promisedst 
them that they should fgo in to pos- 
sess the land f which thou hadst 
sworn to give them. 

16 ffBut they and our fathers dealt 
proudly, and "^hardened their necks, 
and hearkened not to thy command- 
ments, 

17 And refused to obey, 'neither

lion appointed ^a captain to return 
to their bondage : but thou art -j- a 
God ready to pardon, 'gracious and 
merciful, slow to anger, and of great 
kindness, and forsookest them not. 

18 Ye a,™ when they had made them 
a molten calf, and said, This is thy 
God that brought thee up out of 
Egypt, and had wrought great pro- 
vocations ; 

19 Yet thou in thy "manifold mer- 
cies forsookest them not in the wil- 
derness : the "pillar of the cloud de- 
parted not from them by day, to lead 
them in the way ; neither the pillar 
of fire by night, to shew them light, 
and the way wherein they should go. 

20 Thou gavest also thy Pgood Spi- 
rit to instruct them, and withheldest 
not thy q manna from their mouth, 
and gavest them ■'water for their 
thirst. 

21 Yea, 5 forty years didst thou sus- 
tain them in the wilderness, so that 
they lacked nothing; their 'clothes 
waxed not old, and their feet swelled 
not. 

22 Moreover, thou gavest them king- 
doms and nations, and didst divide 
them into corners : so they possessed 
the land of "Sihon, and the land of 
the king of Heshbon, and the land of 
Og king of Bashan. 

23 -"^Their children also multipli- 
edst thou as the stars of heaven, and 
broughtest them into the land, con- 
cerning which thou hadst promised 
to their fathers, that they should go 
in to possess it. 

24 So ythe children went in and 
possessed the land, and ^thou sub- 
duedst befoi'e them the inhabitants of 
the land, the Canaanites, and gavest 
them into their hands, with their 
kings, and the people of the land, 
that they might do with them f as 
they would. 

25 And they took strong cities, and 
a afat land, and possessed ''houses full 
of all goods, II wells digged, vineyards 
and oliveyards, and f fruit-trees in 
abundance: so they did eat, and were 
filled, and ^becamefat, and delighted 
themselves in thy great "^goodness. 

26 Nevertheless, they f^ were disobe- 
dient, and rebelled against thee, and

feast thy law behind their backs, and 
slew thy eprophets which testified 
against them to turn them to thee, 
and they wroughtgreat provocations. 

27 h Therefore thou deliveredst them 
into the hand of their enemies, who 
vexed them : and in the time of their 
trouble, when they cried unto thee, 
thou 'heardest them from heaven ; 
and according to thy manifold mer- 
cies "^thou gavest them saviours, who 
saved them out of the hand of their 
enemies. 

28 But after they had rest, f'they 
did evil again before thee : therefore 
leftest thou them in the hand of their 
enemies, so that they had the domin- 
ion over them : yet when they return- 
ed and cried unto thee, thou heard- 
est i/i em from heaven; and f"many 
times didst thou deliverthem accord- 
ing to thy mercies ; 

29 And testifiedst against them, that 
thou mightest bring them again unto 
thy law : yet they "dealt proudly, and 
hearkened not unto thy command- 
ments, but sinned against thy judg- 
ments, (o which if a man do, he shall 
live in them;) and f withdrew the 
shoulder, and hardened their neck, 
and would not hear. 

30 Yet many years didst thou f for 
bear them, and testifiedst p against 
them by thy Spirit f nin thy prophets: 
yet would they not give ear : ■■ there 
fore gavest thou them into the hand 
of the people of the lands. 

31 Nevertheless, for thy great mer 
cies' sake «thou didst not utterly con 
sume them, nor forsake them ; for 
thou ari ' agracious and merciful God 

32 Now therefore, our God, the 
great, the "mighty, and the terrible 
God, who keepest covenant and mer- 
cy, let not all the f trouble seem little 
before thee, f that hath come upon 
us, on our kings, on our princes, and 
on our priests, and on our prophets, 
and on our fathers, and on all thy 
people, ^ since the time of the kings 
of Assyria unto this day. 

33 Howbeit, J'thou art just in all 
that is brought upon us ; for thou 
hast done right, but ^we have done 
wickedly :

The solemnity of the 
Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua 
the son of Kadmiel, with their bre- 
thren over against them, to praise and 
to give thanks, e according to the 
commandment of David the man of 
God, ''ward over against ward, 

25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Oba- 
diah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, 
were porters keeping the ward at the 
II thresholds of the gates. 

26 These were in the days of Joia- 
kim the son of Jeshua, the son of 
Jozadak, and in the days of Nehe- 
miah ' the governor, and of Ezra the 
priest, ^i\\e scribe. 

27 TIAnd at Uhe dedication of the 
wall of Jerusalem, they sought the 
Levites out of all their places, to 
bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the 
dedication with gladness, ""both with 
thanksgivings, and with singing, with 
cymbals, psalteries, and with harps. 

28 And the sons of the singers ga- 
thered themselves together, both out 
of the plain country round about 
Jerusalem, and from the villages of 
Netophathi ; 

29 Also from the house of Gilgal, 
and out of the fields of Geba and Az- 
maveth : for the singers had builded 
them villages round about Jerusalem. 

30 And the priests and the Levites 
purified themselves, and purified the 
people, and the gates, and the wall. 

31 Then I brought up the princes 
of Judah upon the wall, and appoint- 
ed two great companies of them that 
gave thanks, whereof " one went on 
the right hand upon the wall "to- 
ward the dung-gate: 

32 And after them went Hoshaiah, 
and half of the princes of Judah, 

33 And Azariah, Ezra, and Me- 
shullam, 

34 Judah, and Benjamin, and She- 
maiah, and Jeremiah, 

35 And certain of the priests' sons 
Pwith trumpets; mame/y, Zechariah 
the son of Jonathan, the son of She- 
maiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son 
of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the 
son of Asaph : 

36 And his brethren, Shemaiah, 
and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, 
Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with 
M the musical instruments of David 
the man of God, and Ezra the scribe 
before them.

dedication of the wall. 

37 ■■ And at the fountain-gate, which 
was over against them, they went up 
by Hhe stairs of the city of David, at 
the going up of tlie wall, above the 
house of David, even unto 'the wa- 
ter-gate eastward. 

38 "And the other company of them 
that gave thanks went over against 
ihem, and I after them, and the half of 
the people upon the wall, from beyond 
^the tower of the furnaces even unto 
ythe broad wall ; 

39 ^And from above the gate of 
Ephraim, and above ^^the old gate, and 
above ''the fish-gate, <=and the tower 
of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, 
even unto ''the sheep-gate : and they 
stood still in «the prison-gate. 

40 So stood the two companies of 
ihem that gave thanks in the house 
of God, and I, and the half of the 
rulers with me : 

41 And the priests; Eliakim, Maa- 
seiah, Miniamin,Michaiah, Elioenai, 
Zechariah, and Ilananiah, with trum- 
pets ; 

42 And Maaseiah, and Shcmaiah, 
and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehoha- 
nan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and 
Ezer. And the singers f sang loud, 
with Jezrahiah thrir overseer. 

43 Also that day they ofiered great 
sacrifices, and rejoiced : for God had 
made them rejoice with great joy : 
the wives also and the children re- 
joiced : so that the joy of Jerusalem 
was heard even afar oft". 

44 ■[[ 'And at that time were some 
appointed over the chambers for the 
treasures, for the ofierings, for the 
first-fruits, and for the tithes, to ga- 
ther into them out of the fields of 
the cities the portions || of the law for 
the priests and Levites : f for Judah 
rejoiced for the priests and for the 
Levites f that wailed. 

45 And both the singers and the 
porters kept the ward of their God, 
and the ward of the purification, e ac- 
cording to the commandment of Da- 
vid, and of Solomon his son. 

46 For in the days of David '"and 
Asaph of old Mere were chief of the 
singers, and songs of praise and 
thanksgiving unto God. 

47 And all Israel in the days of Ze- 
rubbabcl, and in the days of Nehe- 
miah,gave the portions of the singers

Israel separated from strangers 

and the porters, every day his por- 
tion : ■ and they || sanctified holy 
things unto the Levites ; ''and the 
Levites sanctified them unto the chil- 
dren of Aaron. 

CHAP. xm. 

1 Upon the reading of the law .':ej)aralio7i is made 
from the mixed multitude. 4 Kehemiah at his 
return cnuseih the chambers to be cleansed. 10 
He reformelh the offices in the house of God. 
1.5 The violation of the sabbath, 23 and the 
marriages with strange wives. 

ON that day °- f they read in the 
book of Moses in the f audience 
of the people ; and therein was found 
written, ''that the Ammonite and the 
Moabite should not come into the 
congregation of God for ever ; 

2 Because they met not the children 
of Israel with bread and with water, 
but •■ hired Balaam against them, that 
he should cur.se them : ''howbeit, our 
God turned the curse into a bless- 
ing. 

3 Now it came to pass, when they 
had heard the law, «^that they sepa- 
rated from Israel all the mixed mul- 
titude. 

4 II And before this, Eliashib the 
priest, f having the oversight of the 
chamber of the house of our God, 
was allied unto Tobiah : 

5 And he had prepared for him a 
great chambcr,'"where aforetime they 
laid the meat-offerings, the frankin- 
cense, and the vessels, and the tithes 
of the corn, the new wine, and the 
oil, (t ewhich was commanded to be 
givento the Levites, and the singers, 
and the porters,) and the ofierings of 
the priests. 

G But in all this time was not I at 
Jerusalem : ''for in the two and thir- 
tieth year of Artaxerxes king of Ba- 
bylon came I unto the king, and f af- 
ter certain days || obtained I leave of 
the king : 

7 And I came to Jerusalem, and un- 
derstood of the evil that Eliashib did 
forTobiah,in 'preparinghim a cham- 
ber in the courts of the hou.se of God. 

8 And it grieved me sore : therefore 
I cast forth all the household-stuff ot 
Tobiah out of the chamber. 

9 Then I commanded, and they 
''cleansed the chambers : and thither 
brought I again the vessels of the 
house of God, with the meat-offering 
and the frankincense. 

10 ^1 And I perceived that the por- 

535 



Nehemiah reformeth 

tions of the Levites had 'not been 
given them : for the Levites and the 
singers, that did the work, were fled 
every one to ">his field. 

1 1 Then " contended I with the ru- 
lers, and said, « Why is the house of 
Godforsaken? And I gathered them 
together, and set them in their f place. 

12 pThen brought all Judah the 
tithe of the corn and the new wine 
and the oil unto the || treasuries. 

13 1 And I made treasurers over the 
treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and 
Zadok the scribe ; and of the Levites, 
Pedaiah : and f next to them was 
Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of 
Mattaniah : for they were counted 
''faithful; and f their office was to 
distribute unto their brethren. 

1 4 s Remember me , O my God, con- 
cerning this, and wipe not out my 
f good deeds that I have done for 
the house of my God, and for the 
II offices thereof. 

1 5 ^ In those days saw I in Judah 
some treading wine-presses ton the 
sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and 
lading asses ; as also wine, grapes, 
and figs, and all manner q/" burdens, 
"which they brought into Jerusalem 
on the sabbath day : and I testified 
against them in the day wherein they 
sold victuals. 

16 There dwelt men of Tyre also 
therein, which brought fish, and all 
manner of ware, and sold on the sab- 
bath unto the children of Judah, and 
in Jerusalem. 

17 ^Then I contended with the no- 
bles of Judah, and said unto them. 
What evil thing is this that ye do, 
and profane the sabbath day ? 

18 yDid not your fathers thus, and 
did not our God bring all this evil 
upon us, and upon this city ? yet ye 
bring more wrath upon Israel by pro- 
faning the sabbath. 

19 And it came to pass, that, when 
the gates of Jerusalem ^ began to be 
dark before the sabbath, I copimand- 
ed that the gates should be shut, 
and charged that they should not 
be opened till after the sabbath: 
*and some of my servants set I at 
the gates, that there should no bur- 
den be brought in on the sabbatli 
day.

speak in the Jews' language, but ac- 
cording to the language f of each 
people. 

25 And I <= contended with them, and 

II cursed them, and smote certain of 
them, and plucked off their hair, and 
made them ^swear by God, saying. 
Ye shall not give your daughters un- 
to their sons, nor take their daughters 
unto your sons, or for yourselves. 

26 8 Did not Solomon king of Israel 
sin by these things? yet '' among 
many nations was there no king like 
him, 'who was beloved of his God, 
and God made him king over all Is- 
rael : ^ nevertheless even him did out- 
landish women cause to sin. 

27 Shall we then hearken unto you 
to do all this great evil, to ' transgress 
against our God in marrying strange 
wives ? 

28 And one of the sons "> of Joiada,

counsel of Afemucan, maketJi the decree ofmetit

NOW it came to pass in the days 
of * Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasue- 
rus which reigned ''from India even 
unto Ethiopia, =oier a hundred and 
seven and twenty provinces :) 

2 Thai in those days, when the king 
Aliasuerus <isat on the throne of his 
kingdom, which was in ^ Shushan the 
palace, 

3 In the third year of his reign, he 
'"made a feast unto all his princes and 
his servants; the power of Persia 
and Media, the nobles and princes 
of the provinces, heing before him : 

4 ^Mien he shewed the riches of his 
glorious kingdom and the honour of 
his excellent majesty many days, exen 
a hundred and fourscore days. 

5 And when these days were expir- 
ed, the king made a feast imto all the 
people that were f present in Shu- 
shan the palace, h»oth unto great and 
small, seven days, in the court of the 
garden of the king's palace ; 

G JVhere were white, green, and 
[1 blue hangings, fastened with cords 
of fine linen and purple to silver rings 
and pillars of marble : fe'the bedsicere 
of gold and silver, upon a pavement 
ii of red, and blue, and white, and 
black marble. 

7 And they gave them drink in ves- 
sels of gold, (the vessels being diverse 
one from another,) and t royal wine 
in abundance, -f according to the 
slate of the king. 

8 And the drinking v:as according 
to the law: none did compel: for so 
the king had appointed to all the offi- 
cers of his house, that they should do 
according to everj" man's pleasure. 

9 Also Vashti the queen made a 
feast for the women in the roval house 
which belonged to king Ahasuerus. 

10 TOn the seventh day, when 
•"the heart of thekingwas menywith 
wine, he commanded Mehumem, 
Biztha, ■ Harbona, Bigtha, and Abag- 
tha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven

fore the king with the crown royal, to 
shew the people and the princes her 
beauty : for she was j fair to look on. 

12 But the queen Vashti refused to 
come at the king's commandment 
f by his chamberlains : therefore was 
the king very wroth, and liis anger 
burned in him. 

13 T Then the king said to the ^wise 
men, 'which knew the times, (for so 
was the king's manner toward all that 
knew law and judgment : 

14 And the next unto him v:as Car- 
shena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, 
Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the 
™ seven princes of Persia and Media, 
° which saw the king's face, and which 
sat the first in the kingdom ;) 

lot What shall we do unto the queen 
Vashti according to law, because she 
hath not performed the command- 
ment of the king Ahasuerus by the 
chamberlains ? 

16 And Memucan answered before 
the king and the princes, Vashti the 
queen hath not done wrong to the 
king only, but also to all the princes, 
and to all the people that are in all 
the provinces of the king Ahasuerus. 

17 For this deed of the queen shall 
come abroad imto all women, so that 
they shall "despise their husbands in 
their eyes, when it shall be reported. 
The king Ahasuerus commanded 
Vashti the queen to be brought in 
before him, but she came not. 

18 Likewise shall the ladies of Per- 
sia and Media sav this day unto all 
the king's princes, which have heard 
of the deed of the queen. Thus 
shall there arise too much contempt 
and wrath. 

19 t If it please the king, let there 
go a royal commandment f from him, 
and let it be written among the laws 
of the Persians and the Medes, fthat 
it be not altered. That Vashti come 
no more before king Ahasuerus ; and 
let the king give her royal estate jun- 
to another that is better than she. 

20 And when the king's decree 
which he shall make shall be publish- 
ed throughout all his empire, (for it 
is great.) all the wives shall p give to 
their husbands honour, both to great 
and small, 

537 



A new queen to he chosen. 

21 And the saying f pleased the king 
and the princes ; and the king did ac- 
cording to the word of Memucan: 

22 For he sent letters into all the 
king's provinces, q into every province 
according to the writing thereof, and 
to every people after their language, 
that every man should ""bear rule in 
his own house ; and f that it should 
be pubUshed according to the lan- 
guage of every people. 

CHAP. II. 

1 Out of the choice of virgins a queen is to he 
chosen. 5 Mordecai the nursing father of Es- 
ther. 8 Esther is preferred by Hegai before the 
rest. 12 Tlie manner of purification, and going 
in to the king. 15 Esther best pleasing the king 
is made queen. 21 Mordecai discovering a 
treason is recorded in the Chronicles. 

AFTER these things, when the 
wrath of king Ahasuerus was 
appeased, he remembered Vashti, 
and what she had done, and ^^what 
was decreed against her. 

2 Then said the king's servants that 
ministered unto him. Let there be fair 
young virgins sought for the king: 

3 And let the king appoint officers 
in all the provinces of his kingdom, 
that they may gather together all the 
fair young virgins unto Shushanthe 
palace, to the house of the women, 
funto the custody of || Hege the 
king's chamberlain, keeper of the 
women ; and let their things for pu- 
rification be given them : 

4 And let the maiden which pleaseth 
the king be queen instead of Vashti. 
And the thing pleased the king ; and 
he did so. 

5 II Now in Shushanthe palace there 
was a certain Jew, whose name loas 
Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of 
Shimei,the son of Kish,aBenjamite; 

6 1" Who had been carried away from 
Jerusalem with the captivity which 
had been carried away with || Jeco- 
niah king of Judah, whom Nebu- 
chadnezzar the king of Babylon had 
carried away. 

7 And he f brought up Hadassah, 
(that is, Esther,) '=his uncle's daugh' 
ter: for she had neither father nor 
mother, and the maid was f fair and 
beautiful ; whom Mordecai, when her 
father and mother were dead, took for 
his own daughter. 

8 TI So it came to pass, when the 
king's commandment and his decree 
was heard, and when many maidens

Esther pleaseth Ahasuerus, 

were <^ gathered together unto Shu- 
shan the palace, to the custody of 
Hegai, that Esther was brought also 
unto the king's house, to the custody 
of Hegai, keeper of the women. 

9 And the maiden pleased him, and 
she obtained kindness of him; and 
he speedily gave her her <= things for 
purification, with f such things as 
belonged to her, and seven maidens 
which were meet to be given her, out 
of the king's house: and f he prefer- 
red her and her maids unto the best 
place of the house of the women. 

10 f Esther had not shewed her peo- 
ple nor her kindred : for Mordecai 
had charged her that she should not 
shew it. 

1 1 And Mordecai walked exery day 
before the court of the women's house, 
f to know how Esther did, and what 
should become of her. 

12 H Now when every maid's turn 
was come to go in to king Ahasue- 
rus, after that she had been twelve 
months, according to the manner of 
the women, (for so were the days of 
their purifications accomplished, to 
wit, six months with oil of myrrh, 
and six months with sweet odours, 
and with other things for the purify- 
ing of the women ;) 

13 Then thus came every maiden 
unto the king ; whatsoever she de- 
sired was given her to go with her 
out of the house of the women unto 
the king's house. 

14 In the evening she went, and 
on the morrow she returned into the 
second house of the women, to the 
custody of Shaashgaz, the king's 
chamberlain, which kept the concu- 
bines : she came in unto the king no 
more, except the king delighted in 
her, and that she were called byname. 

1 5 T[ Now when the turn of Esther, 
sthe daughter of Abihail the uncle of 
Mordecai, who had taken her for his 
daughter, was come to go in unto the 
king, she required nothing but what 
Hegai the king's chamberlain, the 
keeper of the women, appointed. 
And Esther obtained favour in the 
sight of all them that looked upon 
her. 

16 So Esther was taken unto king 
Ahasuerus into his house-royal in 
the tenth month, which is the month

iind is made queen. 

Tebeth, in the seventh year of his 

reign. 

17 And the king loved Esther above 
all the women, and she obtained grace 
and II favour f in his sight more than 
all the virgins ; so that he set the royal 
crown upon her head, and made her 
queen instead of Vashti. 

18 Then the king '^made a great 
feast unto all his princes and his 
servants, even Esther's feast ; and 
he made a f release to the provinces, 
and gave gifts, according to the state 
of the king. 

19 And when the virgins were ga- 
thered together the second time, then 
Mordecai sat ' in the king's cate. 

20 •'Esther had not yet shewed her 
kindred, nor her people, as Mordecai 
had charged her : for Esther did the 
commandment of Mordecai, like as 
when she was brought up with him. 

21 TI In those days, wliile Morde- 
cai sat in the king's gate, two of tiie 

DO ' 

king's chamberlains, IJBigthan ajid 
Teresh, of those which kept f the 
door, were wroth, and sought to lay 
hand on the king Ahasuerus. 

22 And the thing was known to 
Mordecai, ■" who told it unto Esther 
the queen ; and Esther certified the 
king thereof in Mordecai's name. 

23 And when inquisition was made 
of the matter, it was found out ; 
therefore tliey were both hanged on 
a tree : and it was written in "the

Haman seeketh to destroy the Jews. 

ened not unto them, that they told 
Haman, to see whether Mordecai's 
matters would stand : for he had told 
them that he was a Jew. 

5 And when Haman saw that Mor- 
decai f bowed not, nor did him reve- 
rence, then was Haman ? full of wrath. 

6 And he thought scorn to lay hands 
on Mordecai alone ; for they had 
shewed him the people of Mordecai: 
wherefore Haman ^ sought to destroy 
all the Jews that were throughout the 
whole kingdom of Aliasuems, even 
the people of Mordecai. 

7 •[[ In the first month (that 7S, the 
month Nisan,) in the twelfth year of 
king Ahasuerus, 'they cast Pur, that 
is, the lot, before Haman from day to 
day, and from month to month, to 
the twelfth month, that is, the month 
Adar. 

8 II And Haman said unto king Aha- 
suerus, There is a certain people scat- 
tered abroad and dispersedamongthe 
people in all the provinces of thy king- 
dom ; and ^ their laws G?-e diverse from 
all people ; neither keep they the 
king's laws : therefore it is not f for 
the king's profit to sufter them. 

9 If it please the king, let it be writ- 
ten f that they maybe destroyed: and 
I will tp^y tf^n thousand talents of 
silver to the hands of those that have 
the charge of the business, to bring 
it into the king's treasuries. 

10 And the king 'took "'his ring 
from his hand, and gave it unto Ha- 
man the son of Hammedatha the 
Agagite, the Jews' || enemy. 

11 And the king said unto Haman, 
The silver is given to thee, the peo- 
ple also, to do with them as it seem- 
eth good to thee. 

12 "Then were the king's || scribes 
called on the thirteenth day of the 
first month, and there was written 
according to all that Haman had com- 
manded unto the king's lieutenants, 
and to the governors that were over 
every province, and to the rulers of 
every people of every province, ° ac- 
cording to the writing thereof, and 
to every people after their language ; 
p in the name of king Ahasuerus was 
it Avritten, and sealed with the king's 
ring. 

1 3 And the letters were q sent by 
posts into all the king's provinces, to

destroy, to kill, and to cause to pe- 
rish, all Jews, both young and old 
little children and women, 'in one 
day, even upon the thirteenth day 
of the twelfth month, which is the 
month Adar, and 'to take the spoil 
of them for a prey. 

14 "The copy of the writing for a 
commandment to be given in every 
province was published unto all peo- 
ple, that they should be ready against 
that day. 

1 5 The posts went out, being hast 
ened by the king's commandment, 
and the decree was given in Shushan 
the palace. And the king and Ha- 
man sat down to drink; but ^the 
city Shushan was perplexed. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 'The great mourning of Mordecai and the Jeirs. 
4 Esther, understanding it, sendeth to Morde- 
cai, who sheweih the cause, and adviseih her to 
i(ndertakethe suit. 10 She excusing herse/f is 
threatened by Mordecai. \i She appoiniinj. 
fast undertaketh the suit. 

WHEN Mordecai perceived all 
that was done, Mordecai ^rent 
his clothes,and put on sackcloth ^ with 
ashes, and went out into the midst of 
the city, and "cried with a loud and 
a bitter cry ; 

2 And came even before the king's 
gate : for none might enter into the 
king's gate clothed with sackcloth. 

3 And in eveiy province whither- 
soever the king's commandment and 
his decree came, there was great 
mourning among the Jews, and fast- 
ing, and weeping, and wailing ; and 
-j- many lay in sackcloth and ashes. 

4 "H So Esther's maids and her 
■\ chamberlains came and told it her. 
Then was the queen exceedingly 
grieved ; and she sent raiment to 
clothe Mordecai, and to take away 
his sackcloth from him: but he re- 
ceived it not. 

5 Then called Esther for Hatach, 
one of the king's chamberlains, 
f whom he had appointed to attend 
upon her, and gave him a command- 
ment to Mordecai, to know what it 
was, and why it rvas. 

6 So Hatach went forth to Morde- 
cai, unto the street of the city, which 
was before the king's gate.

had happened unto him, and of '^ the 
sum of the money that Haman had

king shall hold out the golden scep- 
tre, that he may live : but I have not 
been called to come in mito the king 
these thirty days. 

12 And they told to Mordecai Es- 
ther's words. 

13 Then Mordecai commanded to 
answei- Esther, Think not with thy- 
self that thou slialt escape in the king's 
house, more than all the Jews. 

14 For if thou altogether boldest 
thy peace at this time, then shall there 
f enlargement and deliverance arise 
to the Jews from another place ; but 
thou and thy father's house shall be 
destroyed: and who knoweth, whe- 
ther thou art come to the kingdom 
for such a time as this? 

1 5 T[ Then Esther bade them return 
Mordecai this answer, 

16 Go, gather together all the Jews 
that are f present in Shushan, and 
fast ye for me, and neither eat nor 
drink 'three days, night or day: I 
also and my maidens will fast like- 
wise : and so will I go in unto the 
king, which is not according to the 
law ; ^ and if I perish, I perish. 

17 So Mordecai f went his way, and 
did according to all that Esther had 
commanded him. 

CHAP. V. 

1 Esther, adventuring on, the king's favour, oh- 
taineth the grace of the golden sceptre, and in- 
viteth the Icing and Haman to a banquet. 6 She, 
being encouraged by the kiiig in her suit, invit 
elk inem to another banquet the next (tey. 9 Ha-

Esther standeth before the king.- 

man, proud i^his advaitceineni, repinelh nl the 
contempt of Mordecai. 14 Bi/ the counsel of Ze- 
resh he bilildethfor him a pair of gallows. 

NOW it came to pass =^on the 
third day, that Esther put on 
her royal apparel, and stood in •'the 
inner court of the king's house, over 
against the king's house : and the 
king sat upon his royal throne m the 
royal house, over against the gate of 
the house. 

2 And it was so, when the king saw 
Esther the queen standing in the 
court, that '^shc obtained favour in 
his sight : and '^ the king held out to 
Esther the golden sceptre that was 
in his hand. So Esther drew near, 
and touched the top of the sceptre. 

3 Then said the king unto her, What 
M'ilt thou, queen Esther ? and what 
is thy request ? "^ it shall be even given 
thee to the half of the kingdom. 

4 And Esther answered, If it seem 
good unto the king, let the king and 
Haman come this day unto the ban- 
quet that I have prepared for him. 

5 Then the king said, Cause Ha- 
man to make haste, that he may do 
as Esther hath said. So the king 
and Haman came to the banquet 
that Esther had prepared. 

6 "(I 'And the king said unto Esther 
at the banquet of wine, s What is thy 
petition 1 and it shall be granted thee : 
and what is thy request ? even to the 
Jialf of the kingdom it shall be per- 
formed. 

7 Then answered Esther, and said, 
My petition and my request is : 

8 If I have found favour in the sight 
of the king, and if it please the king 
to grant my petition, and f to perform 
my request, let the king and Haman 
come to the banquet that I shall pre- 
pare for them, and I will do to-mor- 
row as the king hath said. 

9 11 Then went Haman forth that 
day joyful and with a glad heart : but 
when Haman saw Mordecai in the 
king's gate, ''that he stood not up, 
nor moved for him, he Avas full of 
indignation against Mordecai. 

10 Nevertheless, Haman 'refrained 
himself: and when he came home, 
he sent and f called for his friends, 
and Zeresh his wife. 

11 And Haman told them of the 
gloiy of his riches, and ^the multi 
tude of his children, and all the things

Haman prepareth a gallows. 
wherein the king had promoted him, 
and how he had ' advanced him above 
the princes and servants of the king. 

12 Haman said moreover. Yea, Es- 
ther the queen did let no man come 
in with the king unto the banquet 
that she had prepared but myself; 
and to-morrow am I invited unto her 
also with the king. 

13 Yet all this availethme nothing,

sitting at the king's gate.

all his friends unto him, Let a | '"gal- 
lows be made of fifty cubits high, and 
to-morrow " speak thou unto the king 
that JNIordecai may be hanged there- 
on : then go thou in merrily with the 
king unto the banquet. And the 
thing pleased Haman ; and he caus- 
ed "the gallows to be made. 

CHAP. VI. 

1 Ahasnerus, reading in the chronicles of the ^ood 
service done hy Mordecai, takclh care fur his re- 
ward. 4 Hainan, coiriin^to sue that Mordecai 
might be hanged, unairnres giveth counsel that 
he might do him honour. 12 Complaining of 
his misfortune, his friends tell him of hisjinal 
destiny. 

N that night f could not the 
king sleep, and he commanded 
to bring ^i\iQ book of I'ecords of the 
chronicles ; and they were read be- 
fore the king. 

2 And it was found written, that 
Mordecai had told of || Bigthana and 
Teresh, two of the king's chamber- 
lains, the keepers of the f door, who 
sought to lay hand on the king Aha- 
suerus. 

3 And the king said, What honour 
and dignity hath been done to Mor- 
decai for this ? Then said the king's 
ser\ants that ministered unto -him, 
There is nothing done for him. 

4 Tl And the king said. Who is in 
the court ? (Now Haman was come 
into ^the outward court of the king's 
house, <^to speak unto the king to 
hang Mordecai on the gallows that 
he had prepared for him.) 

5 And the king's servants said unto 
him. Behold, Haman standeth in the 
court. And the king said, Let him 
come in. 

G So Haman came in. And the 
king said unto him. What shall be 
done unto the man f whom the king 
delighteth to honour ? (Now Haman 
thought in his heart, To whom would 
541 



Mordecai receiveth great honours. 

the king delight to do honour more 
than to myself?) 

7 And Haman answered the king, 
For the man f whom the king de- 
lighteth to honour, 

8 f Let the royal apparel be brought 
t which the king useth to wear, and 
•'the horse that the king rideth up- 
on, and the crown-royal which is set 
upon his head : 

9 And let this apparel and horse be 
delivered to the hand of one of the 
king's most noble princes, that they 
may array the man withal whom the 
king delighteth to honour, and f bring 
him on horseback through the street 
of the city, e and proclaim before him. 
Thus shall it be done to the man whom 
the king delighteth to honour. 

10 Then the king said to Haman, 
Make haste, and take the apparel and 
the horse, as thou hast said, and do 
even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sit- 
teth at the king's gate : -f let nothing 
fail of all that thou hast spoken. 

1 1 Then took Haman the apparel 
and the horse, and arrayed Morde 
cai, and brought him on horseback 
through the street of the city, and 
proclaimed before him. Thus shall 
it be done unto the man whom the 
king delighteth to honour. 

12 TIAnd Mordecai came again to 
the king's gate. But Haman ^hast- 
ed to his house mourning, s and hav- 
ing his head covered. 

1 3 And Haman told Zeresh his wife 
and all his friends every thing that 
had befallen him. Then said his wise 
men and Zeresh his wife unto him. 
If Mordecai he of the seed of the 
Jews, before whom thou hast begun 
to fall, thou shalt not prevail against 
him, but shalt surely fall before him. 

14 And while they were yet talking 
with him, came the king's chamber 
lains, and hasted to bring Haman 
unto lithe banquet that Esther had 
prepared.

ther on the second day ^ at the ban- 
quet of wine, What is thy petition, 
queen Esther ? and it shall be grant- 
ed thee : and what is thy request ? 
and it shall be performed, even to 
the half of the kingdom. 

3 Then Esther the queen answered 
and said, If I have found favour in 
thy sight, O king, and if it please the 
king, let my life be given me at my 
petition, and my people at my request: 

4 For we are ^ sold, I and my peo- 
ple, f to be destroyed, to be slain, and 
to perish. But if we had been sold 
for bond-men and bond- women, I had 
held my tongue, although the enemy 
could not countervail the king's da- 
mage. 

5 TI Then the king Ahasuerus an- 
sweredandsaiduntoEstherthequeen, 
Who is he, and where is he, f that 
durst presume in his heart to do so ? 

6 And Esther said, f The adversary 
and enemy is this wicked Haman. 
Then Haman was afraid 1| before the 
king and the queen. 

7 TI And the king arising from the 
banquet of wine in his wrath went 
into the palace-garden : and Haman 
stood up to make request for his life 
to Esther the queen ; for he saw that 
there was evil determined against him 
by the king. 

8 Then the king returned out of 
the palace-garden into the place of 
the banquet of wine ; and Haman 
was fallen upon ^the bed whereon 
Esther was. Then said the king. 
Will he force the queen also f be- 
fore me in the house ? As the word 
went out of the king's mouth, they 
<* covered Haman's face. 

9 And eHarbonah,one of the cham- 
berlains, said before the king. Behold 
also fthe f gallows fifty cubits high, 
which Haman had made for Morde- 
cai, who had spoken good for the 
king, standeth in the house of Ha- 
man. Then the king said. Hang him 
thereon. 

10 So sthey hanged Haman on the 
gallows that he had prepared for Mor- 
decai Then was the king's wrath 
pacified.

ON that day did the king Ahasue- 
rus give the house of Haman, the 
Jews' enemy, unto Esther the queen. 
AndMordecai came before the king; 
for Esther had told ^ what he was 
unto her. 

2 And the king took off ''his ring 
\\hich he had taken from Haman, 
and gave it unto Mordecai. And 
Esther set Moi'decai over the house 
of Haman. 

3 H And Esther spake yet again 
before the king, and fell down at his 
feet, ■\ and besought him with tears 
to put away the mischief of Haman 
tlie Agagite, and his device that he 
had devised against the Jews. 

4 Then <=the king held out the gold- 
en sceptre toward Esther. So Esther 
arose, and stood before the king, 

5 And said. If it please the king, 
and if I have found favourin his sight, 
and the thing seem right before the 
king, and I he pleasing in his eyes, let 
it be written to reverse fthe letters 
devised by Haman the son of Ham- 
medatha the Agagite, |1 which he 
wrote to destroy the Jews which are 
in all the king's provinces : 

(5 For how can I f endure to see 
''the evil that shall come unto my 
people? or how can I endure to see 
the destruction of my kindred ? 

7 Tf Then the king Ahasuerus said 
unto Esther the queen and to Mor- 
decai the Jew, Behold, ^\ have given 
Esther the house of Haman, and him 
they have hanged upon the gallows, 
because he laid his hand upon the 
Jews. 

8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it 
liketh you, in the king's name, and 
seal it with the king's ring: for the 
writing which is written in the king's 
name, and sealed with the king's ring, 
^may no man reverse. 

9 g Then were the king's scribes 
called at that time in the third month, 
that is, the month Sivan, on the three 
and twentieth day thereof; and it was 
•written, according to all that Morde- 
cai commanded, unto the Jews, and to 
the lieutenants, and the deputies and 
rulers of the provinces which are 
^ from India unto Ethiopia, a hundred 
twenty and seven provinces, unto

10 ''And he wrote in the king Aha- 
suerus' name, and sealed it with the 
king's ring, and sent letters by posts 
on horseback, and riders on mules, 
camels, aiid young dromedaries : 

11 Wherem the king granted the 
Jews which wei-e in every city to ga- 
ther themselves together, and to stand 
for their life, to destroy, to slay, and 
to cause to perish, all the power of 
the people and province that would 
assault them, both little ones and wo-

for a prey, 

12 ™(Jpon one day in all the pro- 
vinces of king Ahasueiiis, namely, 
upon the thirteenth ffoyof the twelfth 
month, which is the month Adar. 

13 "The copy of the writing for a 
commandment to be given in every 
province was f published unto all 
people, and that the Jews should be 
ready against that day to avenge 
themselves on their enemies. 

14 /So the posts that rode upon mules 
and camels went out, being hastened 
and pressed on by the king's com- 
mandment. And the decree was 
given at Shushan the palace. 

15 TI And Mordecai went out from 
the presence of the king in royal ap- 
parel of II blue and white, and with a 
great crown of gold, and with a gar- 
ment of fine linen and purple : and 

the city of Shushan rejoiced, and 
was glad : 

16 The Jews had P light, and glad- 
ness, and joy, and honour. 

17 And in every province, and in 
eveiy city, whithersoever the king's 
commandment and his decree came, 
the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast 
q and a good day. And many of the 
people of the land ■■ became Jews; for 
''the fear of the Jews fell upon them.

the day that the enemies of the Jews 
hoped to have power over them, 
(tliough it was turned to the contrary, 
that the Jews « had rule over them 
that hated them ;) 

2 The Jews '^ gathered themselves 
together in their cities throughout all 
the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, 
to lay hand on such qs ^ sought their 
hurt : and no man could withstand 
them ; for f the fear of them fell up- 
on all people. 

3 And all the rulers of the pro- 
vinces, and the lieutenants, and the 
deputies, and f officers of the king 
helped the Jews ; because the fear of 
Mordecai fell upon them. 

4 For Mordecai was great in the 
king's house, and his fame went out 
throughout all the provinces : for tliis 
man Mordecai s waxed greater and 
greater. 

5 Thus the Jews smote all their 
enemies with the stroke of the sword, 
and slaughter, and destruction, and 
did t what they would unto those 
that hated them. 

6 And in Shushan the palace the 
Jews slew and destroyed five hun-

1 h The ten sons of Haman the 
son of Hammedatha, the enemy of 
the Jews, slew they ; ' but on the 
spoil laid they not their hand. 

1 1 On that day the number of those 
that were slain in Shushan the palace

1^ "[[ And the king said unto Es-

^ what is thy petition ? and it shall be

13 Then said Esther, If it please

Tlie days of Purim ordained, and 

14 And the king commanded it so 
to be done: and the decree was given 
at Shushan ; and they hanged Ha- 
man's ten sons. 

15 For the Jews that were in Shu- 
shan " gathered themselves together 
on the fourteenth day also of the 
month Adar, and slew three hundred 
men at Shushan ; ° but on the prey 
they laid not their hand. 

16 But the other Jews that were in 
the king's provinces Pgathered them- 
selves together, and stood for their 
lives, and had rest from their ene 
mies, and slew of their foes seventy 
and five thousand, q but they laid not 
their hands on the prey, 

17 On the thirteenth day of the 
month Adar ; and on the fourteenth 
day f of the same rested they, and 
made it a day of feasting and gladness. 

18 But the Jews that were at Shu- 
shan assembled together ■■ on the thir- 
teenth day thereof, and on the four- 
teenth thereof ; and on the fifteenth 
day of the same they rested, and made 
it a day of feasting and gladness. 

19 Therefore the Jews of the vil- 
lages, that dwelt in the unwalled 
towns, made the fourteenth day of 
the month Adar ^a day of gladness 
and feasting, tand a good day, and 
of" sending portions one to another. 

20 ^ And Mordecai wrote these 
things, and sent letters unto all the 
Jews that were in all the provinces of 
the king Ahasuerus, feoif/i nigh and far, 

21 To establish this among them, 
that they should keep the fourteenth 
day of the month Adar, and the fif-

22 As the days wherein the Jews 
rested from their enemies, and the 
month which was y turned unto them 
from sorrow to joy, and from mourn- 
ing into a good day : that they, should 
make them days of feasting and joy, 
and of 2 sending portions one to an- 
other, and gifts to the poor. 

23 And the Jews undertook to do 
as they had begun, and as Mordecai 
had written unto them ; 

24 Because Haman the son of Ham- 
medatha, the Agagite, the enemy of 
all the Jews, ^had devised against 
the Jews to destroy them, and had 
cast Pur, that is, the lot, to f consume 
them, and to destroy them ; 

544 



confirmed by Esther and Mordecai. 

25 But f ''when Esther came before 
the king, he commanded by letters 
that his wicked device, which he de- 
vised against the Jews, should = re- 
turn upon his own head, and that he 
and his sons should be hanged on 
the gallows. 

26 Wherefore they called these 
days Purim after the name of || Pur. 
Therefore for all the words of <' this 
letter, and of that which they had 
seen concerning this matter, and 
which had come unto them, 

27 The Jews ordained, and took 
upon them, and upon their seed, and 
upon all such as <^ joined themselves 
unto them, so as it should not f fail, 
that they would keep these two days 
according to their writing, and ac- 
cording to their appointed time every 
year; 

28 And that these days should he 
remembered and kept throughout 
everj' generation, everj^ family, every 
province, and every city ; and that 
these days of Purim should not f fail 
from among the Jews, nor the memo- 
rial of them t perish from tlieir seed. 

29 Then Esther the queen, '"the 
daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai 
the Jew, wrote with f all authority, 
to confirm this s second letter of Pu 
rim.

5 And it was so, when the days of 
their feasting were gone about, that 
Job sent and sanctified them, and

10 "'Hast not thou made a hedge

about all that he hath on every side ? 
"thou hast blessed the work of his

12 And the Lord said unto Satan, 
Behold, all that he hath is in thy 
f power ; only upon himself put not 
forth thy hand. So Satan went forth 
from the presence of the Lord. 

13 "ll And there was a day iwhen 
his sons and his daughters were eat-

14 And there came a messenger

worshipped, 

21 And said, " Naked came I out of

I return thither : The Lord -''gave,

further leave to tempt Job. 7 He smiteih him 
■with .sore bi/es. 9 Job reprovetk his wife, mov- 
ing him to cur.ie God. 11 His three friends con- 
dole with him in silence. 

GAIN ^there was a day when 
the sons of God came to pre- 
sent themselves before the Lord, and 
Satan came also among them to pre- 
sent himself before the Lord. 

2 And the Lord said unfo Satan, 
From whence comestthou? And ^ Sa- 
tan answered the Lord, and said. 
From going to and fro in the earth, 
and from walking up and down in it. 

3 And the Lord said unto Satan, 
Hast thou considered my servant Job, 
that there is none like him in the 
earth, c a perfect and an upright man, 
one that feareth God, and escheweth 
evil ? and still he ''holdeth fast his 
integrity, although thou movedst me 
against him, f ^to destroy him with- 
out cause. 

4 And Satan answered the Lord, 
and said. Skin for skin, yea, all that 
a man hath will he give for his life. 

5 f But put forth thy hand now, and 
touch his sbone and his flesh, and 
he will curse thee to thy face. 

6 ii And the Lord said unto Satan, 
Behold, he is in thy hand ; ||but save 
his hfe. 

7 *^ So went Satan forth from the 
presence of the Lord, and smote Job 
with sore biles 'from the sole of his 
foot unto his crown. 

8 And he took him a potsherd to 
scrape himself withal ; ^ and he sat 
down among the ashes. 

9 TI Then said his wife unto him, 
Dost thou still ™ retain thine inte- 
grity ? curse God, and die. 

10 But he said unto her, Thou 
speakest as one of the foolish wo- 
men speaketh. What ! " shall we re- 
ceive good at the hand of God, and 

546 



He curseth the day of his birth, 

shall we not receive evil? °In all 
this did not Job Psin with his hps. 

Ill Now when Job's three ^ friends 
heard of all tliis evil that was come 
upon him, they came ever}' one from 
his own place ; Eliphaz the ^Tema- 
nite, and Bildad the ^ Shuhite, and 
Zophar the Naamathite : for they 
had made an appointment together 
to come 'to mourn with him, and to 
comfort him. 

12 And when they lifted up their 
eyes afar oft', and knew him not, they 
lifted up their voice, and wept ; and 
they rent ever)' one his mantle, and 
" sprinkled dust upon their heads to- 
ward heaven. 

1 3 So they sat down with him upon 
the ground -''seven days and seven 
nights, and none spake a word unto 
him : for they saw that his grief was 
very great. 

CHAP. III. 

1 Job curtes (he day and services of his birth. 13 
The ease of death. 20 He complaineth of life, 
because of his anguish. 

AFTER this opened Job his mouth, 
and curbed his day. 

2 And Job f spake, and said, 

3 ''Let the day perish wherein I was 
born, and the night in which it was 
said. There is a man child conceived. 

4 Let that day be darkness ; let not 
God regard it from above, neither let 
the light shine upon it. 

5 Let darkness and ''the shadow of 
death 1| stain it ; let a cloud dwell 
upon it ; II let the blackness of the 
day terrify it. 

6 As for that night, let darkness 
seize upon it ; || let it not be joined 
unto the days of the year ; let it not 
come into the number of the months. 

7 Lo, let that night be solitary ; let 
no joyful voice come therein. 

8 Let them curse it that curse the 
day, <= who are ready to raise up || their 
mourning. 

9 Let the stars of the twilight there- 
of be dark ; let it look for light, but 
have none ; neither let it see f the 
dawning of the day. 

10 Because it shut not up the doors 
of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow 
from mine eyes. 

11'* Why died I not from the womb ? 
why did I not give up the ghost when 
1 came out of the belly ?

that was faUing, and thou •'hast

5 But now it is come upon thee, 
and thou faintest ; it toucheth thee,

7 Remember, I pray thee, ^ who ever

8 Oh that I might have my request ; 
and that God would grant me f the

9 Even ''that it would please God 
to destroy me ; that he would let loose 
his hand, and cut me off! 

1 Then should I yet have comfort ; 
yea, I would harden myself in sorrow : 
let him not spare; for ^I have not

10 He shall return no more to his

1 1 Therefore I will '^not refrain my 
mouth ; I will speak in the anguish

bitterness of my soul. 

12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou 
settest a watch over me \ 

13 ""When I say, My bed shall

21 And why dost thou not pardon 
my transgression, and take away 
mine iniquity ? for now shall I sleep 
in the dust ; and thou shalt seek me 
in the morning, but I shall not be. 
CHAP. VHL 

1 Bildad sheweth God's justice in Sealing with 
men according to their works. 13 He allegeth 
antiquity to prove the certain destruction of the 
hypocrite. 20 He appUeth God's Just dealing 
to Job. 

THEN answered Bildad the Shu- 
hite, and said, 

2 How long wilt thou speak these 
things 2 and how long shall the words 
of thy mouth he like a strong wind ? 

3 ^Doth God pervert judgment ; or 
doth the Almighty pervert justice ? 

4 If ''thy children have sinned 
against him, and he have cast them 
away f for their transgression ; 

5 <=If thou wouldest seek unto God 
betimes, and make thy supplication 
to the Almighty ; 

6 If thou wert pure and upright, 
surely now he would awake for thee, 
and make the habitation of thy right- 
eousness prosperous. 

7 Though thy beginning was small, 
yet thy latter end should greatly in- 
crease. 

8 "iFor inquire, I pray thee, of the 
former age, and prepare thyself to 
the search of their fathers : 

9 (For ''we are hut of yesterday, 
and know f nothing, because our 
days upon earth are a shadow :) 

10 Shall not they teach thee, and 
tell thee, and utter words out of their 
heart ? 

1 1 Can the rush gi-ow up without 
mire ? can the flag grow without wa- 
ter? 

12 ^Whilst it is yet in his green- 
ness, and not cut down, it withereth 
before any other herb. 

13 So are the paths of all that for- 
get God ; and the & hypocrite's hope 
shall perish: 

14 Whose hope shall be cut oflT, and 
whose trust shall he ] a. spider's web. 

IS'' He shall lean upon his house, 
but it shall not stand : he shall hold 
it fast, but it shall not endure. 

1 6 He is green before the sun, and 
his branch shooteth forth in his gar- 
den. 

17 His roots are wrapped about the 
heap, and seeth the place of stones. 

550 



Toh alloweth God's perfections. 

18 ' If he destroy him from his place, 
then it shall deny him, saying, 1 have 
not seen thee. 

19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, 
and '^out of the earth shall others 
grow. 

20 Behold, God will not cast away 
a perfect man, neither will he f help 
the evil doers : 

21 Till he fill thy mouth with laugh- 
ing, and thy lips with f rejoicing. 

22 They that hate thee shall be 
'clothed with shame ; and the dwell- 
ing-place of the wicked f shall come 
to nought. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 Job, acknowledging God^s justice, shewelh there 
is no contending icilh him. 22 Alan's iimucency 
is not to he condemned by aj/lictions. 

THEN Job answered and said, 
2 I know it is so of a truth: but 
how should ^man be just || with God? 

3 If he will contend with him, he 
cannot answer him one of a thousand. 

4 ^He is wise in heart, and mighty 
in strength: who hath hardened him- 
self against him, and hath prospered? 

5 Which removeth the mountains, 
and they know not: which overturn- 
eth them in his anger; 

6 Which t^shaketh the earth out of 
her place, and "^the pillars thereof 
ti'emble ; 

7 Which commandeth the sun, and 
it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars; 

8 ^Which alone spreadeth out the

f waves of the sea; 

9 f Which maketh f Arcturus, Ori- 
on, and Pleiades, and the chambers 
of the south ; ] 

10 g Which doeth great things past

Iiim not: he passeth on also, but I 
perceive him not. 

12 'Behold, he taketh away, f who 
can hinder him? who will say unto 
him. What doest thou? 

13 If God will not withdraw his 
anger, i^the f proud helpers do stoop 
under him. 

14 How much less shall I answer

There is no contending with God. 

16 If I had called, and he had an-

that he had hearkened unto my voice. 

17 For he breaketh me with a tem- 
pest, and multiplietli my wounds 
™ without cause. 

18 He will not suffer me to take my 
breath, but filleth me with bitterness. 

19 If / speak of strength, lo, he is 
strong: and if of judgment, who shall 
set me a time to plead ? 

20 If I justify myself, mine own 
mouth shall condemn me: If I say, I 
am perfect, it shall also prove me 
perverse. 

21 Though I were perfect, yet would 
I not know my soul : I would despise 
my life. 

22 This is one thing, therefore I

Joh expostulateth with God freely . 
CHAP. X. 

1 Job, ial-ing liberty of complaint, expostulateth 
with God about his afflictions. IS He complain- 
eih of life, and craveih a little ease before death. 

MY '^soul is 11 weary of my life ; I 
will leave my complaint upon 
myself; ''I will speak in the bitter- 
ness of my soul. 

2 I will say mito God, Do not con- 
demn me ; shew me wherefore thou 
contendest with me. 

3 Is it good unto thee that thou 
shouldest oppress, that thou should- 
est despise f the work of thy hands, 
and shine upon the counsel of the 
wicked ? 

4 Hast thou eyes of flesh ? or = seest 
thou as man seeth ? 

5 Ai-e thy days as the days of man? 
are thy years as man's days, 

6 That thou inquirest after mine 
miquity, and searchest after my sin? 

7 f ''Thou knowest that I am not 
wicked; and the7-e is none that can 
deliver out of thy hand. 

8 eThy hands f have made me and 
fashioned me together round- about ; 
yet thou dost destroy me. 

9 Remember, I beseech thee, that 
fthou hast made me as the clay; and 
wilt thou bring me into dust again ? 

10 sHast thou not poured me out 
as milk, and curdled me like cheese? 

1 1 Thou hast clothed me with skin 
and flesh, and hast f fenced me with 
bones and sinews. 

12 Thou hast granted me life and 
favour, and thy visitation hath pre- 
served my spirit. 

13 And these things hast thou hid 
in thine heart : I know that this is 
with thee. 

14 If I sin, then ^thou markest me, 
and thou wilt not acquit me from 
mine iniquity. 

15 If I be wicked, 'wo unto me ; 
^and if I he righteous, yet will I not 
lift up my head. / am full of confu- 
sion; therefore 'see thou mine afflic- 
tion; 

16 For it increaseth. ™Thou hunt- 
est me as a fierce lion : and again thou 
shewest thyself marvellous upon me. 

17 Thou renewest l|thy witnesses 
against me, and increasest thine in- 
dignation upon me; changesand war 
</?-e against me, 

18 "Wherefore then hast thou 
brought me forth out of the womb?

1 Job entreateih God for favour, by the shortness 
of life, and certainty of death. 7 Tlioiigh life 
once lost be irrecoverable, yet hewaitethfor his 
change. 16 By sin the creature is subject to 
corruption. 

MAN that is born of a woman is 
fof few days, and a- full of trou- 
ble. 

2 ''He cometh forth Uke a flower, 
and is cut down : he fleeth also as a 
shadow, and continueth not. 

3 And f^dost thou open thine eyes 
upon such a one, and ^bringest me 
into judgment with thee ? 

4 t Who e can bring a clean thing 
out of an unclean ? not one. 

5 f Seeing his days are determined, 
the number of his months are with 
thee, thou hast appointed his bounds 
that he cannot pass; 

6 &Tum from him, that he may 
frest, till he shall accomplish, ''as 
a hireling, his day. 

7 For there is hope of a tree, if it 
be cutdown, 'that it will sprout again, 
and that the tender branch thereof 
will not cease. 

8 Though the root thereof wax old 
in the earth, and the stock thereof 
die in the ground; 

9 Yet through the scent of water it 
will bud, and bring forth boughs like 
a plant. 

10 But man dieth, and fwasteth 
away : yea, man giveth up the ghost, 
and where is he ? 

\\ As the waters fail from the sea, 
and the flood decayethanddriethup : 

12 So man lieth down, and riseth 
not : '^till the heavens he no more, 
they shall not awake, nor be raised 
out of their sleep. 

13 that thou wouldest hide me in 
the grave, that thou wouldest keep 
me secret, until thy wrath be past, 
that thou wouldest appoint me a set 
time, and remember me ! 

14 If a man die, shall he live again? 
all the days of my appointed time 
'will I wait, ""till my change come.

swer thee : thou wilt have a desire 
to the work of thy hands.

16 "For now thou numberest my 
steps : dost thou not watch over my 
sin? 

17 pMy transgression is sealed up 
in a bag, and thou sewest up mine 
iniquity. 

18 And surely the mountain falling 
f cometh to nought, and the rock is 
removed out of his place. 

19 The waters wear the stones : thou 
fwashest away the things whichgrow 
out of the dust of the earth ; and thou 
destroyest the hope of man. 

20 Thou prevailest for ever against 
him, and he passeth: thou changest 
his countenance, and sendest him 
away. 

21 His sons come to honour, and 
ihe knoweth it not; and they are 
brought low, but he perceiveth it not 
of them. 

22 But his flesh upon liim shall 
have pain, and his soul within him 
shall mourn.

2 Should a wise man utter f vain

The disquietude of wicked men. 

12 Why doth thy heart carry thee a- 
way? and what do thine eyes wink at, 

13 That thou turnest thy spirit 
against God, and lettest such words 
go out of thy mouth ? 

14 ^ What is man, that he should be 
clean .' and he wliich is born of a wo- 
man, that he should be righteous ? 

15 eBehold, he puttethno trust in 
his saints ; yea, the heavens are not 
clean in his sight. 

IG^How much more abominable 
and filthy is man, 'which drinketh 
iniquity like water ? 

17 I will shew thee, hear me; and 
ihdXwhicJi I have seen, I will declare ; 

18 Whichwise men have told '^"from 
their fathers, and have not hid it: 

19 Unto whom alone the earth was 
given, and 'no stranger passed among 
them. 

20 The wicked man travaileth with 
pain all his days, ">and the number 
of years is hidden to the oppressor. 

21 f A dreadful sound is in his ears : 
"in prosperity the destroyer shall 
come upon him. 

22 He believeth not that he shall 
return out of darkness, and he is wait- 
ed for of the sword. 

23 He o wandereth abroad for bread, 
saying, Where is it ? he knoweth that 
Pthe day of darkness is ready at his 
hand. 

24 Trouble and anguish shall make 
him afraid; they shall prevail against 
him, as a king ready to the battle. 

25 For he stretcheth out his hand 
against God, and strengtheneth him- 
self against the Almighty. 

26 He runneth upon him, even on 
his neck, upon the thick bosses of his 
bucklers : 

27 1 Because he covereth his face 
with his fatness, and maketh collops 
of fat on his flanks. 

28 And he dwelleth in desolate 
cities, and in houses which no man 
inhabiteth, which are ready to be- 
come heaps. 

29 He shall not be rich, neither 
shall his substance continue, neither 
shall he prolong the perfection there- 
of upon the earth. 

30 He shall not depart out of dark- 
ness ; the flame shall dry up his 
branches, and ''by the breath of his 
mouth shall he go away. 

555 



Joh describeth his unhappy case, 

31 Let not him that is deceived 
s trust in vanity : for vanity shall be 
his recompense. 

32 It shall be || accomplished 'be- 
fore his time, and his branch shall 
not be green. 

33 He shall sliake off his unripe 
gi-ape as the vine, and shall cast off 
his flower as the olive. 

34 For the congregation of hj'po- 
crites shall he desolate, and fire shall 
consume the tabernacles of bribery. 

35 "They conceive mischief, and 
bring forth || vanity, and their belly 
prepareth deceit. 

CHAP. XVI. 

I Job reproreth his friends of unmercifuhiess. 7 
He sheiteih the pitifulness of his case. 17 He 
maintaineth his imiocency. 

THEN Job answered and said, 
2 I have heard many such things: 

II ^ miserable comforters are ye all. 

3 Shall f vain words have an end 1 
or what emboldeneth thee that thou 
answerest 1 

4 I also could speak as ye do : if 
your soul were in my soul's stead, I 
could heap up words against you, 
and ^ shake my head at you. 

5 But I would strengthen you with 
my mouth, and the moving of my 
lips should assuage your grief. 

6 Though I speak, my grief is not 
assuaged : and though I forbear, 
f what am I eased ? 

7 But now he hath made me weary: 
thou hast made desolate all my com- 
pany. 

8 And thou hast filled me with 
wrinkles, ivhich is a witness against 
me : and my leanness rising up in m.e 
beareth witness to my face. 

9 <=He teareth me in his wrath, 
who hateth me : he gnasheth upon 
me with his teeth ; '^ mine enemy 
sharpeneth his eyes upon me. 

10 They have <= gaped upon me 
witli their mouth; they ^have smitten 
me upon the cheek reproachfully ; 
they have ^gathered themselves to- 
gether against me. 

1 1 God h f hath delivered me to 
the ungodly, and turned me over into 
the hands of the wicked. 

12 I was at ease, but he hath bro- 
ken me asunder : he hath also taken 
}ne by my neck, and shaken me to 
pieces, and ' set me up for liis mark. 

13 His archers compass me round

pocrite but for a moment ?

unto the f clouds ;

him shall say. Where is he ? 

8 He shall flyaway ''as a dream, and

his youth, ''which shall lie down with 
him in the dust. 

12 Though wickedness be sweet in 
his mouth, though he hide it under 
his tongue ; 

13 Though he spare it, and forsake 
it not ; but keep it still f within his 
mouth : 

14 Yet his meat in his bowels is 
turned, it is the gall of asps within 
him. 

1 5 He hath swallowed dewn riches, 
and he shall vomit them up again : 
God shall cast them out of his belly. 

1 6 He shall suck the poison of asps : 
the viper's tongue shall slay him. 

17 He shall not see 'the rivers, 
II the floods, the brooks of honey and 
butter. 

18 That which he laboured for ''shall 
he restore, and shall not swallow it 
down : f according to his substance 
shall the restitution be, and he shall

1 Job sheicelk that even in the judgment of man he 
hath reason to he grieved. 7 Sometimes the 
wicked do so prosper, as they despise God. J 6 
Sometimes their destruction is manifest. 22 The 
hanpy and vuhnppy are alike in death. 27 
Thejudgmeutoftheicickedis in another world. 

UT Job answered and said, 
2 Hear diligently my speech, 
and let this be your consolations. 

3 Suffer me that I may speak ; and 
after that I have spoken, "^ mock on. 

4 As for me, is my complaint to 
man? and if it were so, why should 
not my spirit be f troubled ? 

5 t Mark me, and be astonished, 
^and lay your hand upon your mouth. 

6 Even when I remember I am 
afraid, and trembling taketh hold on 
my flesh. 

7 ^Wherefore do the wicked live, 
become old, yea, are mighty in power? 

8 Their seed is established in their 
sight with them, and their offspring 
before their eyes. 

9 Their houses fare safe from fear, 
^neither is the rod of God upon them.

not God. 5 He accusetli Job of divers sins. 21 
He exhortelh him to repentance., with promises 
of mercy. 

THEN Eliphaz the Temanite an-

2 '^Can a man be profitable unto 
God, II as he that is wise may be pro- 
fitable unto himself? 

3 Is it any pleasure to the Almigh-

gain to him, that thou makest thy 
ways perfect ? 

4 Will he reprove thee for fear of 
thee ? will he enter with thee into 
judgment ? 

5 Is not thy wickedness great ? and 
thine iniquities infinite ? 

6 For thou hast i" taken a pledge 
from thy brother for nought, and 
j- stripped the naked of their cloth- 
ing. 

7 Thou hast not given water to the 
weary to drink, and thou ^^hast with- 
holden bread from the hungry. 

8 But as for f the mighty man, he 
had the earth ; and the f honourable 
man dwelt in it. 

9 Thou hast sent widows away 
empty, and the arms of "^ the father- 
less have been broken. 

10 Therefore "^snares are round 
about thee, and sudden fear troubleth 
thee ; 

1 1 Or darkness, that thou canst not 
see ; and abundance of ''waters cover

12 Is not God in the height of hea-

13 And thou sayest, ||& How doth

Wicked men oft go unpunished here, 

5 Behold, as wild asses in the de- 
sert, go they forth to their work; ris- 
ing betimes for a prey : the wilder- 
ness yieldeth food for them and for 
their children. 

6 They reap every one his f corn in 
the field : and f they gather the vin- 
tage of the wicked. 

7 They « cause the nak^d to lodge 
without clothing, that they have no 
covering in the cold. 

8 They are wet with the showers of 
the mountains, and ^embrace the 
rock for want of a sheltei". 

9 They pluck the fatherless from the 
breast, and take a pledge of the poor. 

10 They cause /r("»z togonakedwitli- 
out clothing, and thej' take away the 
sheaf from the hungrj- ; 

11 Which make oil within their 
walls, and tread their wine-presses, 
and suffer thirst. 

12 Men groan from out of the city, 
and the soul of the wounded crieth 
out : yet God layeth not folly to them. 

13 They are of those that rebel 
against the light ; they know not the 
ways thereof, nor abide in the paths 
thereof. 

14 eThe murderer rising with the 
light killeth the poor and needy, and 
in the night is as a thief. 

15 ''The eye also of the adulterer 
.waiteth for the twilight, 'sajnng. No 
eye shall see me : and fdisguisethAu 
face. 

16 In the dark they dig through 
houses, lohich they had marked for 
themselves in the day-time: •'they 
know not the light. 

17 For the morning is to them even 
as the shadow of death: if one know 
them, they are in the terrors of the 
shadow of death. 

1 8 He is swift as the waters ; their 
portion is cursed in the earth: he be- 
holdeth not the way of the vineyards. 

19 Drought and heat f consume the 
snow-waters : so doth the grave those 
which have sinned. 

20 The womb shall forget him; the 
worm shall feed sweetly on him; 'he 
shall be no more remembered; and 
wickedness shall be broken as a tree. 

21 He evil-entreateth the bsirren 
that beareth not: and doeth not good 
to the widow. 

22 He draweth also the mighty

Bildad asserteth God's soverei^nti/. 

with his power: he riseth up, j] and 
no man is sure of life. 

23 Though it be given him to be 
in safety, whereon he resteth; yet 
•"his eyes are upon their ways. 

24 They are exalted for a little while, 
but fare gone and brought low; they 
are f taken out of the way as aWother, 
and cut off as the tops of the ears of 
corn. 

25 And if i^ be not so now, who will

THEN answered Bildad the Shu-

2 Dominion and fear are with him, 
he maketh peace in his high places. 

3 Is there any number of his ar- 
mies? and upon whom doth not '^his 
light arise ? 

4 ''How then can man be justified 
with God ? or how can he be clean 
that is born of a woman ? 

5 Behold even to the moon, and it 
shineth not ; yea, the stars are not 
pure in his sight. 

6 How much less man, that is ^a

3 Hov/ hast thou counselled him

4 To whom hast thou uttered words? 
and whose spirit came from thee ? 

5 Dead things are formed from un-

6 i^Hell is naked before him, and

7 bHe stretcheth out the north over

CHAP. XXVH. 

1 Job proiesieth his sincerity. 8 The hypocrite is 
without hope. 11 The blessings which the wick- 
ed hare are turned into curses. 

MOREOVER, Job f continued 
his parable, and said, 

2 As God liveth, ^who hath taken 
away my judgment ; and the Almigh- 
ty, who hath -j- vexed my soul ; 

3 All the while my breath is in me, 
and II the spirit of God is in my nos- 
trils ; 

4 My lips shall not speak wicked- 
ness, nor my tongue utter deceit. 

5 God forbid that I should justify 
you: till I die ^I will not remove 
mine integrity from me. 

6 My righteousness I "hold fast, and 
will not let it go: <^my heart shall not 
reproach me f so long as I live. 

7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, 
and he that riseth up against me as 
the unrighteous. 

8 f'For what is the hope of the hy- 
pocrite, though he hath gained, when 
God taketh away his soul ? 

9 f Will God hear his cry whentrou- 
ble cometh upon him ? 

10 ?Will he delight himself in th^ 
Almighty ? will he always call upon 
God ? 

Ill will teach you || by the hand 
of God : that which is with the Al- 
mighty will I not conceal. 

12 Behold, all ye yourselves have 
seen it ; why then are ye thus alto- 
gether vain ? 

13 hThis is the portion of a wicked 
man with God, and the heritage of 
oppressors, which they shall receive 
of the Almighty. 

14 'If his children be multiplied, it

shall not be satisfied with bread. 

15 Those that remain of him shall 
be buried in death: and '^his widows 
shall not weep. 

16 Though he heap up silver as the 
dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; 

17 He may prepare it, but 'the just 
shall put it on, and the innocent shall 
divide the silver. 

18 He buildeth his house as a 
moth, and ™as a booth that the keep- 
er maketh. 

19 The rich man shall lie down, but 
he shall not be gathered: he openeth 
his eyes, and he is not. 

20 "Terrors take hold on him as 
waters, a tempest stealeth him away 
in the night. 

21 The east wind carrieth him away, 
and he departeth: and as a storm 
hurleth him out of his place. 

22 For God shall cast upon him, 
and not spare : f he would fain flee 
out of his hand. 

23 Men shall clap their hands at 
him, and shall hiss him out of his 
place.

2 Oh that I were a as in months 
past, as in the days when God pre- 
served me; 

3 I'When his |1 candle shined upon 
my head, and when by his light I 
walked through darkness; 

4 As I was in the days of my youth, 
when "^the secret of God was upon 
my tabernacle ; 

5 When the Almighty wa^ yet with 
jne, when my children were about me ; 

6 When "^I washed my steps with 
butter, and ^the rock poured f me 
out rivers of oil ; 

7 When I went out to the gate 
through the city, when I prepared my 
seat in the street! 

8 The young men saw me, and hid 
themselves : and the aged arose, and 
stood up. 

9 The princes refrained talking, and 
flaid their hand on their mouth. 

10 t The nobles held their peace, 
and their ^tongue cleaved to the roof 
of their mouth. 

1 1 When the ear heard me, then it 
blessed me ; and when the eye saw 
me, it gave witness to me : 

12 Because *•! delivered the poor 
that cried, and the fatherless, and him 
that had none to help him. 

13 The blessing of him that was 
ready to perish came upon me : and 
I caused the widow^s heart to sing 
for joy. 

14 'I put on righteousness, and it 
clothed me : my judgment was as a 
robe and a diadem. 

15 I was ^eyes to the blind, and 
feet was I to the lame.

'the cause which I knew not I search- 
ed out. 

17 And I brake m-j- the jaws of the

CHAP. XXX. 

I Job's honour is turned into extreme contempt. 

15 His prosperity into calamity. 

BUT now they that are f younger 
than I have me in derision, 
whose fathers I would have disdained 
to have set with the dogs of my flock. 

2 Yea, whereto might the strength 
of tjieir \\9.ndisprofit me, in whom old 
age was perished? 

3 For want and famine they were 

II solitary : fleeing into the wilderness 
f in former time desolate and waste. 

4 Who cut up mallows by the bush- 
es, and juniper-roots/or their meat. 

5 They were driven forth from ar 
mong men, (they cried after them as 
after a thief;) 

6 To dwell in the cliffs of the val- 
leys, in f caves of the earth, and in 
the rocks, 

7 Among the bushes they brayed ; 
under the nettles they were gathered 
together. 

8 They were children of fools, yea, 
children of f base men : they were 
viler than the earth. 

9 =* And now am 1 their song, yea, I 
am their by- word. 

10 They abhor me, they flee far from 
me, I and spare not b to spit in my face. 

11 Because he '^ hath loosed my cord, 
and afllicted me, they have also let 
loose the bridle before me. 

12 Upon my right hand rise the 
youth ; they push away my feet, and 
^ they raise up against me the ways of 
their destruction. 

13 They mar my path, they set for- 
ward my calamity, they have no 
helper. 

14 They came upon me as a wide 
breaking in of waters: in the desola- 
tion they rolled themselves upon me. 

15 Tenors are turned upon me: 
they pursue f my soul as the wind : 

504 



He niaketh a solemn protestation 

and my welfare passeth away as a 
cloud. 

16 ^And now ray soul is poured out 
upon me ; the days of affliction have 
taken hold upon me. 

17 My bones are pierced in me in 
the night season : and my sinews take 
no rest. 

18 By the great force ofmij disease 
is my garment changed : it bindeth 
me about as the collar of my coat. 

19 He hath cast me into the mire, 
and I am become like dust and ashes. 

20 I cry unto thee, and thou dost 
not hear me : I stand up, and thou 
regardest me not. 

21 Thou art f become cruel to me : 
with fthy strong hand thou opposest 
thyself against me. 

22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; 
thou causest me to ride upon it, and 
dissolvest my || substance. 

23 For I know that thou wilt bring 
me to death, and to the house ""ap- 
pointed for all living. 

24 Howbeit he will not stretch out 
his hand to the f grave, though they 
cry in his destruction. 

25 sDid not I weep f for him that 
was in trouble ? was not my soul 
grieved for the poor ? 

26 ''When I looked for good, then 
evil came unto me : and when I wait- 
ed for light, there came darkness. 

27 My bowels boiled, and rested not: 
the days of affliction prevented me. 

28 'I went mourning without the 
sun : I stood up, a7id I cried in the 
congregation, 

29 "t I am a brother to dragons, and 
a companion to || owls. 

30 'My skin is black upon me, and 
"•my bones are burned with heat. 

31 My harp also is turned to mourn- 
ing, and my organ into the voice of 
them that weep.

Elihu talceth upon him to speali. 

cnseth the boldness of his yovlh. 11 Herepron- 
eth them for not satisfying of Job. 16 His zeal 
to speak. 

O these three men ceased ] to an- 
swer Job, because he was ''right- 
eous in his own eyes. 

2 Then was kindled tlie wrath of 
Elihu the son of Barachel ''the Buz- 
ite, of the kindred of Ram : against 
Job was his wrath kindled, because he 
justified f himself rather than God. 

3 Also against his three friends was 
his wrath kindled, because they had 
found no answer, and yet had con- 
demned Job, 

4 Now Elihu had ■[■waited till Job 
had spoken, because they i^ere f el- 
der than he. 

5 When Elihu saw that there was 
no answer in the mouth of these three 
men, then his wrath was kindled. 

6 And Elihu the son of Barachel 
the Buzite answered and said, I am 
■\ young, '^ and ye are very old ; where- 
fore I was afraid, and f durst not shew 
you mine opinion. 

7 I said. Days should speak, and 
multitude of years should teach wis- 
dom. 

8 But there is a spirit in man : and 
<ithe inspiration of the Almighty giv- 
eth them understanding. 

9 ^ Great men are not alioays wise ; 
neither do the aged understand judg^ 
ment. 

10 Therefore I said. Hearken to 
me ; I also will shew mine opinion. 

1 1 Behold, I waited for your words; 
I gave ear to your f reasons, whilst 
ye searched out fwhat to say. 

12 Yea, I attended unto you, and 
behold, there was none of you that 
convinced Job, or that answered his 
words : 

13 ^Lest ye should say, We have 
found out wisdom : God thrusteth 
him down, not man. 

14 Now he hath not || directed his 
words against me : neither will I an- 
swer him with your speeches. 

15 They were amazed, theyanswer- 
ed no more : fthey left off" speaking. 

10 When I had waited, (for they 
spake not, but stood still, and an- 
swered no more;) 

17 /sa/rf,Iwill answer also my part, 
I also will shew mine opinion. 

18 For I am full of f matter, f the 
spirit within me constraineth me. 

566 



God calleth man to repentance 

19 Behold, ray belly is as wine 
which f hath no vent ; it is ready to 
burst like new bottles. 

20 I will speak, f that I may be re- 
freshed : I will open my lips and an- 
swer. 

21 Let me not, I pray you, ? accept 
any man's person, neither let me give 
flattering titles unto man. 

22 For I know not to give flattering 
titles ; in so doing my Maker would 
soon take me away. 

CHAP. XXXIII. 

1 Elihu offereth himself Uisiead of God, with sin- 
cerityaiid meekness, to reason with Job. 8 He 
excuseth God from giving man an account of his 
ways, by his greatness. 14 God calleth man to re- 
pentance by visions, 19 by afflictions, 23 and by 
his ministry. 31 tie inciteth Job to attention. 

WHEREFORE, Job, I pray thee, 
hear my speeches, and heark- 
en to all my words. 

2 Behold, now I have opened my 
mouth, my tongue hath spoken f in 
my mouth. 

3 My words shall he of the upright- 
ness of my heart : and my lips shall 
utter knowledge clearly. 

4 a The Spirit of God hath made 
me, and the breath of the Almight)" 
hatli given me life. 

5 If thou canst answer me, set thy 
words in order before me, stand up. 

6 ''Behold, I am f according to thy 
wish in God's stead : I also am f form- 
ed out of the clay. 

7 = Behold, my terror shall not make 
thee afraid, neither sliall my hand be 
heavy upon thee. 

8 Surely thou hast spoken f in my 
hearing, and I have heard the voice 
of thy words, saying, 

9 ''I am clean without transgres- 
sion, I am innocent ; neither is there 
iniquity in me. 

10 Behold, he findeth occasions 
against me, «he counteth me for his 
enemy. 

1 1 ''He putteth my feet in the stocks, 
he marketh all my paths. 

12 Behold, in this thou art not just 
1 will answer thee, that God is great- 
er than man. 

13 Why dost thou g strive against 
him ? for f he giveth not account of 
any of his matters. 

14 '•For God speaketh once, yea 
twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

16 i^Then j he openeth the ears of 
men, and sealeth their instruction, 

17 That he may withdraw man from

18 He keepeth back his soul from 
the pit, and his life f from perishing 
by the sword. 

19 He is chastened also with pain 
upon his bed, and the multitude of 
his bones with strong paijc : 

20 ' So that his life abhorreth bread, 
and his soul f dainty meat. 

21 His flesh is consumed away, that 
it cannot be seen ; and his bones that 
were not seen, stick out. 

22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto 
the grave, and his life to the destroy- 
ers. 

23 If there be a messenger with 
him, an interpreter, one among a 
thousand, to shew unto man his up- 
rightness : 

24 Then he is gracious unto him, 
and saith. Deliver him from going 
down to the pit : I have found || a

25 His flesh shall be fresher f than

of his youth : 

26 He shall pray unto God, and he 
will be favourable unto him : and he 
shall see his face with joy : for he will 
render unto man his righteousness. 

27 II He looketh upon men, and if

29 Lo, all these things worketh God 
t oftentimes with man, 

30 P To bring back his soul from 
the pit, to be enhghtened with the 
light of the living. 

31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto 
me : hold thy peace, and I will speak. 

32 If thou hast any thing to say,

1 Elihu accuseth Job for charging- God with in- 
justice. 10 God omnipotent can?iot be unjust. 
31 Man must humble himself unto God. 34 
Elihu resoroveth Job. 

567 



God omnipotent cannot he unjust. 

FURTHERMORE Elihu answer- 
ed and said, 

2 Hear my words, O ye wise men ; 
and give ear unto me, ye that have 
knowledge. 

3 a For the ear trieth words, as the 
t mouth tasteth meat. 

4 Let us choose to us judgment : 
let us know among ourselves what is 
good. 

5 For Job hath said "^I am righte- 
ous : and "^God hath taken away my 
judgment. 

6 ^ Should I lie against my right ? 
t my wound is incurable without 
transgression. 

7 What man is like Job, ^who 
drinketh up scorning like water ; 

8 Which goeth in company with 
the workers of iniquity, and walketh 
with wicked men. 

9 For fhe hath said, It profiteth a 
man nothing that he should delight 
himself with God. 

10 Therefore hearken unto me, ye 
+ men of understanding : sfar be it 
from God, that he shojild do wicked- 
ness ; and from the Almighty, that 
he should commit iniquity. 

1 1 ^For the work of a man shall he 
render unto him, and cause every man 
to find according to his ways. 

12 Yea, surely God will not do 
wickedly, neither will the Almighty 
'pervert judgment. 

13 Who hath given him a charge 
over tha earth? or who hath dis- 
posed f the whole world 1 

14 If he set his heart f upon man, 
if he •= gather unto himself his spirit 
and his breath ; , 

15 'All flesh shall perish together, 
and man shall turn again unto dust. 

16 If now thou hast understanding, 
hear this : hearken to the voice of my 
words. 

17™ Shall even he that hateth right 
f govern ? and wilt thou condemn 
him that is most just ? 

18 ^Is it fit to say to a king. Thou 
art wicked ? and to princes. Ye are 
ungodly ? 

19 How much less to him that °ac- 
cepteth not the persons of princes, 
nor regardeth the rich more than the 
poor? for Pthey all are the work of 
his hands.

JOB. Man ought to humble himself before God, 

the people shall be troubled qat mid- 
night, and pass away : and j- the 
mighty shall be taken away without 
hand. 

21 "^For his eyes a7-e upon the ways 
of man, and he seeth all his goings. 

22 ^ Thej-e is no darkness, nor sha- 
dow of death, where the workers of 
iniquity may hide themselves. 

23 For he will not lay upon man 
more than j'ight ; that he should 
■\ enter into judgment with God. 

24 'He shall break in pieces mighty 
men f without number, and set others 
in their stead. 

25 Therefore he knoweth their 
works, and he overturneth them in 
the night, so that they are -j- destroyed. 

26 He striketh them as wicked men 
f in the open sight of others ; 

27 Because they " turnedback f from 
him, and ^ would not consider any of 
his ways : 

28 So that they y cause the cry of 
the poor to come unto him, and he 
^heareth the cry of the afflicted. 

29 When he giveth quietness, who 
then can make trouble ? and when he 
hideth his face, who then can behold 
him ? whether it he done against a 
nation, or against a man only : 

30 That the hypocrite reign not, 
lest '^the people be ensnared. 

31 Surely it is meet to be said un- 
to God, ^I have borne chastisement, 
I will not offend any more : 

32 That which I see not, teach thou 
me : if I have done iniquity, I will 
do no more. 

33 t Should it be accoi'ding to thy 
mind ? he will recompense it, whe- 
ther thou refuse, or whether thou 
choose ; and not I : therefore speak 
what thou knowest. 

34 Let men f of understanding tell 
me, and let a wise man hearken unto 
me. 

35 '^ Job hath spoken without know- 
ledge, and his words were without 
wisdom. 

36 II My desire is that Job may be 
tried unto the end, because of his 
answers for wicked men. 

37 For he addeth rebellion unto his 
sin, he clappeth his hands among us, 
and multiplieth his wordsagainst God.

5 Behold, God is mighty-, and de-

6 He preserseth not tlie life of the

7 ''He withdraweth not his eyes

are they on die thi'one ; yea, he doth 
estabUsh them for ever, and they are

8 And '^if they be bound in fetters,

God is terrible in his great worhs. 

22 Behold, God exalteth by his 
power: qwho teacheth hke him? 

23 ""Who hath enjoined him his 
way ? or ^who can say, Thou hast 
wrought iniquity? 

24 Remember that thou 'magnify 
his work, which men behold. 

25 Every man may see it ; man 
may behold it afar off. 

26 Behold, God is great, and we 
"know Jiim not, ^neither can the 
number of his years be searched out. 

27 For he ymaketh small the drops 
of water : they pour down rain ac- 
cording to the vapour thereof; 

28 ^Which the clouds do drop and 
distil upon man abundantly. 

29 Also can any understand the 
spreadings of the clouds, or the noise 
of his tabernacle ? 

30 Behold, he ^ spreadeth his light 
upon it, and covereth f the bottom 
of the sea. 

3 1 For ^ by them judgeth he the peo- 
ple ; he <=giveth meat in abundance. 

32 ^ With clouds he covereth the 
light; and commandeth it not to shine 
by the cloud that cometh betwixt. 

33 <=The noise thereof sheweth con- 
cerning it, the cattle also concerning 
f the vapour. 

CHAP. XXXVII. 

1 God is to he feared because of his great works. 
15 His wisdom is uiisearcliable in them. 

AT this also my heart trembleth, 
and is moved out of his place. 

2 t Hear attentively the noise of 
his voice, and the sound that goeth 
out of his mouth. 

3 He directeth it under the whole 
heaven, and his f lightning unto the 
t ends of the earth. 

4 After it ^^a voice roareth; hethun- 
dereth with the voice of his excel- 
lency : and he will not stay them 
when his voice is heard. 

5 God thunderethmarvellously with 
his voice ; t-great things doeth he, 
which we cannot comprehend. 

6 For <^he saith to the snow. Be 
thou on the earth ; f likewise to the 
small rain, and to the great rain of 
his strength. 

7 He sealeth up the hand of every 
man; <^that all men may know his 
work. 

8 Then the beasts ^go into dens, 
and remain in their places.

forth 1 or canst thou mark when ^the 
hinds do calve ? 

2 Canst thou number the months 
that they fulfil ? or knowest thou the 
time when they bring forth ? 

3 They bow themselves, they bring 
forth their young ones, they cast out 
their sorrows. 

4 Their young ones are in good 
liking, they grow up with corn ; they 
go forth, and return not unto them, 

5 Who hath sent out the wild ass 
free ? or who hath loosed the bands 
of the wild ass ? 

6 ''Whose house I have made the 
wilderness, and the f barren land his

7 He scorneth the multitude of the

8 The range of the mountains is

every green thing. 

9 Will the c unicorn be willing to

10 Canst thou bind the unicorn 
with his band in the furrow ? or will 
he harrow the valleys after thee ? 

11 Wilt thou trust him, because 
his strength is great ? or wilt thou

will bring home thy seed, and gather 
it into thy barn ?

6 Shall thy- companions make a 
banquet of him ? shall they part him 
among the merchants ? 

7 Canst thou fill his skin with barb- 
edirons ? orhis head Avith fish-spears? 

8 Lay thy hand upon him, remem- 
ber the battle, do no more. 

9 Behold, the hope of him is in 
vam : shall not one be cast down 
even at the sight of him ? 

10 None is so fierce that dare stir 
him up : who then is able to stand 
before me ? 

11 =AVho hath prevented me, that 
I should repay him ? ^ ivhatsoever is 
under the whole heaven is mine. 

12 1 will not conceal his parts, nor 
his power, nor his comely pi'oportion. 

13 Who can discover the face of 
his garment ? or who can come to 
hi/n II with his double bridle ? 

14 AVho can open the doors of his 
face ? his teeth are terrible round 
about. 

15 His f scales are his pride, shut 
up together as with a close seal. 

16 One is so near to another, that 
no air can come between them. 

17 They are joined one to another, 
they stick together, that they cannot 
be sundered. 

18 By his neesings a light doth 
shine, and his eyes are like the eye- 
lids of the morning. 

19 Out of his mouth go burning 
lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. 

20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, 
as out of a seething pot or caldron. 

21 His breath kindleth coals, and a 
flame goeth out of his mouth. 

22 In his neck remaineth strength, 
and f sorrow is turned into joy be- 
fore him. 

23 t The flakes of his flesh are join- 
ed together : they are firm in them- 
selves ; they cannot be moved. 

24 His heart is as firm as a stone ; 
yea, as hacd as a piece of the nether 
inillstone. 

25 When he raiseth uj) himself, 
the mighty are afraid : by reason of 
breakings they purify themselves 

26 The sword of him that layeth at 
him cannot hold : the spear, the dart, 
nor the || habergeon. 

27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and 
brass as rotten wood. 

28 The arrow cannot make him flee :

God accepieth Job, and 

sling-stones are turned with him in- 
to stubble. 

29 Darts are counted as stubble: he. 
laugheth at the shaking of a spear. 

30 t Sharp stones are under him : 
he spreadeth sharp-pointed things 
upon the mire. 

31 He maketh the deep to boil like 
a pot : he maketh the sea like a pot 
of ointment. 

32 He maketh a path to shine after 
him ; one would think the deep to be 
hoary. 

33 Upon earth there is not his like, 
11 who is made without fear. 

34 He beholdeth all high things : 
he is a king over all the children of 
pride.

THEN Job answered the Lord, 
and said, 

2 I know that thou ^ canst do every

withholden from thee. 

3 ''Who is he that hideth counsel

4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will

5 I have heard of thee by the hear- 
ing of the ear : but now mine eye 
seeth thee : 

6 Wherefore I «= abhor myself, and

7 ^ And it was so, that after the 
Lord had spoken these words unto 
Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the

my servant Job shall i^pray for you : 
for f him will I accept : lest I deal 
with you after your folly, in that ye 
have not spoken of me the thing 
which is right, like my servant Job. 

9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and 
Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the 
Naamathite went, and did according 
as the Lord commanded them : the 
Lord also accepted f Job. 

10 'And the Lord turned the cap- 
tivity of Job, when he prayed for his 
friends : also the Lord f gave Job 
k twice as much as he had before. 

11 Then came there unto him 'all 
his brethren, and all his sisters, and 
all they that had been of his acquaint- 
ance before, and did eat bread with 
him in his house : and they bemoan- 
ed him, and comforted him over all 
the evil that the Lord had brought 
upon him : every man also gave him 
a piece of money, and every one an 
ear-ring of gold. 

12 So the Lord blessed ""the latter 
end of Job more than his beginning : 
for he had " fourteen thousand sheep, 
and six thousand camels, and a thou- 
sand yoke of oxen, and a thousand 
she-asses. 

13 "He had also seven sons, and 
three daughters. 

14 And he called the name of the 
first, Jemima ; and the name of the 
second, Kezia ; and the name of the 
third, Keren-happuch. 

15 And in all the land were no wo- 
men found so fair as the daughters 
of Job : and their father gave them 
inheritance among their brethren. 

16 After this P lived Job a hun- 
dred and forty years, and saw his 
sons, and his sons' sons, even four 
generations. 

17 So Job died, being old and nfuH 
of days.

the things that are equal. 

3 Thou hast proved my heart ; 
^thou hast visited ine in the night ; 
''thou hast tried me, and shalt find 
nothing : I am purposed that my 
mouth shall not transgress. 

4 Concerning tlie works of men, by 
the word of thy lips I have kept me 
from the paths of the destroyer.

wilt hear me, O God : incline thine 
ear unto me, and hear my speech.

hand them which put their trust in 
thee from those that rise up against

me, from f my deadly enemies, who

10 '^ They are enclosed in their own 
fat: with their mouth they 'speak 
proudly. 

1 1 They have now i^ compassed us 
in our steps: Hhey have set their 
eyes bowing down to the earth ; 

12 t Like as a lion that is greedy of 
his prey, and as it were a young lion 
f lurking in secret places. 

13 Arise, O Lord, f disappoint 
him, cast him down: deliver mj. 
soul from the wicked, "^ \\ which is 
thy sword : 

14 II From men which are thy hand, 
O Lord, from men of the world, 
"ivhich have their portion in this life, 
and whose belly thou fillest with thy 
hid treasure : \\ they are full of chil- 
dren, and leave the rest of their sub- 
stance to their babes, 

15 As- for me, °l will behold thy 
face in lighteousness : pI shall be 
satisfied, when I awake, with thy 
likeness. 

PSALM xvm. 

Danid praiseth God for his manifold and marvel- 
lous blessings. 

% To the chief Musician, A Psalm ot 
David, * the sei-vant of the Lord, 
who spake unto the Lord the 
words of * this song in the day that 
the Lord delivered him from the 
hand of all his enemies, and from 
the hand of Saul : And he said, 

I 3- WILL love thee, O Lord, my 
strength. 

2 The Lord is my rock, and my 
fortress, and my deliverer ; my God, 
f my strength, '' in whom I will trust ; 
my buckler, and the hom of my sal- 
vation, and my high tower. 

3 I will call upon the Lord, '^who 
is worthy to be praised : so shall I 
be saved from mine enemies. 

4 ''The sorrows of death compassed 
me, and the floods of f migodly men 
made me afraid. 

5 The II sorrows of hell compassed 
me about : the snares of death pre- 
vented me, 

6 In my distress I called upon the 
Lord, and cried unto my God : he 
heard my voice out of his temple, 
and my cry came before him, even 
into his ears. 

7 «Then the earth shook and trem- 
bled ; the foundations also of the 

580 



for God's mighty deliverances 

hills moved and were shaken, be 
cause he was wroth. 

8 There went up a smoke f out of 
his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth 
devoured: coals were kindled by it. 

9 ^He bowed the heavens also, and 
came down : and darkness teas under 
his feet. 

10 ?And he rode upon a cherub 
and did fly: yea, ''he did fly upon 
the wings of the wind. 

11 He made darkness his secret 
place ; 'his pavilion round about him 
were dark waters and thick clouds 
of the skies. 

12 ''At the brightness that teas be- 
fore him his thick clouds passed, 
hsiH-stones and coals of fire. 

13 The Lord also thundered in the 
heavens, and the Highest gave ' his 
voice ; h&W-stones and coals of fire. 

14 '"Yea, he sent out his arrows, 
and scattered them; and he shot out 
lightnings, and discomfited them. 

15 "Then the channels of waters 
were seen, and the foundations of the 
world were discovered at thy rebuke, 
O Lord, at the blast of the breath 
of thy nostrils. 

16° He sent from above, he took 
me, he drew me out of || many wa- 
ters. 

17 He delivered me from my strong 
enemy, and from them which hated 
me : for they were too strong for me. 

18 They prevented me in the day 
of my calamity: but the Lord was 
my stay. 

19 P He brought me forth also into 
a large place : he delivered me, be- 
cause he delighted in me. 

20 1 The Lord rewarded me accord- 
ing to my righteousness ; according 
to the cleanness of my hands hath 
he recompensed me. 

21 For I have kept the ways of the 
Lord, and have not wickedly de- 
parted from my God. 

22 For all his judgments icere be- 
fore me, and I did not put away his 
statutes from me. 

23 I was also upright f before him, 
and I kept myself from mine ini 
quity. 

24 ''Therefore hath the Lord re- 
compensed me according to my right 
eousness, according to the cleanness 
of my hands f in his eyesight.

30 J.S for God, y his way is perfect :

31 ''For who is God save the Lord?

33 •' He maketh my feet like hinds'

34 fHe teacheth my hands to war, 
so that a bow of steel is broken by 
mine arms. 

35 Thou hast also given me the 
shield of thy salvation : and thy right 
hand hath holden me up, and || thy 
gentleness hath made me great. 

36 Thou hast enlarged my steps 
under me, s that fmy feet did not 
shp. 

37 I have pursued mine enemies, 
and overtaken them: neither did I 
turn again till they were consumed. 

38 I have wounded them that they

under my feet. 

39 For thou hast girded me with 
strength unto the battle : thou hast 
f subdued under me those that rose 
up against me. 

40 Thou hast also given me the 
necks of mine enemies ; that I might 
destroy them that hate me.

sheweth his handy work. 

2 Day unto day uttereth speech,

ledge. 

3 There is no speech nor language,

joiceth as a strong man to run a race. 

6 His going forth is from the end

the ends of it : and there is nothing 
hid from the heat thereof.

8 And hast not ' shut me up into

9 Have mercy upon me, O Lord, 
for I am in trouble : ' mine eye is 
consumed with grief, yea, my soul

10 For my life is spent with grief, 
and my years with sighing : my 
strength faileth because of mine ini-

5 1 acknowledged my sin unto thee,

shall not come nigh unto him. 

7 ^ Thou a?-i my hiding-place ; thou

1 David prayeth for his oicn safety, atid his ene- 
mies^ confusion. 11 He complaineth of their 
tcronsful dealing. 2"2 Thereby he inciteth God 
against them. 

If A Psalm of David. 

PLEAD ^my cause, O Lord, with 
them tliat strive with me : ^ fight 
against them that fight against me. 

2 ^Take hold of shield and buckler, 
and stand up for my help. 

3 Draw out also the spear, and stop 
the way against them that persecute 
me : say unto my soul, I am thy sal- 
vation. 

4 (iLet them be confounded and put 
to shame that seek after my soul : let 
them be "^turned back and brought 
to confusion that devise my hurt. 

5 ''Let them be as chaff before the 
wind : and let the angel of the Lord 
chase them, 

6 Let their way be f ffdark and 
slipperj"^ : and let the angel of the 
Lord persecute them. 

7 For without cause have they ''hid 
for me their net in a pit, which with- 
out cause they have digged for mv 
soul. 

8 Let 'destruction come upon him 
t at unawares ; and ''let his net that 
he hath hid catch himself: into that 
very destruction let him fall. 

9 And my soul shall be joj'ful in 
the Lord: 'it shall rejoice in his 
salvation. 

10 "nAll my bones shall say, Lord, 
"who is like unto thee, which deliv- 
erest the poor from him that is too 
strong for him, yea, the poor and the 
needy from liim that spoileth him ? 

11 t "False witnesses did rise up ; 
t they laid to my charge things that 

I knew not. 

1 2 P They rewarded me evil for good 
to the f spoiling of my soul. 

13 But as for me, <iwhen they were 
sick, my clothing was sackcloth : I 

II humbled my soul with fasting ; 



David complaineth of his ene)nies. 

'and my prayer returned into mine 
own bosom. 

14 I f behaved myself f as though 
he had been my friend or brother : I 
bowed down heavily, as one that 
mourneth /or his mother. 

1 5 But in mine f adversity they re- 
joiced, and gathered themselves to- 
gether: yea, '^the abjects gathered 
themselves together against me, and 
I knew it not ; they did Hear me, and 
ceased not : 

16 With hypocritical mockers in 
feasts, "they gnashed upon me with 
their teeth. 

17 Lord, how long wilt thou -''look 
on ? rescue my soul from their de- 
structions, t ymy darling from the 
lions. 

18 ^I will give thee thanks in the 
great congregation: I will praise thee 
among f much people. 

19 '^Let not them that are mine 
enemies f wrongfully rejoice over 
me : neither ^let them wink Avith the 
eye <=that hate me without a cause. 

20 For they speak not peace : but 
they devise deceitful matters against 
them that are quiet in the land. 

21 Yea, they ^ opened their mouth 
wide against me, aTic? said, eAha,aha! 
our eye hath seen it. 

22 This thou hast ^seen, O Lord : 
gkeep not silence : O Lord, be not 
I' far from me. 

23 ' Stir up thyself, and awake to 
my judgment, even unto my cause, 
my God and my Lord. 

24 "^ Judge me, O Lord my God, 
•according to thy righteousness ; and 
""let them not rejoice over me. 

25 "Let them notsayin their hearts, 
t Ah, so would we have it : let them 
not say, °Wehave swallowed him up. 

26 pLet them be ashamed and 
brought to confusion together that 
rejoice at my hurt : let them be 
s clothed with shame and dishonour 
that ''magnify themselves against me. 

27 ^Let them shout for joy, and 
be glad, that favour f my righteous 
cause : yea, let them 'say continu- 
ally. Let the Lord be magnified, 
"which hath pleasure in the pros- 
perity of his sei-vant. 

28 ^And my tongue shall speak of 
thy righteousness and of thy praise

The falsehood of the wicked. 
PSALM XXXVL 

1 The grievous estate of the wicked. 5 TTie ex- 
cellency of God's mercy. 10 David pray eth for 
favour to God's children. 

Tf To the chief Musician, A Psalm 
of David the servant of the Lord. 

THE transgression of the wicked 
saith within my heart, that ^ there 
is no fear of God before his eyes. 

2 For tihe flattereth himself in his 
own eyes, f until his iniquity be found 
to be hateful. 

3 The words of his mouth are ini- 
quity and c deceit: <^he hath left otT 
to be wise, and to do good. 

4 f^He deviseth || mischief upon his 
bed ; he setteth himself ^in a way that 
is not good ; he abhorreth not evil. 

5 sThy mercy, O Lord, is in the 
heavens ; and thy faithfulness reach- 
eth unto the clouds. 

6 Thy righteousness is like f the 
great mountains ; ^thy judgments 
are a great deep: O Lord, 'thou 
preservest man and beast. 

7 i^How f excellent is thy loving- 
kindness, O God ! therefore the chil- 
dren of men 'put their trust under 
the shadow of thy wings. 

8 ■" They shall be f abundantly sa- 
tisfied with the fatness of thy house ; 
and thou shalt make them drink of 
"the river °of thy pleasures. 

9 PFor with thee is the fountain of 
life : lin thy light shall we see light, 

10 O f continue thy loving-kind- 
ness ''unto them that know thee; 
and thy righteousness to the ^ up- 
right in heart. 

11 Let not the foot of pride come 
against me, and let not the hand of 
the wicked remove me. 

12 There are the workers of iniqui- 
ty fallen : they are cast down, ^and 
shall not be able to rise. 

PSALM XXXVIL 

David persuadeth to patience and confidence in 
God, by the different estate of the godly and the 
wiclied. 

1 A Psalm of David. 

FRET ^not thyself because of evil 
doers, neither be thou envious 
against the workers of iniquity. 

2 For they shall soon be cut down 
^like the grass, and wither as the 
green herb. 

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good ; 
so shalt thou dwell in the land, and 
f verily thou shalt be fed. 

4 <= Delight thyself also in the Lord

The different end of 

and he shall give thee the desu-es of 

thy heart. 

5 t'l Commit thy way unto the 
Lord ; trust also in him ; and he 
shall bring it to pass. 

6 eAnd he shall bring forth thy 
righteousness as the hght, and thy 
judgment as the noon-day. 

7 t'fRest in the Lord, ?and wait 
patiently for him : '"fret not thyself 
because of him who prospereth in his 
way, because of the man who bring- 
eth wicked devices to pass. 

8 Cease from anger, and forsake 
wrath : ' fret not thyself in any wise 
to do evil. 

9 ''For evil doers shall be cut off 
but those that wait upon the Lord, 
they shall 'inherit the earth. 

10 For ™yet a little while, and the 
wicked shall not be : yea, " thou shalt 
diligently consider his place, and it 
shall not be. 

11 °But the meek shall inherit the 
earth ; and shall delight themselves 
in the abundance of peace. 

12 The wicked Uplotteth against 
the just, Pand gnasheth upon him 
with his teeth. 

13 4 The Lord shall laugh at him : 
for he seeth that ""his day is com- 
ing. 

14 The wicked have drawn out the 
sword, and have bent their bow, to 
cast down the poor and needy, and 
to slay f such as be of upright con 
versation. 

15 "Their sword shall enter into 
their own heart, and their bows shall 
be broken. 

16 'A Httle that a righteous man 
hath is better than the riches of ma 
ny wicked. 

17 For "the arms of the wicked shall 
be broken : but the Lord upholdeth 
the righteous. 

18 The Lord -^knoweth the days 
of the upright : and their inheritance 
shEill be y for ever. 

19 They shall not be ashamed in the 
evil time: and ^ in the days of famine 
they shall be satisfied. 

20 But the wicked shall perish, and 
the enemies of the Lord shall be as 
t the fat of lambs : they shall con- 
sume ; a into smoke shall they con 
sume away.

David imploreth God's mercy. 
PSALM XXXVIU. 

David moveth God to take compassion of his 
pitiful case. 

TI A Psalm of David, * to bring to 
remembrance. 

03^ LORD, rebuke me not in thy 
wrath : neither chasten me in 
thy hot displeasure. 

2 For b thine arrows stick fast in 
me, and ^^thy hand presseth me sore. 

3 There is no soundness in my flesh 
because of thine anger; '^neither zs 
there any f rest in my bones because 
of my sin. 

4 For ^ mine iniquities are gone over 
my head : as a heavy burden they 
are too ^ heavy for me. 

5 My wounds stink, «nc? are corrupt 
because of my foolishness. 

6 I am f troubled ; &I am bowed 
down greatly; ^^I go mourning all 
the day long. 

7 For my loins are filled with a 
'loathsome disease : and there is '^no 
soundness in my flesh. 

8 I am feeble and sore broken : ^I 
have roared byreaso-nof the disquiet- 
ness of my heart. 

9 Lord, all my desire is before thee ; 
andmy groaning is nothid from thee. 

10 My heart panteth, my strength 
faileth me : as for ™ the light of mine 
eyes, it also fis gone from me. 

11 'iMy lovers and my friends "stand 
aloof from my f sore ; and 1| my kins- 
men P stand afar off". 

12 They also that seek after my hfe 
ilay snares/or me; and they that seek 
my hurt ''speak mischievous things, 
and s imagine deceits all the daylong. 

13 But*!, as adeafma?i, heard not; 
"and I was as a dumb man that open- 
eth not his mouth. 

14 Thus I was as a man that hear- 
eth not, and in whose mouth are no 
reproofs. 

15 For II in thee, O Lord, ^do I 
hope : thou wilt |1 hear, O Lord my 
God. 

16 For I said, Hear me, vlest other- 
wise they should rejoice over me : 
when my ^foot slippeth, they a- mag- 
nify themselves against me. 

17 For I am ready f to halt, and my 
sorrow is continually before me. 

18 Fori will i^declare mine iniqui- 
ty ; I will be *= sorry for my sin.

The brevity and vanity of human life, 
and they are strong : and they that 
•^hate me wrongfully, are multiplied. 

20 They also ^that render evil for 
good are mine adversaries ; f because 
1 follow the thing that good is. 

21 Forsake me not, O Lord: Omy 
God, she not far from me. 

22 Make haste + to help me, O 
Lord ''my salvation. 

PSALM XXXIX. 

1 David's care of his thoughts. 4 The considera- 
tion of the brevity and vanity of life, 7 the re- 
verence of God's J advents, 10 and prayer, are 
his bridles of impatiency. 

TI To the chief Musician, even to * Je- 
duthun, A Psalm of David. 

I SAID, I will atake heed to my 
ways, that I sin not with my 
tongue: I will keep f^my mouth 
with a bridle, Awhile the wicked, is 
before me. 

2^1 was dumb with silence ; I held 
my peace, even from good ; and my 
sorrow was f stirred. 

3 My heartwas hot withinme ; while 
I was musing ^the fire burned: then 
spake I with my tongue. 

4 Lord, ^make me to know mine 
end, and the measure of my days, 
what it is ; that I may know || how ll 
frail I am. ^ 

5 Behold, thou hast made my days 
as a handbreadth ; and ?mine age is 
as nothing before thee: ^verily every 
man f at his best state is altogether 
vanity. Selah. 

6 Surely every man walketh in f 'a 
vain shew : surely they are disquiet- 
ed in vain : •'^he heapeth up riches, 
and knoweth not who shall gather 
them. 

7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? 
'my hope is in thee. 

8 Deliver me from all my trangres- 
sions: make me not "^the reproach 
of the foolish. 

9 "I was dumb, I opened not my 
mouth; because "thou didst it. 

10 P Remove thy stroke away from 
me : I am consumed by the f blow of 
thy hand. 

11 AVhen thou with rebukes dost 
correct man for iniquity, thou makest 
t his beauty qto consume away like 
a moth : ^ surely every man is vanity. 
Selah. 

12 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and 
give ear unto my cry ; hold not thy 
peace at my tears: sfor I «ot a stran-

no more. 

PSALM XL. 

1 The benefit of confidence in God. 6 Obedience 
it the best sacrifice. 11 The sense of David's 
emit inflamelh his prayer. 

Tf To the chief Alusician, A Psalm of 
David. 

It^WAITED patiently for the 
Lord ; and he inclined unto me, 
and heard my cry. 

2 He brought me up also out of 
■)■ a horrible pit, out of ''the miry 
clay, and <=set my feet upon a rock, 
and ^ established my goings. 

3 «And he hath put a new song in 
my mouth, even praise unto our God : 
fmany shall see it, and fear, and shall 
trust in the Lord. 

4 g Blessed is that man tliat maketh 
the Lord his trust, and ^respecteth 
not the proud, nor such as ' turn aside 
to lies. 

5 ■'Many, O Lord my God, are thy 
wonderful works which thou hast 
done, 'and thy thoughts which are to 
us-ward : || they cannot be reckoned 
up in order unto thee : if I would 
declare and speak of them, they are 
more than can be numbered.

God, the holy place of the taberna- 
cles of the Most High. 

5 God is fin the midst of her ; she 
shall not be moved : God shall help 
her, t and that right early. 

6 s The heathen raged, the kingdoms 
were moved : he uttered his voice, 
J^ the earth melted. 

7 ' The Lord of hosts is with us ; 
the God of Jacob is f our refuge. 
Selah. 

8 ''Come, behold the works of the 
Lord, what desolations he hath made 
in the earth. 

9 ' He maketh wars to cease unto 
the end of the earth ; ™ he breaketh 
the bow, and cutteth the spear in 
sunder ; " he bumeth the chariot in 
the fire, 

10 Be still, and know that I am 
God : o I will be exalted among the

3 God IS known in her palaces for 
a refuge. 

4 For lo, &the kings were assem- 
bled, they passed by together. 

5 They saw it, and so they marvel- 
led ; they were troubled, and hasted 
away. 

6 Fear ^ took hold upon them there, 
i and pain, as of a woman in travail.

8 As we have heard, so have we

will ° establish it for ever, Selah. 

9 We have thought of ° thy loving 
kindness, O God, in the midst of thy

10 According to Pthy name, O God,

1 David, complaining of the Ziphims, prayeth for 
salvation. 4 Upon his confidence in God's help 
he promiseth sacrifice. 

% To the chief Musician on Negi- 
noth, Maschil, ^1 Psalm of David, 
* when the Ziphims came and 
said to Saul, Doth not David hide 
himself with us ? 

SAVE me, O God, by thy name, 
and judge me by thy strength. 

2 Hear my prayer, O God : give 
ear to the words of my mouth. 

3 For "strangers are risen up 
against me, and oppressors seek after 
my soul : they have not set God be- 
fore them. Selah. 

4 Behold, God /s my helper : ''the 
Lord jswith them that upholdmy soul. 

5 He shall reward evil unto f mine 
enemies ; cut them oft'<=in thy truth. 

6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee : 
I will praise thy name, O Lord ; 
•ifor it is good. 

7 For he hath delivered me out of 
all trouble : f^and mine eye hath seen 
his desire upon mine enemies. 

PSALM LV. 

David in his prayer complaineth of his fearful 
ease. 9 He prayeth against his enemies, of 
vhose wickedness and treachery he complaineth. 
16 He eomforteth himself in God' a preservation 
of him, and confusion of his enemies. 

H To the chief Musician on Negi- 
noth, Maschil, A Psalm of David. 

GIVE ear to my prayer, O God ; 
and hide not thyself from my 
supplication. 

2 Attend unto me, and hear me ; I 
* mourn in my complaint, and make 
a noise ; 

3 Because of the voice of the ene- 
my, because of the oppression of the 
wicked : ''for they cast iniquity upon 
me, and in wrath they hate me. 

4 <=My heart is sore pained within 
me : and the terrors of death are 
fallen upon me. 

5 Tearfulness and trembling are 
come upon me, and horror hath 
f overwhelmed me. 

6 And I said, Oh that I had wings 
like a dove ! for then would I fly 
away, and be at rest. 

7 Lo, then would I wander far off, 
ant/ remain in the wilderness. Selah. 

8 I would hasten my escape from 
the windy storm and tempest.

David prayeih against his enemies. 

9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide tlieir 
tongues : for I have seen •^violence 
and strife in the city. 

10 Day and night they go about it 
upon the walls thereof: mischief also 
and sorrow are in the midst of it. 

1 1 AYickedness ism the midstthere 
of: deceit and guile depart not from 
her streets. 

12 ^For it was not an enemy that 
reproached me ; then I could have 
borne it: neitlier was it he that hated 
me that did ''magnify JiimseJf against 
me ; then I would have hid myself 
from him : 

13 But it was thou, fa man mine 
equal, &my guide, and mine acquaint- 
ance. 

14 f We took sweet counsel toge 
ther, and ^ walked unto the house of 
God in company. 

15 Let death seize upon them, ajid 
let them 'go down quick into || hell ;

16 As for me, I will call upon God : 
and the Lord shall save me. 

17 •*: Evening, and morning, and at 
noon, will I pray, and cry aloud : and 
he shall hear my voice. 

18 He hath delivered my soul in 
peace from the battle that was against 
me : for 'there were many with me. 

19 God shall hear and afflict them, 
™even he that abideth of old. Selah. 
II Because they have no changes, 
therefore tliey fear not God. 

20 He hath "put forth his hands 
against such as "beat peace with liim: 
f he hath broken his covenant. 

21 vThc words of his mouth were 
smoother than butter, but war was in 
his heart : his words were softer than 
oil, yet were they drawn swords. 

22 iCast thy || burden upon the 
Lord, and he shall sustain thee : ""he 
shall never suft'er the righteous to be 
moved. 

23 But thou, O God, shalt bring

I took not away. 

5 O God, thou knowest my foolish- 
ness ; and my f sins are not hid from 
thee. 

6 Let not them that wait on thee, 
O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed 
for my sake : let not those that seek 
thee be confounded for my sake, O 
God of Israel. 

7 Because for thy sake I have borne 
reproach : shame hath covered my 
face. 

8 '' I am become a stranger unto my 
brethren, and an alien unto my mo-

His prayer for Solomon 

4 "^He shall judge the poor of the 
people, he shall save the children of 
the needy, and shall break in pieces 
the oppressor. 

5 They shall fear thee ^ as long as 
the sun and moon endure, through- 
out all generations. 

6 ^He shall come down like rain 
upon the mown grass : as showers 
that water the earth. 

7 In his days shall the righteous 
flourish: ^and abundance of peace 
f so long as the moon endureth. 

8 g He shall have dominion also from 
sea to sea, and from the river unto 
the ends of the earth. 

9 h They that dwell in the wilder- 
ness shall bow before him; ' and his 
enemies shall lick the dust. 

10 ^The kings of Tarshish and of 
the isles shall bring presents : the 
kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer 
gifts. 

1 1 • Yea, all kings shall fall down 
before him : all nations shall serve 
him. 

12 For he ""shall deliver the needy 
when he crieth; the poor also, and 
him that hath no helper.

15 And he shall live, and to him 
f shall be given of the gold of Sheba :

of Jesse are ended. 

PSALM LXXin. 

1 The prophet, pretailing in a temptation, 2 $hetc- 
eth the occmion thereof, the prosperity of the 
Kicked. 13 The Kound^iten thereby, diffidence. 
15 The victory over U, knowledge of God^ spur- 
pose, in destroying of the tcicked, and sustain- 
ing the righteous. 

t II A Psalm of * Asaph. 

TRULY II God is good to Israel, 
even to such as are f of a clean 
heart. 

2 But as for me, my feet were almost 
gone ; my steps had well nigh slipped. 

3 =^For I was envious at the foohsh, 
v:he7i I saw the prosperity of the 
wicked. 

4 For there are no bands in their 
death : but their strength is f firm. 

5 ''They are not f in trouble as 
other men ; neither are they plagued 
t like other men. 

6 Therefore pride compasseth them 
about as a chain ; violence covereth 
them '^as a garment. 

7 <* Their eyes stand out with fat- 
ness : t they have more than heart 
could wish. 

8 ^They are corrupt, and ^speak 
wickedly concerning oppression : 
tliey ? speak loftily. 

9 They set their mouth ''against 
the heavens, and their tongue walk- 
eth through the earth. 

10 Therefore his people return 
hither : 'and waters of a full cup are 
wrung out to them. 

11 And they say, ''How doth God 
know ? and is there knowledge in 
the Most High ? 

12 Behold, these are the ungodly, 
who 'prosper in the world ; they in 
crease in riches. 

13 ""Verily I have cleansed JTfiyiyi-'jt''^';, 
heart in vain, and "washed my hands 
in innocency. 

14 For all the day long have I been 
plagued, and \ chastened ever}' morn- 
ing. 

15 If I say, I will speak thus ; be- 
hold, I should offend against the ge- 
neration of thy children. 

16 °When I thought to know this, 
f it iras too painful for me ; 

17 Until pI went into the sanctuar}' 
of God : then understood I qtheir end. p'K'- 77. 13.

The desolation of the sanctuary. 

19 How are they brought into de- 
solation, as in a moment ! they are 
utterly consumed Avith terrors. 

20 * As a dream when one awaketh ; 
so, O Lord, *when thou awakest, 
thou shalt despise their image. 

21 Thus my heart was "grieved, 
and I was pricked in my reins. 

22 ^So foohsh ivas 1, and f ig- 
norant ; I was as a beast f before 
thee. 

23 Nevertlieless I a7n continually 
with thee : thou hast holden me by 
my right hand. 

24 ) Thou shalt guide me with thy 
counsel, and afterward receive me 
to glory. 

25 ^Whom have I in heaven but 
thee ? and there is none upon earth 
that I desire besides thee. 

26 'I My flesh and my heart faileth : 
but God is the f strength of my heart, 
and ''my portion for ever. 

27 For lo, ^thej' that are far from 
thee shall perish : thou hast destroy- 
ed all them that ^go a whoring from 
thee. 

28 But it is good for me to ^draw 
near to God : I have put my trust in 
the Lord God, that I may 'declare 
all thy works. 

PSALM LXXIV. 

1 ITie prophet complainetJt of the desolation ofUie 
sanctuary. 10 He movcih God to help in'con- 
sidcratiou of his power, IS of his reproachful 
enemies, of his children, and of his covenant. 

^ II Maschil of Asaph. 

OGOD, why hast thou ^cast us 
off for ever ? why doth thine 
anger i^ smoke against '^the sheep of 
thy pasture ? 

2 Remember thy congregation, 
'hchich thou hast purchased of old ; 
the II <:rod of thine inheritance, which 
thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, 
wherein thou hast dwelt. 

3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpe- 
tual desolations ; even all that the 
enemy hath done wickedly in the 
sanctuary. 

4 ''Thine enemies roar in the midst 
of thy congregations; sthey set up 
their ensigns for signs. 

5 A man was famous according as 
he had lifted up axes upon the thick 
trees. 

6 But now they break down lithe 
cai-ved work thereof at once with 
axes and hammers. 

609 



The psalmist craveth God's help. 

7 'fThey have cast fire into thy 
sanctuary, they have defiled^by cast- 
ing down the dwelHng-place of thy 
name to the ground. 

8 ^They said in their hearts, Let 
us f destroy them together : they have 
burned up all the synagogues of God 
in tlie land. 

9 We see not our signs : "> there is 
no more any prophet : neither is 
there among us any that knoweth 
how long. 

10 O God, how long shall the ad- 
versary reproach ? shall the enemy 
blaspheme thy name for ever ? 

11 "Why withdrawest thou thy 
hand, even thy right hand 1 pluck it 
out of thy bosom. 

12 For °God is my King of old, 
working salvation in the midst of the 
earth. 

13 PThou didst f divide the sea by 
thy strength : qthou brakestthe heads 
of the II dragons in the waters. 

14 Thou brakest the heads of le 
viathan in pieces, and gavest him ^to 
he meat ^to the people inhabiting the 
wilderness. 

15 tThou didst cleave the fountain 
and the flood : "thou driedst up 
f mighty rivers. 

16 The day is thine, the night also 
is thine: "thou hast prepared the 
light and the sun. 

17 Thou hast yset ail the borders 
of the earth : ^thou hast f made sum- 
mer and winter. 

18 ^Remember this, that the enemy 
hath reproached, O Lord, and that 
^the foolish people have blasphemed 
thy name. 

19 O deliver not the soul ^of thy 
turtle-dove unto the multitude of the 
wicked: "^ forget not the congrega- 
tion of thy poor for ever. 

20 <=Have respect unto the cove- 
nant : for the dark places of the earth 
are full of the habitations of cruelty. 

21 O let not the oppressed return 
ashamed : let the poor and needy 
praise thy name. 

22 Arise, O God, plead thine own 
cause : ^remember how the foolish 
man reproacheth thee daily. 

23 Forget not the voice of thine 
enemies : the tumult of those that 
rise up against thee f increaseth con- 
tinually.

15 tHe clave the rocks in the wil 
derness, and gave them drink as out 
of the great depths. 

16 He brought "streams also out 
of the rock, and caused waters to run 
down like rivers. 

17 And they sinned yet more a- 
gainst him by '^ provoking the Most 
High in the wilderness. 

18 And ythey tempted God in their 
heart by asking meat for their lust. 

19 ^Yea, they spake against God ; 
they said, Can God f furnish a table 
in the wilderness ? 

20 =1 Behold, he smote the rock, that 
the waters gushed out,and the streams 
overflowed ; can he give bread also ? 
can he provide flesh for his people 1 

21 Therefore the Lord heard tins, 
and 1^ was wroth : so a fire was kindled 
against Jacob, and anger also came 
up against Israel ; 

22 Because they (^believed not in 
God, and trusted not in his salvation: 

23 Though he had commanded the 
clouds from above, "^ and opened the 
doors of heaven, 

24 <=And had rained down manna 
upon them to eat, and had given 
them of the corn of heaven. 

25 II Man did eat angels' food: he 
sent them meat to the full. 

26 ''He caused an east wind f to 
blow in the heaven : and by his power 
he brought in the south wind. 

27 He rained flesh also upon them 
as dust, and f feathered fowls like as 
the sand of the sea : 

28 And he let it fall in the midst 
of their camp, round about their ha- 
bitations.

desire : 

30 They were not estranged from 
their lust: but ^^ while their meat 
was yet in their mouths, 

31 The wrath of God came upon 
them, and slew the fattest of them, 
and f smote down the jl chosen men 
of Israel. 

32 For all this 'they sinned still, and 
■^believed not for his wondrous works. 

33 1 Therefore their days did he 
consume in vanity, and their years in 
trouble. 

34 ™ When he slew them, then they 
sought him : and they returned and 
inquired early after God. 

35 And they remembered that "God 
icas their Rock, and the high God 
"their Redeemer. 

36 Nevertheless they did P flatter 
him with their mouth, and they lied 
unto him with their tongues. 

37 For 1 their heart was not right 
with him, neither were they steadfast 
in his covenant. 

38 ""But he, being full of compas- 
sion, forgave their iniquity, and de- 
stroyed them not : yea, many a time 
s turned lie his anger away, 'and did 
not stir up all his wrath. 

39 For "he remembered ^thatthey 
loere but flesh ; Ja wind that passeth 
away, and cometh not again. 

40 How oft did they || ^provokehim 
in the wilderness, and grieve him in 
the desert ! 

41 Yea, =^they turned back and 
tempted God, and ''limited the Holy 
One of Israel. 

42 They remembered not his hand, 
nor the day when he delivered them 
II from the enemy. 

43 How t^he had f wrought his signs 
in Egypt, and his wonders in the field 
of Zoan : 

44 ^ And had turned their rivers in- 
to blood : and their floods, that they 
could not drink. 

45 eHe sent divers sorts of flies 
among them, which devoured them ; 
and ffrogs which destroyed them. 

46 sHe gave also their increase un- 
to the caterpillar, and their labour 
unto the locust. 

47 hHe f destroyed their vines with 
hail, and their sycamore-trees with 
II frost.

and disobedient. 

48 i f He gave up their cattle also 
to the hail, and their flocks to || hot 
thunder-bolts. 

49 He cast upon them the fierce- 
ness of his anger, wrath, and indig- 
nation, and trouble, by sending evil 
angels among them. 

50 fHe made away to his anger; he 
spared not their soul from death, but 
gave Ij their life over to the pestilence;! 

51 '''And smote all the first-born in' 
Egypt; the chief of ^/^ezV strength in, 
• the tabernacles of Ham : 

52 But ™made his own people to' 
go forth like sheep, and guided them 
in the wilderness like a flock. 

53 And he " led them on safely, so 
tliat they feared not: but the sea 
of overwhelmed their enemies. 

54 And he brought them to the bor- 
der of Ills P sanctuar)', even to this 
mountain, ^ivliich his right hand had 
purchased. 

55 ■'He cast out the heathen also 
before them, and ^ divided them an 
inheritance by line, and made the 
tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 

56 'Yet they tempted and provoked 
ihe most high God, and kept not liis 
testimonies : 

57 But " turned back, and dealt un- 
faithfully like their fathers : they were 
turned aside '"^like a deceitful bow. 

58 y For they provoked him to anger 
with their '^high places, and moved 
him to jealousy with their graven 
images. 

59 When God heard this, he was 
wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel : 

GO '^ So that he forsook the taber- 
nacle of Shiloh, the tent ichich he 
placed among men ; 

61 ^ And delivered his strength into 
captivity, and his glory into the ene- 
my's hand.

with his inheritance.

f given to marriage.

5 For they have consulted together

thy storm.

grave. 

4 <^ I am counted with them that go 
down into the pit : ^I am as a man 
that hath no strength : 

5 Free among the dead, like the 
slain that lie in the grave, whom thou 
rememberest no more : and they are 
'cut off II from thy hand. 

6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest 
pit, in darkness, in the deeps. 

7 Thy wrath lietli hard upon me, 
and sthou hast afflicted ?ne with all 
thy waves. Selah. 

8 'iThou hast put away mine ac- 
quaintance far from me ; thou hast 
made me an abomination unto them : 
'lam shut up, and I cannot come 
forth. 

9 ''Mine eye mourneth by reason of 
affliction : Lord, 'I have called daily 
upon thee, '"I have stretched out my 
hands unto thee. 

10 "AVilt thou shew wonders to the 
dead ? shall the dead arise ant? praise 
thee? Selah.

clared in the grave ? or thy faithful- 
ness in destruction ?

4 How long shall they ^ utter and 
speak hard things ? and all the work-

6 They slay the widow and the

ye be wise ?

he not hear? he that formed the eye, 
shall he not see ?

chastenest, O Lord, and teachest 
him out of thy law ; 

13 That thou mayest give him rest

An exhortation to hless God. 

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with 
good things ; so that ^ thy youth is 
renewed like the eagle's. 

6 gThe Lord executeth righteous- 
ness and judgment for all that are 
oppressed. 

7 'i He made known his ways unto 
Moses, his acts unto the children of 
Israel. 

8 ' The Lord is merciful and gra- 
cious, slow to anger, and f plenteous 
in mercy. 

9 '^He will not always chide ; nei- 
ther will he keep his anger for ever. 

10 ' He hath not dealt with us after 
our sins ; nor rewarded us according 
to our iniquities. 

11 ™For fas the heaven is high 
above the earth, so great is his mercy 
toward them that fear him. 

12 As far as the east is from the 
west, so far hath he "removed our 
transgressions from us. 

13° Like as a father pitieth his chil- 
dren, so the Lord pitieth them that 
fear him. 

14 For he knoweth our frame ; Phe 
remembereth that we are idust. 

15 As for man, ""his days are as 
grass : s as a flower of the field, so he 
flourisheth. 

16 For the wind passeth over it, and 
f it is gone ; and * the place thereof 
shall know it no more. 

17 But the mercy of the Lord is 
from everlasting to everlasting upon 
them that fear him, and his righteous- 
ness "unto children's children; 

18 ''To such as keep his covenant, 
and to those that remember his com- 
mandments to do them. 

19 The Lord hath prepared his 
ythrone in the heavens ; and ^his 
kingdom ruleth over all. 

20 ^Bless the Lord, ye his angels, 
f that excel in strength, that ''do his 
commandments, hearkening untothe 
voice of his word. 

21 Bless ye the Lord, all ye ''his 
hosts ; ^ye ministers of his, that do 
his pleasure. 

22 e Bless the Lord, all his works 
in all places of his dominion : ^bless 
the Lord, O my soul.

A meditation upon God's majesty, 

BLESS athe Lord, O my soul. 
O Lord my God, thou art verj' 
great ; ^ thou art clothed with honour 
and majesty : 

2 cWho coverest thyself vf'ith light 
as with a garment : ^ who stretchest 
out the heavens like a curtain : 

3 e"VVho layeth the beams of his 
chambers in the waters: ^whomaketh 
the clouds his chariot : swho walketh 
upon the wings of the wind : 

4 i^Who maketh his angels spirits; 
•his ministers a flaming fire : 

5 -f^ Who laid the foundations of 
the earth, that it should not be re- 
moved for ever. 

6 'Thou coveredst it with the deep 
as with a garment : the waters stood 
above the mountains. 

7 "'At thy rebuke they fled ; at the 
voice ofthy thundcrthey hasted away. 

8 II "They go up by the mountains ; 
they go down by the valleys unto othe 
place which thou hast founded for 
them. 

9 PThou hast set a bound that they 
may not pass over ; ithat they turn 
not again to cover the earth. 

lOfHe sendeth the springs into 
the valleys, which i run among the 
hills. 

1 1 They give drink to every beast 
of the field : the wild asses f quench 
their thirst. 

12 By them shall the fowls of the 
heaven have their habitation, which 
t sing among the branches. 

13 ^He watereth the hills from his 
chambers: nhe eartiiis satisfied with 
tthe fruit of thy works. 

14 "lie causeth the grass to grow 
for the cattle, and herb for tiie ser- 
vice of man : that he may bring forth 
*food out of the earth: 

15 And ywine that maketh glad the 
heart of man, «nrf foil to make /asfacc 
to shine, and bread which strength- 
eneth man's heart. 

16 The trees of the Lord arc full of 
sap; the cedars of Lebanon, ^ which 
he hath planted ; 

17 Where the birds make their 
nests : us for the stork, the fir-trees 
are her house. 

18 The high hills are a refuge for 
the wild goats ; and the rocks for

company ; the flame burned up the 
wicked. 

19 ^They made a calf in Horeb,

20 Thus a they changed their glory 
into the similitude of an ox that eat-

21 They ''forgat God their saviour, 
which had done great things in 
Egypt; 

22 Wondrous works in = the land 
of Ham, a7id terrible things by the 
Red sea. 

23 '^Therefore he said that he would 
destroy them, had not Moses his 
chosen * stood before him in the 
breach, to turn away his wrath, lest 
he should destroy them. 

24 Yea,they despised 'f the pleasant 
land, they s believed not his word : 

25 '' But murmured in their tents, 
and hearkened not unto the voice of 
the Lord. 

2G 'Therefore he •'lifted up his 
hand against them, to overthrow

among the nations, and to scatter 
them in the lands. 

28 "'They joined themselves also

° for righteousness unto all genera-

38 And shed innocent blood, even

was polluted with blood. 

39 Thus were they ^^ defiled with

hated them ruled over them.

3 I will praise thee, O Lord, a-

8 Gilead is mine ; Manasseh is 
mine ; Ephraim also is the strength

1 1 Wilt not thou, O God, loho hast 
cast us oft? and wilt not thou, O

against me ^i without a cause. 

4 For my love they are my adver-

8 Let his days be few ; and Het an

their bread also out of their desolate 
places. 

11 ^Let the extortioner catch all 
that he hath ; and let the strangers

be remembered with the Lord ; and 
let not the sin of his mother ™be 
blotted out. 

15 Let them be before the Lord 
continually, that he may " cut off the 
memory of them from the earth. 

16 Because that he remembered 
not to shew mercy, but persecuted 
the poor and needy man, that he 
might even slay the ° broken in heart. 

17 pAs he loved cursing, so let it 
come unto him : as he delighted not 
in blessing, so let it be far from him. 

18 As he clothed himself with cvu-s- 
ing like as with his garment, so let it 
•i come f into his bowels like water, 
and like oil into his bones. 

1 9 Let it be unto liim as the gar- 
ment which covereth him, and for a 
girdle wherewith he is girded conti-

20 Let this be the reward of mine 
adversaries from the Lord, and of 
them that speak evil against my soul.

of the God of Jacob ; 

8 h Which turned the rock into a 
standing water, the flint into a foun-

PSALM CXV. 

1 Because God is truly gloriovs, 4 and idols are 
vanity, 9 he exhorleth to confidence in God. 12 
God is to be blessed for his blessings. 

NOT 'I unto us, O Lord, not unto 
us, but unto thy name give glo- 
ry, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's 
sake. 

2 Wherefore should the heathen 
say, '^ Where is now their God? 

3 "^But our God is in the heavens ; 
he hath done whatsoever he pleased. 

4 '^ Their idols are silver and gold, 
the work of men's hands. 

5 They have mouths, but they spealv 
not : eyes have they, but they see not : 

6 They have ears, but they hear not : 
noses have they, but they smell not : 

7 They have hands, but they han- 
dle not : feet have tliey,but tliey walk 
not : neither speak they through their 
throat. 

8 e They that make them are like 
unto them ; so is every one that trust- 
eth in tliem. 

9 f O Israel, trust thou in the Lord : 
?he is their help and their shield. 

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the 
Lord : he is their help and their 
shield. 

1 1 Ye tliat fear the Lord, trust in 
the Lord : he is their help and their 
shield. 

12 The Lord hath been mindful of 
us : he will bless its ; he will bless 
the house of Israel ; he will bless the 
house of Aaron. 

13 hHe will bless them that fear 
the Lord, both small | and great. 

14 The Lord shall increase you 
more and more, you and your chil- 
dren. 

15 Ye are 'blessed of the Lord 
'^ which made heaven and earth. 

16 The heaven, even the heavens, 
are the Lord's : but the earth hath 
he given to tlie children of men. 

17 'The dead praise not the Lord, 
neither any that go down into si- 
lence. 

18 niBut we will bless the Lord 
from this time forth and for ever- 
more. Praise the Lord.

PSALM CXVL 

1 The psalmist professeth his love and duty to 
God for his deliverance. 12 He studieth to be 
ihaniful. 

1=1 LOVE the Lord, because he 
hath heard my voice and my sup- 
plications. 

2 Because he hath inclined his ear 
unto me, therefore will I call upon 
him f as long as I live. 

3 ^The sorrows of death compassed 
me, and the pains of hell f gat hold 
upon me : I fomid trouble and sorrow. 

4 Then called I upon the name of 
the Lord ; O Lord, I beseech thee, 
deliver my soul. 

5 '^ Gracious is the Lord, and ^ right- 
eous ; yea, our God is merciful. 

6 The Lord preserveth the simple : 
I was brought low, and he helped me. 

7 Return unto thy ^rest, O my soul ; 
for fthe Lord hath dealt bountifully 
with thee. 

8 eFor thou hast delivered my soul 
from death, mine eyes from tears, 
and my feet from falling. 

9 I will walk before the Lord ''in 
the land of the living. 

10 'I believed, therefore have I 
spoken : I was greatly afflicted : 

11 1^1 said in my haste, 'All men 
are liars. 

12 What shall I render unto the 
Lord for all his benefits toward me ? 

13 1 will take the cup of salvation, 
and call upon the name of the Lord. 

14 ml -v^^iii pay my vows unto the 
Lord now in the presence of all his 
people. 

15 "Precious in the sight of the 
Lord is the death of his saints. 

16 O Lord, truly °I am thy ser 
vant; I am thy servant, and Pthe 
son of thy handmaid : thou hast 
loosed my bonds. 

17 1 will offer to thee qthe sacrifice 
of thanksgiving, and will call upon 
the name of the Lord. 

18 ""I will pay my vows unto the 
Lord now in the presence of all his 
people, 

19 In tlie s courts of the Lord's 
house, in tlie midst of thee, O Jeru-

PSALM cxvm. 

1 An exhortation to praise God for his mercy. 
5 The psalmiM by his experience sheiceth hoic 
good it is to trust in God. 19 Under the type 
of the psalmist the coming- of Christ in his 
kingdom is expressed, 

O^ GIVE tlianks unto the Lord ; 
for he is good: because his 
mercy endureth for ever. 

2 ''Let Israel now say, that his mer- 
cy endureth for ever. 

3 Let the house of Aaron now say, 
that his mercy endureth for ever. 

4 Let them now that fear the Lord 
say, that his mercy endureth forever. 

5 •= I called upon the Lord f in dis- 
tress: the Lord answered me, and 
*^set me in a large place. 

G « The Lord is ■\ on ray side ; I will 
not fear : what can man do unto me ? 

7 f The Lord taketh my part with 
them that help me : therefore shall 
el see my desire upon them that hate 
me. 

S'^It is better to trust in the Loud 
than to put confidence in man. 

U ' It is better to trust in the Lord 
than to put confidence in princes. 

10 All nations compassed me about: 
but in the name of the Lord will I 
f destroy them. 

1 1 They ^ compassed me about ; yea, 
they compassed me about : but in 
the name of the Lord I will destroy 
them. 

12 They compassed me about Mike 
bees ; they are quenched '" as the 
fire of thorns : for in the name of the 
Lord I will j- destroy them. 

13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that 
I might fall: but the Lord helped me. 

14 "The Lord is my strength and 
song, and is become my salvation. 

15 The voice of rejoicing and salva- 
tions- in the tabernacles of the right- 
eous : the right hand of the Lord 
doeth valiantly. 

16 "The right hand of the Lord is 
exalted : the right hand of the Lord 
doeth valiantly. 

17 P I shall not die, but live, and 
1 declare the works of the Lord. 

18 The Lord hath ""chastened me 
sore : but he hath not given me over 
unto death.

1 The constancy of the Jews in cwpUvUy. 7 The 
prophet curseVi, Edomand Babel. 

BY the rivers of Babylon, there we 
sat down, yea, we wept, when 
we remembered Zion. 

2 We hanged our hai'ps upon the 
willows in the midst thereof. 

3 For there they that carried us a- 
way captive required of us f a song; 
and they that f *! wasted us required 
of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of 
the songs of Zion. 

4 How shall we sing the Lord's 
song in a f strange land ? 

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let 
my right hand forget her cunning. 

6 If I do not remember thee, let 
my ''tongue cleave to the roof of my 
mouth ; if I prefer not Jerusalem 
above f my chief joy. 

7 Remember, O Lord, ''the chil- 
dren of Edom in the day of Jerusa- 
lem; who said, f Rase it, rase it, even 
to the foundation thereof 

8 O daughter of Babylon, "^who art

1 David praiseth God for the truth of his word. 
4 He prophesieth that the kings of the earth 
shall praise God. 7 He professeth his con- 
fidence in God. 

•^ A Psalm of David. 

1WILL praise thee with my whole 
heart : ^ before the gods will I 
sing praise unto thee. 

2 ''I will worship c toward thy holy 
temple, and praise thy name for thy 
loving-kindness and for thy truth: for 
thou hast "i magnified thy word above 
all thy name. 

3 In the day when I cried thou an- 
sweredst me, and strengthenedst me 
with strength in my soul. 

4 e All the kings of the earth shall 
praise thee, O Lord, when they hear 
the words of thy mouth. 

5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways 
of the Lord : for great is the glory 
of the Lord. 

6 f Though the Lord he high, yet 
ehath he respect unto the lowly: but 
the proud he knoweth afar off. 

7 h Though I walk in the midst of 
trouble, thou wilt revive me : thou 
shalt stretch forth thy hand against 
the wrath of mine enemies, and thy 
right hand shall save me. 

8 'The Lord will perfect that which 
concerneth me ; thy mercy, O Lord, 
endureth for ever: ^^ forsake not the

^ To the chief Musician, a Psalm of 
David. 
LORD, =1 thou hast searched me, 
and known me. 
2 ''Thou knowest my down-sitting 
and mine up-rising, thou " understand- 
est my thought afar off". 

3 dThou II compassest my path and 
my lying down, and art acquainted 
loith all my ways. 

4 For there is not a word in my 
tongue, hutlo, O Lord, ^ thou know- 
est it altogether. 

5 Thou hast beset me behind and 
before, and laid thy hand upon me. 

6 ^Such knowledge is too wonder- 
ful for me ; it is high, I cannot at- 
tain unto it. 

642 



David prayetk for sincerity, 

7 g Whither shall I go from thy Spi- 
rit? or whither shall I flee from thy 
presence ? 

8 b If I ascend up into heaven, thou 
art there : ' if I make my bed in hell, 
behold, thou art there. 

y If I take the wings of the morn- 
ing, and dwell in the uttermost parts 
of the sea ; 

10 Even there shall thy hand lead 
me, and thy right hand shall hold 
me. 

1 1 If I say. Surely the darkness shall 
cover me ; even the night shall be 
light about me. 

12 Yea, ''the darkness f hideth not 
from thee ; but the night shineth as 
the day: f the darkness and the 
light are both alike to thee. 

13 For thou hast possessed my 
reins : thou hast covered me in my 
mother's womb. 

14 I will praise thee ; for I am fear- 
fully and wonderfully made : mar- 
vellous are thy works ; and that my 
soul knoweth f right well. 

1 5 ' My II substance was not hid from 
thee, when I was made in secret, anc? 
curiously wrought in the lowest 
parts of tlie earth. 

1 6 Thine eyes did see my substance, 
yet being unperfect; and in thy book 
•f zWmy members wevewr\iien,\\wMch 
in continuance were fashioned, when 
as yet there ivas none of them. 

17 ""How precious also are thy 
thoughts unto me, O God ! how great 
is the sum of them ! 

18 If I should count them, they are 
more in number than the sand : when 
I awake, I am still with thee. 

19 Surely thou wih °slay the wick- 
ed, O God : "depart from me there- 
fore, ye bloody men. 

20 For they p speak against thee 
wickedly, and thine enemies take 
thy name in vain. 

21 q Do not I hate them, O Lord, 
that hate thee? and am not I grieved 
with those that rise up against thee ? 

22 I hate them with perfect hatred : 
1 count them mine enemies. 

23 ■■ Search me, O God, and know

6 *"! stretch forth my hands unto

7 Hear me speedily, O Lord : my

go down into the pit. 

8 Cause me to hear thy loving-kind-

I trust : k cause me to know the way

9 Deliver me, O Lord, from mine

PSALM CXLIV. 

1 David hlesseth God for his mercy both to him 
and to man. 5 He prayeth that God would pow- 
erfully deliver him from his enemies. 9 He pro- 
nliseth to praise God. II He prayeth for the 
happy state of the kingdom. 

IF A Psalm of David. 

BLESSED be the Lord f my 
strength, ^ which teacheth my 
hands ] to war, and my fingers to 
fight ;

David blesseth God for his protection 

2^\\ My goodness, and my fortress : 
my high tower, and my deliverer ; 
my shield, and he in whom I trust ; 
who subduethmy people under me. 

3 <=LoRD, what is man, that thou 
takest knowledge of him ! or the son 
of man, that thou makest account of 
him ! 

4 "^Man is like to vanity: ^his days 
are as a shadow that passeth away. 

5 ffiow thy heavens, O Lord, and 
come down : ? touch the mountains, 
and they shall smoke. 

6 1^ Cast forth lightning, and scat- 
ter them : shoot out thine aiTOWS, 
and destroy them. 

7 ' Send thy f hand from above ; 
^rid me, and deliver me out of great 
waters, from the hand of ' strange 
children ; 

8 Whose mouth "speaketh vanity, 
and their right hand is a right hand 
of falsehood. 

9 I will "sing a new song unto 
thee, O God : upon a psalterj' and 
an instrument of ten strings will I 
sing praises unto thee. 

10 °Jt is he that giveth || salvation 
unto kings : who delivereth David 
his servant from the hurtful sword. 

11 pRid me, and deliver me from 
the hand of strange children, whose 
mouth speaketh vanity, and their 
right hand is a right hand of false- 
hood : 

12 That our sons may be "las plants 
grown up in their youth ; that our 
daughters may be as corner-stones, 
t polished after the similitude of a 
palace : 

13 That our garners 7nay be full, 
affording f all manner of store ; that 
our sheep may bring forth thousands 
and ten thousands in our streets: 

14 That our oxen may be f strong 
to labour ; that there be no breaking 
in, nor going out ; that there be no 
complaining in our streets. 

15 ■'Happy is that people, that is 
in such a case : yea, happy is that 
people, whose God is the Lord.

PSALM CXLVI. 

1 The psalmist voioeih perpetual praises to God. 
3 He exhorteth not to trust in man. 5 God, for 
his power, justice, mercy, and kingdom, is only 
worthy to be trusted.

2 b While I live will I praise the 
Lord : I will sing praises unto my 
God while I have any being. 

3 '=Put not your trust in princes 
nor in the son of man, in whom there 
is no II help. 

4 <^His breath goeth forth, he re- 
turneth to his earth ; in that very day 
^his thoughts perish. 

5 ^Happy is he that hath the God 
of Jacob for his help, whose hope is 
in the Lord his God : 

6 g Which made heaven, and earth, 
the sea, and all that therein is: which 
keepeth truth for ever : 

7 ''Which executeth judgment for 
the oppressed : 'which giveth food 
to the hungry. "^The Lord looseth 
the prisoners : 

8 ^The Lord openeth the eyes of 
the blind : ™ the Lord raiseth them 
that are bowed down : the Lord lov- 
eth the righteous : 

9 "The Lord preserveth the stran- 
gers ; he relieveth the fatherless and 
widow : °but the way of the wicked 
he turneth upside down. 

10 pThe Lord shall reign for ever, 
even thy God, O Zion, unto all ge- 
nerations. Praise ye the Lord.

she uttereth her voice in the streets : 

21 She crieth in the chief place of 
concourse, in the openings of the 
gates: in the city she uttereth her 
words, saying, 

22 How long, ye simple ones, will 
ye love simplicity? and the scorners 
delight in their scorning, and fools 
hate knowledge ? 

23 Turn you at my reproof : behold, 
"■J will pour out my spirit unto you, I

24 •[[ s Because I have called and

1 Wisdom promiseth godliness to her children, 10 
aiid safety from evil company, 20 and direction 
wd ways. 

Y son, if thou wilt receive my 
words, and ^hide my com- 
mandments with thee ; 

2 So that thou incline thine ear un- 
to wisdom, and apply thy heart to 
understanding ; 

3 Yea, if thou criest after know- 
ledge, and fliftest up thy voice for 
understanding ; 

4 i" If thou seekest her as silver, and 
searchest for her as/or hid treasures ; 

5 Then shalt thou understand the 
fear of the Lord, and find the know- 
ledge of God. 

6 '^For the Lord giveth wisdom : 
out of his mouth cometh knowledge 
and understanding. 

7 He layeth up sound wisdom for 
the righteous : ^ he is a buckler to 
them that walk uprightly. 

8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, 
and e preserveth the way of his saints. 

9 Then shalt thou understand right- 
eousness, and judgment, and equity ; 
yea, every good path. 

10 TI When wisdom entereth into 
thy heart, and knowledge is pleasant 
unto thy soul; 

11 Discretion shall preserve thee, 
f understanding shall keep thee: 

12 To deliver thee from the way of 
the evil man, from the man that 
speaketh froward things ; 

13 Who leave the paths of upright- 
ness,to g walk in the ways of darkness ; 

14 Who ''rejoice to do evil, and 
'delight in the frowardness of the 
wicked ; 

151^ Whose ways are crooked, and 
they froward in their paths : 

16 To deliver thee from 'the strange 
woman, "^even from the stranger 
which flattereth with her words ;

her youth, and forgetteth the cove- 
nant of her God.

The benefit of wisdom. 

15 She is more precious than ru- 
bies : and * all the things thou canst 
desire are not to be compared unto 
her. 

16 "Length of days is in her right 
hand ; and in her left hand riches and 
honour. 

17 ^Her ways are ways of pleasant- 
ness, and all her paths are peace. 

18 She is va. tree of life to them 
that lay hold, upon her : and happy 
is eve7-y one that retaineth her. 

19 ^The Lord by wisdom hath 
founded the earth ; by understanding 
hath he || established the heavens. 

20 ^By his knowledge the depths 
are broken up, and ^the clouds drop 
down the dew. 

21 *IIMy son, let not them depart 
from thine eyes : keep sound wisdom 
and discretion : 

22 So shall they be life unto thy 
soul, and =grace to thy neck. 

23 ^Then shalt thou walk in thy 
way safely, and thy foot shall not 
stumble. 

24 ''When thou liest down, thou 
shalt not be afraid : yea, thou shalt 
lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. 

25 f^Be not afraid of sudden fear, 
neither of the desolation of the wick- 
ed, when it cometh. 

26 For the Lord shall be thy con- 
fidence, and shall keep thy foot from 
being taken. 

27 TfsWithhold not good from 
t them to whom it is due, when it is 
in the power of thy hand to do it. 

28 ''Say not unto thy neighbour, 
Go, and come again, and to-morrow 
I will give ; when thou hast it by thee. 

29 II Devise not evil against thy 
neighbour, seeing he dwelleth se- 
curely by thee. 

30 II ' Strive not with a man with- 
out cause, if he have done thee no 
harm. 

31 Tfi^Envy thou not fthe oppres- 
sor, and choose none of his ways. 

32 For the froward is abomination 
to the Lord : 'but his secret is with 
the righteous. 

33 H "The curse of the Lord is in 
the house of the wicked: but "he 
blesseth the habitation of the just. 

34 ° Surely he scorneth the scomers : 
but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

1 Solomon, to persuade obedience, 3 skeweth tohat 
instruction he had of his parents, 5 to study wis- 
dom, 14 and to shun the path of the wicked. 20 
He exhorteth to faith, 23 and sanctification. 

TEAR, 1 ye children, the instruc- 
tion of a father, and attend to 
know understanding. 

2 For I give you good doctrine, for- 
sake ye not my law. 

3 For I was my father's son, ^ ten- 
der and only beloved in the sight of 
my mother. 

4 ''He taught me also, and said 
unto me, Let thy heart retain my 
words: ^^keep my commandments, 
and live. 

5 <=Getwisdom, get understanding 
forget it not; neither decline from 
the words of my mouth. 

6 Forsake her not, and she shall 
preserve thee : f love her, and she 
shall keep thee. 

7 g Wisdom is the principal thing; 
therefoi'e get wisdom : and with all 
thy getting get understanding. 

8 h Exalt her, and she shall pro- 
mote thee: she shall bring thee to 
honour, when thou dost embrace her. 

9 She shall give to thy head ' an 
ornament of grace : || a crown of 
glory shall she deliver to thee. 

10 Hear, O my son, and receive 
my sayings ; ^ and the years of thy 
life shall be many. 

Ill have taught thee in the way 
of wisdom ; I have led thee in right 
paths. 

12 When thou goest, 'thy steps 
shall not be straitened ; ™ and when 
thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. 

13 Take fast hold of instruction; 
let her not go : keep her; for she is 
thy life. 

14 1" Enter not into the path of 
the wicked, and go not in the way of 
evil men. 

15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn 
from it, and pass away. 

16 °For they sleep not, except they 
have done mischief; and their sleep 
is taken away, unless they cause .?07rae 
to fall.

17 q The merciful man doeth good 
to his own soul : but he that is cruel 
troubleth his own flesh. 

18 The wicked worketh a deceitful 
work: but ''to him that soweth right- 
eousness sltall he a sure reward. 

19 As righteousness tendeth to life : 
so he that pursueth evil pursueth it 
to his own death. 

20 They that are of a froward heart 
are abomination to the Lord : but 
such as are upright in their way ai-e 
his delight. 

21 ^Though hand joi7i in hand, the 
wicked shall not be unpunished: but 
'the seed of the righteous shall be 
delivered. 

22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's

23 The desire of the righteous is

3 ''The eyes of the Lord are in 
every place, beholding the evil and 
the good. 

4 t A wholesome tongue is a tree of 
life : but perverseness therein is a 
breach in the spirit. 

5 '^A fool despiseth his father's in- 
struction : f but he that regardeth re- 
proof is prudent. 

6 In the house of the righteous is 
much treasure : but in the revenues 
of the wicked is trouble. 

7 The lips of the wise disperse know- 
ledge : but the heart of the foolish 
doetJi not so. 

8 sThe sacrifice of the wicked is an 
abomination to the Lord : but the 
prayer of the upright is his delight. 

9 The way of the wicked is an abo- 
mination unto the Lord ; but he lov- 
eth him that iifolloweth after right- 
eousness. 

10 II Correction is 'grievous unto 
him that forsaketh the way : and '^he 
that hateth reproof shall die. 

11 'Hell and destruction are before 
the Lord : how much more then 
'"the hearts of the children of men? 

12 "A scorner loveth not one that 
reproveth him : neither will he go un- 
to the wise. 

13 "A merry heart maketh a cheer- 
ful countenance : but P by sorrow of 
the heart the spirit is broken. 

14 The heart of him that hath under- 
standing seeketh knowledge : but the 
mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness. 

15 All the days of the afflicted are 
evil : qbut he that is of a merry heart 
hath a continual feast. 

16 r Better is little with the fear of 
the Lord, than great treasure and 
trouble therewith. 

17 s Better is a dinner of herbs 
where love is, than a stalled ox and 
hatred therewith. 

18 tA wrathful man stirre'th up 
strife : but he that is slow to anger 
appeaseth strife. 

19 "The way of the slothful man is 
as a hedge of thorns: but the way 
of the righteous f is made plain. 

20 ^ A wise son maketh a glad fa- 
ther : but a foolish man despiseth his 
mother. 

21 y Folly is joy to him that is f de- 
stitute of wisdom: ^but a man of 
understanding walketh uprightly.

disappointed : but in the multitude 
of counsellors they are established. 

23 A man hath joy by the answer of 
his mouth : and ^ a word spoken f in 
due season, how good is it ! 

24 <^The way of life is above to the 
wise, that he may depart from hell 
beneath. 

25 <iThe Lord will destroy the 
house of the proud : but ^he will es- 
tablish the border of the widow. 

26 f The thoughts of the wicked are 
an abomination to the Lord : ebut 
the words of the pure are f pleasant 
words. 

27 ''He that is greedy of gain trou- 
bleth his own house ; but he that 
hatetii gifts shall live. 

28 The heart of the righteous 'stu- 
dieth to answer : but the mouth of 
the wicked poureth out evil things. 

29 i^The Lord is far from the 
wicked : but 'he heareth the prayer 
of the righteous. 

30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth 
the heart : and a good report maketh 
the bones fat. 

31 '"The ear that heareth the re- 
proof of life abideth among the wise. 

32 He that refuseth || instruction 
despiseth his own soul : but he that 
II heareth reproof f getteth under-

^ before he heareth it, it is folly and

14 The spirit of a man will sustain 
his infirmity; but a wounded spirit

15 The heart of the prudent getteth

18 The lot causeth contentions

19 A brother offended is harder to 
he won than a strong city ; and their 
contentions are like the bars of a

7 e All the brethren of the poor do 
hate him : how much more do his

wanting to him. 

8 He that getteth f wisdom loveth

ful man who can find ? 

7 ''The just man walketh in his

9 "Who can say, I have made my

10 ° f Divers weights, and f divers

doings, whether his work be pure, 
and whether it be right. 

12 iThe hearing ear, and the see-

13 ^ Love not sleep, lest thou come

14 It is naught, it is naught, saith

away as an eagle toward heaven. 

6 ^Eat thou not the bread of him 
that hath '^ an evil eye, neither desire 
thou his dainty meats: 

7 For as he thinketh in his heart, 
so is he : Eat and drink, <= saith he to 
thee ; but his heart is not with thee. 

8 The morsel which thou hast eaten 
shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy

9 f Speak not in the ears of a fool:

causes of quarrels, and sundry causes thereof. 

'^f B^HESEare also proverbs of So- 
A lomon, which the men of He- 
zekiah king of Judah copied out. 

2 ^It is the glory of God to conceal 
a thing : but the honour of kings is 
c to search out a matter. 

3 The heaven for height, and the 
earth for depth, and the heart of kings 
f is unsearchable. 

4 d Take away the dross from the 
silver, and there shall come forth a 
vessel for the finer. 

5 ^Take away the wicked/rom be- 
fore the king, and ^his throne shall 
be established in righteousness. 

6 f Put not forth thyself in the pre- 
sence of the king, and stand not in 
the place of great men: 

7 g For better it is that it be said 
unto thee. Come up hither ; than 
that thou shouldest be put lower in 
the presence of the prince whom 
thine eyes have seen. 

8 I'Go not forth hastily to strive, 
lest thou know not what to do in the 
end thereof, when thy neighbour hath 
put thee to shaine, 

9 ' Debate thy cause with thy neigh- 
bour himself; and || discover not a 
secret to another : 

10 Lest he that heareth it put thee 
to shame, and thine infamy turn not 
away. 

1 1 "^ A word f fitly spoken is like 
apples of gold in pictures of silver. 

12 ^s an ear-ring of gold, and an 
ornament of fine gold, so is a wise 
reprover upon an obedient ear. 

1 3^ As the cold of snow in the time 
of harvest, so is a faithful messenger 
to them that send him : for he re- 
fresheth the soul of his masters. 

14 "^ Whoso boasteth himself'fof a

1 Observations of self-love, 5 of true love, 11 of 
care to avoid offences, 23 and of the household 
care. 

BOAST 'inot thyself of f to-mor- 
row ; for thou knowest not what 
a day may bring forth. 

2 i^Let anotherman praise thee, and 
not thine own mouth ; a stranger, and 
not thine own hps. 

3 A stone is f heavy, and the sand 
weighty ; but a fool's wrath is hea- 
vier than them both. 

4 f Wrath is cruel, and anger is 
outrageous ; but <= who is able to stand 
before || envy ? 

5 ^ Open rebuke is better than se- 
cret love. 

6 ^ Faithful are the wounds of a 
friend ; but the kisses of an enemy 
are 1| deceitful. 

7 The full soul | loatheth a honey- 
comb ; but f to the hungry soul eveiy 
bitter thing is sweet. 

8 As a bird that wandereth from her 
nest, so is a man that wandereth 
from his place. 

9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the 
heart: so doth the sweetness of a 
man's friend f by hearty counsel. 

10 Thine own friend, and thy fa- 
ther's friend, forsake not; neither go 
into thy brother's house in the day 
of thy calamity : for sbetter is a 
neighbour i/iai is near, than a brother 
far off. 

1 1 I'My son, be wise, and make my 
heart glad, Uhat I may answer liim 
that reproacheth me. 

12 k A prudent man foreseeth the 
evil, and hideth himself; hut the 
simple pass on, and are punished. 

13 ^ Take his garment that is surety 
for a stranger, and take a pledge of 
him for a strange woman. 

14 He that blesseth his friend with 
aloud voice, rising early in the morn- 
ing, it shall be counted a curse to him. 

1 5 ™ A continual dropping in a very 
rainy day and a contentious woman 
are alike. 

16 Whosoever hideth her, hideth the 
wind, and the ointment of his right 
hand which bewrayeth itself. 

17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man 
sharpeneth the countenance of his 
friend.

righteous shall see their fall.

give thee rest ; yea, he shall give de-

eth the law, happy is he.

by words : for though he understand 
he will not answer. 

20 Seest thou a man that is hasty 
]| in his words ? y there is more hope 
of a fool than of him. 

21 He that delicately bringeth up 
his servant from a child shall have 
him become his son at the length.

and a furious man aboundeth in trans- 
gression. 

23 ^ A man's pride shall bring him 
low : but honour shall uphold the 
humble in spirit. 

24 Whoso is partner with a thief, 
hateth his own soul : ^he heareth 
cursing, and bewrayeth it not. 

25 <=The fear of man bringeth a 
snare : but whoso putteth his trust

26 ^ Many seek f the ruler's favour ; 
but every man's judgment comcth 
from the Lord.

Lemuel's hsson of chastity. CHAP. 

20 Such is the way of an aduUerous 
woman ; she eateth, and wipeth her 
mouth, and saith, I have done no 
wickedness. 

2 1 For three things the earth is dis- 
quieted, and for four which it cannot 
bear: 

22 qFor a servant when he reign- 
eth ; and a fool when he is filled with 
meat ; 

23 For an odious woman when she 
is married ; and a handmaid that is 
heir to her mistress. 

24 There be four things which are 
little upon the earth, but they are 
■j- exceeding wise : 

25 ""The ants are a people not 
strong, yet they prepare their meat 
in the summer; 

26 ^The conies are hut a feeble folk, 
yet make they their houses in the 
rocks ; 

27 The locusts have no king, yet go 
they forth all of them f by bands; 

28 The spider taketh hold with her 
hands, and is in kings' palaces. 

29 There be three things which go 
well, yea, four are comely in going : 

30 A lion, which is strongest among 
beasts, and turneth not away for any; 

31 A II t greyhound ; a he-goat also ; 
and a kins, against whom there is no 
rising up. 

32 If thou hast done foolishly in 
lifting up thyself, or if thou hast 
thought evil, ^lay thy hand upon 
thy mouth. 

33 Surely the churning of milk 
bringeth forth butter, and the wring- 
ing of the nose bringeth forth blood: 
so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth 
strife.

CHAP. I. 

1 The preacher sheicefh thai all human courses 
are vain : 4 because the creatures are restless in 
their courses, 9 ihei/ bring forth nothing new 
and all old things are forgotten, 12 and because 
he hath found it so in the studies of wisdom. 

THE words ^ of the Preacher, the 
son of David, king of Jerusalem. 

2 i> Vanity of vanities, saith the 
Preacher, vanity of vanities ; <=all is 
vanity. 

3 '^What profit hath a man of all 
his labour which he taketh under the 
sun ? 

4 One generation passeth away, and 
another generation cometh : «=but the 
earth abideth for ever. 

5 fThe sun also ariseth, and the 
sun goeth down, and f hasteth to his 
place where he arose. 

6 s The wind goeth toward the south, 
and turneth about unto the north ; it 
whirleth about continually, and the 
wind returneth again according to his 
circuits. 

7 h AH the rivers run into the sea ; 
yet the sea is not full : unto the 
place from whence the rivers come, 
thither they f return again. 

8 All things are full of labour ; man 
cannot utter it : ' the eye is not satis- 
fied with seeing, nor the ear filled 
with hearing. 

9 ''The thing that hath been, it is 
that which shall be ; and that which 
is done is that which shall be done : 
and there is no new thing under the 
sun. 

10 Is there any thing whereof it 
may be said, See, this is new ? it hath 
been already of old time, which was 
before us. 

11 There is no remembrance of 
former things; neither shall there be 
any remembrance of things that are 
to come with those that shall come 
after.

12 "ff 'I the Preacher was king over 
Israel in Jerusalem. 

13 And I gave my heart to seek and 
search out by wisdom concerning all 
things that are done under heaven : 
•"this sore travail hath God given 
to the sons of man || to be exercised 
therewith. 

14 I have seen all the works that 
are done under the sun ; and behold, 
all is vanity and vexation of spirit. 

15" That which is crooked cannot 
be made straight : and f that which 
is wanting cannot be numbered. 

16 I communed with mine own 
heart, saying, Lo, I am come to 
great estate, and have gotten °more 
wisdom than all they that have been 
beforemein Jerusalem: yea, my heart 
f had great experience of wisdom and 
knowledge. 

17 PAnd I gave my heart to know 
wisdom, and to know madness and 
folly: I perceived that this also is 
vexation of spirit. 

18 For qin much wisdom is much 
grief : and he that increaseth know- 
ledge increaseth sorrow. 

CHAP. II. 

1 TVie vanity of human courses in the irorlcs of

human labour, in leaving it they know not to

bour ; but that is God's gift. 

SAID in my heart. Go to now, 
I will prove thee with mirth; 
therefore enjoy pleasure : and behold, 
^ this also is vanity. 

2 <^I said of laughter, It is mad : 
and of mirth. What doeth it ? 

3^1 sought in my heart f to give 
myself unto wine, yet acquainting 
my heart with wisdom; and to lay 
hold on folly, till I might see what 
was that good for the sons of men, 
which they should do under the hea- 
ven tall the days of their life. 
672 



The vanity oj pleasure, 

4 I made me great works ; I build- 
ed me houses ; I planted me vine- 
yards : 

5 1 made me gardens and orchards, 
and I planted trees in them of all 
kind of fruits : 

6 I made me pools of water, to wa- 
ter therewith the wood that bringeth 
forth trees : 

7 I got me servants and maidens, 
and had f servants born in my house ; 
also I had great possessions of great 
and small cattle above all that were 
in Jerusalem before me ; 

8 ^I gathered me also silver and 
gold, and the peculiar treasure of 
kings, and of the provinces: I gat 
me men-singers and women-singers, 
and the delights of the sons of men, 
as f musical instruments, and that of 
all sorts. 

9 So '1 was great, and increased 
more than all that were before me in 
Jerusalem : also my wisdom remain- 
ed with me. 

10 And whatsoever mine eyes de- 
sired I kept not from them, I with- 
held not my heart from any joy ; for 
my heart rejoiced in all my labour: 
and ethis was my portion of all my 
labour. 

11 Then I looked on all the works 
that my hands had wrought, and on 
the labour that 1 had laboured to do: 
and behold, all was *• vanity and vex- 
ation of spirit, and there was no pro- 
fit under the sun. 

12 TI And I turned myself to behold 
wisdom, ' and madness, and folly : for 
what can the man do that cometh 
after the king? \\even that which hath 
been already done. 

13 Then I saw f that wisdom ex- 
celleth folly, as far as light excelleth 
darkness. 

14 ''The wise man's eyes are in his 
head ; but the fool walketh in dark- 
ness : and I myself perceived also that 
'one event happeneth to them all. 

15 Then said I in my heart, As it 
happeneth to the fool, so it -j- hap- 
peneth even to me ; and why was I 
then more wise? Then I said in my 
heart, that this also is vanity. 

16 For there is no remembrance of 
the wise more than of the fool for 
ever ; seeing that which now is in 
the days to come shall all be forgot-

ten. And how dieth the wise man? 
as the fool. 

17 Therefore I hated life; because 
the work that is wrought under the 
sun is grievous unto me : for all is 
vanity and vexation of spirit. 

18 "If Yea, I hated all my labour 
which I had | taken under the sun: 
because ™I should leave it unto the 
man that shall be after me. 

19 And who knoweth whether he 
shall be a wise man or a fool ? yet 
shall he have rule over all my laboui 
wherein I have laboured, and where- 
in I have shewed myself wise under 
the sun. This is also vanity. 

20 Therefore I went about to cause 
my heart to despair of all the labour 
which I took under the sun. 

21 For there is a man whose labour 
/.<; in wisdom, and in knowledge, and 
in equity; yet to a man that hath 
not laboured therein shall he f leave 
it /or his portion. This also is vanity 
and a great evil. 

22 "For what hath man of all his 
labour, and of the vexation of his 
heart, wherein he hath laboured un- 
der the sun ? 

23 For all his days are ° sorrows, 
and his travail grief; yea, his heart 
taketh not rest in the night. This is 
also vanity. 

24 TI P There is nothing better for 
a man than tliat he should eat and 
drink, and that he || should make his 
soul enjoy good in his labour. This 
also I saw, that it was from the hand 
of God. 

25 For A\ho can eat, or who else 
can hasten hereunto more than I? 

26 For God giveth to a man that 
is good I in his sight, wisdom, and 
knowledge, and joy: but to the sin- 
ner he giveth travail, to gather and to 
heap up, that nhe may give to him 
that is good before God. This also 
is vanity and vexation of spirit. 

CHAP. HI. 

1 By the necessary cJinnze of times, vnnity h added 
to human travail. 11 There is an i:rcillency in 
God'K icurks. 1 U But asfor man,(j'jil slutll judge 
his irnrks there, and here he shall be like a beast. 

TO every thing there is a season, 
and a ^ time to every purpose un- 
der the heaven : 

2 A time fto be born, and ''a time 
to die ; a time to plant, and a time 
to pluck up that which is planted ; 
673 



A season for every tiling. EC 

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; 
a time to break down, and a time to 
build up ; 

4 A time to weep, and a time to 
laugh ; a time to mourn, and a time 
to dance ; 

5 A time to cast away stones, and a 
time to gather stones together ; a time 
to embrace, and <=a time fto refrain 
from embracing ; 

6 A time to ||get, and a time to 
lose ; a time to keep, and a time to 
cast away ; 

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew ; 
•J a time to keep silence, and a time 
to speak ; 

8 A time to love, and a time to 
*^hate ; a time of war, and a time of 
peace. 

9 nVhat profit hath he that work- 
eth in that wherein he laboureth ? 

10 s\ have seen the travail, which 
God hath given to the sons of men 
to be exercised in it. 

1 1 He hath made every thing beau- 
tiful in his time : also he hath set the 
world in their heart, so that ''no man 
can find out the work that God mak- 
eth from the beginning to the end. 

12 ' I know that there is no good 
in them, but for a man to rejoice, 
and to do good in his life. 

13 And also "^^that every man should 
eat and drink, and enjoy the good of 
all his labour ; it is the gift of God. 

14 I know that, whatsoever God 
doeth, it shall be for ever : ' nothing 
can be put to it, nor any thing taken 
from it : and God doeth it, that men 
should fear before him. 

IS'" That which hath been is now ; 
and that which is to be hath already 
been; and God requireth f that which 
is past. 

16 TI And moreover "I saw under 
the sun the place of judgment, that 
wickedness ims there ; and the place 
of righteousness, that iniquity was 
there. 

17 I said in my heart, "God shall 
judge the righteous and the wicked: 
for there is Pa time there for everj- 
purpose and for every work. 

18 I said in my heart concerning 
the estate of the sons of men, |1 that 
God might manifest them, and that 
they might see that they themselves 
are beasts.

dieth, so dieth the other ; yea, they 
have all one breath ; so that a man 
hath no pre-eminence above a beast: 
for all is vanity.

21 «Who knoweth the spirit f of

22 t^ Wherefore I perceive tha.tthere

" that is liis portion : ^ for who shall

CHAP. IV. 

1 Vanily is increased unto men by oppression, 4 
by envy, 5 by idleness, 7 by covctousness, 9 by 
solitariness, 13 by wilfulness. 

SO I returned, and considered all 
the =1 oppressions that are done 
under the sun : and behold the tears 
of such as were oppressed, and they 
had no comfoi'ter; and on the fside 
of their oppressors there was power; 
but they had no comforter. 

2 ^ Wherefore I praised the dead 
which are already dead more than the 
living which are yet alive. 

3 <= Yea, better is he than both they, 
which hath not yet been, who hath 
not seen the evil work that is done 
mider the sun. 

4 ■[[ Again, I considered all travail, 
and ] evei-y right work, that f for this 
a man is envied of his neighbour. 
This is also vanity and vexation of 
spirit. 

5 ^The fool foldeth his hands to- 
gether, and eateth his own flesh. 

6 <= Better is a handful with quiet- 
ness, than both the hands full with 
travail and vexation of spirit. 

7 TI Then I returned, and I saw va- 
nity under the sun. 

8 There is one alone, and there is 
not a second ; yea, he hath neither 
child nor brother: yet is there no end 
of all his labour ; neither is his ^eye 
satisfied with riches: e neither saith 
he, For whom do I labour, and be- 
reave my soul of good ? This is also 
vanit}', yea, it is a sore travail.

cause they have a good reward for 
their labour. 

10 For if they fall, the one will lift 
up his fellow : but wo to him that 
IS alone when he falleth ; for he hath 
not another to help him up. 

1 1 Again, if two lie together, then 
they have heat : but how can one be 
warm alone? 

12 And if one prevail against him, 
two shall withstand him; and a three- 
fold cord is not quickly broken. 

13 H Better is a poor and a wise 
child, than an old and foolish king, 
t who will no more be admonished. 

14 For out of prison he cometh to 
reign ; whereas also he that is bom 
in his kingdom becometh poor. 

15 I considered all the Uving which 
walk under the sun, with the se- 
cond child that shall stand up in liis 
stead. 

16 TJiere is no end of all the peo- 
ple, even of all that have been before 
them : they also that come after shall 
not rejoice in him. Surely this also 
is vanity and vexation of spirit. 

CHAP. V. 

1 Vanities in divine serviee, 8 in murmurin^ 
against oppression, 9 and in riches. 18 Joy 
in riches is the gift of God. 

KEEP a thy toot when thou goest 
to the house of God, and be 
more ready to hear, ''than to give the 
sacrifice of fools: for they consider 
not that they do evil. 

2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and 
let not thy heart be hast>' to utter 
any \\ thing before God : for God is 
in heaven, and thou upon earth : 
therefore let thy words '^ be few. 

3 For a dream cometh through 
the multitude of business ; and <* a 
fool's voice is known by multitude of 
words. 

4 e When thou vowest a vow unto 
God, defer not to pay it; for he hath 
no pleasure in fools: ''pay that which 
thou hast vowed. 

5 g Better is it that thou shouldest 
not vow, than that thou shouldest 
vow and not pay. 

6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy

The vanity of riches. 

and many words there are also divers 
vanities : but 'fear thou God. 

8 II If thou ^ seest the oppression 
of the poor, and violent pervertbg of 
judgment and justice in a province, 
marvel not f at the matter : for i he 
that is higher than the highest re- 
gardeth ; and there be higher than 
they. 

9 II Moreover, the profit of the earth 
is for all : the king himself is served 
by tlie field. 

10 He that loveth silver shall not 
be satisfied with silver ; nor he that 
loveth abundance with increase: this 
is also vanity. 

1 1 When goods increase, they are 
increased that eat them : and what 
good is there to the owners thereof, 
saving the beholding of them with 
their eyes ? 

12 The sleep of a labouring man is 
sweet, whether he eat little or much: 
but the abundance of the rich will 
not suffer him to sleep. 

13 ""There is a sore evil which I 
have seen under the sun, namely, 
riches kept for the owners thereof to 
their hurt. 

14 But those riches perish by evil 
travail : and he begetteth a son, and 
there is nothing in his hand. 

15 "Ashe came forth of his mo- 
ther's womb, naked shall he return 
to go as he came, and shall take no- 
thing of his labour, which he may 
carry away in his hand. 

16 And this also is a sore evil, that 
in all points as he came, so shall he 
go : and " what profit hath he P that 
hath laboured for the wind ? 

17 All his days also <i he eateth in 
darkness, and he hath much sorrow 
and wrath with his sickness. 

18 IT Behold ^//a< which I have seen: 
■■fiV is good and comely for one to 
eat and to drink, and to enjoy the 
good of all his labour that he taketh 
under the sun f all the days of his 
life, which God giveth him : » for it 
is his portion. 

19 t Every man also to whom God 
hath given riches and wealth, and 
hath given him power to eat thereof, 
and to take his portion, and to rejoice 
in his labour; this is the gift ot 
God. 

20 II For he shall not much remem- 

675 



s^npHERE is an evil which I have 
H seen under the sun, and it is 
common among men : 

2 A man to whom God hath given 
riches, wealth, and honour, ^ so that 
he wanteth nothing for his soul of all 
that he desireth, '^yet God giveth 
him not power to eat thereof, but a 
stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and 
it is an evil disease. 

3 ^If a man beget a hundred chil- 
dren, and live many years, so that the 
daj's of his years be many, and his 
soul be not filled with good, and <^ also 
that he have no burial ; I say, that 
« an untimely birth is better than he. 

4 For he cometh in with vanity, and 
departeth in darkness, and his name 
shall be covered with darkness. 

5 Moreover he hath not seen the 
sun, nor known any thing: this hath 
more rest than the other. 

6 ^ Yea, though he live a thousand 
years twice told, yet hath he seen no 
good : do not all go to one place ? 

7 ^AU the labour of man is for his 
mouth, and yet the -j- appetite is not 
filled. 

8 For what hath the wise more than 
the fool 1 what hath the poor, that 
knoweth to walk before the living ? 

9 11 Better is the sight of the eyes 
•f- than the Vv^andering of the desire : 
this is also vanity and vexation of 
spirit. 

10 That whichhath been is named 
already, and it is known that it is 
man : g neither may he contend with 
him that is mightier than he. 

111^ Seeing there be many things 
that increase vanity, what is man the 
better? 

12 For who knoweth what is good 
for man in this life, f all the days of 
his vain life which he spendeth as ^ a 
shadow? for "who can tell a man 
what shall be after him under the 
sun ?

conclusion of vanities. 



Of a good name, mortification, 

a^GOOD name is better than 

precious ointment ; and the day 

of death than the day of one's birth. 

2 ^ It is better to go to the house 
of mourning, than to go to the house 
of feasting: for that is the end of all 
men ; and the living will lay it to his 
heart. 

3 II Sorrow is better than laughter: 
^ for by the sadness of the counte- 
nance the heart is made better. 

4 The heart of the wise is in the 
house of mourning; but the heart of 
fools is in the house of mirth. 

b ^It is better to hear the rebuke of 
the wise, than for a man to hear the 
song of fools : 

6 ^For as the f crackling of thorns 
under a pot, so is the laughter of the 
fool : this also is vanity. 

7 ^ Surely oppression maketh a wise 
man mad; ^ and a gift destroyeth 
the heart. 

8 Better is the end of a thing than 
the beginning thereof : and ^the pa- 
tient in spirit is better than the proud 
in spirit. 

9 g^Be not hasty in thy spirit to be 
angry : for anger resteth in the bosom 
of fools. 

10 Say not thou, What is the cause 
that the former days were better than 
these ? for thou dost not inquire 
f wisely concerning this. 

1 1 TI Wisdom II is good with an in- 
heritance : and hy it there is profit 
''to them that see the sun. 

12 For wisdom is a f defence, and 
money is a defence : but the excel- 
lency of luiowledge is, that wisdom 
giveth life to them that have it. 

13 Consider the work of God: for 
iwho can make that straight, which 
he hath made crooked? 

14 1' In the day of prosperity be joy- 
ful, but in the day of adversity con- 
sider : God also hath j- set the one 
over against the other, to the end 
that man should find nothing after 
him. 

1 5 All things have I seen in the days 
of my vanity: khere is a just man 
that perisheth in his righteousness, 
and there is a wicked man that pro- 
longeth his life in his wickedness. 

1 6 "1 Be not righteous over much ; 
" neither make thyself over wise : why 
shouldest thou f destroy thyself? 

676 



patience, and wisdom. 

17 Be not over much wicked, nei- 
ther be thou fooHsh: °why shouldest 
thou die f before thy time ? 

18 It is good that thou shouldest 
take hold of this ; yea, also from this 
withdraw not thy hand : for he that 
feareth God shall come forth of them 
all. 

19 P Wisdom strengtheneth the wise 
more than ten mighty men which are 
in the city. 

20 iFor there is not a just man 
upon earth, that doeth good, and sin- 
neth not. 

21 Also f take no heed unto all 
words that are spoken ; lest thou hear 
thy servant curse thee : 

22 For oftentimes also thine own 
heart knoweth that thou thyself like- 
wise hast cursed others. 

23 Tf All this have I proved by wis- 
dom: rl said, I will be wise ; but it 
was far from me. 

24 ^That which is far off, and * ex- 
ceeding deep, who can find it out? 

25 f "I applied my heart to know, 
and to search, and to seek out wis- 
dom, and the reason of things, and to 
know the wickedness of folly, even of 
foolishness and madness: 

26 "And I find more bitter than 
death the woman whose heart is 
snares and nets, and her hands as 
bands : f whoso pleaseth God shall 
escape from her; but the sinner shall 
be taken by her. 

27 Behold, this have I found, saith 
y the Preacher, || counting one by one, 
to find out the account; 

28 Which yet my soul seeketh, 
but I find not: ^one man among a 
thousand have I found; but a wo- 
man among all those have I not 
found. 

29 Lo, this only have I found, 
"that God hath made man upright; 
but "^they have sought out many in- 
ventions.

Kings are to be respected. 

2 I counsel thee to keep the king's 
commandment, ^and that in regard 
of the oath of God. 

3 ''Be not hasty to go out of his 
sight : stand not in an evil thing ; for 
he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. 

4 Where the word of a king is, there 
is power: and ^Avho may say unto 
him. What doest thou? 

5 Whoso keepeth the command- 
ment t shall feel no evil thing: and a 
wise man's heart discernethboth time 
and judgment. 

6 TI Because 'to every purpose there 
is time and judgment, therefore the 
miseiy of man is great upon him. 

7 gFor he knoweth not that which 
shall be : for who can tell him || when 
it shall be? 

8 ^ There is no man that hath pow- 
er 'over the spirit to retain the spirit: 
neither hath he power in the day of 
death : and there is no || discharge in 
that war ; neither shall wickedness 
deliver those that are given to it. 

9 All this have I seen, and applied 
my heart unto every work that is done 
under the sun : there is a time where- 
in one man ruleth over another to 
his own hurt. 

10 And so I saw the wicked buried, 
who had come and gone from the 
place of the holy, and they were for- 
gotten in the city where they had so 
done : this is also vanity. 

1 1 1^ Because sentence against an evil 
work is not executed speedily, there- 
fore the heart of the sons of men is 
fully set in them to do evil. 

12 TI' Though a sinner do evil a 
hundred times, and his days be pro- 
longed, yet surely I know that ""it 
shall be well with them that fear God, 
which fear before him: 

13 But it shall not be well with the 
wicked, neither shall he prolong his 
days,which are as a shadow; because 
he feareth not before God. 

14 There is a vanity which is done 
upon the earth; that there be just 
men, unto whom it "happeneth ac- 
cording to the work of the wicked: 
again, there be wicked men, to whom 
it happeneth according to the work 
of the righteous: I said that this also 
is vanity. 

15 °Then I commended mirth, be- 
cause a man hath no better thins un- 

G77 



1 Like things happen to good and bad. 4 There 
is a necessity of death unto men. 7 Comfort 
is all their portion in this life. 1 1 God's pro- 
vidence ruleth over all. 13 Wisdom is better 
than strength. 

FOR all this f I considered in my 
heart even to declare all this, 
^that the righteous, and the wise, and 
their works, are in the hand of God : 
no man knoweth either love or ha- 
tred hy all that is before them. 

2 ''All things come alike to all : there 
is one event to the righteous and to 
the wicked ; to the good, and to the 
clean, and to the unclean ; to him 
that sacrificeth, and to him that sa- 
crificeth not : as is the good, so is the 
sinner ; and he that sweareth, as he 
tliat feareth an oath. 

3 This is an evil among all things 
that are done under the sun, that 
there is one event unto all : yea, also 
the heart of the sons of men is full 
of evil, and madness is in their heart 
while they live, and after that they 
go to the dead. 

4 TT For to him that is joined to all 
the living there is hope : for a living 
dog is better than a dead lion. 

5 For the living know that they 
shall die : but ^^the dead know not 
any thing, neither have they any 
more a reward ; for <^the memory of 
them is forgotten. 

6 Also their love, and their hatred, 
and their envy, is now perished ; nei- 
ther have they anymore a portion for 
ever in any thing that is done under 
the sun.

and let thy head lack no ointment. 

9 f Live joyfully with the wife whom 
thou lovest all the days of the life of 
thy vanity, which he hath given thee 
under the sun, all the days of thy va- 
nity : ffor that is thy portion in this 
life, and in thy labour which thou 
takest under the sun. 

10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to 
do, do it with thy might ; for there is 
no work, nor device, nor knowledge, 
nor wisdom, in the grave, whither 
thou goest. 

11 If I returned, &and saw under 
the sun, that the race is not to the 
swift, nor the battle to the strong, 
neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet 
riches to men of understanding, nor 
yet favour to men of skill ; but time 
and chance happeneth to them all. 

12 For hman also knoweth not his 
time : as the fishes that are taken in 
an evil net, and as the birds that are 
caught in the snare ; so are the sons 
of men ' snared in an evil time, when 
it falleth suddenly upon them. 

13 Tf This wisdom have I seen also 
under the sun, and it seemed great 
imto me : 

14 ^ There was a little city, and few 
men within it ; and there came agreat 
king against it, and besieged it, and 
built great bulwarks against it : 

15 Now there was found in it a 
poor wise man, and he by his wisdom 
delivered the city ; yet no man re- 
membered that same poor man. 

16 'Then said I, Wisdom is better 
than strength : nevertheless "> the 
poor man's wisdom is despised, and 
his words are not heard. 

17 The words of wise men are heard 
in quiet more than the cry of him 
that ruleth among fools. 

18 "Wisdom is better than weapons 
of war: but "one sinner destroyeth 
much good.

Exhortations to charitableness. 

20 1 P Curse not the king, no, not 
in thy || thought ; and curse not the 
rich in thy bed-chamber : for a bird of 
the air shall carry the voice, and that 
which hath wings shall tell the matter. 
CHAP. XI. 

1 Directions for charity. 7 Death in life, 9 and 
the day of judgment in the days of youth, are 
to be thought on. 

CAST thy bread "^f upon the wa- 
ters : ^ for thou shalt find it af- 
ter many days. 

2 = Give a portion <'to seven, and 
also to eight ; « for thou knowest not 
what evil shall be upon the eartli. 

3 If the clouds be full of rain, they 
empty themselves upon the earth: 
and if the tree fall toward the south, 
or toward the north, in the place 
where the tree faileth, there it shall 
be. 

4 He that observeth the wind shall 
not sow ; and he that regardeth the 
clouds shall not reap. 

5 As f thou knowest not what is the 
way of the spirit, s nor how the bones 
do grow in the womb of her that is 
with child : even so thou knowest not 
the works of God who maketh all. 

6 In the morning sow thy seed, and 
in the evening withhold not thy 
hand: for thou knowest not whether 
f shall prosper, either this or that, or 
whether they both shall be alike good. 

7 H Truly the light is sweet, and a 
pleasant thing it is for the eyes >• to 
behold the sun : 

8 But if a man live many years, 
and rejoice in them all; yet let him 
remember the days of darkness ; for 
they shall be many. All that cometh 
is vanity. 

9 H Rejoice, O young man, in thy 
youth ; and let thy heart cheer thee 
in the days of thy youth, ' and walk 
in the ways of thy heart, and in the 
sight of thine eyes : but know thou, 
that for all these things ''God will 
bring thee into judgment. 

10 Therefore remove || sorrow from 
thy heart, and 'put away evil from 
thy flesh: "> for childhood and youth 
are vanity.

Preacher; all is vanity. 

9 And II moreover, because the 
Preacher was wise, he still taught tiie

order many proverbs. 

10 The Preacher sought to find out 
•f acceptable words : and that which 
was written, was upright, even words 
of timth. 

1 1 The words of the wise are as 
goads, and as nails fastened hy the 
masters of assemblies, which are 
given from one shepherd. 

12 And further, by these, my son, 
be admonished : of making many 
books thei'e is no end ; and 'much 
II study is a weariness of the flesh. 

13 TI II Let us hear the conclusion 
of the whole matter: ™Fear God, 
and keep his commandments : for

thine eyes like the fish-pools in Hesh-

like purple ; the King is f held in tlie 
galleries. 

How fair and how pleasant art 
thou, O love, for delights ! 

7 This thy stature is like to a palm-

grapes.

CHAP. I. 

] Isaiah complaineth of Judahfor her rebellion. 

5 He lamenieth her judgments. 10 He upbraids- 
eih their whole service. 16 He exhorteih to re- 
pentance, icith promises and threatening-s. 21 
Bewailing their wiclcednesss, he denounceth 
God's judgments. 25 He prondseth grace, 28 
and threaienetk destruction to the tciclced. 

THE ^ vision of Isaiah the son of 
Amoz, which he saw concern- 
ing Judah and Jerusalem in the days 
of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Heze- 
kiah, kings of Judah. 

2 ''Hear, O heavens, and give ear, 
O earth : for the Lord hath spoken, 
•= I have nourished and brought up 
children, and they have rebelled 
against me. 

3 <* The ox knoweth his owner, and 
the ass his master's crib: hat Israel 
«doth not know, my people '"doth not 
consider. 

4 Ah sinful nation, a people f laden 
with iniquity, s a seed of evil-doers, 
children that are corrupters ! they 
have forsaken the Lord, they have 
provoked the Holy One of Israel un- 
to anger, they are fgone away back- 
ward. 

5 '[[''Why should ye be stricken any 
more ? ye will f revolt more and 
more : the whole head is sick, and the 
whole heart faint.

putrifying sores: 'they have not 
been closed, neither bound up, nei 
ther mollified with || ointment.

cities 6fre burned with fire: your 
land, strangers devour it in your pre- 
sence, and it is desolate, f as over- 
thrown by strangers. 

8 And the daughter of Zion is left 
'as a cottage in a vineyard, as a 
lodge in a garden of cucumbers, 
•" as a besieged city.

Lord : I am full of the burnt-offer-

and I delight not in the blood of bul- 
locks, or of lambs, or of f he-goats. 

12 When ye come f rto appear be- 
fore me, who hath required tliis at 
your hand, to tread my courts? 

13 Bring no more ^vain oblations : 
incense is an abomination unto me ; 
the new-moons and sabbaths, * the 
calling of assemblies, I cannot away 
with; it is || iniquity, even the solemn 
meeting. 

14 Your " new-moons and your ^ap- 
pointed feasts my soul hateth : they 
are a trouble unto me ; y I am weary 
to bear them. 

15 And ^when ye spread forth your 
hands, I will hide mine eyes from 
you; ''yea, when ye f make many 
prayers, I will not hear : your hands 
are full of i"! blood. 

16 Tf <^Wash you, make you clean: 
put away the evil of your doings from 
before mine eyes ; ''cease to do evil ; 

17 Learn to do well; ^seek judg- 
ment, II relieve the oppressed, judge 
the fatherless, plead for the widow. 

18 Come now, and Het us reason 
together, saith the Lord: ihough 
your sins be as scarlet, ethey shall be 
as white as snow ; though they be red 
like crimson, they shall be as wool. 

19 If ye be willing and obedient, 
ye shall eat the good of the land : 

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye 
shall be devoured with the sword : 
''for the mouth of the Lord hath 
spoken it. 

21 T[ 'How is the faithful city be- 
come a harlot! it was full of judg- 
ment; righteousness lodged in it; 
but now murderers. 

22 ''Thy silver is become dross, thy 
wine mixed with water : 

23 'Thy princes are rebellious, and 
■" companions of thieves: "every one 
loveth gifts, and followeth after re- 
wards: they "judge not the fatherless, 
neither doth the cause of the widow 
come unto them. 

24 Therefore saith the Lord, the 
Lord of hosts, the mighty One of 
Israel, Ah, p I will ease me of mine 
adversaries, and avenge me of mine 
enemies :

The coming of Christ's kingdom.

thee, and f q purely purge away thy 
dross, and take away all thy tin : 

26 And I will restore thy judges ""as 
at the first, and thy counsellors as at 
the beginning : afterward ^thou shalt 
be called, The city of righteousness, 
the faithful city. 

27 Zion shall be redeemed with 
judgment, and || her converts with 
righteousness. 

28 II And the * f destruction of the 
transgressors and of the sinners shall 
he together, and they that forsake 
the Lord shall be consumed. 

29 For they shall be ashamed of 
" the oaks which ye have desired, 
^ and ye shall be confounded for the 
gardens that ye have chosen. 

30 For ye shall be as an oak whose 
leaf fadeth, and as a garden that 
hath no water. 

31 yAnd the strong shall be 'as 
tow, II and the maker of it as a spark, 
and they shall both burn together, 
and none shall quench them.

CHAP. VL 

1 Isaiah, in a vision of the Lord in his glory, 5 
ieiniT terrified, is confirmed for his message. 9 
He sheicetli the obstinacy of the people unto their 
desolation. 13 A remnant shall be saved. 

IN the year that ^kingUzziah died 
I '' saw also the Lord sitting upon 
a throne, high and lifted up, and ||his 
train filled the temple. 

2 Above it stood the seraphims : 
each one had six wings ; with twain 
he covered his face, and ''with twain 
he covered his feet, and with twain 
he did fly. 

3 And f one cried unto anotlier, and 
said, ^ Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord 
of hosts: f«the whole earth is full 
of his glory. 

4 And the posts of the f door moved 
at the voice of him that cried, and 
'' the house was filled with smoke. 

5 H eThen said I, Wo is me ! for 
I am t undone ; because I am a man 
of unclean lips, and I dwell in the 
midst of a people of unclean lips : for 
mine eyes have seen the King, the 
Lord of hosts. 

6 Then flew one of the seraphims 
unto me, f having a live coal in his 
hand, ichich he had taken Avith the 
tongs from oft' ''the altar : 

7 And he f 'laid it upon my mouth, 
and said, Lo, this hath touched thy 
lips ; and thine iniquityis taken away, 
and thy sin purged. 

8 Also I heard the voice of the 
Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, 
and Avho will go for ''us ? Then said 
I, t Here am I ; send me. 

9 H And he said. Go, and tell this 
people, ' Hear ye |1 f indeed, but un- 
derstand not ; and see ye f indeed, 
but perceive not. 

10 Make '"the heart of this people 
fat, and make their ears heavy, and 
shut their eyes; "lest they see with 
their eyes, and hear with their ears, 
and understand with their heart, and 
convert, and be healed. 

11 Then said I, Lord, how long? 
And he answered, » Until the cities 
be wasted without inhabitant, and the 
houses without man, and the land be 
t utterly desolate;

Aliai IS comforted hy Isaiah. 

12 PAnd the Lord have removed 
men far away, and there he a great 
forsaking in the midst of the land. 

13 *iIBut yet in it shall he a tenth, 
II and it shall return, and shall be 
eaten : as a teil-tree, and as an oak 
whose II substance is in them, when 
they cast their leaves: so ^the holy 
seed shall he the substance thereof.

1 Ahaz, hehig trouWed with fear ofRezin and Pe- 
hah, is comfm'tedhrj Isaiah. 10 Aliaz, having 
liberty to choose a sign, and refusing it, hath for 
a sign, Christ prmnised. 17 His Judgment is 
prophesied to come by Assyria. 

ND it came to pass in the days 
of =^Ahaz the son of Jotham, 
the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, 
that Rezin the king of Syria, and 
Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of 
Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to 
war against it, but could not prevail 
against it. 

2 And it was told the house of Da- 
vid, saying, Syria fis confederate 
with Ephraim. And his heart was 
moved, and the heart of his people, 
as the trees of the wood are moved 
with the wind. 

3 Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, 
Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, 
^ and II Shear-jashub thy son, at the 
end of the <= conduit of the upper pool 
in the || highway of the fuller's field"; 

4 And say unto him. Take heed, 
and be quiet ; fear not, f neither be 
faint-hearted for the two tails of these 
smoking fire-brands, for the fierce 
anger of Rezin with Syria, and of 
the son of Remaliah. 

5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the 
son of Remaliah, have taken evil 
counsel against thee, saying, 

6 Let us go up against Judah, and 
II vex it, and let us make a breach 
therein for us, and set a king in the 
midst of it, even the son of Tabeal: 

7 Thus saith the Lord God, ''It 
shall not stand, neither shall it come 
to pass. 

8 <= For the head of Syria is Damas- 
cus, and the head of Damascus is 
Rezin ; and within threescore and 
five years shall Ephraim be broken, 
t that it be not a people.

Christ promised for a sign. 

10 "TTf Moreover, the Lord spake 
again unto Ahaz, saying, 

lis Ask thee a sign of the Lord 
thy God ; || ask it either in the depth, 
or in the height above. 

12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, 
neither will I tempt the Lord. 

13 And he said, Hear ye now, O 
house of David ; Is it a small thing 
for you to weary men, but will ye 
weary my God also ? 

14 Therefore the Lord himself shall 
give you a sign ; ^ Behold, a virgin 
shall conceive, and bear ' a son, and 
II shall call his name ''Immanuel. 

15 Butter and honey shall he eat, 
that he may know to refuse the evil, 
and choose the good. 

1 6 1 For before the child shall know 
to refuse the evil, and choose the 
good, the land that thou abhorrest 
shall be forsaken of "both her kings. 

17 "If "The Lord shall bring upon 
thee, and upon thy people, and upon 
thy father's house, days that have not 
come, from the day that "Ephraim 
departed from Judah ; even the king 
of Assyria. 

18 And it shall come to pass in that 
day, that the Lord p shall hiss for the 
fly that is in the uttermost part of the 
rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that 
is in the land of Assyria. 

19 And they shall come, and shall 
rest allof them in the desolate valleys, 
and in qthe holes of the rocks, and up- 
on all thorns, and upon all |1 bushes. 

20 In the same day shall the Lord 
shave with a "■ razor that is hired, 
namely, by them beyond the river, 
by the king of Assyria, the head, and 
the hair of the feet : and it shall also 
consume the beard. 

21 And it shall come to pass in that 
day, that a man shall nourish a young 
cow, and two sheep : 

22 And it shall come to pass, for 
the abundance of milk that they shall 
give that he shall eat butter: for but- 
ter and honey shall everyone eat that 
is left f in the land. 

23 And if shall come to pass in that 
day, that every place shall be, where 
there were a thousand vines at a 
thousand silverlings, ^ it shall even be 
for briers and thorns. 

24 With arrows and with bows 
shall men come thither ; because all

the land shall become briers and 
thorns. 

25 And on all hills that shall be dig- 
ged -with the mattock, there shall not 
come thither the fear of briers and 
thorns : but it shall be for the send- 
ing forth of oxen, and for the tread- 
ing of lesser cattle.

^ Judah likewise for tlteir infidelity. 9 God^s 
judgments shall be unresistible. 11 Comfort

MOREOVER, the Lord said un- 
to me. Take thee a great roll, 
and =^ write in it with a man's pen 
concerning f Maher-shalal-hash-baz. 

2 And 1 took unto me faithful wit- 
nesses to record, "^ Uriah the priest, 
and Zechariahthe son of Jeberechiah. 

3 And I \ went unto the prophetess ; 
and she conceived, and bare a son. 
Then said the Lord to me, Call his 
name Malier-shalal-hash-baz. 

4 <= For before the child shall have 
knowledge to cr\% My father, and my 
mother, ||<^therichesofDamascusand 
the spoil of Samaria shall be taken 
away before the king of Assj'ria. 

5 H The Lord spake also unto me 
again, saying, 

C Forasmuch as this people refuseth 
the waters of « Shiloah that go softly, 
and rejoice ^in Rezin and Remaliah's 
son ; 

7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord 
bringeth up upon them the waters of 
the river, strong and many, even sthe 
king of Assyria, and all his glory : 
and he shall come up over all his 
channels, and go over all his banks: 

8 And he shall pass through Judah ; 
he shall overflow and go over, •'he 
shall reach eren to the neck ; and f the 
stretching out of his wings shall fill 
the breadth of thy land, O ' Immanuel. 

9 TI ■« Associate yourselves, O ye peo- 
ple, II and ye shall be broken in pieces ; 
and give ear, all ye of far countries : 
gird yourselves, and ye shall be bro- 
ken in pieces ; gird yourselves, and 
ye shall be broken in pieces.

3 Thou hast multiplied the nation,

harvest, and as men rejoice ^ when 
they divide the spoil. 

4 II For thou hast broken the yoke

10 The bricks are fallen down, but

sycamores are cut down, but we will 
change them into cedavs. 

11 Therefore the Lord shall set up

12 The Syrians before, and the Phi- 
listines behind ; and they shall devour 
Israel f with open mouth. "• For all 
this his anger is not turned away,

20 T[ And it shall come to pass in 
that day, that the remnant of Israel, 
and such as are escaped of the house 
of Jacob, ^ shall no more again stay 
upon him that smote them ; but shall 
stay upon the Lord, the Holy One 
of Israel, in truth. 

21 yThe remnant shall return, even 
the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty 
God. 

22 ^For though thy people Israel 
be as the sand of the sea, ^yct a rem-

consumption decreed shall overflow 
II with righteousness. 

23 "^For the Lord God of hosts shall 
make a consumption, even determin- 
ed, in the midst of all the land. 

24 H Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God of hosts, O my people that 
dwellest in Zion, ''be not afraid of 
the Assyrian : he shall smite thee 
whh a rod, || and shall lift up his 
staff against thee, after the manner 
of e Egj-pt.

the indignation shall cease, and mine 
anger in their destruction. 

20 And the Lord of hosts shall stir 
up ha scourge for him according to 
the slaughter of 'Midian at the rock 
of Orel) : and ^as his rod was upon 
the sea, so shall he lift it up after the 
manner of Egj'pt. 

27 And it shall come to pass in that 
day, that 'his burden f shall be taken 
away from off thy shoulder, and his 
yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke 
shall be destroyed because of ""the 
anointing. 

28 He is come to Aiath, he is pass-

that day: he shall "shake his hand

33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of

equity for the meek of the earth : and 
he shall ^smite the earth with the 
rod of his mouth, and with the breath 
of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 

5 And ? righteousness shall be the

the girdle of his reins.

God's purpose against Assyria,

the north : 

14 I will ascend above the heights 
of the clouds ; P I will be like the 
Most High. 

15 Yet thou qshaltbe brought down 
to hell, to the sides of the pit. 

16 They that see thee shall narrow- 
ly look upon thee, and consider thee, 
saying, Is this the man that made 
the earth to tremble, that did shake 
kingdoms : 

17 That made the world as a wilder- 
ness, and destroyed the cities there- 
of: that 11 opened not the house of his 
prisoners ? 

18 All the kings of the nations, even 
all of them, lie in glory, every one in 
his own house. 

19 But thou art cast out of thy grave 
like an abominable branch, and as 
the raiment of those that are slain, 
thrust through with a sword, that go 
down to the stones of the pit; as a 
carcass trodden under feet. 

20 Thou shalt not be joined with 
them in burial, because thou hast de- 
stroyed thy land, and slain thy peo- 
ple : '■the seed of evil-doers shall 
never be renowned. 

21 Prepare slaughter for his chil- 
dren sfor the iniquity of their fa- 
thers ; that they do not rise, nor pos- 
sess the land, nor fill the face of the 
world with cities. 

22 For I will rise up against them, 
saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off 
from Babylon Uhe name, and "rem- 
nant, *and son, and nephew, saith 
the Lord. 

23 y I will also make it a possession 
for the bittern, and pools of water : 
and I will sweep it with the besom of 
destruction, saith the Lord of hosts. 

24 TI The Lord of hosts hath sworn, 
saying. Surely as I have thought, so 
shall it come to pass ; and as I have 
purposed, so shall it stand : 

25 That I will break the Assyrian 
in my land, and upon my mountains 
tread him under foot : then shall ^his 
yoke depart from off them, and his 
burdendepart from off their shoulders. 

26 This is the purpose that is pur- 
posed upon the whole earth: and this 
is the hand that is stretched out up- 
on all the nations. 

27 For the Lord of hosts hath 

696 



The lamentable stale of Moah. 

^^ purposed, and who shall disannul 
it ? and his hand is stretched out, 
and who shall turn it back ? 

28 In the year that ''king Ahaz died 
was this burden. 

29 TI Rejoice not thou, whole Pales- 
tina, '^ because the rod of him that 
smote thee is broken : for out of the 
serpent's root shall come forth a 
II cockatrice, "^and his fruit shall he 
a fiery flying serpent. 

30 And the first-born of the poor 
shall feed, and the needy shall lie 
down in safety : and I will kill thy 
root with famine, and he shall slay 
thy remnant. 

31 HoAvl, O gate ; cry, O city ; thou, 
whole Palestina, art dissolved : for 
there shall come from the north a 
smoke, and || none shall he alone in 
his II appointed times. 

32 What shall one then answer the 
messengers of the nation? That ^the 
Lord hath founded Zion, and ^the

O of the land ^ from || f Sela to

2 For it shall be, that, as a wander-

3 1 Take counsel, execute judgment; 
make thy shadow as the night in the

casts ; bewray not him that wander- 
eth. 

4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, 
Moab ; be thou a covert to them from 
the face of the spoiler: for the f ex- 
tortioner is at an end, the spoiler 
ceaseth, fthe oppressors are consum-

5 And in mercy ^s\\d\\ the throne 
be II established : and he shall sit up- 
on it in truth in the tabernacle of 
David, «^judging, and seeking judg- 
ment, and hasting righteousness. 

G Tl We have heard of the 'pride of 
Moab ; he is \Gxy proud : even of his 
haughtiness, and his pride, and his 
wrath : ibut his lies sJiall not be so. 

7 Therefore shall Moab '' howl for 
Moab, everyone shall howl : for the

II mourn ; surely they are stricken.

7 The paper-reeds by the brooks, 
by the mouth of the brooks, and 
everything sown by the brooks, shall 
wither, be driven away, f and be no

8 The fishers also shall mourn, and

14 The Lord hath mingled -f "a.

in every work thereof, as a drunken

15 Neither shall there be any work

16 In that day shall Egypt vhe like

3 Therefore (^are my loins filled

9 And behold, here cometh a cha-

Shebna's downfall prophesied 

chariots of men and horsemen, and

7 And it shall come to pass, that 
t thy choicest valleys shall be full of 
chariots, and the horsemen shall set 
themselves in array |1 at the gate. 

8 KAnd he discovered the covering 
of Judah, and thou didst look in that 
day to the armour Sof the house of 
the forest. 

9 ''Ye have seen also the breaches 
oT the city of David, that they are 
many : and ye gathered together the 
waters of the lower pool. 

1 And ye have numbered the houses 
of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye 
broken down to fortify the wall. 

11 'Ye made also a ditch between 
the two walls for the water of the old 
pool ; but ye have not looked unto 
''the maker thereof, neither had re- 
spect unto him that fashioned it long 
ago. 

12 A.nA in that day did the Lord 
God of hosts 'call to weeping, and 
to mourning, and '"to baldness, and 
to girding with sackcloth : 

13 And behold joy and gladness, 
slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eat- 
ing flesh, and drinking wine: "let 
us eat and drink ; for to-morrow we 
shall die. 

14°Anditwas revealed in mine 
ears by the Lord of hosts. Surely 
this iniquity P shall not be purged 
from you till ye die, saith the Lord 
God of hosts. 

15 IThus saith the Lord God of 
hosts, Go, get tliee unto this trea- 
surer, even unto nShebna, ■■ which is 
over the house, and say, 

16 What hast thou here, and whom 
hast thou here, that thou hast hewed 
thee out a sepulchre here, || as he 
nhat heweth him out a sepulchre on 
high, and that graveth a habitation 
for himself in a rock? 

17 Behold, II the Lord will carry 
thee away with f a mighty captivity, 
^and will surely cover thee. 

18 He will surely violently turn and 
toss thee like a "ball into a f large 
country : there shalt thou die, and 
there the chariots of thy glory shall 
be the shame of thy lord's house. 

19 And I will drive thee from thy

20 TIAnd it shall come to pass in 
that day, that I will call my servant 
"Ehakim, the son of Hilkiah : 

21 And I will clothe him with thy 
robe, and strengthen him with thy 
girdle, and I will commit thy govern- 
ment into his hand : and he shall be 
a father to the inhabitants of Jerusa- 
lem, and to the house of Judah. 

22 And the key of the house of Da- 
vid will I lay upon his shoulder : so 
he shall -'' open, and none shall shut ; 
and he shall shut, and none shall 
open. 

23 And I will fasten him os ya nail 
in a sure place ; and he shall be for a 
glorious throne to his father's house. 

24 And they shall hang upon him 
all the glory of his father's house, the 
offspring and the issue, all vessels of 
small quantity, from the vessels of 
cups, even to all the || vessels of fla- 
gons. 

25 In that day, saith the Lord of

the sure place be removed, and be cut 
down, and fall ; and the burden that 
icas upon it shall be cut off: for the

destroyed them, and made all their 
memory to perish. 

15 Thou hast increased the nation, 
O Lord, thou hast increased the na- 
tion ; thou art glorified : thou hadst 
removed it far unto all the ends of 
the earth.

sited thee ; they poured out a f prayer 
when thy diastening was upon them.

have been in pain, we have as it 
were brought forth wind ; we have 
not wrought any deUverance in the 
earth ; neither have Pthe inhabitants 
of the world fallen. 

19 1 Thy dead men shall live, toge- 
ther with my dead body shall they 
arise. ''Awake and sing, ye that 
dwell in dust : for thy dew is as tKe 
dew of herbs, and the earth shall 
cast out the dead. 

20 HCome, my people, ^ enter thou 
into thy chambers, and shut thy doors 
about thee : hide thyself as it were 
*for a little moment, until the indig- 
nation be overpast. 

21 For behold, the Lord "cometh 
out of his place to punish the inhabit- 
ants of the earth for their iniquity : 
the earth also shalldiscloseherfblood, 
and shall no more cover her slain.

IN that day the Lord with his sore 
and great and strong sword shall 
punish leviathan the || piercing ser-

serpent; and he shall slay ^the dra-

2 In that day <^ sing ye unto her, 
«* A vineyard of red wine. 

3 « I the Lord do keep it ; I will 
water it every moment: lest any hurt 
it, I will keep it night and day. 

4 Fur\' is not in me : who would set 
•^the briers «?«/ thorns against me in 
battle? 1 would || go through them, 
I would burn them together. 

5 Or let him take hold s of my 
strength, that he may ^ make peace 
with me, and he shall make peace 
with me. 

6 He shall cause them that come of 
Jacob 'to take root: Israel shall blos- 
som and bud, and fill the face of the 
world with fruit.

1 7 Judgment also will I lay to the 
ine, and righteousness to the plum- 
met : and the hail shall sweep away 
"Uhe refuge of lies, and the waters 
shall overflow the hiding-place. 

18 ^ And your covenant with death 
shall be disannulled, and your agree- 
ment with hell shall not stand ; when 
the overflowing scourge shall pass 
through, then ye shall be f trodden 
down by it. 

19 From the time that it goeth forth 
it shall take you : for morning by 
morning shall it pass over, by day 
and by night : and it shall be a vexa- 
tion only II to understand the report. 

20 For the bed is shorter than that 
a man can stretch himself on it : and 
the covering narrower than that he 
can wrap himself in it. 

21 For the Lord shall rise up as in 
mount °Perazim,he shall be wroth as 
in the valley of ° Gibeon, that he may 
do his work, P his strange work ; and 
bring to pass his act, his strange act. 

22 Now therefore be ye not mock- 
ers, lest your bands be made strong: 
for I have heard from the Lord God 
of hosts qa consumption, even deter- 
mined upon the whole earth. 

23 TI Give ye e ar , and he ar my voice ; 
hearken, and hear my speech. 

24 Doth the ploughman plough all 
day to sow ? doth he open and break 
the clods of his ground ? 

25 When he hath made plain the 
face thereof, doth he not cast abroad 
the fitches, and scatter the cummin, 
and cast in || the principal wheat, and 
the appointed barley, and the ||rye in 
their f place ? 

26 II For his God doth instruct him 
to discretion, and doth teach him. 

27 For the fitches are not threshed 
with a threshing instrument, neither 
is a cart-wheel turned about upon 
the cummin ; but the fitches are 
beaten out with a staff", and the cum- 
min with a rod. 

28 Bread-corn is bruised ; because 
he will not ever be threshing it, nor 
break it with the wheel of his cart, 
nor bruise it with his horsemen. 

29 This also cometh forth from the 
Lord of hosts, ^ which is wonderful 
in counsel, and excellent in working.

^ where David dwelt ! add ye

2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there 
shall be heaviness and sorrow : and 
it shall be unto me as Ariel. 

3 And I will camp against thee round 
about, and will lav siege against thee 
with a mount, and I will raise forts 
against thee. 

4 And thou shalt be brought down, 
and shalt apeak out of the gi-ound, 
and thy speech shall be low out of 
the dust, and thy voice shall be, as 
of one that hath a familiar spirit, 
•=out of the ground, and thy speech 
shall t whisper out of the dust. 

5 Moreover, the multitude of thy 
^strangers shall be like small dust, 
and the multitude of the terrible ones 
shall be ^ as chaff that passeth away : 
yea, it shall be '^at an instant suddenly. 

6 eThou shalt be visited of the Lord 
of hosts with thunder, and with earth- 
quake, and great noise, with storm 
and tempest, and the flame of de- 
vouring fire. 

7 H hAnd the multitude of all the 
nations that fight against Ariel, even 
all that fight against her and her mu- 
nition, and that distress her, shall be 
'as a dream of a night vision. 

8 ''It shall even be as when a hun- 
gry 7nan dreameth, and behold, he 
eateth ; but he awaketh, and his soul 
is empty : or as when a thirsty man 
dreameth, and behold, he drinketh ; 
but he awaketh, and behold, he is 
faint, and his soul hath appetite : so 
shall the multitude of all the nations 
be, that fight against mount Zion. 

9 H Stay yourselves, and wonder ;

ken, '"but not with wine ; they stag- 
ger, but not with strong drink.

God's mercies toward his churcTi. 

aside out of the path, cause the Holy 
One of Israel to cease from before us. 

12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy 
Oneof Israel,Becauseye despise this 
word, and trust in || oppression and 
perverseness, and stay thereon : 

13 Therefore this iniquity shall be 
to you qas a breach ready to fall, 
swelling out in a high wall, whose 
breaking "■ cometh suddenly at an in- 
stant. 

14 And she shall break it as the 
breaking of f the potters' vessel that 
is broken in pieces ; he shall not 
spare : so that there shall not be found 
in the bursting of it a sherd to take 
fire from the hearth, or to take water 
withal out of the pit. 

15 For thus saith the Lord God, 
the Holy One of Israel; 'In returning 
and rest shall ye be saved : in quiet- 
ness and in confidence shall be your 
strength : ^ and ye would not. 

16 But ye said. No ; for we will 
flee upon horses ; therefore shall ye 
flee : and. We will ride upon the 
swift ; therefore shall they that pur- 
sue you be swift. 

17 ^One thousand shall fiee at the 
rebuke of one ; at the rebuke of five 
shall ye flee : till ye be left as || a bea- 
con upon the top of a mountain, and 
as an ensign on a hill. 

18 11 And therefore will the Lord 
wait, that he may be gracious unto 
you, and therefore will he be exalted, 
that he may have mercy upon you ; 
for the Lord is a God of judgment : 
y blessed are all they that wait for him. 

19 For the people ^ shall dwell in 
Zion at Jerusalem : thou shalt weep 
no more : he will be very gracious un- 
to thee at the voice of thy cry ; when 
he shall hear it, he will answer thee. 

20 And though the Lord give you 
^ the bread of adversity, and the water 
of II affliction, yet shall not ''thy teach- 
ers be removed intoa corneranymore, 
but thine eyes shall see thy teachers : 

21 And thine ears shall hear a word 
behind thee, saying. This is the way, 
walk ye in it, when ye ^turn to the 
right hand, and when ye turn to the 
left. 

22 <! Ye shall defile also the covering 
of f thy graven images of silver, and 
the ornament of thy molten images 
of gold : thou shalt f cast them away

23 ^Then shall he give the rain of 
thy seed, that thou shalt sow the 
ground withal ; and bread of the in-

cattle feed in large pastures. 

24 The oxen likewise and the young

25 And there shall be supon every 
high mountain, and upon every f high 
hill, rivers ant? streams of waters in 
the day of the great slaughter, when 
the towers fall. 

26 Moreover ^the light of the moon 
shall be as the light of the sun, and 
the light of the sun shall be seven- 
fold, as the light of seven days, in 
the day that the Lord bindeth up 
the breach of his people, and healeth 
the stroke of their wound. 

27 •[[ Behold, the name of the Lord 
cometh from far, burning with his an- 
ger, II and the burden thereof is f hea- 
vy : his lips are full of indignation, 
and his tongue as a devouring fire : 

28 And 'his breath, as an overflow- 
ing stream, ''shall reach to the midst 
of the neck, to sift the nations with 
the sieve of vanity: and there shall be 
'a bridle in the jaws of the people, ich 
causing them to err. 

29 Ye shall have a song, as in the 
night ™ when a holy solemnity is kept ; 
and gladness of heart, as when one 
goeth with a pipe to come into "the 
mountain of tlie Lord, to the f Mighty 
One of Israel. 

30 ° And the Lord shall cause f his 
glorious voice to be heard, and shall 
shew the lighting down of his arm, 
with the indignation of //is anger, and 
with the flame of a devouring fire, 
with scattering, and tempest, Pand 
hail-stones. 

31 For q through the voice of the 
Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten 
down, ''which smote with a rod. 

32 And f in every place where the 
grounded staflT shall pass, which the 
Lord shall flay upon him, it shall be 
with tabrets and harps : and in bat- 
tles of ^shaking will he fight ||with it.

I Tlie prophet sheicetk tlie cursed folly in trusting 
to Egypt, attdforsalcing of God. 6 He exhortem 
to conversion. SHe sheweth the fall of Asuyria. 

WO to them ^that go down to 
Eg}'pt for help ; and ^ stay on 
horses, and trust in chariots, because 
they are many; and in horsemen, be- 
cause they are verj'^ strong; but they 
look not unto the Holy One of Israel, 
''neither seek the Lord ! 

2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring 
evil, and ^\\i\\ not fcall back his 
words : but will arise against the 
house of the evil-doers, and against 
the help of them that work iniquity. 

3 Now the Egyptians are ^men, and 
not God ; and their horses flesh, and 
not spirit. When the Lord shall 
stretch out his hand, both he that 
helpeth shall fall, and he that is holp- 
en shall fall down, and they all shall 
fail together. 

4 For thus hath the Lord spoken 
unto me, *"Like as the lion and the 
young lion roaring on his prey, when 
a multitudeofshepherdsis called forth 
against him, he will not be afraid of 
their voice, nor abase himself for the 
II noise of them: sso shall the Lord 
of hosts come down to fight for mount 
Zion, and for the hill thereof. 

5 ''As birds flying, so will the Lord 
of hosts defend Jerusalem; 'defend- 
ing also he will deliver it ; and pass- 
ing over he will preserve it. 

6 H Turn ye unto him from whom 
the children of Israel have i' deeply 
revolted. 

7 For in that day every man shall 
'cast away his idols of silver, and 
f his idols of gold, which your own 
hands have made unto you/or •" asin. 

8 Tl Then shall the Assyrian "fall 
with the sword, not of a mighty man; 
and the sword, not of a mean man, 
shall devour him : but he shall flee 

II from the sword, and his young men 
shall be || f discomfited. 

9 And "t he shall pass over to ||his 
strong hold for fear, and his princes 
shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the 
Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his 
fumace in Jerusalem.

1 Sennacherib invadeth Judah. 4 RabsJiakeh, sent 
by Sennacherib, by blasphemous persuasions 
soliciteth the people to revolt. 22 lAs words are 
told to Hezekiah. 

NOW '^it came to pass in the four- 
teenth year of king Hezekiah, 
that Sennacherib king of Assyria 
came up against all the defenced ci- 
ties of Judah, and took them. 

2 And the king of Assyria sent Rab- 
shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem 
unto king Hezekiah with a great ar- 
my. And he stood by the conduit of 
tlie upper pool in the highway of the 
fuller's field. 

3 Then came forth unto him Elia- 
kim, Hilkiah's son, which was over 
the house, and Shebna the || scribe, 
and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder. 

4 H ''And Rabshakeh said unto them, 
Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith 
the great king, the king of Assyria, 
What confidence zsthis wherein thou 
trustest ? 

5 I say, sayest thou (but they are

if a man lean, it will go into his hand, 
and pierce it : so is Pharaoh king of 
Egypt to all that trust in him. 

7 But if thou say to me, We trust 
in the Lord our God : is it not he, 
whose high places and whose altars 
Hezekiah hath taken away, and said 
to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall 
worship before this altar ? 

8 Now therefore give || pledges, I 
pray thee, to my master the king of 
Assyria, and I will give thee two 
thousand horses, if thou be able on 
thy part to set riders upon them. 

9 How then wilt thou turn away the 
face of one captain of the least of my 
master's servants, and put thy trust on 
Egypt forchariots and for horsemen 1 

10 And am I now come up without 
the Lord against this land to destroy 
it ? the Lord said unto me, Go up 
against this land, and destroy it. 

1 1 U Then said Eliakim, and Sheb- 
na, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, 
I pray thee, unto thy servants in the 
Syrian language ; for we understand 
il : and speak not to us in the Jews' 
language, in the ears of the people 
that are on the wall. 

12 H But Rabshakeh said. Hath my 
roaster sent me to thy master and to 
thee to speak these words ? hath he 
not sent me to the men that sit upon 
the wall, that they may eat their own 
dung, and drink their own piss with 
you? 

13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried 
with a loud voice in the Jews' lan- 
guage, and said, Hear ye the words 
of the great king, the king of Assyria. 

14 Thus saith the king. Let not 
Hezekiah deceive you : for he shall 
not be able to deliver you. 

15 Neither let Hezekiah make you 
trust in the Lord, saying. The Lord 
will surely deliver us : this city shall 
not be delivered into the hand of the 
king of Assyria. 

16 Hearken not to Hezekiah : for 
thus saith the king of Assyria, || jMake 
an agreement with me by a present, 
and come outto me : '^ and eat ye eveiy 
one of his vine, and every one of his 
fig-tree, and drink ye every one the

answered him not a word : for the

Answer him not.

Hilkiah, that was over the household,

AND ^it came to pass, when king 
Hezekiah heard it, that he rent 
his clothes, and covered himself with 
sackcloth, and went into the house of 
the Lord. 

2 And he sent Eliakim, who was 
over the household, and Shebna the 
scribe, and the elders of the priests 
covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah 
the prophet, the son of Amoz. 

3 And they said unto him, Thus 
saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of 
trouble, and of rebuke, and of || blas-

the birth, and there is not strength to 
bring forth. 

4 It may be the Lord thy God will

the kingof Assyria his master hath sent 
to reproach the living God, and will 
reprove the words which the Lord thy

7 Behold, I will H send a blast upon

return to his own land ; and I will 
cause him to fall by the sw^ord in his

8 ^ So Rabshakeh returned, and 
found the king of Ass\Tia warring 
against Libnah : for he had heard 
that he was departed from Lachish. 

9 And he heard say concerning Tir- 
hakah king of Ethiopia, He is come 
forth to make war with thee. And 
when he heard it, he sent messengers 
to Hezekiah, saying, 

10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah 
king of Judah, saying, Let not thv God 
in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, 
saving. Jerusalem shall not be given 
into the hand of the king of Assyria. 

11 Behold, thou hast heard what

14 TI And Hezekiah received the 
letter from the hand of the messen- 
gers, and read it : and Hezekiah went 
up unto the house of the Lord, and 
spread it before the Lord.

Lord, saying,

21 ^ Then Isaiah the son of Amoz 
sent unto Hezekiah, sapng, Thus 
saith the Lord God of Israel, Where- 
as thou hast prayed to me against 
Sennacherib king of Assyria : 

22 This z'sthe word which the Lord 
hath spoken concerning him ; The 
virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath 
despised thee, and laughed thee to 
scorn ; the daughter of Jerusalem 
hath shaken her head at thee. 

23 "Whom hast thou reproached and 
blasphemed ; and against whom hast 
thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up 
thine eyes on high? even against the 
Holy One of Israel. 

24 t By thy servants hast thou re- 
proached the Lord, and hast said, By 
the multitude of my chariots am I 
come up to the height of the moun- 
tains, to the sides of Lebanon ; and 
I will cut down f the tall cedars there- 
of, and the choice fir-trees thereof: 
and I will enter into the height of his 
border, CTZf/ 11 the forest of his Carmel. 

25 I have digged, and drunk water; 
and with the sole of my feet have I 
dried up all the rivers of the || besieg- 
ed places. 

26 liHast thou not heard long ago, 
how I have done it ; and of ancient 
times, that I have formed it? now 
have I brought it to pass, that thou 
shouldest be to lay waste defenced 
cities into ruinous heaps. 

27 Therefore their inhabitants were 
f of small power, they were dismayed 
and confounded : they were as the 
grass ofthe field, and osthegreenherb, 
as the grass on the house-tops, and as 
corn blasted before it be gro^^^l up. 

28 But I know thy i| abode, and thy 
going out, and thy coming in, and thy 
rage against me. 

29 Because thy rage against me, 
and thy tumult, is come up into mine 
ears, therefore ^ vn\\ I put my hook 
in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, 
and I will turn thee back by the way 
by which thou earnest.

31 And f the remnant that is escap-

32 For out of Jerusalem shall go

against it.

of the Assyrians a hundred and four-

they arose early in the morning, be-

and was recovered of his sickness: 

10 I said in the cutting off of my 
days, I shall go to the gates of the 
grave: I am deprived of the residue 
of my years. 

Ill said, I shall not see the Lord, 
even the Lord, ^in the land of the

thou make an end of me.

CHAP. XXXIX. 

I Merodach-baladan, sending to visit Hezekiah 
because of the wonder, hath notice of his trea- 
sures. 3 Isaiah, understanding thereof, fore- 
telleth the Babylonian captivity. 

AT ^that time Merodach-baladan, 
the son of Baladan, king of 
Babylon, sent letters and a present to 
Hezekiah : for he had heard that he 
had been sick, and was recovered. 

2 b And Hezekiah was glad of them, 
and shewed them the house of his 

II precious things, the silver, and the 
gold, and the spices, and the precious 
ointment, and all the house of his 
jl f armour, and all that was found 
in his treasures: there was nothing 
in his house, nor in all his dominion, 
that Hezekiah shewed them not. 

3 H Then came Isaiah the prophet 
unto king Hezekiah and said unto 
him, What said these men? and from 
whence came they unto thee? and 
Hezekiah said. They are come from 
a far country unto me, even from 
Babylon. 

4 Then said he, What have they 
seen in thy house ? And Hezekiah 
answered. All that is in my house 
have they seen : there is nothing 
among my treasures that I have not

together : for the mouth of the Lord

small dust of the balance : behold, he 
taketh up the isles as a veiy little thing. 

16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to

2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor

9 Behold, theformerthingsarecome

10 P Sing unto the Lord a new

shout from the top of the mountains.

13 The Lord shall go forth as a

14 I have long time holden my

vailing woman ; I will destroy and 
f devour at once. 

15 1 will make waste mountains and 
hills, and dry up all their herbs ; and 
I will make the rivers islands, and I 
will dry up the pools. 

16 And I will bring the blind by a 
way that they Imew not ; I will lead 
them in patlis that they have not 
Imown : I will make darkness light 
before them, and crooked things 
f straight. These things will I do 
unto them, and not forsake them. 

17 IThey shall be turned back, 
they shall be greatly ashamed, that 
trust in graven images, that say to 
the molten images. Ye are our gods. 

18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye 
bhnd, that ye may see.

or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? 
who is blind as he that is perfect, and 
blind as the Lord's servant ?

observest not ; opening the ears, but 
he heareth not. 

21 The Lord is well pleased for his 
righteousness' sake ; he will magnify

22 But this is a people robbed and 
spoiled ; || they are all of them snared 
in holes, and they are hid in prison-

delivereth, for f a -spoil, and none 
saith, Restore. 

23 Who among you will give ear

Israel to the robbers? did not the 
Lord, he against whom we have 
sinned 1 for they would not walk in 
his ways, neither were tliey obedient

God comforteth the church. 

BUT now thus saith the Lord 
a^that created thee, O Jacob, 
b and he that formed thee, O Israel, 
Fear not: <=for I have redeemed thee, 
^ I have called thee by thy name ; 
thou art mine. 

2 ^When thou passest through the 
waters, f I will be with thee ; and 
through the rivers, they shall not 
overflow thee : when thou &walkest 
through the fire, thou shalt not be 
burned ; neither shall the flame kin- 
dle upon thee. 

3 For I am the Lord thy God, the 
Holy One of Israel,thy Saviour : ^l 
gave Egypt /or thy ransom, Ethiopia 
and Seba for thee. 

4 Since thou wast precious in my 
sight, thou hast been honourable, and 

I have loved thee : therefore will I 
give men for thee, and people for thy 

II life. 

5 'Fear not; for I ara with thee: 
I will bring thy seed from the east, 
and gather thee from the west : 

6 I will say to the north. Give up ; 
and to the south, Keep not back : 
bring my sons from far, and my 
daughters from the ends of the earth ; 

7 Even every one that is k called by 
my name : for ' I have created him 
for my glory, ™ I have formed him ; 
yea, I have made him. 

8 ^n Bring forth the blind people 
that have eyes, and the deaf that have 
ears. 

9 Let all the nations be gathered 
together, and let the people be as- 
sembled : "who among them can de- 
clare this, and shewus former things? 
let them bring forth their witnesses, 
that they may be justified; or let them 
hear, and say. It is truth. 

10 P Ye are my witnesses, saith the 
Lord, qand my servant whom I have 
chosen: that ye may know and be- 
lieve me, and understand that I am 
he : >■ before me there was ||no God 
formed, neither shall there be after 
me. 

Ill, even I, ^ am the Lord ; and 
besides me there is no saviour. 

12 I have declared, and have saved, 
and I have shewed, when the7-e was 
no ' strange god among you : " there- 
fore ye are my witnesses, saith the

your sake I have sent to Babylon, and 
have brought down all their f nobles, 
and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in 
the ships. 

15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, 
the Creator of Israel, your King. 

16 Thus saith the Lord, which 
^maketh a way in the sea, and a 
^path in the mighty waters ; 

17 Which bbringeth forth the cha- 
riot and horse, the army and the pow- 
er ; they shall lie down together, they 
shall not rise : they are extinct, they 
are quenched as tow. 

18 II "Remember ye not the former 
things, neither consider the things of 
old. 

19 Behold, I will do a ^new thing ; 
now it shall spring forth ; shall ye 
not know it ? ^ I will even make a 
way in the wilderness, and rivers in 
the desert. 

20 The beast of the field shall ho- 
nour me, the dragons and the || f owls : 
because ^ I give waters in the wilder- 
ness, and rivers in the desert, to give 
drink to my people, my chosen. 

21 sThis people have I formed for 
myself; they shall shew forth my 
praise. 

22 H But thou hast not called upon 
me, O Jacob; but thou iihast been 
weary of me, O Israel. 

23 ' Thou hast not brought me the 
t small cattle of thy burnt-offerings ; 
neither hast thou honoured me with 
thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee 
to serve with an offering, nor wearied 
thee with incense. 

24 Thou hast bought me no sweet 
cane with money, neither hast thou 
t filled me with the fat of thy sacri- 
fices: but thou hast made me to serve 
with thy sins, thou hast ^wearied me 
with thine iniquities. 

25 I, even I, am he that ^ blotteth 
out thy transgressions "^for mine 
own sake, " and will not remember 
thy sins.

plead together: declare thou, that 
thou mayest be justified.

it a graven image, and faileth down 
thereto. 

16 He burneth part thereof in the 
fire ; with part thereof he eateth flesh;

he warmeth himself and saith. Aha, 
I am warm, I have seen the fire :

that I, the Lord, which *'call thee by 
thy name, am the God of Israel. 

4 For s Jacob my servant's sake, and 
Israel mine elect, I have even called 
thee by thy name : I have surnamed 
thee, though thou hast ''not known 
me. 

5^1 '«?« the Lord, and ^ the re is 
none else, there is no God besides me : 
' I girded thee, though thou hast not 
known me : 

6 '" That they may know from the 
rising of the sun, and from the west, 
that there is none besides me. I am 
the Lord, and t/iere is none else. 

7 I form the light, and create dark- 
ness: I make peace, and "create evil: 
I the Lord do all these things. 

8 "Drop down, ye heavens, from 
above, and let the skies pour down 
righteousness : let the earth open, 
and let them bring forth salvation, 
and let righteousness spring up to- 
gether ; I the Lord have created it. 

9 Wo unto him that striveth with 
Phis Maker ! Let the potsherd strive 
with the potsherds of the earth. i Shall 
the clay say to him that fashioneth it, 
What makest thou? or thy work. He 
hath no hands ? 

10 Wo unto him that saith unto 
his father, What begettest thou '! or to 
the woman. What hast thou brought 
forth ? 

1 1 Thus saith the Lord, the Holy 
One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask 
me of things to come concerning 
""my sons, and concerning ^the work 
of my hands command ye me. 

12 'I have made the earth, and " cre- 
ated man upon it : I, even my hands,

Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of

mention of the God of Israel, "but

LISTEN, "O isles, unto me ; and

^ The Lord hath called me from the 
womb; from the bowels of my mother 
hath he made mention of my name. 

2 And he hath made "^niy mouth 
like a sharp sword ; <^ in the shadow of 
his hand hath he hid me, and made 
me ea polished shaft; in his quiver 
hath he hid me ; 

3 And said unto me, <" Thou art my 
servant, O Israel, e in whom I will be 
glorified. 

4 '• Then I said, I have laboured in 
vain, I have spent my strength for 
nought, and in vain ; yet surely my 
judgment is with the Lord, and ||my 
work with my God. 

5 11 And now, saith the Lord ' that

servant, to bring Jacob again to him, 
II Though Israel •'be not gatliered, yet

raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to 
restore the ||preser\ed of Israel: I 
will also give thee for a • light to the 
Gentiles, that thou mayest be my sal ■ 
vation unto the end of the earth. 

7 Thus saith the Lord, the Redeem- 
er of Israel, and his Holy One, "> || to 
him whom man despiseth, to him 
whom the nation abhorreth, to a ser- 
vant of rulers, " Kings shall see and 
arise, princes also shall worship, be-

9 That thou mayest say ito the pri 
soners. Go forth : to tliem that are 
in darkness. Shew yourselves. They 
shall feed in the ways, and their pas- 
tures shall be in all high places. 

10 They shall not "^hunger nor 
thirst, ^neither shall the heat nor sun 
smite them : for he that hath mercy 
on them 'shall lead them, even by the 
springs of vv^ater shall he guide them. 

11" And I will make all my moun- 
tains a way, and my highways shall 
be exalted.

God will comfort his dmrch. 

2 <=Look unto Abraham your father, 
and unto Sarah that bare you-: "^for 
I called him alone, and ^blessed him, 
and increased him. 

3 For the I.,ord '^shall comfort Zion : 
he will comfort all her waste places ; 
and he will make her wilderness like 
Eden, and her desert s like the garden 
of the Lord ; joy and gladness shall 
be found therein, thanksgiving, and 
the voice of melody. 

4 TI Hearken unto me, my people ; 
and give ear unto me, O my nation : 
''for a law shall proceed from me, and 
I will make my judgment to rest 'for 
a light of the people. 

5 i^My righteousness fsnear; my 
salvation is gone forth, 'and mine 
arms shall judge the people; "'the 
isles shall wait upon me, and "on 
mine arm shall they trust. 

G o Lift up your eyes to the heavens, 
and look upon the earth beneath : for 
Pthe heavens shall vanish away like 
smoke, Hand the earth shall wax old 
like a garment, and they that dwell 
therein shall die in like manner : but 
my salvation shall be forever, and my 
righteousness shall not be abolished. 

7 Tf ■■ Hearken unto me, ye that know 
righteousness, the people ^in whose 
heart is my law ; ' fear ye not the re- 
proach of men, neither be ye afraid 
of their revilings. 

8 For "the moth shall eat them up 
like a garment, and the worm shall 
eat them like wool : but my righte- 
ousness shall be for ever, and my sal- 
vation from generation to generation. 

fl TI 'f Awake, awake, y put onstrength, 
O arm of the Lord ; awake, ^ as in 
the ancient days, in the generations of 
old. '^Art thou not it that hath cut 
''Rahab, and wounded the "^dragon? 

10 Art thou not it which hath 
''dried the sea, the waters of the great 
deep ; that hath made the depths of 
the sea a way for the ransomed to 
pass over ? 

1 1 Therefore ^the redeemed of the 
Lord shall return, and come with 
singing unto Zion ; and everlasting 
joy shall be upon their head : they 
shall obtain gladness and joy ; and

the earth ; and hast feared continu 
ally every day because of the fury of 
the oppressor, as if he \\ were ready

14 The captive exile hasteneth that 
he may be loosed, 'and that he should 
not die in the pit, nor that his bread

15 But I am the Lord thy God, that 
•"divided the sea, whose waves roar-

mouth, and "have covered thee in 
the shadow of my hand, Pthat I

foundations of the earth, and say un-

Jerusalem, which "^hast drunk at the 
hand of the Lord the cup of his 
fury; nhou hast drunken the dregs 
of the cup of trembling, and wrung 
them out. 

18 There is none to guide her a- 
mong all the sons whom she hath 
brought forth ; neither is there any 
that taketh her by the hand of all 
the sons that she hath brought up. 

19 'These two things fare come 
imto thee ; who shall be sorry for 
thee ? desolation, and f destruction, 
and the famine, and the sword : "by 
whom shall I comfort thee ? 

20 ^Thy sons have fainted, they lie 
at the head of all the streets, as a 
wild bull in a net : they are full of 
the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of 
thy God. 

21 H Therefore hear now this, thou 
afflicted, and drunken, y but not with 
wine : 

22 Thus saith thy Lord the Lord, 
and thy God ^that pleadeth the cause 
of his people. Behold, I have taken 
out of thy hand the cup of trem- 
bling, even the dregs of the cup of 
my fury ; thou shalt no more drink

selves from boruiage. 13 Christ's kingdom shall 
be exalted. 

WAKE, a awake, put on thy 
strength, O Zion ; put on thy 
beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, ^ the 
holy city : for ^ henceforth there shall 
no more come into thee the uncir- 
cumcised ''and the unclean. 

2 ^ Shake thyself from the dust ; 
arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem : 
'"loose thyself from the bands of thy 
neck, O captive daughter of Zion. 

3 For thus saith the Lord, sYe 
have sold yourselves for nought ; and 
ye shall be redeemed without money. 

4 For thus saith the Lord God, My 
people went down aforetime into 
'•Egypt to sojourn there ; and the As- 
syrian oppressed them without cause. 

5 Now therefore, what have I here, 
saith the Lord, that my people is 
taken away for nought ? they that rule 
over them make them to howl, saith 
the Lord ; and my name continually 
every day is 'blasphemed. 

6 Therefore my people shall know 
my name : therefore they shall know 
in that day that I am he that doth 
speak : behold, it is 1. 

7 T[ 1^ How beautiful upon the moun- 
tains are the feet of him that bring- 
eth good tidings, that publisheth 
peace ; that bringeth good tidings of 
good, that publisheth salvation ; that 
saith unto Zion, 'Thy God reigneth ! 

8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the 
voice ; with the voice together shall 
they sing : for they shall see eye to 
eye, when the Lord shall bring again 
Zion. 

9 H Break forth into joy, sing toge- 
ther, ye waste places of Jerusalem : 
""for the Lord hath comforted his 
people, "he hathredeemed Jerusalem.

SING, ■'O barren, thou that didst 
not bear ; break forth into sing- 
ing, and cr}"^ aloud, thou that didst 
not travail with child : for ''more ai-e 
the children of the desolate than the 
children of the married wife, saith 
the Lord. 

2 "= Enlarge the place of thy tent, 
and let them stretch forth the cur- 
tains of thy habitations ; spare not, 
lengthen thy cords, and strengthen 
thy stakes ; 

3 For thou shalt break forth on the 
right hand and on the left ; ''and thy 
seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and 
make the desolate cities to be inha- 
bited. 

4 Fear not ; for thou shalt not be 
ashamed : neither be thou confound- 
ed; for thou shalt not be put to 
shame: for thou shalt forget the 
shame of thy youth, and shalt not 
remember the reproach of thy widow- 
hood any more. 

5 ^ For thy Maker is thy husband ; 
The fLoRD of hosts is his name ; and

Deliverance proviised to the church. 

thy Redeemer the Holy One of Is- 
rael ; g The God of the whole earth 
shall he be called. 

6 For the Lord *ihath called thee 
as a woman foi'saken and grieved in 
spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou 
wast refused, saith thy God. 

7 • For a small moment have I for- 
saken thee ; but with great mercies 
will I gather thee. 

8 In a little wrath I hid my face from 
thee for a moment ; ''but with ever- 
lasting kindness will I have mercy on 
thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer. 

9 For this is as the waters of 'Noah 
unto me : for as I have sworn that 
the waters of Noah should no more 
go over the earth ; so have I sworn 
that I would not be wroth with thee, 
nor rebuke thee. 

10 For in the mountains shall depart, 
and the hills be removed ; " but my 
kindness shall not depart from thee, 
neither shall the covenant of my 
peace be removed, saith the Lord 
that hath mercy on thee. 

1 1 "^ O thou afflicted, tossed with 
tempest, a?zfZ not comforted ! behold, 
I will lay thy stones with ° fair co- 
lours, and lay thy foundations with 
sapphires. 

12 And I will make thy windows of 
agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, 
and all thy borders of pleasant stones. 

13 And all thy children shall he 
P taught of the Lord; and q great 
shall he the peace of thy children. 

14 In righteousness shalt thou be 
established : thou shalt be far from 
oppression; for thou shalt not fear: 
and from terror ; for it shall not come 
near thee. 

15 Behold, they shall surely gather 
together, hut not by me : whosoever 
shall gather together against thee 
shall fall for thy sake. 

16 Behold, I have created the smith 
that bloweth the coals in the fire, and 
that bringeth forth an instrument for 
his work ; and I have created the 
waster to destroy. 

17*[[No weapon that is formed 
against thee shall prosper; and every 
tongue that shall rise against thee in 
judgment thou shalt condemn. This 
is the heritage of the servants of the 
Lord, >■ and their righteousness is of 
me, saith the Lord.

O, a every one that thirsteth, 
come ye to the waters, and he 
that hath no money ; ^ come ye, buy, 
and eat; yea, come, buy wine and 
milk without money and without 
price. 

2 Wherefore do ye f spend money 
for that ivhich is not bread ? and your 
labour for that which satisfieth not? 
hearken diligently unto me, and eat 
ye that which is good, and let your 
soul delight itself in fatness. 

3 Incline your ear, and ^come unto 
me : hear, and your soul shall live ; 
^ and I will make an everlasting co- 
venant with you, even the ^sure 
mercies of David. 

4 Behold, I have given him for '"a 
witness to the people, sa leader and 
commander to the people. 

5 h Behold, thou shalt call a nation 
that thou knowest not, >and nations 
that knew not thee shall run unto 
thee, because of the Lord thy God, 
and for the Holy One of Israel; ''for 
he hath glorified thee. 

6 IT ^ Seek ye the Lord while he 
may be found, call ye upon him

7 ™Let the wicked forsake his w^ay, 
and f the unrighteous man " his 
thoughts : and let him return unto 
the Lord, "and he will have mercy 
upon him ; and to our God, for f he 
will abundantly pardon. 

8 11 P For my thoughts are not your 
thoughts, neither are your ways my 
ways, saith the Lord. 

9 iFor as the heavens are higher 
than the earth, so are my ways higher 
than your ways, and my thoughts 
than your thoughts. 

10 For ""as the rain cometh down, 
and the snow from heaven, and re- 
turneth not thither, but watereth the 
earthj and maketh it bring forth and

sower, and bread to the eater :

9 And li^thou wentest to the king 
with ointment, and didst increase thy 
perfumes, and didst send thy mes- 
sengers far off, and didst debase thy- 
self even unto hell. 

10 Thou art wearied in the great- 
ness of thy way ; ^ yet saidst thou not, 
There is no hope : thou hast found 
the II life of thy hand ; therefore thou 
wast not grieved. 

1 1 And •" of whom hast thou been 
afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, 
and hast not remembered me, nor 
laid it to thy heart? " have not I held 
my peace even of old, and thou fear- 
est me not ? 

12 I will declare thy righteousness, 
and thy works ; for they shall not pro- 
fit thee. 

13 ^ When thou criest, let thy com- 
panies deliver thee ; but the wind 
shall carry them all away ; vanity 
shall take them : but he that putteth 
his trust in me shall possess the land, 
and shall inherit my holy mountain ; 

14 And shall say, ^Cast ye up, cast 
ye up, prepare the way, take up the 
stumbling-block outof theway of my 
people. 

15 For thus saith the high and lofty 
One that inhabiteth eternity, P whose 
name is Holy ; <i I dwell in the high 
and holy place, '"with him also that is 
of a contrite and humble spirit, ^tore 
vive the spirit of the humble, and to 
revive the heart of the contrite ones. 

1 6 t For I will not contend for ever, 
neither will I be always wroth : for 
the spirit should fail before me, and 
the souls ^ which I have made. 

17 For the iniquity of ''his covetous 
ness was I wroth, and smote him : yl 
hid me, and was wroth, ^and he went 
on t frowardly in the way of his 
heart. 

18 1 have seen his ways, and ^will 
heal him : I will lead him also, and 
restore comforts unto him and to ^his 
mourners. 

19 I create <=the fruit of the lips ; 
Peace, peace ^ to him that is far off, 
and to him that is near, saith the 
Lord ; and I will heal him. 

20 ^But the wicked are like the 
troubled sea, when it cannot rest, 
whose waters cast up mire and dirt. 

21 ^ There is no peace, saith my 
God, to the wicked.

I The prophet, bei7ig sent to reprove hypocrisy , 3 
expresseth a counterfeit fast and a true. 8 He 
declareth what promises are due tinio godliness, 
13 and to the keeping of the sabbath. 

RY f aloud, spare not, lift up thy 
voice like a trumpet, and shew 
my people their transgression, and 
the house of Jacob their sins. 

2 Yet they seek me daily, and de- 
light to know my ways, as a nation 
that did righteousness, and forsook 
not the ordinance of their God : they 
ask of me the ordinances of justice : 
they take delight in approaching to 
God. 

3 K =1 Wherefore have we fasted, say 
they, and thou seest not? wherefore 
have "We '' afflicted our soul, and thou 
takest no knowledge ? Behold, in the 
day of your fast ye find pleasure, and 
exact all your || f labours. 

4 ^ Behold, ye fast for strife and de- 
bate, and to smite with the fist of 
wickedness : 1| ye shall not fast as ye 
do this day, to make your voice to be 
heard on high. 

5 Is it <J such a fast that I have 
chosen ? *^ jj a day for a man to afflict 
his soul ? is it to bow down his head 
as a bulrush, and ^to spread sack 
cloth and ashes under him? wilt thou 
call this a fast, and an acceptable day 
to the Lord? 

6 Is not this the fast that I have 
chosen ? to loose the bands of wick- 
edness, g to undo f the heavy burdens, 
and ^ to let the f oppressed go free, 
and that ye break every yoke ? 

7 Is it not ' to deal thy bread to 
the hungry, and that thou bring the 
poor that are j] cast out to thy house ? 
■^when thou seest the naked, that 
thou cover him ; and that thou hide 
not thyself from ' thine own flesh? 

8 TIniThen shall thy light break 
forth as the morning, and thy health 
shall spring forth speedily: and thy 
righteousness shall go before thee; 
"the glory of the Lord f shall be thy 
rere-ward. 

9 Then shalt thou call, and the 
Lord shall answer ; thou shalt cry, 
and he shall say, Here I am. If thou 
take away from the midst of thee the 
yoke, the putting forth of the finger, 
and o speaking vanity; 

10 And if thou draw out thy soul to 
the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted

soul ; then shall thy light rise in ob- 
scurity, and thy darkness be as the 
noon-day : 

11 And the Lord shall guide thee 
continually, and satisfy thy soul in 
f drought, and make fat thy bones : 
and thou shalt be like a watered gar- 
den, and like a spring of water, 
whose waters f fail not. 

12 And thei/ that shall he of thee 
P shall build the old waste places: 
thou shalt raise up the foundations of 
many generations ; and thou shalt be I 
called, The repairer of the breach, 
The restorer of paths to dwell in. 

13 T If 1 thou turn away thy foot; 
from the sabbath, from doing thy 
pleasure on my holy day; and call 
the sabbath a delight, the holy of the 
Lord, honourable ; and shalt honour 
him, not doing thine own ways, nor 
finding thine own pleasure, nor 
speaking thine own words : 

14 ""Then shalt thou delight thyself 
in the Lord; and I will cause thee 
to ^ride upon the high places of the 
earth, and feed thee with the heritage 
of Jacob thy father: 'for the mouth 
of the Lord hath spoken it.

liear: 

2 But your iniquities have separated 
between you and your God, and your

Salvation cometh of God only. 

7 ^ Their feet run to evil, and they 
make haste to shed innocent blood : 
their thoughts are thoughts of iniqui- 
ty ; wasting and f destruction are in 
their paths. 

8 The way of peace they know not: 
and there is no || judgment in their 
goings : 'thev have made them crook- 
ed paths : whosoever goeth therein 
shall not know peace. 

9 TI Therefore is judgment far from 
us, neither doth justice overtake us : 
gwe wait for light, but behold ob- 
scurity ; for brightness, but we walk 
in darkness. 

10 ''We grope for tlie wall like the 
blind, and we gi'ope as if ice had no 
eyes : we stumble at noon-day as in 
the night ; we are in desolate places 
as dead men. 

11 We roar all like bears, and 
'mourn sore like doves: we look for 
judgment, but there is none ; for sal- 
vation, but it is far off from us. 

12 For our transgressions are mul- 
tiplied before thee, and our sins tes- 
tify against us : for our transgres- 
sions are with us; and as for our ini- 
quities, we know them ; 

13 In transgressing and lying a- 
gainst the Lord, and departing away 
from our God, speaking oppression 
and revolt, conceiving and uttering 
•ffrom the heart words of falsehood. 

14 And judgment is turned away 
backward, and justice standeth afar 
off: for truth is fallen in the street, 
and equity cannot enter. 

15 Yea, trutli faileth ; and he that 
departed! from evil ||inaketh himself 
a prey : and the Lord saw it, and 
■j- it displeased him that there was no 
judgment. 

16 H 'And he saw that there was no 
man, and "'wondered that there was 
no intercessor: "therefore his arm 
brought salvation unto liim ; and his 
righteousness, it sustained him. 

17 °For he put on righteousness as 
a breast-plate, and a helmet of salva- 
tion upon his head; and he put on 
the garments of vengeance /r;r cloth- 
ing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak. 

18 p According to their -f deeds, ac- 
cordingly he will repay, fuiy to his 
adversaries, recompense to his ene- 
mies; to the islands he will repay re-

mine own ^arm brought salvation 
unto me ; and my fury, it upheld 
me. 

6 And I will tread down the peo-

Israel, which he hath bestowed on 
them according to his mercies, and

he was their Saviour.

afflicted, 'and the angel of his pre- 
sence saved them: '^in his love and 
in his pity he redeemed them ; and 
Uie bare them, and carried them all 
the days of old. 

ion But they™ rebelled, and " vex- 
ed his Holy Spirit : ° therefore he was 
turned to be their enemy, and he 
fought against them. 

1 1 Then he remembered the days 
of old, Moses, and his people, say- 
ing, Where is he that P brought them 
up out of the sea with the || shepherd

his Holy Spirit within him? 

12 That led them by the right hand 
of Moses ""with his glorious arm, ^di-

make himself an everlasting name? 

13 'That led them through the 
deep as a horse in the wilderness, 
that they should not stumble? 

14 As a beast goeth down into the

him to rest: so didst thou lead thy 
people, "to make thyself a glorious 
name.

and purify themselves in the gardens 
II behind one tree in the midst, eat- 
ing swine's flesh, and the abomina- 
tion, and the mouse, shall be con- 
sumed together, saith the Lord. 

18 For I know their works and their 
thoughts ; it shall come, that I will 
gather all nations and tongues ; and 
they shall come, and see my glorj'. 

19 ^And I will set a sign among 
them, and I will send those that es- 
cape of them unto the nations, to 
Tarshish, Pul, and Lud. that draw 
the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the 
isles afar oft', that have not heard my 
fame, neither have seen my gloiy ; 
'and they shall declare my glory 
among the Gentiles.

bretliren \for an offering unto the 
Lord, out of all nations, upon horses, 
and in chariots, and in |1 litters, and 
upon mules, and upon swift beasts, 
to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith 
the Lord, as the children of Israel 
bnng an offering in a clean vessel 
into the house of the Lord. 

21 And I will also take of them for 
^priests and for Levites, saith the 
Lord. 

22 For as >the new heavens and 
the new earth, which I will make, 
shall remain before me, saith the 
Lord, so shall your seed and your 
name remain. 

23 And ^it shall come to pass, that 
t from one new-moon to another, and 
from one sabbath to another, " shall 
all flesh come to worship before me, 
saith the Lord. 

24 And they shall go forth, and look 
upon ''the carcasses of the men that 
have transgressed against me : for

shall their fire be quenched ; and they 
shall be an abhorring unto all flesh,

^ The Book of the Prophet JEREMIAH. 



CHAP. I. 

1 The time, 3 and the calling of Jeremiah. 11 
His prophetical visio?ts of an almond-rod and 
a seethiug-pot. 15 His heavy message against 
Judah. 17 God encourageih him with his pro- 
mise of assistance. 

THE words of Jeremiah the son 
of Hilkiah, of the priests that 
were ^in Anathoth in the land of 
Benjamin : 

2 To whom the word of the Lord 
came in the days of Josiah the son of 
Amon king of Judah, ''in the thir- 
teenth year of his reign. 

3 It came also in the days of Je- 
hoiakim the son of Josiah king of 
Judah, ''unto the end of the eleventh 
year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah 
king of Judah, <iunto the carrying 
away of Jerusalem captive ^in the 
fifth month. 

4 Then the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

5 Before I ^formed thee in the 
belly, g I knew thee ; and before thou 
earnest forth out of the womb I 
^ sanctified thee, and I f ordained 
thee a prophet unto the nations. 

6 Then said I, ^Ah, Lord God ! 
behold, I cannot speak : for 1 am a 
child. 

7 T[ But the Lord said unto me, 
Say not, I am a child : for thou shalt 
go to all that I shall send thee, and 
J' whatsoever I command thee thou 
shalt speak. 

8 ^Be not afraid of their faces : for 
™I am with thee to deliver thee, saith 
the Lord. 

9 Then the Lord put forth his hand, 
and "touched my mouth. And the 
Lord said unto me, Behold, I have 
"put my words in thy mouth. 

10 FSee, I have this day set thee 
over the nations and over the king- 
doms, to qroot out, and to pull down, 
and to destroy, and to throw down, 
to build, and to plant. 

11 T[ Moreover the word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying, Jere- 
miah, What seest thou ? And I said, 
I see a rod of an almond-tree. 

12 Then said the Lord unto me. 
Thou hast well seen : fori will hasten 
my word to perform it. 

13 And the word of the Lord came 
unto me the second time, saying.

Out of the s north an evil ] shall 
break forth upon all the inhabitants 
of the land. 

15 For lo, I will 'call all the fami-

saith the Lord ; and they shall come, 
and they shall "set every one his 
throne at the entering of the gates of 
Jerusalem, and against all the walls 
thereof round about, and against all 
the cities of Judah. 

16 And I will utter my judgments 
against them touching all their wick- 
edness, ^who have forsaken me, and 
have burned incense unto other gods, 
and worshipped the works of their 
own hands. 

17^ Thou therefore >' gird up thy 
loins, and arise, and speak unto them 
all that I command thee : ^be not 
dismayed at their faces, lest I || con- 
found thee before them. 

18 For behold, I have made thee 
this day ^ a defenced city, and an iron 
pillar, and brazen walls against the 
whole land, against the kings of Ju- 
dah, against the princes thereof, a- 
gainst the priests thereof, and against 
the people of the land. 

19 And they shall fight against 
thee ; but they shall not prevail 
against thee ; ^ for I am with thee, 
saith the Lord, to deliver thee.

O house of Jacob, and all the fami- 
lies of the house of Israel : 

5 "HThus saith the Lord, ^What 
iniquity have your fathers found in 
me, that they are gone far from me, 
&and have walked after vanit}', and 
are become vain ? 

6 Neither said they, "Where is the 
Lord that ^^ brought us up out of the 
land of Eg}-pt, that led us through 
'the wilderness, through a land of 
deserts and of pits, through a land of 
drought, and of the shadow of death, 
through a land that no man passed 
through, and where no man dwelt ? 

7 And I brought you into |i ^a plen- 
tiful countr}', to eat the fruit thereof 
and the goodness thereof ; but when 
ye' entered, ye 'defiled my land, and 
made my heritage an abomination. 

8 The priests said not. Where is the 
Lord? and they that handle the '"law 
knew me not : the pastors also trans- 
gressed against me, ° and the prophets 
prophesied by Baal, and walked after j 
things that °do not profit.

there be such a thing. 

11 fHath a nation changed their 
gods, which are ^yet no gods? 'but 
my people have changed their glor)- 
for ^tJiat which doth not profit. 

12 ^Be astonished, O ye heavens, 
at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye 
very desolate, saith the Lord. 

13 For my people have committed 
two evils ; they have forsaken me the 
y fountain of living waters, and hew-

that can hold no water.

7 pAnd I said after she had done 
all these things, Turn thou unto me. 
But she returned not. And her trea- 
cherous q sister Judah saw it. 

8 And I saw, when "^for all the causes 
whereby backsliding Israel commit- 
ted adultery, I had ^put her away, and 
given her a bill of divorce ; *yet her 
treacherous sister Judah feared not, 
but went and played the harlot also. 

9 And it came to pass through the 
II lightness of her whoredom, that she 
"defiled the land, and committed a- 
dultery with ^stones and with stocks. 

10 And yet for all this, her trea- 
cherous sister Judah hath not turned 
unto me y with her whole heart, but 
f feignedly, saith the Lord. 

11 And the Lord said unto me, 
'^The backsliding Israel hath justified 
herself more than treacherous Judah. 

12 ^Go and proclaim these words 
toward "^the north, and say, Return, 
thou backsliding Israel, saith the 
Lord ; and I will not cause i(nme 
anger to fall upon you: for I am 
''merciful, saith the Lord, and I will 
not keep anger for ever. 

13 cQnly acknowledge thine ini- 
quity, that thou hast transgressed a- 
gainst the Lord thy God, and hast 
d scattered thy ways to the 6 strangers 
f under every green tree, and ye have 
not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord. 

14 Turn, O backsliding children, 

742 



The people confess their sins. 

saith the Lord; ?for I am married 
unto you: and I will take you i^one 
of a city, and two of a family, and 
I will bring you to Zion : 

15 And I will give you 'pastors ac- 
cording to my heart, which shall 
^ feed you with knowledge and un- 
derstanding. 

16 And it shall come to pass, when 
ye be multiplied and increased in the 
land, in those days, saith the Lord, 
they shall say no more, The ark of 
the covenant of the Lord: 'neither 
shall it f come to mind: neither shall 
they remember it; neither shall they 
visit it ; neither shall || that be done 
any more. 

17 At that time they shall call Je- 
rusalem the throne of the Lord; and 
all the nations shall be gathered un- 
to it, ">to the name of the Lord, to 
Jerusalem: neither shall they " walk 
any more after the || imagination of 
their evil heart. 

18 In those days °the house of Ju- 
dah shall walk ||with the house of 
Israel, and they shall come together 
out of the land of P the north to q the 
land that I have || given for an inhe- 
ritance unto your fathers. 

19 But I said. How shall I put thee 
among the children, and give thee ■" a 
t pleasant land, fa goodly heritage 
of the hosts of nations ? and I said. 
Thou shalt call me, "My father; and 
shalt not turn away f from me. 

20 H Surely as a wife treacherously 
departeth from her f husband, so 
'haveye dealttreacherously with me, 
O house of Israel, saith the Lord. 

21 A voice was heard upon "the 
high places, weeping and supplica- 
tions of the children of Israel : for 
they have perverted their way, and 
thev have forgotten the Lord their 
God. 

22 " Return, ye backsliding chil- 
dren, and y I will heal your back- 
slidings. Behold, we come unto thee ; 
for thou art the Lord our God. 

23 ^ Truly in vain is salvation hoped 
for from the \\\\h,andfrom\\\Q multi- 
tude of mountains: ''truly in the Lord 
our God is the salvation of Israel. 

24 ^ For shame hath devoured the 
labour of our fathers from our youth ; 
their flocks and their herds, their 
sons and their (laughters.

ments. 19 A grievous lamentation for the mi 
series of Juda. 

F thou wilt return, O Israel, saith 
the Lord, ^ return unto me : and 
if thou wilt put away thine abomina- 
tions out of my sight, then shalt thou 
not remove. 

2 ^ And thou shalt swear. The Lord 
liveth, "= in truth, in judgment, and 
in righteousness ; '' and the nations 
shall bless themselves in him, and in 
him shall they ^gloiy. 

3 H For thus saith the Lord to the 
men of Judah and Jerusalem, '"Break 
up your fallow ground, and &sow 
not among thoms. 

4 '' Circumcise yourselves to the 
Lord, and take away the foreskins 
of your heart, ye men of Judah and 
inhabitants of Jerusalem ; lest my 
furj' come forth like fire, and burn 
that none can quench it, because of 
the evil of your doings. 

5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish 
in Jerusalem ; and say. Blow ye the 
trumpet in the land: cry. Gather toge- 
ther, and say, 'Assemble yourselves, 
and let us go into the defenced cities. 

6 Set up the standard toward Zion: 
II retire, stay not: for I will bring evil 
from the "^ north, and a great f de- 
struction. 

7 ' The lion is come up from his 
thicket, and '"the destroyer of the 
Gentiles is on his way; he is gone 
forth from his place "to make thy 
land desolate; and\\\y cities shall be 
laid waste, without an inhabitant. 

8 For this "gird you with sack- 
cloth, lament and howl : for the 
fierce anger of the Lord is not turn- 
ed back li-om us. 

9 And it shall come to pass at that 
day, saith the Lord, that the heart of 
the king shall perish, and the heart 
of the princes ; and the priests shall 
be astonished, and the prophets shall 
wonder. 

10 Then said I, Ah. Lord God! 

743 



The prophet lamenle€. liltetly 

P surely thou hast greatly deceived 
this people and Jerusalem, q saying, 
Ye shall have peace ; whereas the 
sword reacheth unto the soul. 

1 1 At that time shall it be said to 
this people and to Jerusalem, ■■ A dry 
wind of the high places in the wilder- 
ness toward the daughter of my peo- 
ple, not to fan, nor to cleanse, 

12 Even lia full wind from those 
places shall come unto me : now also 
^will I tgive sentence against them. 

13 Behold, he shall come up as 
clouds, and ' his chariots shall he ^s 
a whirlwind : " his horses are swifter 
than eagles. Wo unto us 1 for we are 
spoiled. 

14 O Jerusalem, ^ wash thy heart 
from wickedness, that thou mayest 
be saved. How long shall thy vain 
thoughts lodge within thee ? 

ISFor avoice declareth yfromDan, 
and pubhsheth affliction from mount 
Ephraim. 

1 6 Make ye mention to the nations ; 
behold, publish against Jerusalem, 
that watchers come '^from afar coun 
try, and give out their voice against 
the cities of Judah. 

17 a As keepers of a field, are they 
against her round about; because 
she hath been rebellious against me, 
saith the Lord. 

18 ''Thy way and thy doings have 
procured these things unto thee ; this 
is thy wickedness, because it is bit 
ter, because it reacheth unto thy 
heart. 

19 TIMy <=bowels, my bowels 1 1 am 
pained at f my very heart ; my heart 
maketh a noise in me ; I cannot hold 
my peace, because thou hast heard, 
O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, 
the alarm of war. 

20 "^ Destruction upon destruction 
is cried ; for the whole land is spoil 
ed : suddenly are « my tents spoiled, 
and my curtains in a moment. 

21 How long shall I see the stand- 
ard, and hear the sound of the trum- 
pet? 

22 For my people is foolisJi, they 
have not known me ; they are sottish 
children, and they have none under

was h without form, and void; and 
the heavens, and they had no light. 

24 ■ I beheld the mountains, and lo, 
they trembled, and all the hills mov- 
ed lightly. 

25 I beheld, and lo, there was no 
man, and i^all the birds of the hea- 
vens were fled, 

26 I beheld, and lo, the fruitful 
place was a wilderness, and all the 
cities thereof were broken down at 
the presence of the Lord, and by 
his fierce anger. 

27 For thus hath the Lord said, 
The whole land shall be desolate; 
'yet will I not make a full end. 

28 For this "^ shall the earth mourn, 
and "the heavens above be black: 
because I have spoken it, I have pur- 
posed it, and "will not repent, nei- 
ther will I turn back from it. 

29 The whole city shall flee for the 
noise of the horsemen and bowmen ; 
they shall go into thickets, and chmb 
up upon the rocks : every city shall 
be forsaken, and not a man dwell 
therein. 

30 And when thou art spoiled, what 
wilt thou do ? Though thou clothest 
thyself with crimson, though thou 
deckestthee with ornaments of gold, 
P though thou rendest thy f face with 
painting, in vain shalt thou make 
thyself fair: 'ithy lovers will despise 
thee, they will seek thy life. 

31 For I have heard a voice as of 
a woman in travail, and the anguish 
as of her that bringeth forth her first 
child ; the voice of the daughter of 
Zion, that bewaileth herself, that 
>■ spreadeth her hands, saying, Wo 
is me now 1 for my soul is wearied 
because of murderers.

perverseness, 7 fw their adultery, 10 for their 
impiety, Vdfor their contempt of God, 25 and 
for their great corruption in the civil state, 30 
and ecclesiastical. 

RUN ye to and fro through' the 
streets of Jerusalem, and see 
now, and know, and seek in the 
broad places thereof, =>^if ye can find 
a man, ^ if there be any that execut- 
eth judgment, that seeketh the truth ; 
c and I will pardon it. 

2 And ^ though they say, " The Lord 
liveth; surely they f swear falsely. , 

3 O Lord, are not ethine eyes upon

God^s judgments upon the ■pecrple 

the truth ? thou hast ^ stricken them, 
but they have not grieved ; thou hast 
consumed them, hut ' they have re- 
fused to receive correction: they have 
made their faces harder than a rock ; 
they have refused to return. 

4 Therefore I said, Surely these 
are poor ; they are foohsh: for ''they 
know not the way of the Lord, nor 
the judgment of their God. 

5 I will get me unto the great men, 
and will speak unto them; for 'they 
have known the way of the Lord, 
and the judgment of their God : but 
these have altogether "> broken the 
yoke, and burst the bonds. 

6 Wherefore " a lion out of the fo- 
rest shall slay them, « and a wolf of 
the 11 evenings shall spoil them, P a 
leopard shall watch over their cities: 
ever)' one that goeth out thence shall 
be torn in pieces: because their trans- 
gressions are many, artd their back- 
slidings f are increased. 

7 Tf How shall I pardon thee for 
this ? thy children have forsaken me, 
and 1 sworn by them >• that are no 
gods : B when I had fed them to the 
fill], they then committed adulterj% 
and assembled themselves by troops 
in the harlots' houses. 

8 'They were as fed horses in the 
morning : every one "neighed after 
his neighbour's wife. 

9 ^ Shall I not visit for these tilings? 
Baith the Lord : >' and shall not my 
soul be avenged on such a nation as 
this? 

10 TI ^Go ye up upon her walls, and 
destroy ; » but make not a full end : 
take away her battlements ; for they 
are not the Lord's. 

11 For ''the house of Israel and the 
house of J udah have dealt very treach- 
erously against me, saith the Lord. 

12 "5 They have belied the Lord, 
and said, ^ It is not he ; neither shall 
evil come upon us ; « neither shall we 
see sword nor famine : 

13 And the prophets shall become 
wind, and the word is not in them 
thus shall it be done unto them. 

14 Wherefore thus saith the Lord 
God of hosts. Because ye speak this 
word, f behold, I will make my words 
in thy mouth fire, and this people

for their various sins. 

you J^from far, O house of Israel, 
saith the Lord : it is a mighty na- 
tion, it is an ancient nation, a nation 
whose language thou knowest not, 
neither understandestwhat they say. 

16 Their quiver fs as an open sepul- 
chre, they are all mighty men. 

17 And they shall eat up thy 'har- 
vest, and thy bread, which thy sons 
and thy daughters should eat : they 
shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds : 
they shall eat up thy vines and thy 
fig-trees : they shall impoverish thy 
fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, 
with the sword. 

18 Nevertheless, in those days, saith 
the Lord, I ^ will not make a full end 
with you. 

19 TIAnd it shall come to pass, 
when ye shall say, 'Wherefore doeth 
the Lord our God all these things 
unto us ? then shaltthou answer them, 
Like as ye have '" forsaken me, and 
served strange gods in your land, so 
° shall ye serve strangers in a land 
that is not yours. 

20 Declare this in the house of Ja- 
cob, and publish it in Judah, saying, 

21 Hear now this, O "foolish peo- 
ple, and without f understanding ; 
which have eyes, and see not ; which 
have ears, and hear not : 

22 P Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: 
will ye not tremble at my presence, 
which have placed the sand for the 
1 bound of the sea by a perpetual 
decree, that it cannot pass it : and 
though the waves thereof toss them- 
selves, yet can they not prevail ; 
though they roar, yet can they not 
pass over it ? 

23 But this people hath a revolting 
and a rebellious heart ; they are re- 
volted and gone. 

24 Neither say they in their heart, 
Let us now fear the Lord our God, 
I" that giveth rain, both the « former 
and the latter, in his season : ' he re- 
serveth unto us the appointed weeks 
of the harvest. 

25 H "Your iniquities have turned 
away these things, and your sins have 
withholden good things from you. 

26 For among my people are found 
wicked men : |1 they '^ lay wait, as he 
that setteth snares ; they set a trap, 
they catch men. 

27 As a II cage is full of birds, so 

745 



JudaMs enemies eager to fall up on her. 

are their houses full of deceit : there- 
fore they are become great^and wax- 
en rich. 

28 They are waxen y fat, they shine : 
yea, they overpass the deeds of the 
wicked : they judge not ^the cause, 
the cause of the fatherless, ^ yet they 
prosper ; and the right of the needy 
do they not judge. 

29 ''Shall I not visit for these 
things ? saith the Lord : shall not 
my soul be avenged on such a nation 
as this ? 

30 ^ II A wonderful and <= horrible 
thing is committed in the land; 

31 The prophets prophesy ''falsely, 
and the priests || bear rule by their 
means ; and my people ^love to have 
it so : and what will ye do in the end 
thereof? 

CHAP. VI. 

1 The enemies sent against Judah 4 enconrage 
themselves. 6 God setteth them on work because 
of their sins. 9 The prophet lamenteth the judg- 
ments of God because of their sins. 1 8 He pro- 
cla.imeih God's wrath. 26 He calleth the people 
to mourn for the judgment on their sins. 

" YE children of Benjamin, ga- 
ther yourselves to flee out of 
the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the 
trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign 
of fire in aBeth-haccerem : ^ for evil 
appeareth out of the north, and great 
destruction. 

2 I have likened the daughter of Zi- 
on to a II comely and delicate woman. 

3 The shepherds with their flocks 
shall come unto her ; <= they shall 
pitch their tents against her round 
about ; they shall feed eveiy one in 
his place. 

4 '^ Prepare ye war against her ; a- 
rise, and let us go up ^at noon. Wo 
unto us ! for the day goeth away, for

The evils that would follow. 

lest I make thee desolate, a land not 
inhabited. 

9 H Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
They shall thoroughly glean the rem- 
nant of Israel as a vine : turn back 
thy hand as a grape-gatherer int(.> 
the baskets. 

10 To whom shall I speak, and give 
warning, that they may hear? Behold, 
their 'ear is uncircumcised, and they 
cannot hearken : behold, "^the word 
of the Lord is unto them a reproach ; 
they have no delight in it. 

1 1 Therefore I am full of the fury 
of the Lord ; 'I am weary with hold- 
ing in: I will pour it out ™upon the 
children abroad, and upon the assem- 
bly of young men together : for even 
the husband with the wife shall be 
taken, the aged with him that is full 
of days. 

12 And "their houses shall be turn- 
ed unto others, with their fields and 
wives together: for I will stretch out 
my hand upon the inhabitants of the 
land, saith the Lord. 

13 For from the least of them even 
unto the greatest of them every one 
is given to ° covetousness ; and from 
the prophet even unto the priest every 
one dealeth falsely. 

14 They have P healed alsathe fhurt 
of the daughter of my people slight- 
ly, q saying, Peace, peace ; when there 
is no peace. 

15 Were they '' ashamed when they 
had committed abomination ? nay, 
they were not at all ashamed, neither 
could they blush ; therefore they shall 
fall among them that fall : at the 
time that I visit them they shall be 
cast down, saith the Lord. 

16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye 
in the ways, and see, and ask for the 
^old paths, where is the good way, 
and walk therein, and ye shall find 
t rest for your souls. But they said, 
We will not walk therein. 

17 Also I set "watchmen over you, 
saying, Hearken to the sound of the 
trumpet. But they said, We will not 
hearken. 

18 Ti Therefore hear, ye nations, and 
know, O congregation, what is a- 
mong them. 

19 ^Hear, O earth: Behold, I will 
bring evil upon this people, even ythe 
fruit of their thoughts, because they 

74 G 



God^ s judgments proclaimed. 

have not hearkened unto my words, 
nor to my law, but rejected it. 

20 ^ To what pui'pose cometh there 
to me incense " from Sheba, and the 
sweet cane from a far country ? i^your 
burnt-offerings are not acceptable, 
nor your sacrifices sweet unto me. 

21 Therefore thus saith the Lord, 
Behold, I will lay stumbling-blocks 
before this people, and the fathers 
and the sons together shall fall upon 
them; the neighbour and his friend 
shall perish. 

22 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a 
people Cometh from the '^ north coun- 
txy, and a great nation shall be raised 
from the sides of the earth. 

23 They shall lay hold on bow and 
spear ; they are cruel, and have no 
mercy ; their voice "^ roareth like the 
sea ; and they ride upon horses, set 
in aiTay as men for war against tliee, 

daughter of Zion. 

24 We have heard the fame there- 
of: our hands wax feeble : ^ anguish 
hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of 
a woman in travail. 

25 Go not forth into the field, nor 
walk by the way ; for the sword of 
the enemy and fear is on eveiy side. 

26 HO daughter of my people, ("gird 
thee with sackcloth, &and wallow thy- 
self in ashes : ^make thee mourning, 
as for an only son, most bitter lamen- 
tation : for the spoiler shall suddenly 
come upon us. 

27 I have set thee /or a tower and 
' a fortress among my people, that thou 
mayest know and try their way. 

28 ''They are all grievous revolters, 
'walking with slanders: they are 
""brass and iron ; they are all cor- 
rupters. 

29 The bellows are burned, the lead 
is consumed of the fire ; the founder 
melteth in vain : for the wicked are 
not plucked away. 

30 "II Reprobate silver shall men 
call them, because the Lord hath re- 
jected them.

1 Jeremiah is .tent to call for true repentance, to

He threa/eneth them for their idolatry. 21 He 
rejecteth the sacrifice! of the disobedient. 29 
He exitorteth to mourn for their abominations 
in Tophet, 32 and the judgments for the same.

The Jews called to repentance. 

2 =1 Stand in the gate of the Lord's 
house, and proclaim there this M'ord, 
and say, Hear the word of the Lord, 
all ye o/ Judah, that enter in at these 
gates to worship the Lord. 

3 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
God of Israel, ''Amend your ways 
and your doings, and I will cause you 
to dwell in this place. 

4 <^ Trust ye not in lying words, say- 
ing, The temple of the Lord, The 
temple of the Lord, The temple of 
the Lord, are these. 

5 For if ye thoroughly amend your 
ways and your doings ; if ye thorough- 
ly •i execute judgment between a man 
and his neighbour; 

6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the 
fatherless, and the widow, and shed 
not innocent blood in this place, ^ nei- 
ther walk after other gods to your 
hurt ; 

7 '"Then will I cause you to dwell 
in this place, in & the land that I gave 
to your fathers, for ever and ever. 

8 Tl Behold, ^ye trust in 'lying 
words, that cannot profit. 

9 ''Will ye steal, murder, and com- 
mit adulter}', and swear falsely, and 
bum incense unto Baal, and 'walk 
after other gods whom ye know not , 

10 "^And come and stand before me 
in this house, f" which is called by 
my name, and say. We are delivered 
to do all these abominations ? 

11 Is othis house, which is called 
by my name, become a i' den of rob- 
bers in your eyes ? Behold, even I 
have seen it, saith the Lord. 

12 But go ye now unto <i my place 
which was in Shiloh, ■■ where I set my 
name at the first, and see »what I did 
to it for the wickedness of my people 
Israel. 

1 3 And now, because ye have done 
all these works, saith the Lord, and 
I spake unto you, ' rising up early and 
speaking, but ye heard not; and I 
"called you, but ye answered not ; 

14 Th'erefbre will I do unto this 
house, which is called by my name, 
wherein ye trust, and unto the place 
which I gave to you and to your fa- 
thers, as I have done to ^ Shiloh. 

15 And I will cast you out of my 
sight, >■ as I have cast out all your 
brethren, ^ even the whole seed of 
Ephraim.

God Ihreateneth the Jews' idolatry. 

16 Therefore ^^pray not thou forthis 
people, neither hft up cry nor prayer 
for them, neither make intercession 
to me: ^^for I will not hear thee. 

17 TI Seest thou not what they do in 
the cities of Judah and in the streets 
of Jerusalem ? 

18c The children gather wood, and 
the fathers kindle the fire, and the 
women knead their dough, to make 
cakes to the || queen of heaven, and 
to "^pour out drink-offerings unto 
other gods, that they may provoke 
me to anger. 

1 9 e Do they provoke me to anger ? 
saith the Lord : do they not provoke 
themselves to the confusion of their 
own faces ? 

20 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God ; Behold, mine anger and my 
fury shall be poured out upon this 
place, upon man, and upon beast, and 
upon the trees of the field, and upon 
the fruit of the ground ; and it shall 
burn, and shall not be quenched. 

21 TI Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel ; f Put your burnt- 
offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat 
flesh. 

22 g For I spake not unto your fa- 
thers, nor commanded them in the 
day that I brought them out of the 
land of Egypt, f concerning burnt-of- 
ferings or sacrifices : 

23 But this thing commanded I 
them, saying, ^ Obey my voice, and 
i I will be your God, and ye shall be 
my people : and walk ye in all the 
ways that I have commanded you, 
that it may be well unto you. 

24 '^But they hearkened not, nor in 
clined their ear, but • walked in the 
counsels and in the || imagination of 
their evil heart, and f ™ went back- 
ward, and not forward. 

25 Since the day that your fathers 
came forth out of the land of Egypt 
unto this day, I have even " sent unto 
you all my servants the prophets, 
°daily rising up early and sending 
them : 

26 P Yet they hearkened not unto 
me, nor inclined their ear, but qhard- 
ened their neck : ■■ they did worse 
than their fathers. 

27 Therefore ^ thou shalt speak all 
these words unto them ; but thej' 
will not hearken to thee : thou shalt

31 And they have built the ='high 
places of Tophet, which is in the val- 
ley of the son of Hinnom, to a^burn 
their sons and their daughters in the

bury in Tophet, till there be no place. 

33 And the *= carcasses of this people 
shall be meat for the fowls of the hea-

TAe prophet heicaileth the sins 

3 And cthey bend their tongues 
like their bow/o?- hes: but they are 
not vahant for the truth upon the 
earth ; for they proceed from evil to 
evil, and they "^know not me, saith 
the Lord. 

4 6 Take ye heed every one of his 
II neighbour, and trust ye not in any 
brother : for every brother vi^ill utterly 
supplant, and every neighbour will 
f walk with slanders. 

5 And they will || deceive every one 
his neighbour, and will not speak the 
truth : they have taught their tongue 
to speak lies, and weary themselves 
to commit iniquity. 

6 Thy habitation is in the midst 
of deceit ; through deceit they refuse 
to know me, saith the Lord. 

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord of 
hosts. Behold, s I will melt them, and 
try them ; ^ for how shall I do for the 
daughter of my people ? 

8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot 
out; it speaketh i deceit : one speak- 
eth 1^ peaceably to his neighbour with 
his mouth, but f in heart he layeth 
II his wait. 

9 ^ 1 Shall I not visit them for these 
things? saith the Lord: shall not 
my soul be avenged on such a nation 
as this ? 

10 For the mountains will I take up 
a weeping and wailing, and ™for the 
II hal)!tations of the wilderness a la- 
mentation, because they are || burned 
up, so that none can pass through 
them ; neither can men hear the voice 
of the cattle : f "both the fowl of the 
heavens and the beast are fled ; they 
are gone. 

11 And I will make Jerusalem 
"heaps, and P a den of dragons; and 
I will make the cities of Judah f de- 
solate, without an inhabitant. 

12 "IF 1 Who 15 the wise man, that 
may understand this? and who is he 
to whom the mouth of the Lord hath 
spoken, that he may declare it, for 
what the land perisheth and is burn- 
ed up like a wilderness, that none 
passeth through ? 

13 And the Lord saith. Because 
they have forsaken my law which I 
set before them, and have not obeyed 
my voice, neither walked therein ; 

14 But have >■ walked after the || ima- 
gination of their own heart, and after

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord

"with wormwood, and give them 
water of gall to drink. 

16 1 will ■"'scatter them also among

send a sword after them, till I have

17 TIThus saith the Lord of hosts, 
Consider ye, and call for ^the mourn- 
ing women, that they may come; and 
send for cunning women, that they 
may come : 

18 And let them make haste, and 
take up a wailing for us, that '^ our 
eyes may run down with tears, and 
our eyelids gush out with waters. 

19 For a voice of wailing is heard 
out of Zion, How are we spoiled ! we 
are greatly confounded, because we 
have forsaken the land, because ^our 
dwellings have cast us out. 

20 Yet hear the word of the Lord, 
O ye women, and let your ear receive 
the word of his mouth, and teach your 
daughters wailing, and everyone her 
neighbour lamentation. 

2 1 For deathis come up into our win-

and the young men from the streets. 

22 Speak, Thus saith the Lord, 
Even the carcasses of men shall fall 
^ as dung upon the open field, and as 
the handful after the harvest-man, 
and none shall gather them. 

23 TIThus saith the Lord, ^Let not 
the wise man glory in his wisdom, 
neither let the mighty man glory in 
his might, let not the rich man glory 
in his riches : 

24 But flet him that glorieth, glory

1 TTie unequal comparison of God and idols. 17 
The prophet exhorieth to flee from the calamity 
to come. 19 He lamenteih the spoil of the ta- 
bernacle by foolish pastors. 23 He maketh an 
humble supplication. 

HEAR ye the word which the 
Lord speaketh unto you, O 
house of Israel : 

2 Thus saith the Lord, ^ Learn not 
the way of the heathen, and be not 
dismayed at the signs of heaven ; for 
the heathen are dismayed at them. 

3 For the f customs of the people 
are vain : for ^ one cutteth a tree out 
of the forest, the work of the hands 
of the workman, with the axe. 

4 They deck it with silver and with 
gold ; they = fasten it with nails and 
with hammers, that it move not. 

5 They are upright as the palm-tree, 
•"but speak not: they must needs be 
« borne, because they cannot go. Be 
not afraid of them ; for *" they cannot 
do evil, neither also is it in them to 
do good. 

6 Forasmuch as there is none e like 
unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, 
and thy name is great in might. 

7 '' Who would not fear thee, O 
King of nations? for || to thee doth 
it appertain: forasmuch as 'among 
all the wise men of the nations, and 
in all their kingdoms, there is none 
like unto thee. 

8 But they are f altogether ■< brutish 
and foolish : the stock is a doctrine 
of vanities. 

9Silver spread into plates is brought 
from Tarshish, and 'gold fromUphaz, 
the work of the workman, and of 
the hands of the founder : blue and 
purple is their clothing: they are all 
" the work of cunning men. 

10 But the Lord is the ftrue God, 
he is othe living God, and an fp ever- 
lasting King: at his wrath the earth 
shall tremble, and the nations shall 
not be able to abide his indignation. 

11 f Thus shall ye say unto them, 
iThe gods that have not made the 
heavens and the earth, even ■'they 
shall perish from the earth, and from 
under these heavens.

The spoil of the tabernacle lamented. 

12 He s hath made the earth by his 
power, he hath * established the world 
by his wisdom, and "hath stretched 
out the heavens by his discretion. 

13 ^When he uttereth his voice, 
there is a jj multitude of waters in the 
heavens, and yhe causeth the vapours 
to ascend from the ends of the earth; 
he maketh lightnings || with rain, and 
bringeth forth the wind out of his 
treasures. 

14 ^Every man || is ^brutish in his 
knowledge : '' ever}' founder is con- 
founded by the graven image : "^ for 
his molten image is falsehood, and 
there is no breath in them. 

15 They are vanity, and the work 
of errors : in the time of their vi- 
sitation <^they shall perish. 

16 "The portion of Jacob is not 
like them : tbi- he is the former of all 
things; and ''Israel is the rod of his 
inheritance: sThe Lord of hosts is 
his name. 

17 TI i> Gather up thy wares out of 
the land, O f inhabitant of the for- 
tress. 

18 For thus saith the Lord; Be- 
hold, I will ' sling out the inhabit- 
ants of the land at this once, and will 
distress them ''that they may find 
it so. 

19 If 'Wo is me for my hurt! my 
wound is grievous: but I said, "^ Truly 
this is a grief, and " I must bear it. 

20 " My tabernacle is spoiled, and all 
my cords are broken : my children are 
gone forth of me, and they are not : 
there is none to stretch forth my tent 
any more, and to set up my curtains. 

21 For the pastors are become brut- 
ish, and have not sought the Lord : 
therefore they shall not prosper, and 
all their flocks shall be scattered. 

22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is 
come, and a great commotion out of 
the P north country, to make the ci- 
ties of Judah desolate, and a i den of 
dragons. 

23 If O Lord, I know that the 
■"way of man is not in himself: it is 
not in man that walketh to direct 
his steps. 

24 O Lord, ^coiTect me, but with 
judgment; not in thine anger, lest 
thou t bring me to nothing. 

25 1 Pour out thy fury upon the 
heathen "that know thee not, and

I Jeremiah proclaimeth God' s covenant, Z rehuk- 
eth the Jews' disobeying thereof, II prophesieih 
evils to come upon them, 18 and upon the men 
of Anathoth,for conspiring to kill Jeremiah. 

THE word that came to Jeremiah 
from the Lord, saying, 

2 Hear ye the words of this cove- 
nant, and speak unto the men of Ju- 
dah, and to the inhabitants of Jeru- 
salem ; 

3 And say thou unto them, Thus 
saiththe Lord God of Israel; ^Curs- 
ed be the man that obeyeth not the 
words of this covenant, 

4 Which I commanded your fathers 
in the day that I brought them forth 
out of the land of Egypt, ^ from the 
iron furnace, saying, = Obey my voice, 
and do them, according to all which 
I command you: so shall ye be my 
people, and I will be your God : 

5 That I may perform the ^ oath 
which I have sworn unto your fa 
thers, to give them a land flowing 
with milk and honey, as it is this 
day. Then answered I, and said, 
•|- So be it, O Lord. 

6 Then the Lord said unto me 
Proclaim all these words in the cities 
of Judah, and in the streets of Jeru- 
salem, saying. Hear ye the words of 
this covenant, <= and do them. 

7 For I earnestly protested unto your 
fathers in the dayi/m^I brought them 
up out of the land of Egypt, evenun- 
to this day, ^ rising early and protest- 
ing, saying, Obey my voice. 

8 eYet they obeyed not, nor in- 
clined their ear, but '' walked every 
one in the || imagination of their evil 
heart: therefore I will bring upon 
them all the words of this covenant, 
which I commanded them to do ; but 
they did them not. 

9 And the Lord said unto me, ' A 
conspiracy is found among the men 
of Judah, and among the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem. 

10 They are turned back to ''the 
iniquities of their forefathers, which 
refused to hear my words ; and they 
went after other gods to serve them :

inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and "> cry 
unto the gods unto whom they offer 
incense : but they shall not save them 
at all in the time of their f trouble. 

1 3 For according to the number of 
thy " cities were thy gods, O Judah ; 
and according to the number of the 
streets of Jerusalem have ye set up 
altars to that f shameful thing, even 
altars to burn incense unto Baal. 

14 Therefore °pray not thou for 
this people, neither lift up a cry or 
prayer for them : for I will not hear 
them in the time that they cry unto 
me for their f trouble. 

1 5 Pf What hath my belovedlo do in 
my house, seeing she hath 1 wrought 
lewdness with many ; and ^ the holy 
flesh is passed from thee ? || when 
thou doest evil, then thou ^rejoicest. 

16 The Lord called thy name, 'A 
green olive-tree, fair, and of goodly 
fruit : with the noise of a great tu- 
mult he hath kindled fire upon it, 
and the branches of it are broken. 

17 For the Lord of hosts, "that 
planted thee, hath pronounced evil 
against thee, for the evil of the house 
of Israel and of the house of Judah, 
which they have done against them- 
selve-s to provoke me to anger in of- 
fering incense unto Baal. 

18 ■[[ And the Lord hath given me 
knowledge of it, and I know it: then 
thou shewedst me their doings. 

19 But I was like a lamb or an ox 
that is brought to the slaughter ; and 

1 knew not that ^ they had devised 
devices against me, saying, Let us 
destroy f the tree with the fruit 
thereof, y and let us cut him oflffrom 

2 the land of the living, that his name 
may be no more remembered. 

20 But, O Lord of hosts, that judg- 
est righteously, that ^triest the reins 
and the heart, let me see thy ven- 
geance on them : for unto thee have 
I revealed my cause. 

21 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
of the men of Anathoth, ''that seek 

752 



thy life, saying, <= Prophesy not in the 
name of the Lord, that thou die not 
by our hand : 

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord of 
hosts, Behold, I will f punish them : 
the young men shall die by the sword ; 
their sons and their daughters shall 
die by famine : 

23 And there shall be no remnant 
of them : for I will bring evil upon 
the men of Anathoth, ei-ere'^the year

2 So I got a girdle according to the 
word of the Lord, and put it on my 
loins. 

3 And the word of the Lord came 
unto me the second time, saying, 

4 Take the girdle that thou hast 
got, which is upon thy loins, and 
arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it 
there in a hole of the rock. 

5 So I went, and hid it by Euphra- 
tes, as the Lord commanded me. 

6 And it came to pass after many 
days, that the Lord said unto me, 
Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the 
girdle from thence, which I com- 
manded thee to hide there. 

7 Then I went to Euphrates, and 
digged, and took the girdle from the 
place where I had hid it : and be- 
hold, the girdle was marred, it was 
profitable tor nothing. 

8 Then the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

9 Thus saith the Lord, After this 
manner ^^will I mar the pride of Ju- 
dah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. 

10 This evil people, which refuse to 
hear my words, which ^walk in the 
i! imagination of their heart, and walk 
after other gods, to serve them, and 
to worship them, shall even be as this 
girdle, which is good for nothing. 

1 1 For as the girdle cleaveth to the 
loins of a man, so have I caused to

Israel and the whole house of Judah, 
saith the Lord ; that "they might be

to Jeremiah concerning fthe 
dearth. 

2 Judah moumeth, and ^the gates 
thereof languish; they are •'black 
unto the ground; and ^^the crj' of 
Jerusalem is gone up. 

3 And their nobles have sent their 
little ones to the waters : they came 
to the pits, and found no water ; they 
returned with their vessels empty ; 
they were "^ ashamed and confound- 
ed, ^and covered their heads. 

4 Because the ground is chapt, for 
there was no rain in the earth, the 
ploughmen were ashamed, they co- 
vered their heads. 

5 Yea, the hind also calved in the 
field, and forsook it, because there 
was no grass. 

6 And ("the wild asses did stand in 
the high places, they snuffed up the 
wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, 
because there v:as no grass. 

7 TI O Lord, though our iniquities 
testify against us, do thou it pfor thy 
name's sake: for our backslidings are 
many ; we have sinned against thee.

thereof in time of trouble, why should- 
est thou be as a stranger in the land,

9 Why shouldest thou be as a man 
astonished, as a mighty man ' that can- 
not save ? yet thou, O Lord, ^art in

by thy name ; leave us not. 

10 *ti Thus saith the Lord unto this 
people, 'Thus have they loved to 
wander, they have not refrained their 
feet, therefore the Lord doth not ac- 
cept them ; "^he will now remember

behold, the prophets say unto them, 
Ye shall not see the sword, neither 
shall ye have famine ; but I will give 
you t assured peace in this place. 

14 Then the Lord said unto me, 
sThe prophets prophesy lies in my 
name : ' I sent them not, neither have 
I commanded them, neither spake 
unto them : they prophesy unto you 
a false vision and divination, and a 
thing of nought, and the deceit of 
their heart. 

15 Therefore tlius saith the Lord 
concerning the prophets that pro- 
phesy in my name, and I sent them 
not, " yet they say. Sword and famine 
shall not be in this land ; By sword 
and famine shall those prophets be 
consumed. 

16 And the people to whom they 
prophesy shall be cast out in the 
streets of Jerusalem, because of the 
famine, and the sword ; '^ and they 
shall have none to bury them, them, 
their wives, nor their sons, nor their 
daughters : fori will pour their wick- 
edness upon them. 

17 If Therefore ihou shall say this 
word unto them ; rLet mine eyes run 
down with tears night and day, and 
let them not cease: ^for the virgin 
daughter of my people is broken with 
a great breach, with a very grievous 
blow. 

18 If I go forth into ^the field, then 
behold the slain with the sword ! and 
if I enter into the city, then behold 
them that are sick with famine ! yea, 
both the prophet and the priest || go 
about into a land that they know not. 

19 ''Hast thou utterly rejected Ju- 
dah? hath thy soul loathed Zion? Why 
hast thou smitten us, and ^ there is no 
healing for us? «• we looked for peace, 
and there is no good ; and for the

spite, receiveih a promise for himselj, 12 and a 
threatening for them. 15 He prayelh, 19 and

THEN said the Lord unto me, 
'^Though '^ Moses and "^Samuel 
stood before me, yet my mind could 
not be toward this people : cast them 
out of my sight, and let them go forth. 

2 And it shall come to pass, if they

3 And I v.'ill ^ appoint over them four

4 And 1 1 will cause them to be 
^removed into all kingdoms of the 
earth, because of ^Manasseh the son

ghost ; Pher sun is gone down while 
it loas yet day : she hath been asham-

of them will I deliver to the sword be- 
fore their enemies, saith the Lord. 

10 ^ 1 Wo is me, my mother, that 
thou hast borne me a man of strife 
and a man of contention to the whole 
earth ! I have neither lent on usury, 
nor men have lent to me on usury ; 
yet every one of them doth curse me. 

1 1 The Lord said. Verily it shall be 
well with thy remnant ; verily ||I will 
cause ''the enemy to entreat thee well 
in the time of evil and in the time of 
affliction. 

12 Shall iron break the northern 
iron and the steel ? 

13 Thy substance and thy treasures 
will I give to the s spoil without price, 
and that for all thy sins, even in all 
thy borders. 

14 And I will make thee to pass 
with thine enemies ^into a land which 
thou knowest not : for a "fire is kin- 
dled in mine anger, which shall burn 
upon you, 

15 TIO Lord, ^ thou knowest: re- 
member me, and visit me, and y re- 
venge me of my persecutors ; take 
me not away in thy long-suffering : 
know that ^for thy sake I have suf- 
fered rebuke, 

16 Thy words were found, and I 
did ''eat them ; and ^thy word was 
unto me the joy and rejoicing of 
my heart : for f I am called by thy

17 <=I sat not in the assembly of the

because of thy hand : for thou hast 
filled me w^ith indignation.

unto me, saying, 

2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, 
neither shalt thou have sons nor 
daughters in this place. 

3 For thus saith the Lord con- 
cerning the sons and concerning the 
daughters that are born in this place, 
and concerning their mothers that 
bare them, and concerning their fa- 
thers that begat them in this land : 

4 They shall die of ^^ grievous deaths ; 
they shall not be ''lamented ; neither 
shall they be buried ; hut they shall 
be =as dung upon the face of the 
earth: and they shall be consumed 
by the sword, and by famine ; and 
their ^ carcasses shall be meat for the 
fowls of heaven, and for the beasts 
of the earth. 

5 For thus saith the Lord, ^Enter 
not into the house of || mourning, nei- 
ther go to lament nor bemoan them : 
for I have taken away my peace from 
this people, saith the Lord, even 
loving-kindness and mercies. 

G Both the great and the small shall 
die in this land : they shall not be 
buried, 'neither shall men lament for 
them, nor fe' cut themselves, nor ''make 
themselves bald for them : 

7 Neither shall men || tear themselves 
for them in mourning, to comfort them 
for the dead ; neither shall men give 
them the cup of consolation to ' drink 
for their father or for their mother. 

8 Thou shalt not also go into the 
house of feasting, to sit with them to 
eat and to drink. 

9 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel; Behold, H will 
cause to cease out of this place in 
your eyes, and in your days, the voice 
of mirth, and the voice of gladness, 
the voice of the bridegroom, and the

these words, and they shall say unto 
thee, ^Wherefore hath the Lord pro- 
nounced all this great evil against 
us ? or what is oui' iniquity ? or what 
is our sin that we have committed 
against the Lord our God? 

11 Then shalt thou say unto them, 
""Because your fathers have forsaken 
me, saith the Lord, and have walk- 
ed after other gods, and have served 
them, and have worshipped them, 
and have forsaken me, and have not 
kept my law ; 

12 And ye have done "worse than 
your fathers ; for, behold, °ye walk 
every one after the || imagination of 
his evil heart, that they may not 
hearken unto me: 

13 P Therefore will I cast you out 
of this land <i into a land that ye know 
not, neither ye nor your fathers ; and 
there shall ye serve other gods day 
and night ; where I will not shew you 
favour. 

14 "[[Therefore behold, the ""days 
come, saith the Lord, that it shall 
no more be said. The Lord liveth, 
that brought up the children of Is- 
rael out of the land of Egypt ; 

15 But, The Lord liveth, that 
brought up tiic children of Israel 
from the land of the north, and from 
all the lands whither he had driven 
them : and *I will bring them again 
into their land that I gave unto their 
fathers. 

16 H Behold, I will send for many 
'fishers, saith the Lord, and they 
shall fish them ; and after will I send 
for many hunters, and they shall 
hunt them from every mountain, 
and from every hill, and out of the 
holes of the rocks. 

17 For mine "eyes are upon all 
their ways : they are not hid from 
my face, neither is their iniquity hid 
from mine eyes. 

18 And first I will recompense their 
iniquity and their sin ^double; be- 
cause ythey have defiled my land, 
they have filled mine inheritance with 
the carcasses of their detestable and 
abominable things. 

19 O Lord, ^my strength and my 
fortress, and ''my refuge in the day 
of affliction, the Gentiles shall come 
unto thee from the ends of the earth,

16 As for me, ^I have not hastened

Go and stand in the gate of the chil- 
drenof the people, whereby the kings 
of Judalt come in, and by the which 
they go out, and in all the gates of 
Jerusalem ; 

20 And say unto them, f Hear ye

den on the sabbath day, nor bring it 
in by the gates of Jerusalem ; 

22 Neither carry forth a burden out

neither do ye any work, but hallow 
ye the sabbath day, as I ''commanded

24 And it shall come to pass, if ye 
diligently hearken unto me, saith the 
Lord, to bring in no burden through 
the gates of this city on the sabbath 
day, but hallow the sabbath day, to 
do no work therein ; 

25 ^ Then shall there enter into the 
gates of this city kings and princes 
sitting upon the throne of David, 
riding in chariots and on horses, they 
and their princes, the men of Judah, 
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem : 
and this city shall remain for ever. 

26 And they shall come from the 
cities of Judah, and from 'the places 
about Jerusalem, and from the land 
of Benjamin, and from "Hhe plain, 
and from the mountains, and from 
" the south, bringing burnt-offerings, 
and sacrifices, and meat-offerings, 
and incense, and bringing ° sacrifices 
of praise, unto the house of the 
Lord. 

27 But if ye will not hearken unto 
me to hallow the sabbath day, and 
not to bear a burden, even entering 
in at the gates of Jerusalem on the 
sabbath day ; then Pwill I kindle a 
fire in the gates thereof, land it shall 
devour the palaces of Jerusalem, 
and it shall not be quenched.

clay was marred in the hand of the

Judah threatened with judgments. 

7 At what instant I shall speak 
concerning a nation, and concerning 
a kingdom, to •= pluck up, and to pull 
down, and to destroy it : 

8 •'If that nation against whom I 
have pronounced, turn from their 
evil, e I -will repent of the evil that I 
thought to do unto them. 

9 And at what instant I shall speak 
concerning a nation, and concerning 
a kingdom, to build and to plant 
it; 

10 If it do evil in my sight, that it 
obey not my voice, then I will re- 
pent of the good, wherewith I said 
I would benefit them. 

1 1 H Now therefore go to, speak to 
the men of Judah, and to the inha- 
bitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus 
saith the Lord; Behold, I frame evil 
against you, and devise a device 
against you : 'return ye now every 
one from his evil way, and make 
your ways and your doings good. 

12 And they said, s There is no 
hope : but we will walk after our own 
devices, and we will every one do 
the imagination of his evil heart. 

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord; 
••Ask ye now among the heathen, 
who hath heard such things : the 
virgin of Israel hath done 'a very 
horrible thing. 

14 Will a man leave 1| the snow of 
Lebanon ivhich comet h from the rock 
of the field ? or shall the cold flowing 
waters that come from another place 
be forsaken? 

15 Because my people hath forgot- 
ten ''me, they have burned incense to 
' vanity, and they have caused them 
to stumble in their ways from the 
™ ancient paths, to walk in paths, in 
a way not cast up ; 

16 To make their land "desolate, 
and a perpetual » hissing; everyone 
that passeth thereby shall be aston- 
ished, and wag his head. 

17 pI will scatter them 'i as with an 
east wind before the enemy ; ""I will 
shew them the back, and not the face, 
in the day of their calamity. 

18 1 Then said they, « Come, and 
let us devise devices against Jere- 
miah; tfor the law shall not perish 
from the priest, nor counsel from the 
wise, nor the word from the prophet. 
Come, and let us smite him ||with

hearken to the voice of them that 
contend with me. 

20 "Shall evil be recompensed for 
good 1 for ^ they have digged a pit 
lor my soul. Remember that I stood 
before thee to speak good for them, 
audio turnaway thy wrath fi'om them. 

21 Therefore y deliver up their chil-

their hlood by the force of the sword ; 
and let their wives be bereaved of 
their children, and he widows ; and 
let their men be put to death ; let

in battle. 

22 Let a cry be heard from their 
houses, when thou shalt bring a 
troop suddenly upon them : for ^they 
have digged a pit to take me, and 
hid snares for my feet. 

23 Yet, Lord, thou knowest all

a^ forgive not their iniquity, neither 
blot out their sin from thy sight, but

desolation of the Jews is foreshewed. 

^which I commanded not, nor spake 
it, neither came it into my mind: 

6 Therefore, behold, the days come, 
saith the Lord, that this place shall 
no more be called Tophet, nor ''The 
valley of the son of Hinnom, but 
The valley of Slaughter. 

7 And I will make void the counsel 
of Judah and Jerusalem in this place ; 
■ and I will cause them to fall by the 
sword before their enemies, and by 
the hands of them that seek their 
lives: and their "^ carcasses will I give 
to be meat for the fowls of the hea- 
ven, and for the beasts of the earth. 

8 And I will make this city ' deso- 
late, and a hissing : every one that 
passeth thereby shall be astonished 
and hiss because of all the plagues 
thereof. 

9 And I will cause them to eat the 
■" flesh of their sons and the flesh of 
their daughters, and they shall eat 
every one the flesh of his friend in 
the siege and straitness wherewith 
their enemies, and they that seek 
their lives, shall straiten them. 

10 " Then shalt thou break the bot- 
tle in the sight of the men that go 
with thee, 

1 1 And shalt say unto them, Thus 
saith the Lord of hosts ; °Even so 
will I break this people and this city, 
as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that 
cannot f be made whole again : and 
they shall Pbury them in Tophet, till 
there he no place to bury. 

12 Thus will I do unto this place, 
saith the Lord, and to the inhabit- 
ants thereof, and even make this city 
as Tophet : 

13 And the houses of Jerusalem, 
and the houses of the kings of Judah, 
shall be defiled q as the place of To- 
phet, because of all the houses upon 
whose •' roofs they have burned in- 
cense unto all the host of heaven, 
and s have poured out drink-offerings 
unto other gods. 

14 Then came Jeremiah from To- 
phet, whither the Lord had sent him 
to prophesy; and he stood in Uhe 
court of the Lord's house ; and said 
to all the people, 

15 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel ; Behold, I will 
bring upon this city and upon all her 
towns all the evil that I have pro-

1 Pashur, smiting Jeremiah, receiveiJi a neic 
name, aiul a fearful doom. 7 Jeremiah com- 
plaineth of contempt, 10 of treachery, 14 aiviof 
flw birth. 

NOW Pashur the son of ^ Immer 
the priest, who was also chief 
governor in the house of the Lord, 
heard that Jeremiah prophesied these 
things. 

2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the 
prophet, and put him in the stocks 
that were in the high gate of Benja- 
min, which was by the house of the 
Lord. 

3 And it came to pass on the mor- 
row, that Pashur brought forth Jere- 
miah out of the stocks. Then said 
Jeremiah unto him. The Lord hath 
not called thy name Pashur, but |(Ma- 
gor-missabib. 

4 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, 
I will make thee a terror to thyself, 
and to all thy friends : and they shall 
fall by the sword of their enemies, 
and thine eyes shall behold it : and 
I will give all Judah into the hand of 
the king of Babylon, and he .shall 
carry them captive into Babylon, and 
shall slay them with the sword. 

5 Moreover I ''will deliver all the 
strength of this city, and all the la- 
bours thereof, and all the precious 
things thereof, and all the treasures 
of the kings of Judah will I give into 
the hand of theircnemies,whichshall 
spoil them, and take them, and carr)' 
them to Babylon. 

6 And thou, Pashur, and all that 
dwell in thy house shall go into cap- 
tivity : and thou slialt come to Ba- 
bylon, and there thou shalt die, and 
shalt be buried there, thou, and all 
thy friends, to whom thou hast 'pro- 
phesied lies. 

7 H O Lord, thou hast deceived 
me, and I was || deceived: •'thou art 
stronger than I, and hast prevailed : 
^ I am in derision daily, every one 
mocketh me. 

8 For since I spake, I cried out, f I 
cried violence and spoil ; because the 
word of the Lord was made a re- 
proach unto me, and a derision, daily. 

9 Then I said, I will not make men-

my bones, and I was weary with for- 
bearing, and ^ I could not stay. 

10 H' For I heard the defaming of 
many, fear on every side. Report,

4 Thus saith the Lord God of Is- 
rael ; Behold, I will turn back the 
weapons of war that are in your 
hands, wherewith ye fight against the 
king of Babylon, and against the 
Chaldeans, which besiege you with- 
out the walls, and "^I will assemble 
them into the midst of this city. 

5 And I myself will fight against 
you with an ^out-stretched hand and 
with a strong arm, even in anger, and 
in fury, and in great wrath. 

6 And I will smite the inhabitants 
of this city, both man and beast: 
they shall die of a great pestilence. 

7 And afterward, saith the Lord, 
f I will deliver Zedekiah king of Ju- 
dah, and his servants, and the people, 
and such as are left in this city from 
the pestilence, from the sword, and 
from the famine, into the hand of 
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and 
into the hand of their enemies, and 
into the hand of those that seek their 
life : and he shall smite them with 
the edge of the sword ; s he shall 
not spare them, neither have pity, 
nor have mercy. 

8 T[ And unto this people thou shalt 
say, Thus saith the Lord ; Behold, 
•*I set before you the way of life, and 
the way of death. 

9 He that ' abideth in this city shall 
die by the sword, and by the famine, 
and by the pestilence : but he that 
goeth out, and falleth to the Chal 
deans that besiege you, he shall live, 
and i^his life shall be unto him for a 
prey. 

10 For I have 'set my face against 
this city for evil, and not for good, 
saith the Lord : "^ it shall be given 
into the hand of the king of Babylon, 
and he shall "burn it with fire.

1 He exhorteth to repentance, with promises and 
threats. IQ The judgment of Shallum, \Z of 
Jehoiokim, 20 and of Coniah. 

THUS saith the Lord; Go down 
to the house of the king of Ju- 
dah, and speak there this word, 

2 And say, ^ Hear the word of the 
Lord, O king of Judah, that sittest 
upon the throne of David, thou, and 
thy servants, and thy people that en- 
ter in by these gates : 

3 Thus saith the Lord ; •'Execute 
ye judgment and righteousness, and 
deliver the spoiled out of the hand of 
the oppressor: and ^^do no wrong, do 
no violence to the stranger, the fa- 
therless, nor the widow, neither shed 
innocent blood in this place. 

4 For if ye do this thing indeed, 
^then shall there enter in by the gates 
of this house kings sitting f upon the 
throne of David, riding in chariots 
and on horses, he, and his servants, 
and his people. 

5 But if ye will not hear these 
words, ^ I swear by myself, saith the 
Lord, that this house shall become 
a desolation. 

6 For thus saith the Lord unto 
the king's house of Judah ; Thou art 
Gilead unto me, and the head of Le- 
banon : yet surely I will make thee a 
wilderness, and cities which are not 
inhabited. 

7 And I will prepare destroye'rs a- 
gainst thee, every one with his wea- 
pons : and they shall cut down ^ thy 
choice cedars, sand cast them into the 
fire. 

8 And many nations shall pass by 
this city, and they shall say every 
man to his neighbour, h Wherefore 
hath the Lord done thus unto this 
great city ?

9 Then they shall answer, 'Because 
they have forsaken the covenant of 
the Lord their God, and worshipped 
other gods, and served them. 

10 II Weep ye not for ^^ the dead, 
neither bemoan him : hut weep sore 
lor him ' that goeth away : for he 
shall return no more, nor see his na- 
tive country. 

1 1 For thus saith the Lord touch- 
ing ■" Shallum the son of Josiah king 
of Judah, which reigned instead of 
Josiah his father, " which went forth 
out of this place ; He shall not return 
thither any more : 

12 But he shall die in the place 
whither they have led him captive, 
and shall see this land no more. 

13 1 "Wo unto him tliat buildeth 
his house by unrighteousness, and his 
chambers by wrong ; P that useth his 
neighbour's service without wages, 
and giveth him not for his work; 

14 That saith, I will build me a wide 
house and f large chambers, andcut- 
teth him out || windows; and it is 
ceiled with cedar, and painted with 
vermilion. 

15 Shalt thou reign, because thou 
closest thyself in cedar? 1 did not thy 
father eat and drink, and do judg- 
ment and justice, and then nt was 
well with him? 

16 He judged the cause of the poor 
and needy ; tlien it was well with 
him: ivas not this to know me? saith 
the Lord. 

17 "But thine eyes and thy heart 
are not but lor thy covetousness, and 
for to shed innocent blood, and for op- 
pression, and for i| violence, to do it. 

18 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
concerning Jehoiakim the son of Jo 
siah king of Judah; 'They shall not 
lament for him, saijing, " Ah my 
brother! or. Ah sister! they shall not 
lament for him, saying, All lord ! or. 
Ah his glor}'^ !

burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth 
beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and 
cry from the passages: for all thy

Jehoiakim, and of Coniah. 

from thy youth, that thou obeyedst 
not my voice. 

22 The wind shall eat up all ^ thy 
pastors, and ^'thy lovers shall go into 
captivity: surely then shalt thou be 
ashamed and confounded for all thy 
wickedness. 

23 O f inhabitant of Lebanon, that 
makest thy nest in the cedars, how 
gracious shalt thou be when pangs 
come upon thee, ''the pain as of a 
woman in travail ! 

24 Jls I live, saith the Lord, <= though 
Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of 
Judah "^ were the signet upon my right 
hand, yet would I pluck thee thence ; 

25 ^ And I will give thee into the 
hand of them that seek thy life, and 
into the hand of them whose facethou 
fearest, even into the hand of Nebu- 
chadrezzar king of Babylon, and in- 
to the hand of the Chaldeans. 

26 '" And I will cast thee out. and 
thy mother that bare thee, into an- 
other countr}", where ye were not 
born ; and there shall ye die. 

27 But to the land whereunto they 
f desire to return, thither shall they 
not return. 

28 Is this man Coniah a despised 
broken idol? is he g a vessel wherein 
is no pleasure ? wherefore are they 
cast out, he and his seed, and are cast 
into a land which they know not? 

29 hQ earth, earth, earth, hear the 
word of the Lord. 

30 Thus saith the Lord, Write ye 
this man 'childless, a man that shall 
not prosper in his days: for no man 
of his seed shall prosper, "^ sitting up- 
on the tlirone of David, and ruling 
any more in Judah.

1 He propkesieth a restoration of the scattered 
flock. :> Christ shall rule and save them. 9 
Against false prophets, 33 and mockers of the 
true prophet*. 

WO "be unto the pastors that 
destroy and scatter the sheep 
of my pasture ! saith the Lord. 

2 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God of Israel against the pastors that 
feed my people ; Ye have scattered 
my flock, and driven them away, and 
have not visited them: ''behold, I 
will visit upon you the evil of your 
doings, saith the Lord. 

3 And =1 will gather the remnant 
of my flock out of all countries whi-

Christ is pro7nised. 

ther I have driven them, and will 
bring them again to their folds ; and 
they shall be fruitful and increase. 

4 And I will set up ^ shepherds over 
them, which shall feed them : and 
they shall fear no more, nor be dis- 
mayed, neither shall they be lacking, 
saith the Lord. 

5 1[ Behold, ^the days come, saith 
the Lord, that I will raise unto Da- 
vid a righteous Branch, and a King 
shall reign and prosper, f and shall 
execute judgment and justice in the 
earth. 

6 ff In his days Judah shall be saved, 
and Israel ^ shall dwell safely : and 
"this is his name whereby he shall 
be called, f THE LORD OUR 
RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

7 Therefore, behold, ^the days 
come, saith the Lord, that they 
shall no more say, The Lord liv- 
eth, which brought up the children 
of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 

8 But, the Lord liveth, which 
brought up and which led the seed 
of the house of Israel out of the 
north countrj^ ^and from all coun- 
tries whither I had driven them; and 
they shah dwell in their own land. 

9 ^ My heart within me is broken 
because of the prophets; ""all my 
bones shake; I am like a drunken 
man, and like a man whom wine hath 
overcome, because of the Lord, and 
because of the words of his holiness. 

10 For "the land is full of adulte- 
rers ; for ° because of || swearing the 
land mourneth ; Pthe pleasantplaces 
of the wilderness are dried up, and 
their || course is evil, and their force 
is not right. 

11 For qboth prophet and priest 
.are profane ; yea, nn my house have 
I found their wickedness, saith the 
Lord. 

12 s Wherefore their way shall be 
unto them as slippery ways in the 
darkness: they shall be driven on, 
and fall therein: for I 'will bring 
evil upon them, even the year of 
their visitation, saith the Lord. 

13 And I have seen || f folly in the 
prophets of Samaria ; " they prophe- 
sied in Baal, and ^ caused my people 
Israel to err. 

14 I have seen also in the prophets 
of Jerusalem || a horrible thing :

God's fearful judgments 
y they commit adultery, and ^ walk in 
hes: they =isti-engthen also the hands 
of evil-doers, that none doth return 
from his wickedness : they are all of 
them unto me as ^ Sodom, and the 
inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. 

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
of hosts concerning the prophets ; 
Behold, I will feed them with <^ worm- 
wood, and make them drink the wa- 
ter of gall : for from the prophets of 
Jerusalem is || profanenessgone forth 
into all the land. 

16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
Hearken not unto the words of the 
prophets that prophesy unto you : 
they make you vain : <ithey speak a 
vision of their own heart, and not out 
of the mouth of the Lord. 

17 They say still unto them that 
despise me. The Lord hath said, 
^Ye shall have peace; and they say 
unto every one that walketh after 
the II imagination of his own heart, 
f No evil shall come upon you. 

18 For swho hath stood in the 
II counsel of the Lord, and hath per- 
ceived and heard his word ? who hath 
marked his word, and heard it 1 

19 Behold, a ^^ whirlwind of the 
Lord is gone forth in fury, even a 
grievous whirlwind: it shall fall griev- 
ously upon the head of the wicked. 

20 The i anger of the Lord shall not 
return, until he have executed, dnd 
till he have performed the thoughts 
of his heart: ^in the latter days ye 
shall consider it perfectly. 

21 'I have not sent these prophets, 
yet they ran ; I have not spoken to 
them, yet they prophesied. 

22 But if they had ™ stood in my 
counsel, and had caused my people 
to hear my words, then they should 
have ° turned them from their evil 
way, and from the evil of their doings. 

23 Am I a God at hand, saith the 
Lord, and not a God afar off? 

24 Can any °hide himself in secret 
places that I shall not see him? saith 
the Lord. pDo not I fill heaven and 
earth? saith the Lord. 

25 I have heard what the prophets 
said, that prophesy lies in my name, 
saying, I have dreamed, I have 
dreamed. 

26 How long shall this be in the 
heart of the prophets that prophesy 

764 



against false prophets. 

lies ? yea, they are prophets of the 
deceit of their own heart ; 

27 Which think to cause my peo- 
ple to forget my name by their dreams 
which they tell every man to his 
neighbom-, 1 as their fathers have for- 
gotten my name for Baal. 

28 The prophet fthathath a dream, 
let him tell a dream ; and he that hath 
my word, let him speak my word 
faithfully. What is the chaff to the 
wheat ? saith the Lord. 

29 Is not my word like as a fire ? 
saith the Lord ; and like a hammer 
that breaketh the rock in pieces ? 

30 Therefore behold, ^1 am against 
the prophets, saith the Lord, that 
steal my words ever>- one from his 
neighbour. 

31 Behold, I am against the pro- 
phets, saith the Lord, || that use their 
tongues, and say, He saith. 

32 Behold, I am against them that 
propliesy false dreams, saith the 
Lord, and do tell them, and cause 
my people to err by their lies, and by 
* their lightness ; yet I sent them not, 
nor commanded them : therefore they 
shall not profit this people at all, 
saith the Lord. 

33 U And w hen this people, or the 
prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, 
saying. What is 'the burden of the 
Lord I thou shaltthen say unto them, 
What burden ? " I will even forsake 
you, saith the Lord. 

34 And as for the prophet, and the 
priest, and the people, that shall say, 
The burden of the Lord, I will even 
■f punish that man and his house. 

35 Thus shall ye say ever\' one to 
his neighbour, and every one to his 
brother, What hath the Lord an- 
swered ? and, What hath the Lord 
spoken ? 

36 And the burden of the Lord 
shall ye mention no more : for ever)' 
man's word shall be his burden ; for 
ve have perverted the words of the 
living God, of the Lord of hosts our 
God. 

37 Thus shall thou say to the pro- 
phet. What hath the Lord answer- 
ed thee ? and. What hath the Lord 
spoken ? 

38 But since ye say. The burden of

CHAP. XXIV. 

1 Under the type of good and had figs, 4 lie fore- 
sheiteth t}ie restoration of them that icere in- 
captivity, 8 and the desolation of Zedekiah and 
the rest. 

THE '^ Lord shewed me, and be- 
hold, two baskets of figs were 
set before the temple of the Lord, 
after that Nebuchadrezzar ''king of 
Babylon had carried away captive 
cjeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king 
of Judah, and the princes of Judah, 
with the carpenters and smiths, from 
Jerusalem, and had brought them to 
Babylon. 

2 One basket had veiy good figs, 
even like the figs that are first ripe : 
and the other basket /iffrf very naughty 
figs, which could not be eaten, f they 
were so bad. 

3 Then said the Lord unto me. 
What seest thou, Jeremiah ? and I 
said. Figs ; the good figs, veiy good ; 
and the evil, very evil, that cannot 
be eaten, they are so evil. 

4 TI Again the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

5 Thus saith the Lord, the God of 
Israel ; Like these good figs, so will 
I acknowledge f them that are carried 
away captive of Judah, whom I have 
sent out of this place into the land of 
the Chaldeans for their good. 

6 For I will set mine eyes upon 
them for good, and "I will bring 
them again to this land : and <=I will 
build them, and not pull them down ; 
and I win plant them, and not pluck 
them up. 

7 And I will give them ^a heart 
to know me, that I am the Lord : 
and they shall be emy people, and 
I will be their God : for they shall 
return unto me i^with their whole 
heart. 

8 1 And as the evil 'figs, which can- 
not be eaten, they are so evil ; surely 
thus saith the Lord, So will I give 

765 



The seventy years' captivity, and 

2i'3dekiah the king of Judah, and his 
princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, 
that remain in this land, and ''them 
that dwell in the land of Egypt : 

9 And I will deliver them f to 'be 
removed into all the kingdoms of the 
earth for their hurt, ™tobe a reproach 
and a proverb, a taunt » and a curse, in 
all places whither I shall drive them. 

10 And I will send the sword, the 
famine, and the pestilence, among 
them, till they be consumed from off 
the land that I gave unto them and 
to their fathers. 

CHAP. XXV. 

1 Jeremiah reproving the Jews' disobedience to the 
prophets, ^foretellelh the seventy years' capti- 
vity, 1 2 and after thai, the destruction of Ba- 
bylon. 15 Under the type of a cup of wine he 
foresheweth the destructioii of aU nations. 34 
The howling of the shepherds. 

THE word that came to Jeremiah 
concerning all the people of Ju- 
dah ^in the fourth year of Jehoiakim 
the son of Josiah king of Judah, that 
was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar 
king of Babylon ; 

2 The which Jeremiah the prophet 
spake unto all the people of Judah, 
and to all the inhabitants of Jerusa- 
lem, saying, 

3 ''From the thirteenth year of Jo- 
siah the son of Amon king of Judah, 
even unto this day, that is the three 
and twentieth year, the word of the 
Lord hath come unto me, and I have 
spoken unto you, rising early and 
speaking ; <:but ye have not heark- 
ened. 

4 And the Lord hath sent unto you 
all his servants the prophets, ''rising 
early and sending them ; but ye have 
not hearkened, nor inclined your ear 
to hear. 

5 They said, ^Turn ye again now 
everyone from his evil way, and fi-om 
the evil of your doings, and dwell in 
the land that the Lord hath given 
unto you and to your fathers forever 
and ever : 

6 And go not after other gods to 
serve them, and to worship them, and 
provoke me not to anger with the 
works of your hands ; and I will do 
you no hurt. 

7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto 
me, saith the Lord ; that ye might 
^provoke me to anger with the works 
of your hands to your own hurt.

destruction of Babylon, foretold. 

of hosts ; Because ye have not heard 
my words, 

9 Behold, I will send and take Sail 
the families of the north, saith the 
Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king 
of Babylon, ''my servant, and will 
bring them against this land, and 
against the inhabitants thereof, and 
against all these nations round about, 
and will utterly destroy them, and 
'make them an astonishment, and a 
hissing, and perpetual desolations. 

10 Moreover f I will take from them 
the Invoice of mirth, and the voice of 
gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, 
and the voice of the bride, 'the sound 
of the millstones, and the light of the 
candle. 

11 And this whole land shall be a 
desolation, and an astonishment ; and 
these nations shall serve the king of 
Babylon seventy years. 

12 H And it shall come to pass, 
™when * seventy years are accom- 
plished, that I will- 1 punish the king 
of Babylon, and that nation, saith 
the Lord, for their iniquity, and the 
land of the Chaldeans, "and will make 
it perpetual desolations. 

13 And I will bring upon that land 
all my words which I have pronounced 
against it, even all that is written in 
this book, which Jeremiah hath pro- 
phesied against all the nations. 

14 °For many nations Pand great 
kings shall q serve themselves of them 
also: ""and I will recompense them 
according to their deeds, and accord- 
ing to the works of their own hands. 

1 5 H For thus saith the Lord God 
of Israel unto me ; Take the ^ wine- 
cup of this fury at my hand, and 
cause all the nations, to whom I send 
thee, to drink it. 

16 And Hhey shall drink, and be 
moved, and be mad, because of the 
sword that I will send among them. 

17 Then took I the cup at the 
Lord's hand, and made all the na- 
tions to drink, unto whom the Lord 
had sent me : 

18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the ci- 
ties of Judah, and the kings there- 
of, and the princes thereof, to make 
them "a desolation, an astonishment, 
a hissing, and ^ a curse ; as it is this 
day;

ed, lOawrf arraigned. 11 Hi,t apology. 16 He is 
quit in jitdgtnent, by the example of Micah, 20 
and of L rijah, 24 and by the cure of Ahiliam. 

IN the beginning of the reign of 
Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king 
of Judah came this word from the 
Lord, saying. 

2 Thus saith the Lord; Stand in 
■^the court of the Lord's house, and 
speak unto all the cities of Judah, 
which come to worship in the Lord's 
house, ''all the words that I command 
thee to speak unto them; <= diminish 
not a word : 

3 ''If so be they will hearken, and 
turn ever\- man from his evil way, 
that I may ^ repent me of the evil, 
which I purpose to do unto them be- 
cause of the evil of their doings. 

4 And thou shalt say unto them,

Jeremiah denouncing God's threats 

Thus saith the Lord, f If ye will not 
hearken to me to walk in my law, 
which I have set before you, 

5 To hearken to the words of my 
sei-vants the prophets, s whom I sent 
unto you, both rising up early, aiid 
sending them, but ye have not heark- 
ened ; 

6 Then will I make this house like 
'' Shiloh, and will make this city 'a 
curse to all the nations of the earth. 

7 So the priests and the prophets 
and all the people heard Jeremiah 
speaking these words in the house 
of the Lord. 

8 Til Now it came to pass, when Je- 
remiah had made an end of speaking 
all that the Lord had commanded 
him to speak unto all the people, that 
the priests and the prophets and all 
the people took him, saying, Thou 
shalt surely die. 

9 Why hast thou prophesied in the 
name of the Lord, saying. This house 
shall be like Shiloh, and this city 
shall be desolate without an inhabit- 
ant ? And all the people were gather- 
ed against Jeremiah in the house of 
the Lord. 

1 "(I When the princes of Judah 
heard these things, then they came 
up from the king's house unto the 
house of the Lord, and sat down 
II in the entry of the new gate of the 
Lord's house. 

1 1 Then spake .the priests and the 
prophets unto the princes and to all 
the people, saying, f This man zs wor- 
thy to die; '^for he hath prophesied 
against this city, as ye have heard 
with your ears. 

12 ii Then spake Jeremiah unto all 
the princes, and to all the people, say- 
ing. The Lord sent me to prophesy 
against this house and against this 
city all the words that ye have heard. 

13 Therefore now 'amend your 
ways and your doings, and obey the 
voice of the Lord your God ; and the 
Lord will ""repent him of the evil 
that he hath pronounced against you. 

14 As for me, behold, " I am in 
your hand : do with me f as seemeth 
good and meet unto you :

sied in the days of Hezekiah king of

Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord 
of hosts ; q Zion shall be ploughed like 
a field, and Jerusalem shall become 
heaps, and the mountain of the house 
as the high places of a forest. 

19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah 
and all Judah put him at all to death ? 
""did he not fear the Lord, and be- 
sought f the Lord, and the Lord 
s repented him of the evil which he 
h ad pronounced against them ? * Thus 
might we procure great evil against 
our souls. 

20 And there was also a man that 
prophesied in the name of the Lord, 
Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kir- 
jath-jearim, who prophesied against 
this city and against this land accord- 
ing to all the words of Jeremiah : 

21 And when Jehoiakim the king 
with all his mighty men, and all the 
princes, heard his words, the king 
sought to put him to death : but 
when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, 
and fled, and went into Egypt ; 

22 And Jehoiakim the king sent 
men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan 
the son of Achbor, and. certain men 
with him into Egypt. 

23 And they fetched forth Urijah 
out of Egypt, and brought him unto 
Jehoiakim the king ; who slew him 
with the sword, and cast his deaa 
body into the graves of the t com- 
mon people. 

24 Nevertheless, "the handof Ahi- 
kam the son of Shaphan was with 
Jeremiah, that they should not give 
him into the hand of the people to 
put him to death.

and there continue until the day of visitation. 

IN the beginning of the reign of Je- 
hoiakim the son of Josiah ^king 
of Judah came this word unto Jere- 
miah from the Lord, saying, 

2 Thus II saith the Lord to me ; 
Make thee bonds and yokes, ''and 
put them upon thy neck, 

3 And send them to the king of 
Edom, and to the king of Moab, and 
to the king of the Ammonites, and 
to the king of Tyrus, and to the king 
of Zidon, by the hand of the mes- 
sengers which come to Jerusalem 
unto Zedekiah king of Judah ; 

4 And command them || to say unto 
their masters, Thus saith the Lord 
of hosts, the God of Israel ; Thus 
shall ye say unto your masters ; 

5 <= 1 have made the earth, the man 
and the beast that are upon the 
ground, by my great power and by 
my but-stretched arm, and '^ have 
given it unto whom it seemed meet 
unto me. 

6 6 And now have I given all these 
lands into the hand of Nebuchad- 
nezzar the king of Babylon, 'my ser- 
vant; and ethe beasts of the field 
have I given him also to sene him. 

7 iiAud all nations shall serve him, 
and his son, and his son's son, 'until 
the very time of his land come : '' and 
then many nations and great kings 
shall serve themselves ol" him. 

8 And it shall come to pass, thai 
the nation and kingdom >\hicli will 
not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar 
the king of Babylon, and that will 
not put their neck under the yoke of 
the king of Babylon, that nation will 
1 punish, saith the Lord, with the 
sword, and with the famine, and with 
the pestilence, until I have consumed 
them by his hand. 

9 Therefore hearken not ye to your 
prophets, nor to your diviners, nor 
to your f dreamers, nor to your en- 
chanters, nor to your sorcerers, 
which speak unto you, saying, Ye 
shall not serve the king of Babylon:

13 " Why will ye die, thou and thy

14 Therefore hearken not unto the

15 For I have not sent them, saith 
the Lord, yet they prophesy f a lie 
in my name ; that I might drive you 
out, and that ye might perish, ye, 
and the prophets that prophesy unto 
you. 

16 Also I spake to the priests and 
to all this people, saying. Thus saith 
the Lord ; Hearken not to the words 
of your prophets that prophesy unto 
you, saying. Behold, P the vessels of 
the Lord's house shall now shortly

they prophesy a lie unto you. 

17 Hearken not unto them; serve

fore should this city be laid waste ? 

18 But if they be prophets, and if 
the word of the Lord be with them, 
let them now make intercession to 
tlie Lord of hosts, that the vessels 
which are left in the house of the 
Lord, and iii the house of the king 
of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not 
to Babylon. 

19 TIFor thus saith the Lord of

concerning the sea, and concerning

due of the vessels that remain in 
this city, 

20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of 
Babylon took not, when he carried 
away >■ captive Jeconiah the son of 
Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jeru-

iron yoke, 15 and foretelleih Hananiali s death. 

ND a it came to pass the same 
year, in the beginning of the 
reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in 
the fourth year, and in the fifth 
month, that Hananiah the son of 
Azur the prophet, which was of Gi- 
beon, spake unto me in the house 
of the Lord, in the presence of the 
priests, and of all the people, saying, 

2 Thus speakeththe Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel, saying, I have 
broken ''the yoke of the king of Ba-

3 '^ Within t two full years will I 
bring again into this place all the 
vessels of the Lord's house, that Ne- 
buchadnezzar king of Babylon took 
away from this place, and can-ied 
them to Babylon. 

4 And I will bring again to this 
place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim 
king of Judah, with all the f captives 
of Judah, that went into Babylon, 
saith the Lord ; for I will break the 
yoke of the king of Babylon. 

5 ^I Then the prophet Jeremiah said 
unto the prophet Hananiah in the 
presence of the priests, and in the 
presence of all the people that stood 
in the house of the Lord, 

6 Even the prophet Jeremiah said, 
•^Amen: the Lord do so: the Lord 
perform thy words which thou hast 
prophesied, to bring again the ves- 
sels of the Lord's house, and all 
that is carried away captive, from 
Babylon into this place. 

7 Nevertheless, hear thou now this 
word that I speak in thine ears, and 
in the ears of all the people :

10 ^Then Hananiah the prophet 
took the f yoke from off the prophet 
Jeremiah's neck, and brake it. 

11 And Hananiah spake in the pre- 
sence of all the people, saying. Thus 
saith the Lord; Even so will I break 
the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of 
Babylon s from the neck of all nation? 
within the space of two full years. 
And the prophet Jeremiah went his 
way. 

12 "U Then the word of the Lord 
came unto Jeremiah the prophet, af- 
ter that Hananiah the prophet had 
broken the yoke from oft' the neck oi 
the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 

13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying. 
Thus saith the Lord ; Thou hast 
broken the yokes of wood ; but thou 
shalt make for them yokes of iron. 

14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel ; ^ I have put a 
yoke of iron upon the neck of all 
these nations, that they may serve 
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ; 
and they shall serve him: and 4 have 
given him the beasts of the field also. 

15 *lf Then said the prophet Jere- 
miah unto Hananiah the prophet, 
Hear now, Hananiah; the Lord 
hath not sent thee; but '^thou makest 
this people to trust in a lie. 

IG Therefore thus saith the Lord ; 
Behold, I will cast thee from oflf the 
face of the earth : this year thou shalt 
die, because thou hast taught ' f re-

17 So Hananiah the prophet died 
the same year in the seventh month.

JeremiaJis letter to the captive Jeics, CHAP. XXIX. 

Nebuchadnezzar had carried away! ^^'"<"* 'i ^^°^ 
captive from Jerusalem to Babylon ; 

2 (Alter that ^Jeconiah the king, 
and the queen, and the jj eunuchs, the 
princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and 
the carpenters, and the smidis, were 
departed from Jerusalem :) 

3 By the hand of Elasah the son of 
Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of 
Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of 
Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebu- 
chadnezzar king of Babylon) say- 
ing, 

4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel, unto all that are 
carried away captives, whom 1 have 
caused to be carried away from 
Jerusalem unto Babylon ; 

5 ''Build ye houses, and dwell in bTer.28. 
them; and plant gardens, and eat 
the fruit of lliem; 

6 Take ye wives, and beget sons 
and daughters; and take wives for 
your sons, and give your daughters 
to husbands, that they may bear sons 
and daughters ; that ye may be in- 
creased there, and not diminished. 

7 And seek the peace of the city 
whither 1 have caused you to be car- 
ried away captives. <^and pray mito J^^^oJ," 
the Loud for it : for in the peace 
thereof shall ye have peace. 

8 II For thus saitli the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Israel ; Let not your 
prophets and your diviners, that he in 
the midst of vou, "^deceive vou. nei- l-^^ »• 'i-

causing you to return to this place. 

11 For I know the thoughts that I 
think toward you. saith the Lord, 
thoughts of {jeace,and not of evil, to 
give you an f expected end. 

12 Then shall ye ecall upon me. 
and ye shall go and pray unto me, 
and I will hearken unto you.

from all the nations, and from all the 
places whither I have di-iven vou, 
saitli the Lord: and I will bring you 
again into the place whence I caus- 
ed you to be carried away captive. 

15 T Because ye have said. The 
Lord hath i-aised us up prophets in 
Babylon ; 

16 Know that thus saith the Lord 
of the king that sitteth upon the 
throne of David, and of all tlie peo- 
ple that dwelledi in this city, and of 
your brethren tliat are not gone fortli 
with you into captivity ; 

17 Thus saidi the Lord of hosts; 
Behold. I will send upon them the 
"" sword, the famine, and the pesti- 
lence, and will make them hke "vile 
figs, til at cannot be eaten, they are 
so evil. 

18 And I will persecute them with 
the sword, witli the famine, and with 
the pestilence, and ^will deliver Uiem 
to be removed to all the kingdoms 
of the earth, f to be Pa curse, and an 
astonishment, and a hissing, and a 
reproach, among all the nations whi- 
ther I have driven them : 

1 9 Because they have not hearkened 
to my words, saith the Lord, which 
1 1 sent unto them by my sen ants the 
prophets, rising up early and sending 
them ; but ye would not hear, saith 
the Lord. 

20 \ Hear ye therefore the word 
of the Lord, all ye of the captivity, 
whom I have sent from Jerusalem 
to Babylon: 

21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of 
Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of 
Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto 
you in my name ; Behold. I will de- 
hvcr them into the liand of Nebu- 
chadrezzar king of Babylon; and he 
shall slav them before your eyes : 

22 f And of diciu shall be taken up 
a curse by all the captivity of Judah 
which are in Babylon, saying. The 
Lord make thee like ZedekiaJi and 
like Ahab. *whoin the king of Baby- 
lon roasted in the fire; 

23 Because ^hey have committed 
villany in Israel, and have committed 
adultery with their neighbours" wives, 
and have spoken lying words in my 
name, which I have not comm.anded

them ; even I know, and am a wit- 
ness, saith the Lord. 

24 *II Thus shalt thou also speak to 
Shemaiah the || Nehelamite, saymg, 

25 Thus speaketh the Lord of 
hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Be- 
cause thou hast sent letters in thy 
name unto all the people that ai-e at 
Jerusalem, " and to Zephaniah the 
son of Maaseiah the priest, and to 
all the priests, saying, 

26 The Lord hath made thee priest 
in the stead of Jehoiada the p->-5St, 
that ye should be -'' officers in the 
house of the Lord, for every man 
that is ymad, and maketh himself a 
prophet, that thou shouldest ^put 
him in prison, and in the stocks. 

27 Now therefore why hast thou 
not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, 
which maketh himself a prophet to 
you? 

28 For therefore he sent unto us 
in Babylon, saying. This captivity is 
long: a- build ye houses, and dwell 
in them ; and plant gardens, and 
eat the fruit of them. 

29 And Zephaniah the priest read 
this letter in the ears of Jeremiah 
the prophet. 

30 "il Then came the word of the 
Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, 

31 Send to all them of the captivity, 
saying. Thus saith the Lord concern- 
ing Shemaiah the Nehelamite ; Be- 
cause that Shemaiah hath prophesied 
unto you, ''and I sent him not, and 
he caused you to trust in a lie : 

32 Therefore thus saith the Lord ; 
Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the 
Nehelamite, and his seed : he shall 
not have a man to dwell among this 
people ; neither shall he behold the 
good that I wil do for my people,

Jacob is comforted, and 

Judah, saith the Lord: ''and I will 
cause them to retui-n to the land 
that I gave to their fathers, and they 
shall possess it. 

4 ^ And these are the words that 
the Lord spake concerning Israel, 
and concerning Judah, 

5 For thus saith the Lord ; "We 
have heard a voice of trembling, ji of 
fear, and not of peace, 

6 Ask ye now, and see whether f a 
man doth travail with child ? where- 
fore do I see every man with his hands 
on his loins, "^ as a woman in travail, 
and all faces are turned into paleness 1 

I "^Alas! for that day is great, ^so 
that none is like it : it is even the 
time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall 
be saved out of it. 

8 For it shall come to pass in that 
day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I 
will break his yoke from off thy neck, 
and will burst thy bonds, and stran- 
gers shall no more serve themselves 
of him : 

9 But they shall serve the Lord 
their God, and ^David their king, 
whom I will g raise up unto them. 

10 '^Therefore '^fear thou not, O 
my servant Jacob, saith the Lord ; 
neither be dismayed, O Israel : for 
lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy 
seed'fromthe land of their captivity ; 
and Jacob shall return, and shall be 
in rest, and be quiet, and none shall 
make him afraid. 

I I For I am with thee, saith the 
Lord, to save thee : ^ though I make 
a full end of all nations whither I 
have scattered thee, 'yet will I not 
make a full end of thee : but I Avill 
correct thee ■" in measure, and will not 
leave thee altogether unpunished. 

12 For thus saith the Lord, "Thy 
bruise is incurable, and thy wound 
is grievous. 

13 There is none to plead thy cause, 
f that thou mayest be bound up : 
° thou hast no healing medicines. 

14 pAU thy lovers have forgotten 
thee ; they seek thee not ; for I have 
wounded thee with the wound q of an 
enemy, with the chastisement "^ of a 
cruel one, for the multitude of thine 
iniquity; ^because thy sins were in- 
creased. 

15 Why 'criest thou for thine afflic- 
tion? thy sorrow is incurable for the 

772 



a gracious return promised. 

multitude of tliine iniquity : because 
tliy sins were increased, I have done 
these things unto thee. 

10 Therefore all they that devour 
thee "shall be devoured ; and all 
thine adversaries, every one of them 
shall go into captivity ; and they that 
spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all 
that prey upon thee will I give for a 
prey. 

17 -^For I v.ill restore health unto 
thee, and I will heal thee of thy 
wounds, saith the Lord ; because 
they called thee an Outcast, saying, 
This is Zion, whom no man seeketh 
after. 

18 "[[Thus saith the Lord; Be- 
hold, >T will bring again the captivity 
of Jacob's tents, and ^have mercy on 
his dwelling-places; and the city shall 
be builded upon her own |j heap, and 
the palace shall remain after the man- 
ner thereof 

19 And °-o\ii of them shall proceed 
thanksgiving and the voice of them 
that make merry : ''and I will multi- 
ply them, and they shall not be few ; 
I will also gloril'y them, and they 
shall not be small. 

20 Their children also shall be 
•^as aforetime, and their congregation 
shall be established before me, and I 
will punish all that oppress them. 

21 And their nobles shall be of 
themselves, 'i and their governor shall 
proceed from the midst of them ; 
and I will 'cause him to draw near, 
and he shall approach unto me : for 
who is this that engaged his heart to 
approach unto me I saith the Lord. 

22 And ye shall be 'my people, and 
I will be your God. 

23 Behold, the ewhirlwind of the 
Lord goeth forth with fury, a f con- 
tinuing whirlwind : it shall || fall with 
pain upon the head of the wicked. 

24 The fierce anger of the Lord 
shall not return, until he have done 
it, and until he have performed the 
intents of his heart: ''in the latter 
days ye shall consider it.

TJie restoration of Israei. 

all the famihes of Israel, and they 
shall be my people. 

2 Thus saith the Lord, The people 
which were left of the sword found 
grace in the wilderness ; even Israel, 
when "^I went to cause liim to rest. 

3 The Lord hath appeared fof old 
unto me, saying, Yea, ^l have loved 
thee with '^ an everlasting love : there- 
fore II with loving-kindness have I 
'drawn thee. 

4 Again ?I will build thee, and thou 
shalt be built, O virgin of Israel : thou 
shalt again be adorned with thy ^ || ta- 
brets, and shalt go forth in the dances 
of them that make merry. 

5 'Thou shalt yet plant vines upon 
the mountains of Samaria : the plant- 
ers shall plant, and shall f eat them 
as common tilings. 

6 For there shall be a day, that the 
watchmen upon the mount Ephraim 
shall cr}', i^ Arise ye, and let us go up 
to Zion unto the Lord our God. 

7 For thus saith the Lord; 'Sing 
with gladness for Jacob, and shout 
among the chief of the nations : pub- 
lish ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, 
save thy people, the remnant of Israel. 

8 Behold, I will bring them ""from 
the north country', and "gather them 
from the coasts of the earth, and with 
them the blind and the lame, the wo- 
man with child and her that travail- 
etli with child together : a great com- 
pany shall return thither. 

9 "They shall come with weeping, 
and with || supplications will I lead 
them ; 1 will cause them to walk Pby 
the rivers of waters in a straight way, 
wherein they shall not stumble : for 
I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim 
is my q first-born. 

10 II Hear the word of the Lord, O 
ye nations, and declare it in the isles 
afar off, and say. He that scattered 
Israel ■'will gather him, and keep 
him, as a shepherd doth his flock. 

11 For nhe Lord hath redeemed 
Jacob, and ransomed him 'from the 
hand of him that was stronger than 
he. 

12 Therefore they shall come and 
sing in "the height of Zion, and shall 
flow together to ^ the goodness of the 
Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and 
for oil, and for the young of the flock 
and of the herd : and their soul shall

be as a y watered garden ; ''and they 
shall not sorrow any more at all. 

13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in 
the dance, both young men and old 
together : for I will turn their mourn- 
ing into joy, and will comfort them, 
and make them rejoice from their 
sorrow. 

14 And I will satiate the soul of the 
priests with fatness, and my people 
shall be satisfied with my goodness, 
saith the Lord. 

15 TIThus saith the Lord; "A 
voice was heard in ^Ramah, lamen- 
tation, and bitter weeping ; Rachel 
weeping for her children refused to 
be comforted for her children, be- 
cause <=they were not. 

16 Thus saith the Lord; Refrain 
thy voice from weeping, and thine 
eyes from tears : for thy work shall 
be rewarded, saith the Lord ; and 
^thej shall come again from the land 
of the enemy. 

17 And there is hope in thine end, 
saith the Lord, that th'i/ children 
shall come again to their own border. 

18 TI I have surely heard Ephraim 
bemoaning himself thus ; Thou hast 
chastised me, and I was chastised, as 
a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke : 
eturn thou me, and I shall be turned ; 
for thou art the Lord my God. 

19 Surely ^after that I was turned, 
I repented ; and after that I was in- 
structed, I smote upon my thigh : I 
was ashamed, yea, even confounded, 
becatise I did bearthe reproach of my 
youth. 

20 Is Ephraim my dear son ? is he 
a pleasant child ? for since I spake 
against him, I do earnestly remember 
him still: ^ therefore my bowels fare 
troubled for him ; ^^I will surely have 
mercy upon him, saith the Lord. 

21 Settheeupway-marks, make thee 
high heaps: 'set thy heart toward 
the highway, eve?i the way whichthou 
wentest : turn again, O virgin of Is 
rael, turn again to these thy cities. 

22 TIHow long wilt thou "^go about, 
O thou 'backsliding daughter? for 
the Lord hath created a new thing 
in the earth, A woman shall compass 
a man. 

23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel ; As yet they shall 
use this speech in the land of Judah

bring again their captivity; ""The 
Lord bless thee, O habitation of jus- 
tice, and ° mountain of holiness. 

24 And there shall dwell in Judah 
itself, and °in all the cities thereoi 
together, husbandmen, and they thai 
go forth with flocks. 

25 For I have satiated the weary 
soul, and I have replenished every 
sorrowful soul. 

26 Upon this I awaked, and beheld 
and my sleep was sweet unto me. 

27 ^ Behold, the days come, saith 
the Lord, that pI will sow the house 
of Israel and the house of Judah with 
the seed of man, and with the seed 
of beast. 

28 And it shall come to pass, that 
like as I have q watched over them, 
Uo pluck up, and to break down, and 
to throw down, and to destroy, and to 
afflict ; so will I watch over them, ^to 
build and to plant, saith the Lord. 

29 tin those days they shall say no 
more. The fathers have eaten a sour 
grape, and the children's teeth are set 
on edge. 

30 "But every one shall die for his 
own iniquity : every man thateateth 
the sour grape, his teeth shall be set 
on edge. 

31 If Behold, the ^days come, saith 
the Lord, that I will make a new co- 
venant with the house of Israel, and 
with the house of Judah : 

32 Not according to the covenant 
that I made with their fathers, in the 
day that yl took them by the hand to 
bring them out of the land of Egypt ; 
which my covenant they brake, || al- 
though I was a husband unto them, 
saith the Lord : 

33 ^But this shall be the covenant 
that I will make with the house of 
Israel ; After those days, saith the 
Lord, ^I will put my law in their 
inward parts, and write it in their 
hearts ; ''and will be their God, and 
they shall be my people. 

34 And they shall teach no more 
every man his neighbour, and every 
man his brother, saying, Kjiow the 
Lord : for <=they shall all know me, 
from the least of them unto the great- 
est of them, saith the Lord: for ^I

THE word tliat came to Jeremiah 
from the Lord "in the tenth 
year of Zedekiah king of Judah, 
which was the cighteendi year of 
Nebuchadrezzar. 

2 For then the king of Babylon's 
army besieged Jerusalem : and Jere- 
miah the prophet was shut up ''in 
tlie court of the prison, which was 
in the king of Judah's house. 

3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had 
shut him up, saying. Wherefore dost 
thou phophesy, and say. Thus saith 
the Lord, "^Behold, I will give this 
city into the hand of the king of Ba- 
bylon, and he shall take it ;

livered into the hand of the king of 
Babylon, and shall speak with him 
mouth to moutli, and his eyes shall 
behold his eyes : 

5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to 
Babylon, and there shall he be ^until 
I visit him, saith the Lord : ''though 
ye fight with tlie Chaldeans, ye shall 
not prosper ? 

6 *![ And Jeremiah said. The word 
of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

7 Behold, Hanameel, the son of 
Shallum thine uncle, shall come un- 
to thee, saying. Buy thee ray field 
that is in Anathoth : for the sright 
of redemption is thine to buy it. 

8 So Hanameel mine uncle's son 
came to me in the court of the prison, 
according to the word of the Lord, 
and said unto me. Buy my field, I 
pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which 
is in the country of Benjamin : for 
the right of inheritance is thine, and 
the redemption is thine ; buy it for 
thyself. Then I knew that this icas 
the word of the Lord. 

9 And I bought the field of Hana- 
meel mine uncle's son, that was in 
Anathoth, and ''weighed him the 
money, even \\ seventeen shekels of 
silver. 

10 And 1 1 subscribed the evidence, 
and sealed it, and took witnesses, 
and weighed him the money in the 
balances. 

11 So I took the evidence of the 
purchase, both that which was seal- 
ed according to the law and custom, 
and that which was open : 

12 And I gave the evidence of the 
purchase unto 'Baruch the son of 
Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the 
sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, 
and in the presence of the i^ witnesses 
that subscribed the book of the pur- 
chase, before all the Jews that sat in 
the court of the prison. 

13 H And I charged Baruch before 
them, saying, 

14 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel ; Take these evi- 
dences, this evidence of the purchase, 
both which is sealed, and this evi- 
dence which is open ; and put them 
in an earthen vessel, that they may 
continue many days. 

15 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel ; Houses and fields

Jeremiah expostulateth with God. 

and vineyards i shall be possessed 
again in this land. 

16 ^ Now when I had delivered die 
evidence of the purchase unto Baruch 
the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the 
Lord, saying, 

17 Ah Lord God ! behold, ™thou 
hast made the heaven and the earth 
by thy great power and stretched out 
arm, and "there is nothing 1| too hard 
for thee : 

18 Thou she west ° loving-kindness 
unto thousands, and recompensest 
the iniquity of the fathers into the 
bosom of their children after them : 
The Great, PThe Mighty God, qThe 
Lord of hosts, is his name ; 

19 !■ Great in counsel, and mighty in 
f work : for thine ^ eyes are open up- 
on all the ways of the sons of men ; 
^to give every one according to his 
ways, and according to the fruit of 
his doings : 

20 "Which hast set signs and won- 
ders in the land of Egj'pt, even unto 
this day, and in Israel, and among 
other men ; and hast made thee "a 
name, as at this day ; 

21 And ^hast brought forth thy 
people Israel out of the land of 
Egj^t with signs, and with wonders, 
and with a strong hand, and with a 
stretched out arm, and with great 
terror ; 

22 And hast given them this land, 
which thou didst swear to their fa- 
thers to give them, Ja land flowing 
"with milk and honey ; 

23 And they came in, and possessed 
it ; but ^they obeyed not thy voice, 
neither walked in thy law ; they have 
done nothing of all that thou com- 
mandedst them to do: therefore thou 
hast caused all this evil to come upon 
them : 

24 Behold the |1 mounts, they are 
come unto the city to take it ; and 
the city ^\s given into the hand of 
the Chaldeans, that fight against it, 
because of ''the sword, and of the 
famine, and of the pestilence : and 
w"hat thou hast spoken is come to 
pass ; and behold, thou seest it. 

25 And thou hast said unto me, O 
Lord God, Buy thee the field for 
money, and take witnesses ; || for 
<=the city is given into the hand of 
the Chaldeans.

God's threats against Judah. 

26 ^ Then came the word of the 
Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, 

27 Behold, I am the Lord, the 
d God of all flesh : ^is there any thing 
too hard for me ? 

28 Therefore thus saith the Lord ; 
Behold, f I wnll give this city into the 
hand of the Chaldeans, and into the 
hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Ba- 
bylon, and he shall take it : 

29 And the Chaldeans, that fight 
against this city, shall come and gset 
fire on this city, and burn it with the 
houses, i^upon whose roofs they have 
offered incense untoBaal, and poured 
out drink-offerings unto other gods, 
to provoke me to anger. 

30 For the children of Israel and 
the children of Judah Uiaveonly done 
evil before me from their youth : for 
the children of Israel have only pro- 
voked me to anger with the work of 
their hands, saith the Lord. 

31 For this city hath been to me 
as f a provocation of mine anger and 
of my fury from the day that they 
built it even imto this day ; ^ that I 
should remove it from before my face, 

32 Because of all the evil of the 
children of Israel and of the children 
of Judah, which they have done to 
provoke me to anger, hhey, their 
kings, their princes, their priests, 
and their prophets, and the men of 
Judah, and the inhabitants of Jeru- 
salem. 

33 And they have turned unto me 
the -j-™ back, and not the face : though 
I taught them, ^ rising up early and 
teaching them, yet they have not 
hearkened to receive instraction. 

34 But they ° set their abominations 
in the house which is called by my 
name, to defile it, 

35 And they built the high places 
of Baal, which are in the valley of 
the son of Hinnom, to p cause their 
sons and their daughters to pass 
through the fire unto q Mblech ; 
■■ which I commanded them not, nei- 
ther came it into my mind, that they 
should do this abomination, to cause 
Judah to sin. 

36 II And now therefore thus saith 
the Lord, the God of Israel, con- 
cerning this city, whereof ye say, ^It 
shall be delivered into the hand of 
the king of Babylon by the sword, 

776 



God reneiceth his promise to the 

and by the famine, and by the pesti- 
lence ;

of all countries, whither I have driven

XXXIIL captive Jews of a gracious return 

4 For thus saith the Lord, the God 
of Israel, concerning the houses of 
this cit\", and concerning the houses 
of the kings of Judah. whicn are 
thrown down by ^the mo ants, and 
by the sword ; 

5 'They come to fight with the 
Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with 
the dead bodies of men, whom I have 
slain in mine anger cmd in my fury, 
and for aU whose wickedness I have 
hid my face from this city. 

6 Behold, ?l wiU bring it health 
and cure, and I will cure them, and 
will reveal unto them the abundjuice 
of peace and truth. 

7 And ^ I will cause the captivit\- 
of Judah and tiie captivity of Israel 
to return, and will build them, » as 
at the first. 

8 And I will ^ cleanse them from 
all their iniquity, whereby they have 
sinned asainst me ; and I will ' par- 
don all their iniquities, whereby they 
have sinned, and whereby they have 
transgressed sigainst me. 

9 ^""And it shall be to me a name 
of joy, a praise and an honour, before 
all the nations of the earth, which 
shall heai- all the good that I do unto 
them : and they shall "^ fear £md trem- 
ble for all the goodness and for all 
the prosperity that I procure unto it. 

10 Thus saith the Lord; Again 
there shall be heard in this place, 
"which ye say shall be desolate with- 
out man and without beast, even in 
the cities of Judah, and in the streets 
of Jerusalem, that are desolate, with- 
out man, and without inhabitant, and 
without beast, 

11 The P voice of joy. and the voice 
of gladness, the voice of the bride- 
groom, and the voice of the bride, the 
voice of them that shall say, q Praise 
the Lord of hosts : for the Lord is 
good; for his mercy endureth for 
ever: and of them that shall bring 
■■the sacrifice of praise into the house 
of the Lord. For * I will cause to 
return the captivity of the land, as 
at the first, saith the Lord. 

12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
t Again in this place, which is deso- 
late without man and without beast, 
and in all the cities thereof, shall be 
a habitation of shepherds causing 
their flocks to lie down.

13 "In the cities of the mountains, 
in the cities of the vale, and in the 
cities of the south, and in the land of 
Benjamin, and in the places about 
Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, 
shall the flocks ^ pass again under the 
hands of him that telleth them, saith 
the Lord. 

14 )' Behold, the days come, saith 
the Lord, that ^ I will perform that 
good thing which I have promised 
unto the house of Israel and to the 
house of Judah. 

15 TI In those days, and at that 
time, will I cause the ^ Branch of 
I'ighteousness to grow up unto Da- 
vid ; and he shall execute judgment 
and righteousness in the land. 

16 ''In those days shah Judah be 
saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell 
safely : and this is the name where- 
with she shall be called, -j-The Lord 
our Righteousness. 

17 ^ For thus saith the Lord ; f Da- 
vid shall never <= want a man to sit up- 
on the throne of the house of Israel ; 

18 Neither shall the priests the Le- 
vites want a man before me to '^ offer 
burnt-offerings, and to kindle meat- 
offerings, and to do sacrifice con- 
tinually. 

19 T[ And the word of the Lord 
came unto Jeremiah, saying, 

20 Thus saith the Lord ; ^ If ye 
can break my covenant of the day, 
and my covenant of the night, and 
that there should not be day and 
night in their season ; 

21 Then may also f my covenant be 
broken with David my servant, that 
he should not have a son to reign 
upon his throne ; and Vv^ith the Le- 
vites the priests, my ministers. 

22 As ethe host of heaven cannot 
be numbered, neither the sand of the 
sea measured: so will I multiply the 
seed of David my servant, and the 
Levites that minister unto me. 

23 Moreover the word of the Lord 
came to Jeremiah, saying, 

24 Considerest thou not what this 
people have spoken, saying, iiThe 
two families which the Lord hath 
chosen, he hath even cast them off? 
thus they have despised my people, 
that they should be no more a na- 
tion before them.

CHAP. XXXIV. 

1 Jeremiah prophesieth the captivity of Zedelcinh 
and the city. 8 The jn-inces andihe people hav- 
ing dismissed their bond-servants, contrary to 
the covenant of God, reassume them. 12 Jere- 
miah, for their disobedience, giveth them and, 
Zedchiah into the hands of their enemies. 

THE word which came unto Je- 
remiah from the Lord, ^when 
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, 
and all his army, and ^all the king- 
doms of the earth f of his dominion, 
and all the people fought against 
Jerusalem, and against all the cities 
thereof, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of 
Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah 
king of Judah, and tell him. Thus 
saith the LoRri ; Behold, <= I will give 
this city into the hand of the king of 
Babylon, and ^he shall burn it with 
fire: 

3 And 5 thou shalt not escape out 
of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, 
and delivered into his hand ; and 
thine eyes shall behold the eyes of 
the king of Babylon, and f he shall 
speak with thee mouth to mouth, 
and thou shalt go to Babylon. 

4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, 
O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus 
saith the Lord of thee, Thou shalt 
not die by the sword : 

5 But thou shalt die in peace: and 
with fthe burnings of thy fathers, the 
former kings which were before thee, 
g so shall they burn odours for thee ; 
and h they will lament thee, saying. 
Ah lord ! for I have pronounced the 
word, saith the Lord. 

6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake 
all these words unto Zedekiah king 
of Judah in Jerusalem, 

7 When the king of Babylon's 
army fought against Jerusalem, and 
against all the cities of Judah that 
were left, against Lachish,and against 
Azekah: for 'these defenced cities 
remained of the cities of Judah.

unto Jeremiah from the Lord, after 
that the king Zedekiah had made a 
covenant ^Yith all the people which 
were at Jerusalem, to proclaim ''li- 
berty unto them ; 

9 'That every man should let his 
man-sei-vant, and every man liis 
maid-servant, being a Hebrew or a 
Hebrewess, go free : "'that none 
sliould serve himself of them, to wit, 
of a Jew his brother. 

10 Now when all the princes, and 
all the people which had entered 
into the covenant, heard that eveiy 
one should let his man-servant, and 
every one his maid-servant, go free, 
that none should serve themselves 
of them any more, then they obey- 
ed, and let tiiem go. 

1 1 But " afterwards they turned, and 
caused the servants and the hand- 
maids, whom they had let go free, to 
return, and brought them into subjec- 
tion for servants and for handmaids. 

12 "11 Therefore the word of tlie 
Lord came to Jeremiah, from tiie 
Lord, saying, 

13 Thus saith the Lord, the God 
of Israel ; I made a covenant with 
your fatiiers in the day that 1 brought 
them forth out of the land of Egypt, 
out of the house of bond-men, saying, 

14 At the end of "seven years, let ye 
go every man his brother a Hebrew, 
which II hath been sold unto thee ; 
and when he hath served thee six 
years-, thou shah let him go free from 
thee ; but your fathers hearkened not 
unto me, neither inclined tiieir ear. 

15 And ye were f now turned, and 
had done right in my sight, in pro- 
claiming liberty every man to his 
neighbour ; and ye had P made a cove- 
nant before me i in the house f which 
is called by my name : 

16 But ye turned and ■■ polluted my 
name, and caused every man his ser- 
vant, and eveiy man his handmaid, 
whom he had set at liberty at their 
pleasure, to return, and brought them 
into subjection, to be unto you for 
servants and for handmaids. 

17 Tiierefore thus saith the Lord : 
Ye have not hearkened unto me, in 
proclaiming liberty, every one to his 
brother, and every man to his neigh- 
bour: ^behold, I proclaim a liberty 
for you, saith the Lord. Uothe sword,

2 Go unto the house of the 'i Re-

bring them into the house of the 
Lord, into one of ^ the chambers, 
and give them wine to drink. 

3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of 
Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah,and 
his brethren, and all his sons, and the 
whole house of the Rechabites ; 

4 And I brought them into the house 
of the Lord, into the chamber of the 
sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, 
a man of God, which was by the 
chamber of the princes, which was 
above the chamber of Maaseiah the

The Jews' disobedience condemned. JEREMIAH. 

5 And I set before the sons of the 
house of the Rechabites, pots full of 
wine, and cups, and I said unto them, 
Drink ye wine. 

6 But they said, We will drink no 
wine : for <^ Jonadab the son of Re- 
chab our father commanded us, say- 
ing. Ye shall drink no wine, neither 
ye, nor your sons for ever : 

7 Neither shall ye build house, nor 
sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor 
have any : but all your days ye shall 
dvsrell in tents ; " that ye may live 
many days in the land where ye be 
strangers. 

8 Thus have we obeyed the voice 
of Jonadab the son of Rechab our 
father in all that he hath charged us, 
to drink no wine all our days, we, our 
wives, our sons, nor our daughters ; 

9 Nor to build houses for us to 
dwell in : neither have we vineyard, 
nor field, nor seed : 

10 But we have dwelt in tents, and 
have obeyed, and done according to 
all that Jonadab our father command- 
ed us. 

1 1 But it came to pass, when Ne- 
buchadrezzar king of Babylon came 
up into the land, that we said. Come, 
and let us go to Jerusalem for fear 
of the army of the Chaldeans, and 
for fear of the army of the Syrians : 
so we dwell at Jerusalem. 

12 1^ Then came the word of the 
Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, 

13 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel ; Go and tell the 
men of Judah and the inhabitants of 
Jerusalem, Will ye not f receive in- 
struction to hearken to my words ? 
saith the Lord. 

14 The words of Jonadab the son of 
Rechab, that he commanded his sons 
not to drink wine, are performed ; 
for unto this day they drink none, but 
obey their father's commandment: 
& notwithstanding I have spoken unto 
you, h rising early and speaking ; but 
ye hearkened not unto me. 

15 'I have sent also unto you all my 
servants the prophets, rising up early 
and sending them, saying, k Return 
ye now every man from his evil way, 
and amend your doings, and go not 
after other gods to serve them, and 
ye shall dwell in the land which I 
have given to you and to your fa-

ear, nor hearkened unto me. 

16 Because the sons of Jonadab the 
son of Rechab have performed the 
commandment of their father, which 
he commanded them ; but this people 
hath not hearkened unto me : 

17 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God of hosts, the God of Israel ; Be- 
hold, I will bring upon Judah and 
upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem 
all the evil that I have pronounced 
against them ; ^ because I have spoken 
unto them, but they have not heard ; 
and I have called unto them, but they 
have not answered. 

18 ^And Jeremiah said unto the 
house of the Rechabites, Thus saith 
the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; 
Because ye have obeyed the com- 
mandment of Jonadab your father, 
and kept all his precepts, and done 
according unto all that he hath com- 
manded you : 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
of hosts, the God of Israel ; f Jo- 
nadab the son of Rechab shall not 
want a man to •" stand before me for 
ever.

king Jehoiakim, being certified thereof, heaireth 
part of it, and burnetii the roll. 27 Jeremiah 
denounceth his judgment. 32 Baruch writeth a 
new copy. 

AND it came to pass in the fourth 
year of Jehoiakim the son of Jo- 
siah king of Judah, that this word 
came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, 
saying, 

2 Take thee a =^roll of a book, and 
''write therein all the words that I 
have spoken unto thee against Israel, 
and against Judah, and against <= all 
the nations, from the day I spake 
unto thee, from the days of ^ Josiah, 
even unto this day. 

3 elt may be that the house of Ju- 
dah will hear all the evil which I pur- 
pose to do unto them ; that they may 
f return every man from his evil way ; 
that I may forgive their iniquity and 
their sin. 

4 Then Jeremiah s called Baruch the 
son of Neriah : and ^ Baruch wrote 
from the mouth of Jeremiah all the 
words of the Lord, which he had

spoken unto him, upon a roll of a 
book. 

5 And Jeremiah commanded Ba- 
ruch, sajnng, I am shut up, I cannot 
go into the house of the Lord : 

6 Therefore go thou and read in the 
roll, which thou hast written from my 
mouth, the words of the Lord in the 
ears of the people in the Lord's house 
upon 'the fasting day : and also thou 
shalt read them in the ears of all Ju- 
dah that come out of their cities. 

7 ''It may be f ^^ey will present 
their supplication before the Lord, 
and will return every one from his 
evil way : for great is the anger and 
the fury that the Lord hath pro- 
nounced against this people. 

8 And Baruch the son of Neriah 
did according to all that Jeremiah 
the prophet commanded him, read- 
ing in the book the words of the 
Lord in the Lord's house. 

9 And it came to pass in the fifth 
year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah 
king of Judah, in the ninth month, 
lliat they proclaimed a fast before the 
Lord to all the people in Jerusalem, 
and to all the people that came from 
the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem. 

10 Then read Baruch in die book 
the words of Jeremiah in the house 
of the Lord, in the chamber of Ge- 
mariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, 
in the higher court, at the H'entrj' ofilj^"''; 
the new gate of the Lord's house, i';''-26-n>. 
in the ears of all the people. 

11 TlWhen Michaiah the son of 
Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had 
heard out of the book all the words 
of the Lord, 

12 Then he went down into the 
king's house, into the scribe's cham- 
ber: and lo, all the princes sat there, 
even Elishama the scribe, and De- 
laiah the son of vShemaiah, and Elna- 
than the son of Achbor, and Gema- 
riah the son of Shaphan, and Zede- 
kiah the son of Ilananiah, and all 
the princes. 

13 Then Michaiah declared unto 
them all the words that he had heard, 
when Baruch read the book in the 
ears of the people. 

14 Therefore all the princes sent 
Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son 
of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, un- 
to Baruch, saying, Take in thy

hand the roll wherein thou hast read 
in the ears of the people, and come. 
So Baruch the son of Neriah took 
the roll in his hand, and came unto 
them. 

15 And they said unto him, Sit 
down now, and read it in our ears. 
So Baruch read it in their ears. 

16 Now it came to pass, when they 
had heard all the words, they were 
afraid both one and other, and said 
unto Baruch, We will surely tell the 
king of all these words. 

17 And they asked Baruch, saying, 
Tell us now. How didst thou write 
all these words at his mouth ? 

18 Then Baruch answered them, 
He pronomiced all these words unto 
me with his mouth, and I wrote t/icm 
with ink in the book. 

19 Then said the princes unto Ba- 
ruch, Go hide thee, thou and Jere- 
miah ; and let no man know where 
ye be. 

20 1 And they went in to the king 
into the court, but they laid up the 
roll in the chamber of Elishama the 
scribe, and told all the words in the 
ears of the king. 

21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch 
the roll : and he took it out of Eli- 
shama the scribe's chamber. And 
Jehudi read it in the ears of tlie 
king, and in the ears of all the 
princes which stood beside die king. 

22 Now the king sat in "" the win- 
ter-house in the ninth month : and 
there was afire on the hearth burn- 
ing before him. 

23 And it came to pass, that when 
Jehudi had read three or four leaves, 
he cut it with the penknife, and cast 
it into the fire that was on the hearth, 
until all the roll was consumed in the 
fire that was on the hearth. 

24 Yet they were not afraid, nor 
Tent their garments, neither the 
king, nor any of his servants that 
heard all these words. 

25 Nevertheless Elnathan and De- 
laiali and Gemariah had made inter- 
cession to the king that he would not 
burn the roll : but he would not hear 
them. 

26 But the king commanded Jerah- 
meel the son || of Hammelech, and 
Seraiah the son of Azriel, and She- 
lemiah the son of Abdeel, to take 

781 



Baruch writeth a new copy. 

Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the 
prophet : but the Lord hid them. 

27 ^ Then the word of the Lord 
came to Jeremiah, after that the king 
had burned the roll, and the words 
which Baruch wrote at the mouth of 
Jeremiah, saying, 

28 Take thee again another roll, and 
write in it all the former words that 
were in the first roll, which Jehoia- 
kim king of Judah hath burned. 

29 And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim 
king of Judah, Thus saith the Lord ; 
Thou hast burned this roll, saying. 
Why hast thou written therein, say- 
ing. The king of Babylon shall cer- 
tainly come and destroy this land, and 
shall cause to cease from thence man 
and beast? 

30 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
of Jehoiakim king of Judah ; °He 
shall have none to sit upon the throne 
of David : and his dead body shall 
be Pcast out in the day to the heat, 
and in the night to the frost. 

31 And I will f punish him and his 
seed and his servants for their iniqui- 
ty ; and I will bring upon them, and 
upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 
and upon the men of Judah, all the 
evil that I have pronounced against 
them ; but they hearkened not. 

32 *ll Then took Jeremiah another 
roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, 
the sonof Neriah; who wrote therein 
from the mouth of Jeremiah all the 
words of the book which Jehoiakim 
king of Judah had burned in the fire : 
and there were added besides unto 
them many f like words.

The Chaldeans' return prophesied, 

phaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest 
to the prophet Jeremiah, saying. Pray 
now unto the Lord our God for us. 

4 Now Jeremiah came in and went 
out among the people : for they had 
not put him into prison. 

5 Then '^ Pharaoh's army m? as come 
forth out of Egypt : ^and when the 
Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem 
heard tidings of them, they departed 
from Jerusalem. 

6 11 Then came the word of the Lord 
unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 

7 Thus saith the Lord, the God of 
Israel ; Thus shall ye say to the king 
of Judah, ^that sent you unto me to 
inquire of me ; Behold, Pharaoh's 
army, which is come forth to help 
you, shall return to Egypt into their 
own land. 

8 g And the Chaldeans shall come 
again, and fight against this city, and 
take it, and burn it with fire. 

9 Thus saith the Lord ; Deceive 
not t yourselves, saying. The Chal- 
deans shall surely depart from us : 
for they shall not depart. 

10 ^For though ye had smitten the 
whole army of the Chaldeans that 
fight against you, and there remained 
hut f wounded men among them, yet 
should they rise up every man in his 
tent, and burn this city with fire. 

11 "H 'Audit came to pass, that when 
the armyof the Chaldeans was f bro- 
ken up from Jerusalem for fear of 
Pharaoh's army, 

12 Then Jeremiah went forth out 
of Jerusalem to go into the land 
of Benjamin, || to separate himself 
thence in the midst of the people. 

1 3 And when he was in the gate of 
Benjamin, a captain of the ward was 
there, whose name was Irijah, the 
son of Shelemiah, the son of Hana- 
niah ; and he took Jeremiah the pro- 
phet, saying, Thou fallest away to 
the Chaldeans. 

14 Then said Jeremiah, It is f false ; 
I fall not away to the Chaldeans. 
But he hearkened not to him : so 
Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought 
him to the princes. 

15 Wherefore theprinceswere wroth 
with Jeremiah, and smote him, ^and 
put him in prison in the house of 
Jonathan the scribe : for they had 
made that the prison. 

782 



The king of Babylon shall not come 
against you, nor against this land ? 

20 Therefore hear now, 1 pray thee, 

my lord the king : f let my suppli- 
cation, I pray thee, be accepted be- 
fore thee ; that thou cause me not to 
return to the house of Jonathan the 
scribe, lest I die there. 

21 Then Zedekiah the king com- 
manded that they should commit Je- 
remiah '"into the court of the prison, 
and tiiat they should give him daily 
a piece of bread out of the bakers' 
street, "until all the bread in the city 
were spent. Thus Jeremiah remain- 
ed hi the court of the prison.

16 TI When Jeremiah was entered 
into 'the dungeon, and into the |i ca- 
bins, and Jeremiah had remained 
there many days ; 

17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, 
and took him out : and the king ask- 
ed him secretly in liis house, and 
said, Is there any word from the 
Lord ? And Jeremiah said, There is : 
for, said he, thou shalt be delivered 
into the hand of the king of Babylon. 

18 Moreover, Jeremiah said unto 
king Zedekiah, What have I ofiend- 
ed against thee, or against thy ser- 
vants, or against this people, that ye 
have put me in prison ?

He is cast into the dungeon. 
the king, We beseech thee, Het this 
man be put to death : for thus he 
weakeneth the hands of the men of 
war that remain in this citv', and the 
hands of all the people, in speaking 
such words mito them : for this man 
seeketh not the -j- welfare of this 
people, but the hurt. 

5 Then Zedekiah the king said. 
Behold, he is in your hand : for the 
king is not he that can do any thing 
against you. 

6 gThen took they Jeremiah, and 
cast him into the dmigeon of INIal- 
chiah the son || of Hammelech, that 
was in the court of the prison : and 
they let down Jeremiah with cords. 
And in the dungeon there icas no 
water, but mire : so Jeremiah sunk 
in the mire. 

7 TI''Now when Ebed-melech the 
Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which 
was in the king's house, heard that 
they had put Jeremiah in the dun- 
geon ; the king then sitting in the 
gate of Benjamin ; 

8 Ebed-melech went forth out of 
the king's house, and spake to the 
king, saying, 

9 5ly lord the king, these men have 
done evil in all that they have done 
to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they 
have cast into the dungeon; and f he 
is like to die for hunger in the place 
where he is : for there is no more 
bread in the city. 

10 Then the king commanded Ebed- 
melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take 
from hence thirty men f whh thee, 
and take up Jeremiah the prophet out 
of the dungeon, before he die. 

11 So Ebed-melech took the men 
with him, and went into the house of 
the king under the treasury, and took 
thence old cast clouts and old rotten 
rags, and let them down by cords in- 
to the dungeon to Jeremiah. 

12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian 
said unto Jeremiah, Put now i/tesc 
old cast clouts and rotten rags under 
thine arm-holes under the cords. And 
Jeremiah did so. 

13 ' So they drew up Jeremiah with 
cords, and took him up out of the 
dungeon : and Jeremiah remained 
■^ in the court of the prison. 

14 H Then Zedekiah the king sent, 
and took Jeremiah the prophet unto

Jeremiah'' s advice to Zedeklah. 

him into the 1| third entty that is in 
the house of the Lord: and the king 
said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a 
thing ; hide nothing from me. 

15 Then Jeremiah said unto Zede- 
kiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt 
thou not surely put me to death? and 
if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not 
hearken unto me ? 

16 So Zedekiah the king sware se- 
cretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the 
Lord liveth, Hhat made us this soul, 
I will not put thee to death, neither 
will I give thee into the hand of 
these men that seek thy life. 

17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zede- 
kiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God 
of hosts, the God of Israel ; If thou 
wilt assuredly ■" go forth " unto the 
king of Babylon's princes, then thy 
soul shall live, and this city shall not 
be burned with fire ; and thou shalt 
live, and thy house : 

18 But if thou wilt not go forth to 
the king of Babylon's princes, then 
shall this city be given into the hand 
of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn 
it with fire, and othou shalt not es- 
cape out of their hand. 

19 And Zedekiah the king said un- 
to Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews 
that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest 
they deHver me into their hand, and 
they Pmock me. 

20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not 
deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, 
the voice of the Lord, which I speak 
unto thee : so it shall be well unto 
thee, and thy soul shall live. 

21 But if thou refuse to go forth, 
tliis is the word that the Lord hath 
shewed me : 

22 And beh6ld, all the women that 
are left in the king of Judah's house 
shall be brought forth to the king of 
Babylon's princes, and those women 
shall say, f Thy friends have set thee 
on, and have prevailed against thee : 
thy feet are sunk in the mire, and 
tliey are turned away back. 

23 So they shall bring out all thy 
wives and qthy children to the Chal- 
deans: and ""thou shalt not escape 
out of their hand, but shalt be taken 
by the hand of the king of Babylon : 
and f thou shalt cause this city to be

Jerusalem is taken, and

words, and thou shalt not die. 

25 But if the princes hear that I 
have talked with thee, and they come 
unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare 
unto us now what thou hast said unto 
the king, hide it not from us, and we 
will not put thee to death ; also what

26 Then thou shalt say unto them, 
^I presented my supplication before 
the king, that he would not cause me 
to return Ho Jonathan's house, to die 
there. 

27 Then came all the princes unto 
Jeremiah, and asked him : and he 
told them according to all these words 
that the king had commanded. So 
f they left off speaking with him ; for 
the matter was not perceived. 

28 So "Jeremiah abode in the court 
of the prison until the day that Jeru- 
salem was taken : and he was there 
when Jerusalem was taken. 

CHAP. XXXIX. 

1 Jerusalem is taken. 4 Zedekiah is made blind, 
and sent to Babylon. 8 The city ruinated, 9 the 
•people captivated. 1 1 Nebuchadrezzar' s charge 
for the good usage of Jeremiah. 15 God's pro- 
mise to Ebed-melech, 

IN the =^ ninth year of Zedekiah king 
of Judah, in the tenth month, 
came Nebuchadrezzar king of Ba- 
bylon and all his army against Jeru- 
salem, and they besieged it. 

2 And in the eleventh j^ear of Ze- 
dekiah, in the fourth month, the 
ninth day of the month, the city was 
broken up. 

3 '^And all the princes of the king 
of Babylon came in, and sat in the 
middle gate, even Nergal-sharezer, 
Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, 
Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all 
the residue of the princes of the king 
of Babylon. 

4 "U <= And it came to pass, that Avhen 
Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, 
and all the men of war, then they 
fled, and went forth out of the, city 
by night, by the way of the king's 
garden, by the gate betwixt the two 
walls : and he went out the way of 
the plain. 

5 But the Chaldeans' army pursued 
after them, and ^ overtook Zedekiah 
in the plains of Jericho: and when 
they had taken him, they brought 
him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of 

784 



the people carried away captive. 

Babylon to ^Riblah in the land of 
Hamath, where he f gave judgment 
upon him. 

6 Then the king of Babylon slew 
the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah be- 
fore his eyes: also the king of Baby- 
lon slew all the nobles of Judah. 

7 Moreover ^he put out Zedekiah's 
eyes, and bound him f with chains, 
to carry him to Babylon. 

8 H g And the Chaldeans burned the 
king's house, and the houses of the 
people, with fire, and brake down the 
walls of Jerusalem. 

9 ''Then Nebuzar-adan the ||t cap- 
tain of the guard carried away cap- 
tive into Babylon the remnant of the 
people that remained in the city, and 
those that fell away, that fell to him, 
with the rest of the people that re- 
mained. 

10 But Nebuzar-adan the captain | 
of the guard left of the poor of the 
people, which had nothing, in the 
land of Judah, and gave them vine- 
yards and fields fat the same time. 

1 1 H Now Nebuchadrezzar king of j 
Babylon gave charge concerning Je- 
remiah t to Nebu-^ar-adan the cap- 
tain of the guard, saying, i 

12 Take him, and flook well to 
him, and do him no harm; but do 
unto him even as he shall say unto! 
thee. 

13 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of 
the guard sent, and Nebushasban, 
Rab-saris, andNergal-sharezer, Rab- 
mag, and all the king of Babylon's 
princes ; 

14 Even they sent, ' and took Jere- 
miah out of the court of the prison, 
and committed him "^unto Gedaliah 
the son of 'Ahikam the son of Sha- 
phan,that he should carr}- him home : 
no he dwelt among the people. 

15 11 Now the word of the Lokd 
came unto Jeremiah, while he was 
shut up in the court of the prison, 
saying, 

16 Go and speak to ""Ebed-melech 
the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the 
Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; 
Behold, "I will bring my words upon 
this city for evil, and not for good ;

I Jeremiah, being set free by Nebvzar-adan, go- 
eth to Gedaliah, 7 The dispersed Jews repair 
unto him. 13 Johanan revealing IshmaeVs con- 
spiracy is not believed. 

THE word which came to Jeremi- 
ah from the Lord, ^ after that Ne- 
bu7ar-adan the captain of the guard 
had let him go from Ramah, when 
he had taken him being bound in 

II chains among all that were carried 
away captive of Jerusalem and Ju- 
dah, which were carried away cap- 
tive unto Babylon. 

2 And the captain of the guard took 
Jeremiah, and '' said unto him, The 
Lord thy God hath pronounced this 
evil upon this place. 

3 Now the Lord hath brought it, 
and done according as he hath said : 
"^because ye have sinned against the 
Lord, and have not obeyed his voice, 
therefore this thing is come upon you. 

4 And now, behold, I loose thee 
this day from the chains which |1 were 
upon thy hand. ^ If it seem good 
unto thee to come w ith me into Ba- 
bylon, come ; and f I will look well 
unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee 
to come with me into Babylon, for- 
bear : behold, *= all the land is before 
thee : whither it seemeth good and 
convenient for thee to go, thither go. 

5 Now while he was not yet gone 
back, he said. Go back also to Geda- 
Hahthe sonofx\hikam the son of Sha- 
phan, 'whom the king of Babylon 
hath made governor over the cities of 
Judah, and dwell with him among the 
people : or go wheresoever it seem- 
eth convenient unto thee to go. So 
the captain ofthe guard gave himvic- 
tuals and a reward, and let him go 

(5 fe' Then went Jeremiah unto Ge 
daliah the son of Ahikam to '' Miz- 
pah ; and dwelt with him among the 
people that were left in the land. 

7 TI ' Now when all the captains of 
the forces which were in the fields, 
even they and their men, heard that 
the king of Babylon had made Geda- 
liah the son of Ahikam governor in 
785 



Tile dispersed Jews resort to Gedaliah 

the land, .and had committed unto 
him men, and women, and children, 
and of 1^ the poor of the land, of them 
that were not carried away captive 
to Babylon ; 

8 Then they came to Gedaliah to 
Mizpah, ^ even Ishmael the son of Ne- 
thaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan 
the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the 
son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of 
Ephai the Netophathite, and Jeza- 
niah the son of a Maachatliite, they 
and their men. 

9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam 
the son of Shaphan sware unto them 
and to their men, saying. Fear not to 
serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the 
land, and serve the king of Babjdon, 
and it shall be well with you. 

10 As for me, behold, I will dwell 
at Mizpah, f to serve the Chaldeans, 
which will come unto us: but ye, 
gather ye wine, and summer fruits, 
and oil, and put them in your vessels, 
and dwell in your cities that ye have 
taken. 

1 1 Likewise when all the Jews that 
were in Moab, and among the Am- 
monites, and in Edom, and that were 
in all the countries, heard that the 
king of Babylon had left a remnant 
of Judah, and that he had set over 
them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam 
the son of Shaphan ; 

12 Even all the Jews returned out 
of all places whither they were driven, 
and came to the land of Judah, to Ge- 
daliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered 
wine and summer fruits very much. 

13 TI Moreover, Johanan the son of 
Kareah, and all the captains of the 
forces that were in the fields, came 
to Gedaliah to IMizpah, 

14 And said unto him. Dost thou 
certainly know that "Baalis the king 
of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael 
the son of Nethaniah f to slay thee ? 
But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam be- 
lieved them not. 

15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah 
spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, 
saying. Let me go, I pray thee, and I 
will slay Ishmael the son of Netha- 
niah, and no man shall know it : 
wherefore should he slay thee, that 
all the Jews which are gathered unto 
thee should be scattered, and the 
remnant in Judah perish ?

JEREMIAH. Ishmael murdereth Gedaliah. 

16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam 
said unto Johanan the son of Kareah, 
Thou shalt not do this thing: for 
thou speakest falsely of Ishmael. 
CHAP. XLL 

1 Ishniael, treacherousiij killing Gedaliah and 
others, purpuseth loith the residue to flee unto 
the Ammonites. 11 Johauanrecovereth the cap- 
tives, and miiideth to flee into Egypt. 

OW it came to pass in the se- 
venth month, a that Ishmael the 
son of Nethaniah the son of Eli- 
shama, of the seed royal, and the 
princes of the king, even ten men 
with him, came unto Gedaliah the 
son of Ahikam to Mizpah ; and there 
they did eat bread together in Miz- 
pah. 

2 Then arose Ishmael the son of 
Nethaniah, and the ten men that were 
with him, and "^ smote Gedaliah the 
son of Ahikam the son of Shapnan 
with the sword, and slew him, whom 
the king of Babylon had made go- 
vernor over the land. 

3 Ishmael also slew all the Jews that 
were with him, euen with Gedaliah, at 
Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were 
found there, and the men of war. 

4 And it came to pass the second 
day after he had slain Gedahah, and 
no man knew it, 

5 That there came certain from She- 
chem, from Shiloh, and from Sama- 
ria, ei^ew fourscore men, ^ having their 
beards shaven, and their clothes rent, 
and having cut themselves, with offer- 
ings and incense in theirhand, to bring 
them to ^ the house of the Lord. 

6 And Ishmael the son of Netha- 
niali went forth from Mizpah to meet 
them, f weeping all along as he went: 
and it came to pass, as he met them, 
he said unto them. Come to Gedaliah 
the son of Ahikam. 

7 And it was so, when they came in- 
to the midst of the city, that Ishmael 
the son of Nethaniah slew them, and 
cast them into the midst of the pit, 
he, and the men that were with'him. 

8 But ten men were found among 
them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us 
not: for we have treasures in the field, 
of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, 
and of honey. So he forbare, and 
slew them not among their brethren.

Johanan goeth against Ishmael. 

dalian, teas it fwhich Asa the king 
had made for fear of Baasha king of 
Israel: and Ishmael the son of Ne- 
thaniah filled it with them that were 
slain. 

10 Then Ishmael carried away cap- 
tive all the residue of the people that 
were in Mizpah. ?even the king's 
daughters, and all the people that re- 
mained in Mizpah, h\yhom Nebuzar- 
adan the captain of the guard had 
committed to Gedaliah the son of A- 
hikam : and Ishmael the son of Ne- 
thaniah carried them away captive, 
and departed to go over to 'the Am- 
monites. 

1 1 If But when Johanan the son of I 
Kareah, and all ^the captains of the 
forces that were with him. heard of 
all the evil that Ishmael the son of 
Nethaniah had done, 

12 Then they took all the men, and 
went to fight with Ishmael the son 
of Nethaniah, and found him by 'the 
great waters that are in Gibeon. 

1 3 Now it came to pass, that when 
all the people which icere with Ish- 
mael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, 
and all the captains of the forces that 
icerc with him, then they were glad. 

14 So all the people that Ishmael 
had carried away captive from Miz- 
pah cast about and returned, and went 
unto Johanan the son of Kareah. 

15 But Ishmael the son of Netha- 
niah escaped from Johanan with eight 
men, and went to the Ammonites. 

16 Then took Johanan the son of 
Kareah. and all the captains of the 
forces that a'e7-ewith him, all the rem- 
nant of the people whom he had re- 
covered from Ishmael the son of Ne- 
thaniah. from Mizpah, after that he 
had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahi- 
kara, even mighty men of war, and 
the women, and the children, and 
the eunuchs, whom he had brought 
again from Gibeon : 

17 And they departed, and dwelt in 
the habitation of "'Chimham, which 
is by Beth-lehem, to go to enter into 

Egypt' 

18 Because of the Chaldeans : for 
they were afraid of them, because Ish- 
mael the son of Nethaniah had slain 
Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, "whom 
the king of Babylon made governor 
in the land.

The captains promise obedience. 
CHAP. XLII. 

1 Johanan desirtlh Jeremiah to inquire of God, 
promising obedience to his ici/l. 7 Jeremiah 
assureth him of xafeiy in Judea. 13 and de- 
struction in Egypt', id He reproveth their hy- 
pocrisy, in requiring of the Lord that ichich 
they meant not. 

THEN all the captains of the 
forces, a and Johanan the son of 
Kareali, and Jezaniah the son of Ho- 
shaiah, and all the people from the 
least even imto tl>e greatest, came 
near, 

2 And said unto Jeremiah the pro- 
iphet, II Let, we beseech thee, our sup- 
plication be accepted before thee, and 
••pray for us unto the Lord thy God, 
even for all this remnant ; (for we are 
left hut <= a few of many, as thine eyes 
do behold us :) 

3 That the Lord thy God may 
shew us "^the way wherein we may 
walk, and the thing that we may do. 

4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said 
unto them. I have heard you ; behold, 
I will pray unto the Lord your God 
according to your words ; and it shall 
come to pass, /Ao/ ^ -whatsoever thing 
the Lord shall answer you, I will 

i declare it unto you ; I will fkeep no- 
thing back from you. 

5 Then they said to Jeremiah, e The 
Lord be a tnie and faithful witness 
between us. if we do not even accord- 
ing to all things for the which the 
Lord thy God shall send thee to us. 

6 Whether it he good, or whether it 
he evil, we will obey the voice of the 
Lord our God, to whom we send 
thee ; 'uhat it may be well w ith us, 
when we obey the voice of the Lord 
our God. 

7 II And it came to pass after ten 
days, that the word of the Lord 
came unto Jeremiah. 

8 Then called he Johanan the son 
of Kareah. and all the captains of the 
forces which icere with him, and all 
the people from the least even to the 
greatest, 

9 And said unto them. Thus saith 
the Lord, the God of Israel, unto 
whom ye sent me to present your 
supplication before him ; 

10 If ye will still abide in this land, 
then 'will I build you, and not pull 
ymi down, and I will plant you, and 
not pluck you up : for I ^ repent me 
of the evil that I have done unto you. 

1 1 Be not afraid of tlie king of Ba- 

787 



Jeremiah in vain dissuading., 

bylon, of whom ye are afraid ; be not 
atraid of him, saith the Lord: 'for 
I am with you, to save you, and to 
deUver you from his hand. 

12 And "^I will shew mercies unto 
you, that he may have mercy upon 
you, and cause you to return to your 
own land. 

13 TIBut if "ye say, We will not 
dwell in this land, neither obey the 
voice of the Lord your God, 

14 Saying, No ; but we will go in- 
to the land of Egypt, where we shall 
see no war, nor hear the sound of the 
trumpet, nor have hunger of bread : 
and there will we dwell : 

15 And now therefore hear the word 
of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah ; 
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
God of Israel ; If ye ° wholly set P your 
faces to enter into Egypt, and go to 
sojourn there ; 

16 Then it shall come to pass, that 
the sword, q which ye feared, shall 
overtake you there in the land of E- 
gypt, and the famine, whereof ye 
were afraid, f shall follow close after 
you there in Egypt; and there ye 
shall die. 

17 t So shall it be with all the men 
that set their faces to go into Egypt 
to sojourn there ; they shall die ^ by 
the sword, by the famine, and by the 
pestilence: and ^none of them shall 
remain or escape from the evil that I 
will bring upon them. 

18 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel ; As mine anger and 
my fury hath been * poured forth upon 
the inhabitants of Jerusalem ; so shall 
my fury be poured forth upon you, 
when ye shall enter into Egypt : and 
"ye shall be an execration, and an 
astonishment, and a curse, and a re- 
proach ; and ye shall see this place 
no more. 

19 li The Lord hath said concern 
ing you, O ye remnant of Judah ; 
*Go ye not into Egypt: know cer 
tainly that I have f admonished you 
this day. 

20For||yedissembledinyourhearts, 
when ye sent me unto the Lord your 
God, saying, y Pray for us unto the 
Lord our God ; and according unto 
all that the Lord our God shall say, 
80 declare unto us, and we will do it. 

21 And now I have this day declar-

1 Johanan, discrediting JeremiaK s propiiecy, car- 
rieth Jeremiah and others into Egypt. 8 Je- 
remiah prophesieth by a type the conquest of 
Egyjit by the Babylonians. 

ND it came to pass, that when 
Jeremiah had made an end of 
speaking unto all the people all the 
words of the Lord their God, for 
which the Lord their God had sent 
him to them, even all these words, 

2 a Then spake Azariah the son of 
Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of 
Kareah, and all the proud men, say- 
ing unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest 
falsely : the Lord our God hath not 
sent thee to say. Go not into Egypt 
to sojourn there : 

3 But Baruch the son of Neriah set- 
teth thee on against us, for to deliver 
us into the hand of the Chaldeans, 
that they might put us to death, and 
carry us away captives into Babylon. 

4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, 
and all the captains of the forces, and 
all the people, obeyed not the voice 
of the Lord, to dwell in the land of 
Judah. 

5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, 
and all the captains of the forces, took 
''all the remnant of Judah, that were 
returned from all nations, whither 
they had been driven, to dwell in the 
land of Judah; 

6 Even men, and women, and chil 
dren, cand the king's daughters, ^ and 
every person that Nebuzar-adan the 
captain of the guard had left with Ge- 
daliah the son of Ahikam the son of 
Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, 
and Baruch the son of Neriah. 

7 So they came into the land of E- 
gypt : for they obeyed not the voice 
of the Lord : thus came they even to 
^Tahpanhes. 

8 TI Then came the word of the Lord 
unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, 

9 Take great stones in thy hand, 
and hide them in the clay in the brick- 
kiln, which is at the entry of Pha-

raoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the 
sight of the men of Judah ; 

10 And say unto them, Thus saith 
the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; 
Behold, I will send and take Nebu- 
chadrezzar the king of Babylon, ^my 
servant, and will set his throne upon 
these stones that I have hid ; and he 
shall spread his royal pavilion over 
them. 

11 fAnd when he cometh, he shall 
smite the land of Egj^t, and deliver 
''such as are for death to death; and 
such as are for captivity to captivity; 
and such as are for the sword to the 
sword. 

12 And I will kindle a fire in the 
houses of ' the gods of Egypt ; and 
he shall burn them, and carry them 
away captives : and he shall array 
himself with the land of Eg}pt, as a 
shepherd puttethon his garment ; and 
he shall go forth from thence in peace. 

13 He shall break also the f images 
of IIBeth-shemesh, that is in the land 
of Egypt ; and the houses of the gods 
of the Egyptians shall he burn with 
fire.

wickedness, to burn no incense unto 
other gods. 

6 Wherefore i^my fury and mine 
anger was poured forth, and was kin- 
dled in the cities of Judah and in the 
streets of Jerusalem ; and they are 
wasted and desolate, as at this day. 

7 Therefore now thus saith tlie 
Lord, the God of hosts, the God of 
Israel ; Wherefore commit ye this 
great evil » against your souls, to cut 
oft' from you man and woman, child 
and suckling, f out of Judeih, to leave 
you none to remain ; 

8 In that ye "^provoke me unto 
wrath with the works of your hands, 
burning incense unto other gods in 
the land of Egj-pt, whither ye begone 
to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves 
off, and that ye might be 'a curse and 
a reproach among all the nations of 
the earth ? 

9 Have ye forgotten the f wicked- 
ness of your fathers, and the wicked- 
ness of the kings of Judah, and the 
wickedness of their wives, and your 
own wickedness, and the wickedness 
of your wives, which they have com- 
mitted in the land of Judah, and in 
the streets of Jerusalem ? 

10 They are not f humbled even un- 
to this day, neither have they "> fear- 
ed, nor walked in my law, nor in my 
statutes, that I set before you and 
before your fathers. 

11 "H Therefore thus saith the Lord 
of hosts, the God of Israel ; Behold, 
n I will set my face against you for 
evil, and to cut off all Judah. 

12 And I will take the remnant of 
Judah, that have set their faces to go 
into the land of Egypt to sojourn 
there, and °they shall all be consum- 
ed, and fall in the land of Egypt ; 
they shall even be consumed by the 
sword anc? by the famine: they shall 
die, from the least even unto the 
greatest, by the sword and by the fa- 
mine : and P they shall be an execra- 
tion, and an astonishment, and a 
curse, and a reproach. 

13 qpor I will punish them that 
dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have 
punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by 
the famine, and by the pestilence : 

14 So that none of the remnant of 
Judah, which are gone into the land 
of Egypt to sojourn there, shall es-

cape or remain, that they should re- 
turn into the land of Judah, to the 
which they fhave a desire to return 
to dwell there: for ""none shall return 
but such as shall escape. 

15 "[[Then all the men which knew 
that their wives had burned incense 
unto other gods, and all the women 
that stood by, a great multitude, even 
all the people that dwelt in the land 
of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Je- 
remiah, saying, 

16 As for the word that thou hast 
fipoken unto us in the name of the 
Lord, ^we will not hearken unto 
thee. 

17 But we will certainly do * what- 
soever thing goeth forth out of our 
own mouth, to burn incense unto the 
II " queen of heaven, and to pour out 
drink-offerings unto her, as we have 
done, Vt^e, and our fathers, our kings, 
and our princes, in the cities of Ju- 
dah, and in the streets of Jerusalem : 
for then had we plenty of f victuals, 
and were well, and saw no evil. 

18 But since we left off to burn in- 
' cense to the queen of heaven, and to 

pour out drink-offerings unto her, 
we have wanted all things, and have 
been consumed by the sword and by 
the famine. 

19 '^ And when we burned incense 
to the queen of heaven, and poured 
out drink-offerings unto her, did we 
make her cakes to worship her, and 
pour out drink-offerings unto her, 
without our ||men ? 

20 •[[ Then Jeremiah said unto all 
the people, to the men, and to the 
women, and to all the people which 
had given him that answer, saying, 

21 The incense that ye burned in 
the cities of Judah, and in the streets 
of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers, 
your kings and your princes, and the 
people of the land, did not the Lord 
remember them, and came it not into 
his mind ? 

22 ~So that the Lord could no Ion 
ger bear, because of the evil of your 
doings, and because of the abomina^ 
tionswhichye have committed; there, 
fore is your land y a desolation, and 
an astonishment, and a curse, with 
out an inhabitant, ^as at this day.

and because ye have sinned against

Severe judgments threatened 

the Lord, and have not obeyed the 
voice of the Lord, nor walked in his 
law, nor in his statutes, nor in his 
testimonies ; ^ therefore this evil is 
happened unto you, as at this day. 

24 Moreover, Jeremiah said unto all 
the people, and to all the women. 
Hear the word of the Lord, all Ju- 
dah bthat are in the land of Egypt : 

25 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel, saying; <=Ye and 
your wives have both spoken with 
your mouths, and fulfilled with your 
hand, saying. We will surely perform 
our vows that we have vowed, to 
burn incense to the queen of heaven, 
and to pour out drink-offerings unto 
her : ye will surely accomplish your 
vows, and surely perform your vows. 

26 Therefore hear ye the word of 
the Lord, all Judah that dwell in 
the land of Egypt ; Behold, ^ I have 
sworn by my great name, saith the 
Lord, that ^niy name shall no more 
be named in the mouth of any man 
of Judah in all the land of Egypt, 
saying, The Lord God liveth. 

27 f Behold, I will watch over them 
for evil, and not for good : and all 
the men of Judah that are in the land 
of Egypt g shall be consumed by the 
sword and by the famine, until there 
be an end of them. 

28 Yet ii a small number that escape 
the sword shall return out of the land 
of Egypt into the land of Judah ; and 
all the remnant of Judah, that ai-e 
gone into the land of Egypt to so- 
journ there, shall know whose 'words 
shall stand, f mine, or theirs. 

29 "H And this shall be a sign unto 
you, saith the Lord, that I will pu- 
nish you in this place, that ye may 
know that my words shall ^ surely 
stand against you for evil : 

30 Thus saith the Lord ; Behold, 
II will give Pharaoh-hophra king of 
Egypt into the hand of his enemies, 
and into the hand of them that seek 
his life ; as I gave ™ Zedekiah king 
of Judah into the hand of Nebuchad- 
rezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, 
and that sought his life.

Jeremiah prophesieth the 

of Neriah, when he had written these 
Avords in a book at the mouth of Je-

saying,

and he also shall be in derision. 

27 For i^was not Israel a derision 
unto thee ? °was he found among

28 O ye that dwell in ]Moab, leave

29 We have heard the ^pride of 
Moab, (he is exceeding proud,) his 
loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his 
pride, and the haughtiness of his 
heart. 

30 I know his wrath, saith the 
Lord ; but 27 shall not be so ; «|| his 
lies shall not so effect it. 

3 1 Therefore ' will I howl for Moab, 
and I will en.- out for all Moab ; my 
heart shall mourn for the men of 
Kir-heres. 

32 "O vine of Sibmah, I will weep 
for thee \nih. the weeping of Jnzer: 
thy plants are gone over the sea, 
they reach even to the sea of Jazer : 
the spoiler is fallen upon thy sum- 
mer fruits and upon thy vintage. 

33 And ^joy and gladness is taken 
from the plentiful field, and from

nerally upon all the house-tops of 
Moab, and in the streets thereof: 
for I have bi'oken Moab hke ^a ves- 
sel vi^herein is no pleasure, saith the 
Lord. 

39 They shall howl, saying, How 
IS it broken down ! how hath Moab 
turned the f back with shame ! so 
shall Moab be a derision and a dis- 
maying to all them about him. 

40 For thus saith the Lord ; Be- 
hold, she shall fly as an eagle, r.nd 
shall h spread his wings over Moab. 

4 1 ■ II Kerioth is taken, and the strong 
holds are surprised, and ''the mighty 
men's hearts in Moab at that day 
shall be as the heart of a woman in 
her pangs. 

42 And Moab shall be destroyed 
' from being a people, because he hath 
magnified Amse/f against the Lord. 

43 '"Fear, and the pit, and the snare, 
shall he upon thee, O inhabitant of 
Moab, saith the Lord. 

44 He that fleeth from the fear, shall 
fall into the pit ; and he that getteth 
up out of the pit, shall be taken in 
the snai-e : for " I will bring upon it, 
even upon Moab, the year of their 
visitation, saith the Lord. 

45 They that fled stood under the 
shadow of Heshbon because of the 
force : but « a fire shall come forth 
out of Heshbon, and a flame from 
the midst of Sihon, and P shall devour 
the comer of Moab, and the crown

The judgment of the Ammonites, 

CONCERNING || nhe Ammon- 
ites, thus saith the Lord ; Hath 
Israel no sons 1 hath he no heir? why 
then doth || their king inherit ''Gad, 
and his people dwell in his cities? 

2 Therefore behold, the days come, 
saith the Lord, that I will cause an 
alarm of war to be heard in ^Rabbah 
of the Ammonites ; and it shall be 
a desolate heap, and her daughters 
shall be burned with fire : then shall 
Israel be heir unto them that were 
his heirs, saith the Lord. 

3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoil-, 
ed : ciy, ye daughters of Rabbah, 
^gird you with sackcloth ; lament, 
and run to and fro by the hedges ; 
for II their king shall go into capti- 
vity, and his «= priests and his princes 
together. 

4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the 
valleys, || thy flowing valley, O ^back- 
sliding daughter ? that trusted in her 
treasures, assaying, Who shall come 
unto me? 

5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon 
thee, saith the Lord God of hosts, 
from all those that be about thee ; 
and ye shall be driven out every man 
right forth ; and none shall gather 
up him that wandereth. 

6 And ''afterward I will bring again 
the captivity of the children of Am- 
mon, saith the Lord. 

7 T[ ' Concerning Edom, thus saith 
the Lord of hosts : '^/s wisdom no 
more in Teman ? 'is counsel perish- 
ed from the prudent ? is their wis- 
dom vanished ? 

8 mFlee ye, || turn back, dwell deep, 
O inhabitants of "Dedan ; for I will 
bring the calamity of Esau upon him, 
the time that I will visit him. 

9 If o grape-gatherers come to thee, 
would they not leave some gleaning- 
grapes? if thieves by night, they will 
destroy f till they have enough. 

10 pBut I have made Esau bare, I 
have uncovered his secret places, dnd 
he shall not be able to hide himself: 
his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, 
and his neighbours, and qhe is not. ; 

1 1 Leave thy fatherless children, I 
will preserve them alive ; and let thy 
widows trust in me. 

12 For thus saith the Lord; Be- 
hold, rthey whose judgment was not 
to drink of the cup, have assuredly 

794 



6f Edom, Damascus, 

drunken : and a/i thou he that shall 
altogether go unpunished ? thou shalt 
not go unpunished, but thou shalt 
surely drink of it. 

13 For «I have sworn by myself, 
saith the Lord, that 'Bozrah shall 
become a desolation, a reproach, a 
waste, and a curse ; and all the cities 
thereof shall be perpetual wastes. 

14l have heard a "rumour from the 
Lord, and an ambassador is sent 
unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye 
together, and come against her, and 
rise up to the battle. 

15 For lo, I will make thee small 
among the heathen, and despised 
among men. 

16 Thy terribleness hath deceived 
thee, and the pride of thy heart, O 
thou that dwellest in the clefts of the 
rock, that boldest the height of the 
hill: ^though thou shouldest make 
thy >'nest as high as the eagle, ^I 
will bring thee down from thence, 
saith the Lord. 

17 Also Edom shall be adesolation : 
^every one that goeth by it shall be 
astonished, and shall hiss at all the 
plagues thereof. 

18 '* As in the overthrow of Sodom 
and Gomorrah and the neighbour 
cities thereof, saith the Lord, no 
man shall abide there, neither shall 
a son of man dwell in it. 

19 <: Behold, he shall come up like 
a lion from •'the swelling of Jordan 
against the habitation of the strong : 
but I will suddenly make him run 
away from her: and who is a chosen 
man,t/iatlma\ appoint over her? for 
«who is like me? and who will || ap- 
point me the time? and 'who is that 
shepherd that will stand before me? 

20 g Therefore hear the counsel of 
the Lord, that he hath taken against 
Edom ; and his purposes, that he hath 
purposed against the inhabitants of 
Teman : Surely the least of the flock 
shall draw them out : surely he shall 
make their habitations desolate with 
them. 

21 ''The earth is moved at the noise 
of their fall, at the cry the noise 
thereof -was heard in the f Red sea. 

22 Behold, ' he shall come up and 
fly as the eagle, and spread his wings 
overBozrah: and at that day shall 
the heart of the mighty men of E-

math is confounded, and Arpad : for 
they have heard evil tidings: they 
are f faint-hearted ; ^ there is soitow 
II on the sea; it cannot be quiet. 

24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and 
turneth herself to flee, and fear hath 
seized on 7;er; '"anguish and sorrows 
have taken her, as a woman in travail. 

25 How is "the city of praise not 
left, the city of my joy ! 

26 "Therefore her young men shall 
fall in her streets, and all the men of 
war shall be cut oflf in that day, saith 
the Lord of hosts. 

27 And I will kindle a P fire in the 
wall of Damascus, and it shall con- 
sume the palaces of Ben-hadad. 

28 TI "J Concerning Kedar, and con- 
cerning the kingdoms of Hazor, 
which Nebuchadrezzar king of Baby- 
lon shall smite, thus saith the Lord; 
Ai'ise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil 
>■ the men of the east. 

29 Their tents and their flocks 
shall they take away : they shall take 
to themselves their curtains, and all 
their vessels, and their camels ; and 
they shall cry unto them, 'Fear is on 
eveiy side. 

30 "l " Flee, f get you far off, dwell 
deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, 
saith the Lord; for Nebuchadrezzar 
king of Babylon hath taken counsel 
against you, and hath conceived a 
purpose against you. 

31 Arise, get you up unto ''the 
II wealthy nation, that dwelleth with- 
out care, saith the Lord, which have 
neither gates nor bars, which y dwell 
alone. 

32 And their camels shall be a 
booty, and the muhitude of their 
cattle a .spoil: and I will ^ scatter 
into all winds " them that are f in die 
utmost corners: and I will bring 
their calamity from ail sides thereof, 
saith the Lord. 

33 And Hazor ''shall be a dwelling 
for dragons, anrf a desolation forever: 
^ there shall no man abide there, nor 
any son of man dwell in it.

The judgment of Babylon, 

35 Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; 
Behold, I will break ^the bow of 
Elam, the chief of their might, 

36 And upon Elam will 1 bring the 
four winds from the four quarters of 
heaven, and f will scatter them toward 
all those winds ; and there shall be 
no nation whither the outcasts of 
Elam shall not come. 

37 For I will cause Elam to be dis- 
mayed before their enemies, and be- 
fore them that seek their life : and I 
will bring evil upon them, even my 
fierce anger, saith the Lord ; s and 
I will send the sword after them, till 
I h-ave consumed them : 

38 And I will ^ set my throne in 
Elam, and will destroy from thence 
the king and the princes, saith the 
Lord.

have sinned against the Lord, Pthe

8 "■Remove out of the midst of Ba-

of the Chaldeans, and be as the he- 
goats before the flocks. 

9 TI 3 For lo, I will raise and cause 
to come up against Babylon an as- 
sembly of great nations from the 
north country: and they shall *set 
themselves in array against her ; from 
thence she shall be taken: their ar- 
rows shall be as of a mighty || expert 
man ; '^ none shall return in vain. 

10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil : 
* all that spoil her shall be satisfied, 
saith the Lord. 

1 1 y Because ye were glad, because

12 Your mother shall be sore con- 
founded ; she that bare you shall be 
ashamed : behold, the hindermost of 
the nations shall be a wilderness, a 
dry land, and a desert. 

13 Because of the wrath of the 
Lord it shall not be inhabited, ^but 
it shall be wholly desolate : ^ every one 
that goeth by Babylon shall be asto- 
nished, and hiss at all her plagues.

Babylon round about: all ye ''that 
bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no 
arrows : for she hath sinned against 
the Lord. 

15 Shout against her round about: 
she hath ^ given her hand : her foun- 
dations are fallen, ^her walls are 
thrown down : for s it is the ven- 
geance of the Lord: take vengeance

king of Assyria. j 

19 °And 1 will bring Israel again] 
to his habitation, and he shall feed'

and they shall be dried up : for it is 
the land of ^graven images, and they 
are mad upon their idols. 

39 8 Therefore the wild beasts of 
the desert with the wild beasts of the 
islands shall dwell ihere,and the owls 
shall dwell therein : » and it shall be 
no more inhabited for ever ; neither 
shall it be dwelt in from generation 
to generation.

Gomorrah and the neighbour cities 
thereof, saith the Lord ; so shall no

God's severe judgment against 

man abide there, neither shall any 
son of man dwell therein. 

41 ^Behold, a people shall come 
from the north, and a great nation, 
and many kings shall be raised up 
from the coasts of the earth. 

42 y They shall hold the bow and 
the lance : ^ they are cruel, and will 
not shew mercy : ^ their voice shall 
roar like the sea, and they shall ride 
upon horses, every one put in array, 
like a man to the battle, against thee, 

daughter of Babylon. 

43 The king of Babylon hath heard 
the report of them, and his hands 
waxed feeble : ^ anguish took hold 
of him, and pangs as of a woman in 
travail. 

44 c Behold, he shall come up like 
a lion from the swelling of Jordan 
unto the habitation of the strong : 
but I will make them suddenly run 
away from her : and who is a chosen 
jna?i, that I may appoint over her ? 
for who is like me ? and who will 
\\ appoint me the time ? and ^ who 
is that shepherd that will stand be- 
fore me ? 

45 Therefore hear ye ^ the counsel 
of the Lord, that he hath taken 
against Babylon ; and his purposes, 
that he hath purposed against the 
land of the Chaldeans : Surely the 
least of the flock shall draw them 
out : surely he shall make their ha- 
bitation desolate with them. 

46 '"At the noise of the taking of 
Babylon the earth is moved, and the 
cry is heard among the nations.

1 The severe judgment of God against Babylon 
in. re'^enge of Israel. 59 Jeremiah dclivereth 
the book of this prophecy to Seraiah, to be cast 
into Euphrates, in token of the perpetual sink- 
ing of Babylon. 

?HUS saith the Lord ; Behold, 
I will raise up against Babylon, 
and against them that dwell in the 
■J- midst of them that rise up against 
me, ^ a destroying wind ; 

2 And will send unto Babylon, "^ fan 
ners that shall fan her, and shall 
empty her land : ^ for in the day of 
trouble they shall be against her round 
about.

brigandine : and spare ye not her

4 Thus the slain shall fall in the 
land of the Chaldeans, f and they that 
are thrust through in her streets. 

5 For Israel hath not been forsaken, 
nor Judah of his God, of the Lord 
of hosts ; though their land was fill- 
ed with sin against the Holy One of 
Israel. 

6 s Flee out of the midst of Baby- 
lon, and deliver every man his soul : 
be not cut off in her iniquity : for 
^ this is the time of the Lord's ven- 
geance ; 'he will render unto her a 
recompense. 

7 '^ Babylon hath been a golden cup 
in the Lord's hand, that made all 
the earth drunken : Hhe nations have 
drunken of her wine ; therefore the 
nations ™are mad. 

8 Babylon is suddenly ° fallen and 
destroyed: ^howl for her; Ptake 
balm for her pain, if so be she may 
be healed. 

9 We would have healed Babylon, 
but she is not healed : forsake her, 
and qlet us go every one into his own 
country : ■■ for her judgment reacheth 
mito heaven, and is lifted up even to 
the skies. 

10 The Lord hath = brought forth 
our righteousness : come, and let us 
'declare in Zion the work of the 
Lord our God. 

11" Make f bright the arrows ; ga- 
ther the shields : ^the Lord hath 
raised up the spirit of the kings of 
the Medes : y for his device is against 
Babylon, to destroy it ; because it is 
^the vengeance of the Lord, the 
vengeance of his temple. 

12 3^ Set up the standard upon the 
walls of Babylon, make the watch 
strong, set up the watchmen, pre- 
pare the f ambushes : for the Lord 
hath both devised and done that 
which he spake against the inhabit- 
ants of Babylon.

God''s severe judgment against 

15 fHe hath made the earth by his 
power, he hath estabhshed the world 
by his wisdom, and &hath stretched 
out the heaven by his understanding. 

16 ''When he uttereth his voice, 
there is a || multitude of waters in the 
heavens; and 'he causeth the vapours 
to ascend from the ends of the earth: 
he maketh lightnings with rain, and 
bringeth forth the wind out of his 
treasures. 

17 k Every man ||is brutish by his 
knowledge ; every founder is con- 
founded by the graven image : 'for 
his molten image is falsehood, and 
there is no breath in them. 

18 "iThey are vanity, the work of 
errors : in the time of their visitation 
they shall perish. 

19 "The Portion of Jacob isnot like 
them ; for he is the former of all 
things : and Israel is the rod of his 
inheritance : the Lord of hosts is his 
name. 

20 °Thou a>-t my battle-axe, and 
weapons of war : for || with thee will 
1 break in pieces the nations, and 
with thee will I destroy kingdoms ; 

21 And with thee will I break in 
pieces the horse and his rider ; and 
with thee will I break in pieces the 
chariot and his rider ; 

22 With thee also will I break in 
pieces man and woman ; and with 
thee will I break in pieces Fold and 
young ; and with thee will I break in 
pieces the young man and the maid ; 

23 I will also break in pieces with 
thee the shepherd and his flock ; and 
with thee will I break in pieces the 
husbandman and his yoke of oxen ; 
and with thee will I break in pieces 
captains and rulers. 

24 <5And I will render unto Baby- 
lon and to all the inhabitants of Chal- 
dea all their evil that they have done 
in Zion in your sight, saith the Lord. 

25 Behold, I am against thee, ■'O 
destroying mountain, saith the Lord, 
which destroyest all the earth : and I 
will stretch out my hand upon thee, 
and roll thee down from the rocks, 
"and will make thee a burnt moun- 
tain.

Babylon in i^evenge of Israel. 

27 "Set ye up a standard in the land, 
blow the trumpet among the nations, 
-prepare the nations against her, call 
together against her y the kingdoms 
of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz ; 
appoint a captain against her; cause 
the horses to come up as the rough 
caterpillars. 

28 Prepare against her the nations 
with ^ the kings of the Medes,the cap- 
tains thereof, and all the rulers there- 
of, and all the land of his dominion. 

29 And the land shall tremble and 
sorrow ; for every purpose of the 
Lo'rd shall be performed against Ba- 
bylon, ^to make the land of Babylon 
a desolation without an inhabitant. 

30 The mighty men of Babylon 
have forborne to fight, they have re- 
mained in their holds : their might 
hath failed ; ^ they became as women : 
they have burned her dwelling-pla- 
ces ; = her bars are broken. 

31 ''One post shall run to meet 
another, and one messenger to meet 
another, to shew th3 king of Babylon 
that his city is taken at one end, 

32 And that ^the passages are stop- 
ped, and the reeds they have burned 
with fire, and the men of war are 
affrighted. 

33 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
the God of Israel; The daughter of 
Babylon is '"like a threshing-floor, " \\ it 
is time to thresh her : yet a little 
while, •'and the time of her harvest 
shall come. 

34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Ba- 
bylon hath 'devoured nic, he hath 
crushed me, he hath made me an 
empty vessel, he hath swallowed me 
up like a dragon, he hath filled his 
belly with my delicates, he hath cast 
me out. 

35 t The violence done to me and 
to my II flesh be upon Babylon, shall 
the {inhabitant of Zion say; and. 
My blood upon the inhabitants of 
Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say. 

36 Therefore thus saith the Lord ; 
Behold, ^ 1 will plead thy cause, and 
take vengeance for thee ; 'and I will 
dry up her sea, and make her springs 
dry. 

37 "'And Babylon shall become 
heaps, a dwelling-place for dragons, 
" an astonishment, and a hissing, 
without an inhabitant. 

799 



God^s judgment against Babylon. 

38 They shall roar together hke h- 
ons: they shall || yell as lions' whelps. 

39 In their heat I will make their 
feasts, and °I will make them drunk- 
en, that they may rejoice, and sleep 
a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith 
the Lord. 

40 I will bring them down like 
lambs to the slaughter, like rams with 
he-goats. 

41 How is PSheshach taken! and 
how is q the praise of the whole earth 
sui-prised ! how is Babylon become 
an astonishment among the nations ! 

42 ""The sea is come up upon Ba- 
bylon : she is covered with the mul- 
titude of the waves thereof 

43 =Her cities are a desolation, a 
dry land, and a wilderness, a land 
wherein no man dwelleth, neither 
doth any son of man pass thereby. 

44 t And I will punish Bel in Baby- 
lon, and I will bring forth out of his 
mouth that which he hath swallowed 
up: and the nations shall not flow 
together any more unto him : yea, 
" the wall of Babylon shall fall. 

45 *My people, go ye out of the 
midst of her, and deliver ye every 
man his soul from the fierce anger of 
the Lord. 

46 And II lest your heart faint, and 
ye fear yfor the rumour that shall be 
heard in the land ; a rumour shall 
both come one year, and after that in 
another year shall come a rumour, and 
violence in the land, ruler against 
ruler. 

47 Therefore behold, the days come, 
that ^ I will fdo judgment upon the 
graven images of Babylon: and her 
whole land shall be confounded, and 
all her slain shall fall in the midst of 
her. 

48 Then ^^the heaven and the earth, 
and all that is therein, shall sing for 
Babylon: i* for the spoilers shall come 
unto her from the north, saith the 
Lord. 

49 II As Babylon hath caused the 
slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon 
shall fall the slain of all 1| the earth. 

50 <=Yethathave escaped the sword, 
go away, stand not still : remember 
the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem

Lord's house. 

52 Wherefore behold, the days 
come, saith the Lord, ^that I will 
do judgmentuponher graven images: 
and through all her land the wounded 
shall groan. 

53 f Though Babylon should mount 
up to heaven, and though she should 
fortify the height of her strength, yet 
from me shall spoilers come unto her, 
saith the Lord. 

54 g A sound of a cry cometh from 
Babylon, and great destruction from 
the land of the Chaldeans : 

55 Because the Lord hath spoiled 
Babylon, and destroyed out of her 
the great voice : when her waves do 
roar like great waters, a noise of their 
voice is uttered : 

56 Because the spoiler is come up- 
on her, even upon Babylon, and her 
mighty men are taken, every one of 
their bows is broken : '>for the Lord 
God of recompences shall surely re- 
quite, 

57 'And I will make drunk her 
princes, and her wise men, her cap- 
tains, and her rulers, and her mighty 
men : and they shall sleep a perpetual 
sleep, and not wake, saith '^the King, 
whose name is the Lord of hosts. 

58 Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; 
^The broad walls of Babylon shall 

be utterly |1 broken, and her highgates 
shall be burned with fire ; and "Uhe 
people shall labour in vain, and the 
folk in the fire, and they shall be 
weary.

of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah,when 
he went || with Zedekiah the king of 
Judah into Babylon in the fourth

loas a II quiet prince. 

60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all 
the evil that should come upon Ba- 
bylon, even all these words that are 
written against Babylon. 

61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah. 
When thou comest to Babylon, ana 
shalt see, and shalt read all these

ZEDEKIAH was ^one and twen-

reign, and he reigned eleven years in 
Jerusalem. And his mother's name 
was Hamutal the daughter of Jere- 
miah of Libnah. 

.2 And he did that ichich was evil 
in the eyes of the Lord, according 
to all that Jehoiakim had done. 

3 For through the anger of the 
Lord it came to pass in Jerusalem 
and Judah, till he had cast them out 
from his presence, that Zedekiah re- 
belled against the king of Babylon. 

4 Tf And it came to pass in the 
*• ninth year of his reign, in the tenth 
month, in the tenth darj of the month, 
/Aa^ Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon 
came, he and all his army, against 
Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and 
built forts against it round about. 

5 So the city was besieged unto the 
eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 

6 And in the fourtli month, in the 
ninth dai/ of the month, tiie famine 
was sore in the city, so that there 
was no bread for the people of the

7 Then the city was broken up, and

out of the city by night by tiie way of 
the gate between the two walls, which 
was by the king's garden ; (now the 
Chaldeans were by the city round

8 HBut the army of the Chaldeans

Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho ;

enemies prosper ; for the Lord hath 
afflicted her ^for the multitude of her 
transgressions: her 'children are gone 
into captivity before the enemy. 

6 And from the daughter of Zion 
all her beauty is departed : her princes 
are become like harts that find no 
pasture, and they are gone ^Yithout 
strength before the pursuer. 

7 Jerusalem remembered in the days 
of her affliction and of her miseries 
ail her || pleasant things that she had 
in the days of old, when her people 
fell into the hand of the enemy, and 
none did help her : the adversaries saw 
her, and did mock at her sabbaths. 

8 '"Jerusalem hath grievously sin- 
ned ; therefore she f is removed : all 
that honoured her despise her, be- 
cause "they have seen her naked- 
ness : yea, she sigheth, and turneth 
backward. 

9 Her filthiness is in her skirts ; she 
"remembereth not her last end ; there- 
fore she came down wonderfully: 
P she had no comforter. O Lord, be- 
hold my affliction : for the enemy 
hath magnified himself. 

1 The adversary hath spread out his 
hand upon 'lall her || pleasant things: 
for she hath seen that nha heathen 
entered into her sanctuary-, whom 
thou didst command that ^ they should 
not enter into thy congregation. 

11 All her people sigh, 4hey seek 
bread; they have given their pleasant 
things for meat || to relieve the soul : 
see, O Lord, and consider; for I am 
become vile.

that f pass by.' behold, and see "if 
there be any sorrow like unto my sor- 
row, which is done unto me, where- 
with the Lord hath afflicted me in 
the day of his fierce anger. 

13 From above hath he sent fire in- 
to my bones, and it prevaileth against 
them : he hath •'' spread a net ibr my 
feet, he hath turned me back : he hath 
made me desolate ««(/ faint alkhe day. 

14 yThe yoke of my transgressions 
is bound by his hand : they are wreath-

eth round about. 

4 'iHe hath bent his bow like an

were pleasant to the eye in the taber- 
nacle of the daughter of Zion : he 
poured out his fury like fire. 

5 ''The Lord was as an enemy: he 
hath swallowed up Israel, 'he hath

destroyed his strong holds, and hath 
increased in the daughter of Judah

6 And he hath violently "> taken a-

ces of the assembly: ^the Lord hath

17 And thou hast removed my soul 
far off from peace : I forgat f pros-

18 "And I said, My strength and 
my hope is perished from the Lord : 

19 II Remembering mine affliction 
and my misezy, Pthe wormwood and 
the gall. 

20 My soul hath them still in re- 
membrance, and is f humbled in me. 

21 This I f recall to my mind, theio- 
fore have I hope. 

22 II <J/if is of the Lord's mercies 
that we are not consumed, because 
his compassions fail not. 

23 They are new ■■ every morning: 
great is thy faithfulness. 

24 The Lord is my ^portion, saith 
my soul; therefore will 1 hope in him. 

25 The Lord is good unto them 
that twait for him, to the soul that 
seeketh him. 

26 It is good that a man should 
both hope "and quietly wait for the 
salvation of the Lord. 

27 ^Itis good for a man that he 
bear the yoke in his youth. 

28 >He'sitteth alone, and keepeth 
silence, because he hath borne it 
upon him.

dust ; if so be there may be hope.

smiteth him : he is filled full witii 
reproach. 

31 ''For the Lord will not cast off" 
for ever : 

32 But though he cause grief, yet 
will he have compassion according to 
the multitude of his mercies. 

33 For <^he doth not afflict f will- 
ingly, nor grieve the children of men. 

34 To crush under his feet all the 
prisoners of the earth, 

35 To turn aside the right of a man 
before the face of || the Most High, 

36 To subvert a man in his cause, 
^i\\e Lord || approveth not. 

37 1 Who is lie <^that saith, and it 
cometh to pass, when the Lord com- 
mandeth it not ? 

38 Out of the mouth of the Most 
High proceedeth not '"evil and good ?

42 k We have transgressed and have 
rebelled : thou hast not pardoned. 

43 Thou hast covered with anger, 
and persecuted us : Hhou hast slain, 
thou hast not pitied. 

44 Thou hast covered thyself with 
a cloud, ™that our prayer should not 
pass through. 

45 Thou hast made us as the "off- 
scouring and refuse in the midst of 
the people. 

46 oAll our enemies have opened 
their mouths against us.

1 Zion hcwaileih her pitiful estate. 1 3 She con- 
fesseth her sins. 21 Edom is threatened. 22 
Zion is comforted, 

OW is the gold become dim ! 
how is the most fine gold 
changed I the stones of the sanc- 
tuary are poured out ''^in the top of 
every street. 

2 The precious sons of Zion, com- 
parable to fine gold, how are they 
esteemed ''as earthen pitchers, the 
work of the hands of the potter ! 

3 Even the H sea-monsters draw out 
the breast, they give suck to their 
young ones : the daughter of my 
people is become cruel, ^tike the os- 
triches in the wilderness. 

4 '^ The tongue of the sucking child 
cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for 
thirst: ^ the young children ask bread, 
a7id no man breaketh it unto them. 

5 They that did feed delicately are 
desolate in the streets : they that were 
brought up in scarlet f embrace dung- 
hills. 

6 For the |j punishment of the ini- 
quity of the daughter of my people is 
greater than the punishment of the sin 
of Sodom, that was s overthrown as in 
a moment, and no hands stayed on her. 

7 Her Nazarites were purer than 
snow, they were whiter than milk, 
they were more ruddy in body than 
rubieSy their polishing was of sap- 
phire : 

8 Their visage rs f i" blacker than a 
coal ; they are not known in the 
streets : 'their skin cleaveth to their 
bones ; it is withered, it is become 
like a stick. 

9 The]/ that be slain with the sword 
are better than they that be slain with 
hunger : for these f pine away, strick- 
en through for want of the fruits of 
the field. 

10 ''The hands of the 'pitiful wo- 
men have sodden their own children: 
they were their "> meat in the destruc- 
tion of the daughter of my people. 

11 The Lord hath accomplished 
his fury ; "he hath poured out his 

806 



wretched condition of Zion. 

fierce anger, and ° hath kindled a fire 
.n Zion, and it hath devoured the 
foundations thereof. 

12 The kings of the earth, and all 
the inhabitants of the world, would 
not have believed that the adversary- 
and the enemy should have entered 
into the gates of Jerusalem. 

13 "ilPFor the sins of her prophets, 
owe/ the iniquities of her priests, ithat 
have shed the blood of the just in the 
midst of her, 

14 They have wandered as blind 
men in the streets, fthey have pol- 
luted themselves with blood, || =* so 
that men could not touch their gar- 
ments. 

15 They cried unto them. Depart 
ye; jj it is 'unclean ; depart, depart, 
touch not : when they fled away and 
wandered, they said among the hea- 
then, They shall no more sojourn 
there. 

IG The II anger of the Lord hath 
divided them ; he will no more regard 
them : " they respected not the persons 
of the priests, they favoured not the 
elders. 

17 As for us, «our eyes as yet failed 
for our vain help: in our watching 
we have watched for a nation that 
could not save us. 

18 "They hunt our steps, that we 
cannot go in our streets : our end is 
near, our days are fulfilled; for >our 
end is come. 

1 9 Our persecutors are ^ swifter than 
the eagles of the heaven : they pur- 
sued us upon the mountains, they laid 
wait for us in the wilderness. 

20 The a breath of our nostrils, the 
anointed of the Lord, ''was taken 
in their pits, of whom we said. Under 
his shadow we shall hve among the 
heathen. 

21 ^'^ Rejoice and be glad, O daugh- 
ter of Edom, that dwellest in the 
land of Uz; <*the cup also shall pass 
through unto thee: thou shalt be 
drunlcen,andshalt make thyself naked, 

22 TI ^ II The punishment of thine 
iniquity is accomplished, O daughter 
of Zion ; he will no more carr\' thee 
away into captivity : f he will visit 
thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; 
he will II discover thy sins.

EMEMBER, O Lord, what is 
come upon us: consider, and 
behold ''our reproach. 

2 •= Our inheritance is turned to 
strangers, our houses to aliens. 

3 We are orphans and fatherless, 
our mothers are as widows. 

4 "We have drunken our water for 
money ; our wood f is sold unto us, 

5 <^f Our necks are under persecu- 
tion: we labour, and have no rest. 

6 e We have given the hand ^to the 
Egyptians, and to the Ass}Tian3, to 
be satisfied with bread, 

7 sOur fathers have sinned, and 
^are not; and we have borne their 
iniquities, 

8 'Senants have ruled over us: 
there is none that doth deliver us 
out of their hand. 

9 We gat our bread with the peril 
of our lives because of the sword of 
the wilderness. 

10 Our ''skin was black like an oven 
because of the || terrible famine. 

1 1 ' They ravished the women m 
Zion, and the maids in the cities of

hand: ""the faces of elders were not 
honoured.

CHAP I. 

1 T%e time of EzehieVs prophecy at Clieiar. 4 
his vision of four cherubims, 15 of the four 
wheels, 26 and of the glory of <3od. 

NOW it came to pass in the thir- 
tieth year, in the fourth month, 
in the fifth day of the month, as I was 
among the j- captives ^bythe river of 
ChehSiY,that ''the heavens were open- 
ed, and I saw <= visions of God, 

2 In the fifth day of the month, 
which was the fifth year of '^ king 
Jehoiachin's captivity, 

3 The word of the Lord came ex- 
pressly unto f Ezekiel the priest, 
the son of Buzi, in the land of the 
Chaldeans by the river Chebar ; and 
« the hand of the Lord was there 
upon him. 

4 "II And I looked, and behold, fa 
whirlwind came sout of the north, a 
great cloud, and a fire f infolding 
itself, and a brightness was about it, 
and out of the midst thereof as the 
colour of amber, out of the midst of 
the fire. 

5 ^Also out of the midst thereof 
came the likeness of four living crea- 
tures. And ' this was their appear- 
ance; they had ^the hkeness of a 
man. 

6 And everyone had four faces, and 
every one had four wings. 

7 And their feetz^^ere f straight feet; 
and the sole of their feet was like the 
sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled 
Mike the colour of burnished brass. 

8 '"And they had the hands of a 
man under their wings on their four 
sides ; and they four had their faces 
and their wings. 

9 "Their wings were joined one to 
another ; « they turned not when they 
went ; they went every one straight 
forward. 

10 As for P the likeness of their faces, 
they four qhad the face of a man 
*■ and the face of a lion, on the right 
side : s and they four had the face of 
an ox on the left side ; Uhey four also 
had the face of an eagle. 

1 1 Thus were their faces : and their 
wings were || stretched upward ; two

and returned <= as the appearance of 
a flash of lightning. 

1 5 TI Now as I beheld the living 
creatures, behold ^ one wheel upon 
the earth by the living creatures, 
with his four faces. 

16 ^The appearance of the wheels 
and their work was f like unto the 
colour of a beryl : and they four had 
one likeness : and their appearance 
and their work was as it were awheel 
in the middle of a wheel. 

17 When they went, they went up- 
on their four sides: Sandthej turned 
not when they went. 

18 As for their rings, they were so 
high that they were dreadful ; and 
their || rings were "ifull of eyes round 
about them four. 

19 And 'when the living creatures 
went, the wheels went by them : and 
when the living creatures were lift- 
ed up from the earth, the wheels 
were lifted up. 

20 k Whithersoever the spirit was 
to go, they went, thither was their 
spirit to go ; and the wheels were 
lifted up over against them: ^for the 
spirit II of the living creature was 
in the wheels. 

21 '"When those went, ^Aese went ; 
and when those stood, these stood; 
and when those were lifted up from 
the earth, the wheels were lifted up 
over against them : for the spirit || of 
the living creature was in the wheels. 

22 "And the likeness of the firma- 
ment upon the heads of the living 
creature was as the colour of the ter- 
rible crystal, stretched forth over 
their heads above. 

23 And under the firmament were 
their wings straight, the one toward 
the other: every one had two, which 
covered on this side, and eveiy one

had two, Av hich covered on that side, 
their bodies. 

24 ° And when they went, I heard 
the noise of their wings, p hke the 
noise of great waters, as ithe voice 
of the Almighty, the voice of speech, 
as the noise of a host : when they 
stood, they let down their wings. 

25 And there was a voice from the 
firmament that was over their heads, 
when they stood, and had let dowTi 
their wings. 

26 Tl"^ And above the firmament that 
was over their heads was the likeness 
of a throne, i^as the appearance of a 
sapphire stone: and upon the like 
ness of the throne was the likeness 
as the appearance of a man above 
upon it. 

27 ' And I saw as the colour of am- 
ber, as the appearance of fire round 
about within it, from the appearance 
of his loins even upward, and from 
the appearance of his loins even 
downward, I saw as it were the ap- 
pearance of fire, and it had bright- 
ness round about. 

28 "As the appearance of the bow 
that is in the cloud in the day of rain, 
so was the appearance of the bright 
ness round about. ''This was the ap 
pearance of the likeness of the glory 
of the Lord. And when I saw it, y\ 
fell upon my face, and I heard a voice 
of one that spake.

2 So I opened my mouth, and he

I Under the type of a siege is shewed the time 
from the defection of Jeroboamto the captivity. 
9 By the provision of the siege, is shewed the 
hardness of the famine. 

THOtj also, son of man, take 
thee a tile, and lay it before

2 And lay siege against it, and build

4 Lie thou also upon thy left side, 
and lay tiie iniquity of the house of 
Israel upon it : according \o the num- 
ber of the days that thou shalt lie 
upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity. 

5 For I have laid upon thee the 
years of their iniquity, according to 
the number of the days, three hun- 
dred and ninety days : ''so shalt thou 
bearthe iniquity ofthe house of Israel. 

6 And when tliou hast accomplished 
them, lie again on thy right side, and 
thou shalt bear the iniquity of the 
house of Judah forty days : I have 
appointed thee f each day for a year. 

7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face 
toward the siege of Jerusalem, and 
thine arm skull he uncovered, and 
thou shalt prophesy against it. 

8 ^And behold, I will lay bands 
upon thee, and thou shalt not turn 
thee -j- from one side to another, till 
thou hast ended the days of thy siege. 

9 KTake thou also unto thee wheat, 
and barley, and beans, and lentiles, 
and millet, and || fitches, and put 
them in one vessel, and make thee 
bread thereof, according to the num- 
l)er of the days that thou shalt lie 
upon thy side; three hundred and 
ninety days shalt thou eat thereof. 

10 And thy meat which tliou shalt 
eat shall be by weight, twenty she- 
kels a day: from time to time shalt 
thou eat it. 

1 1 Thou shalt drink also water by 
measure, the sixth part of a bin:

dung that cometh out of man, in

1 Under the type of hair, 5 is shewed the judg- 
ment of Jerusalem for their rebellion, J2 by 
famine, sword, and dispersion. 

AND thou, son of man, take thee 
a sharp knife, take thee a bar- 
ber's razor, =^and cause it to pass 
upon thy head and upon thy beard: 
then take thee balances to weigh, 
and divide the hair. 

2 ^ Thou shalt burn witli fire a third

•^ the days of the siege are I'ulfillcd : 
and thou shalt take a third part, and 
smite about it with a knife: and a 
third part thou shalt scatter in the

after them. 

3 « Thou shalt also take thereof a 
few in number, and bind them in thy 
t skirts. 

4 Then take of them again, and 
feast them into the midst of the fire, 
and burn them in the fire: /or there- 
of shall a fire come forth into all the 
house of Israel. 

5 HThus saith the Lord God ; This 
{* Jerusalem ; I have set it in the 
midst of the nations and countries 
that are round about her. 

G And she hath changed my judg- 
ments into wickedness more than tiie 
nations, and my statutes more than 
the countries that are round about 
her: for they have refused my judg- 
ments and my statutes, they have 
not walked in them. 

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God : Becau.se ye muhiplied more 
than the nations that are round a- 
bout you, and have not walked in 
my statutes, neither have kept my 
judgments, ^neither have done ac-

thee, and will execute judgments in 
the midst of thee in the sight of the 
nations. 

9 ^ And I will do in thee that which 
I have not done, and whereunto 1 
will not do any more the like, be- 
cause of all thine abominations. 

10 Therefore the fathers i shall eat 
the sons in the midst of thee, and 
the sons shall eat their fathers ; and 
I will execute judgments in thee, 
and the whole remnant of thee will 
I ^ scatter into all the winds. 

1 1 Wherefore, as I live, saith the 
Lord God; Surely, because thou hast 
1 defiled my sanctuary with all thy 
'"detestable things, and with all thine 
abominations, therefore will I also di- 
minish thee; "neither shall mine eye 
spare, neither will I have any pity. 

12 *^oA third part of thee shall die 
with the pestilence, and with famine 
shall they be consumed in the midst 
of thee : and a third part shall fall 
by the sword round about thee ; and 
P I will scatter a third part into all 
tKe winds, and ql will draw out a 
sword after them. 

13 Thus shall mine anger ""be ac- 
complished, and I will « cause my 
fury to rest upon them, t and I will 
be comforted : " and they shall know 
that I the Lord have spoken it in 
my zeal, when I have accomplished 
my fury in them. 

14 Moreover, ^ I will make thee 
waste, and a reproach among the 
nations that are round about thee, 
in the sight of all that pass by. 

15 So it shall be ayreproach and a 
taunt, an instruction and an astonish- 
ment unto the nations that are round 
about thee, when I shall execute 
judgments in thee in anger, and in 
fury, and in ^ furious rebukes. I the 
Lord have spoken it. 

16 When I shall ''^send upon them 
the evil arrows of famine, which shall 
be for iAeir destruction, GTirfvi^hich I 
will send to destroy you : and I will 
increase the famine upon you, and 
will break your ^ staff of bread : 

17 So will I send upon you famine 
and c evil beasts, and they shall be- 
reave thee ; and ^ pestilence and 
blood shall pass through thee ; and 
I will bring the sword upon thee.

The judgment of Israel for idolati-y. 
CHAP. VI. 

I Thejndgment of Israel for their idolatry. 8 A 
remnant shall he blessed. 11 The faithful are 
exhorted to lament their calamities. 

ND the word of tlie Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, ^set thy face toward 
the ^ mountains of Israel, and pro- 
phesy against them, 

3 And say. Ye mountains of Israel, 
hear the word of the Lord God : 
Thus saith the Lord God to the 
mountains, and to the hills, to the 
rivers, and to the valleys ; Behold, I, 
even I, will bring a sword upon you, 
and c I will destroy your high places. 

4 And your altars shall be desolate, 
and your |1 images shall be broken : 
and dl will cast down your slain men 
before your idols. 

5 And I will flay the dead carcasses 
of the children of Israel before their 
idols ; and I will scatter your bones 
round about your altars. 

6 In all your dwelling-places the ci- 
ties shall be laid waste, and the high 
places shall be desolate; that your al- 
tars may be laid waste and made de- 
solate, and youridols maybe bi'oken 
and cease, and your images may be 
cut down, and your works may be 
abolished. 

7 And the slain shall fall in the 
midst of you, and e ye shall know 
that I am the Lord. 

8 TI^Yet will I leave a remnant, 
that ye may have some that shall es- 
cape the sword among the nations, 
when ye shall be scattered through 
the countries. 

9 And they that escape of you shall 
remember me among the nations 
whither they shall be carried cap- 
tives, because si am broken with 
their whorish heart, which hath de- 
parted from me, and "^with their 
eyes which go a whoring after their 
idols: and ' they shall loathe them- 
selves for the evils which they have 
committed in all their abominations. 

10 And they shall know that I am 
the Lord, and that I have not said 
in vain that I would do this evil unto 
them. 

1 1 1 Thus saith the Lord God ; 
Smite kwith thy hand, and stamp 
with thy foot, and say, Alas, for all 
the evil abominations of the house 
of Israel ! 'for they shall fall by the 

812 



The final desolation of Israel 

sword, by the famine, and by the 
pestilence. 

12 He that is far off shall die of the 
pestilence ; and he that is near shall 
fall by the sword ; and he that re- 
maineth and is besieged shall die by 
the famine: "thus will I accomphsh 
my fury upon them. 

13 Then " shall ye know that I am 
the Lord, when their slain men shall 
be among their idols round about 
their altars, "upon every high hill, 
P in all the tops of the mountains, 
and '1 under every green tree, and un- 
der every thick oak, the place where 
they did offer sweet savour to all 
their idols. 

14 So will I r stretch out my hand 
upon them, and make the land de- 
solate, yea, || more desolate than the 
wilderness toward ^Diblath, in all 
their habitations: and they shall know 
that I am the Lord.

1 The final desolalion of Israel. 16 The mournful 
repenlaitce iif them ihiil escape. 20 The enemies 
defile the xunelxiary becituse of the Israelites' 
abomina lions. 23 Under the type of a chain is 
shewed their miserable captitilij. 

MOREOVER the word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying, 

2 Also, thou sou of man, thus saith 
the Lord Goo unto the land of Is- 
rael ; " An end, the end is come upon 
the four corners of the land. 

3 Now is the end come upon thee, 
and I will send mine anger upon 
thee, and ^ will judge thee according 
to thy ways, and will f recompense 
upon thee all thine jtbominations. 

4 And <^ mine eye !<hall not spare 
thee, neither will! have pity : but I 
will recompense thy ways upon thee, 
and thine abominations shall be in 
the midst of thee : '^ and ye shall 
know that I am the Lord. 

5 Thus saith the Lord God ; An 
evil, an only evil, behold, is come. 

6 An end is come, the end is come : 
it twatcheth for thee ; behold, it is 
come. 

7 cThe morning is come upon thee, 
O thou that dwellest in the land : 
•'the time is come, the day of trouble 
is near, and not the || sounding again 
of the mountains. 

8 Now will I shortly ffpour out my 
fury upon thee, and accomplish mine 
anger upon thee : ''and I will judge

3 And he eput forth the form of a 
hand, and took me by a lock of my 
head ; and f the spirit lifted me up 
between the earth and the heaven, 
and g brought me in the visions of 
God to Jerusalem, to the door of the 
inner gate that looketh toward the 
north; ''where was the seat of the 
image of jealousy, which 'provoketh 
to jealousy. 

4 And, behold, the glory of the God 
of Israel was there, according to the 
vision that I '^saw in the plain. 

5 TI Then said he unto me, Son of 
man, lift up thine eyes now the way 
toward the north. So I lifted up 
mine eyes the way toward the north, 
and behold northward at the gate of 
the altar this image of jealousy in the 
entry. 

6 He said furthermore unto me. 
Son of man, seest thou what they 
do 1 even the great abominations that 
the house of Israel coramitteth here, 
that I should go far off from my 
sanctuary ? but turn thee yet again, 
and thou shalt see greater abomina- 
tions. 

7 ^ And he brought me to the door 
of the court ; and when I looked, be- 
hold a hole in the wall. 

8 Then said he unto me, Son of 
man, dig now in the wall : and when 
I had digged in the wall, behold a 
door. 

9 And he said unto me, Go in, and 
behold the wicked abominations that 
they do here. 

10 So I went in and saw ; and be- 
hold every form of creeping things, 
and abominable beasts, and all the 
idols of the house of Israel, portray- 
ed upon the wall round about. 

11 And there stood before them 
seventy men of the ancients of the 
house of Israel, and in the midst of 
them stood Jaazaniah the son of Sha- 
phan, with every man his censer in 
his hand ; and a thick cloud 6f in- 
cense went up. 

12 Then said he unto me. Son of 
man, hast thou seen what the an- 
cients of the house of Israel do in 
the dark, every man in the chambers 
of his imagery 1 for they say, 'The 
Lord seeth us not ; the Lord hath 
forsaken the earth. 

13 "H He said also unto me, Turn

thee yet again, and thou shalt see 
greater abominations tliat they do. 

14 Then he brought me to the door 
of the gate of the Lord's house which 
was toward the north; and behold, 
there sat women weeping for Tam- 
muz. 

15 IF Then said he unto me, Hast 
thou seen tJds, O son of man? turn 
thee yet again, and thou shalt see 
greater abominations than these. 

16 And he brought me into the in- 
ner court of the Lord's house, and 
behold, at the door of the temple of 
the Lord, ™ between the porch and 
the altar, ° were about five and twen- 
ty men, °with their backs toward 
the temple of the Lord, and their 
faces toward the east; and they 
worshipped P the sun toward the east. 

17 TIThen he said unto me, Hast 
thou seen this, O son of man I ||Is it' 
a light thing to the house of Judahi 
that they commit the abominations^ 
■which they commit here ? ior they 
have 1 filled the land with violence, 
and have returned to provoke me to 
anger : and lo, they put the branch 
to their nose. 

18 '•Therefore will I also deal in 
fury : mine «eye shall not spare, nei- 
ther will I have pity: and though 
they ' cry in mine ears with a loud 
voice, yet will I not hear them.

went forth, and slew in the city. 

8 TI And it came to pass while they 
were slaying them, and I was left, that

said, 'All Lord God ! wilt thou de-

God when he speaketh. 

6 And it came to pass, that when 
he had commanded the man clothed 
with linen, saying, Take fire from 
between the wheels, from between 
the cherubims ; then he went in, and 
stood beside the wheels. 

7 And one cherub f stretched forth 
his hand from between the cheru- 
bims unto the fire that ivas between 
ihe cherubims, and took thereof, and 
pvit it into the hands of him that was 
clottied with linen : who took it, and 
went Out. 

8 TI ' And there appeared in the che- 
rubims the form of a man's hand un- 
der their wings. 

9 ^And when I looked, behold the 
four wheels by the cherubims, one 
wheel by one cherub, and another 
wheel by another cherub: and the 
appearance of the wheels was as the 
colour of a 'beryl stone. 

1 And as for their appearances,they 
four had one likeness, as if a wheel 
had been in the midst of a wheel. 

11 ""When they went, they went 
upon their four sides; they turned 
not as they went, but to the place 
whither the head looked they follow- 
ed it ; they turned not as they went. 

12 Andtheirwhole f body, and their 
backs, and their hands, and their 
wings, and " the wheels, loere full of 
eyes round about, even the wheels 
that they four had. 

13 As for the wheels, || it was cried 
unto them in my hearing, O wheel ! 

14 ° And every one had four faces: 
the first face was the face of a cherub, 
and the second face wasthe face of a 
man, and the third the face of a lion, 
and the fourth the face of an eagle.

I saw by the river of Chebar. 

16 q And when the cherubims went, 
the wheels went by them : and when 
the cherubims lifted up their wings 
to mount up from the earth, the same 
wheels also turned not from beside 
them. 

17 "^ When they stood, these stood ; 
and when they were lifted up, these 
lifted up themselves also : for the

them. 

18 Then ^ the glory of the Lord 
'departed from off the threshold of 
the house, and stood over the che- 
rubims. 

19 And "the cherubims lifted up 
their wings, and mounted up from 
the earth in my sight : when they 
went out, the wheels also were be- 
side them, and every one stood at the 
door of the east gate of the Lord's 
house ; and the glory of the God of 
Israel was over them above. 

20 ■''This is the living creature that 
I saw under the God of Israel y by 
the river of Chebar; and I knew 
that they were the cherubims. 

21 == Every one had four faces a- 
piece, and every one four wings; 
a and the likeness of the hands of a 
man was under their wings. 

22 And ^the likeness of their faces 
was the same faces which I saw by 
the river of Chebar, their appear- 
ances and themselves : <= they went 
every one straight forward.

1 The presumption of the princes. 4 Their sin 
and judgment. 13 Ezekiel complaining, God 
sheii-eth him his purpose in saving a remnant, 
21 and punishing the wicked. 22 The glory of 
God leaveth the city. 24 Ezekiel is returned to 
the captivity. 

MOREOVER, ^the spirit lifted 
me up, and brought me unto 
bthe east gate of the Lord's house, 
which looketh eastward : and behold 
c at the door of the gate five' and 
twenty men; among whom I saw 
Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pe- 
latiah the son of Benaiah, princes of 
the people. 

2 Then said he unto me, Son of 
man, these are the men that devise 
mischief, and give wicked counsel in 
this city : 

3 Which say, || It is not ^ near; let

The. sudden death of Pelatiah. 

us build houses : ^this city is the cal- 
dron, and we be the flesh. 

4 If Therefore prophesy against 
them, prophesy, O son of man. 

5 And fthe Spirit of the Lord fell 
upon me, and said unto me. Speak ; 
Thus saith the Lord ; Thus have ye 
said, O house of Israel : for I know 
the things that come into your mind, 
every one of them. 

6 ?Ye have multiplied your slain 
in this cit}% and ye have filled the 
streets thereof with the slain. 

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God : ^ Your slain whom ye have laid 
in the midst of it, they are the flesh, 
and this city is the caldron: 'but I 
will bring you forth out of the midst 
of it. 

8 Ye have feared the sword ; and I 
will bring a sword upon you, saith 
the Lord God. 

9 And I will bring you out of the 
midst thereof, and deliver you into 
the hands of strangers, and ''will ex- 
ecute judgments among you. 

10 'Ye shall fall by the sword ; I 
will judge you in '"the border of Is- 
rael ; n and ye shall know that I am 
the Lord. 

11 °This city shall not be your cal- 
dron, neither shall ye be the flesh in 
the midst thereof; but I will judge 
you in the border of Israel : 

12 And Pye shall know that I am 
the Lord : || for ye have not walked 
in my statutes, neither executed my 
judgments, but ihave done after the 
manners of the heathen that are round 
about you. 

13 KAnd it came to pass, when I 
prophesied, that ■• Pelatiah the son of 
Benaiah died. Then "fell I down up- 
on my face, and cried with a loud 
voice, and said, Ah Lord God ! wilt 
thou make a full end of the remnant 
of Israel ? 

14 Again the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

15 Son of man, thy brethren, even 
thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, 
and all the house of Israel wholly, 
are they unto whom the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem have said. Get you far 
from the Lord : unto us is this land 
given in possession.

Lord God ; Although I have cast

although I have scattered them a- 
mong the countries, tyet >-ill I be to 
them as a little sanctuarv^ in I'^e coun- 
tries where they shall come. 

17 Therefore say. Thus saith the 
Lord God ; "I will even gather y^u 
from the people, and assemble you 
out of the countries where ye have 
been scattered, and I will give you 
the land of Israel, 

18 And they shall come thither, and 
■^they shall take away all the detest- 
able things thereof and all the abo- 
minations thereof from thence. 

19 And y I will give them one heart, 
and I will put ^a new spirit within 
you ; and I will take "the stony heart 
out of their flesh, and will give them 
a heart of flesh : 

20 '' That they may walk in my sta- 
tutes, and keep mine ordinances, and 
do them: "^and they shall be my peo- 
ple, and I will be their God. 

21 But as for them whose heart 
walketh after the heart of their de- 
testable things and their abomina- 
tions, <^I will recompense their way 
upon their own heads, saith the Lord 
God. 

22 "tl Then did the chcrubims "hft 
up their wings, and the wheeb beside 
them ; and the glory of the God of 
Israel icas over them above. 

23 And '"the glorj'of the Lord went 
up from the midst of the city, and 
stood fe'upon the mountain ''which is 
on the east side of the city. 

24 II Afterwards 'the spirit took me 
up, and brought me in a vision by the 
Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them 
of the captivity. So the vision that 
I had seen went up from me. 

25 Then I spake unto them of the 
captivity all the things that the Lord 
had shewed me.

3 Thereforp, thou son of man, pre-

remove "^y day in their sight ; and 
thou fi'ialt remove from thy place to 
anot'ier place in their sight ; it may 
be they will consider, though they he

stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for 
removing : and thou shalt go forth 
at even in their sight, f as they that 
go forth into captivity. 

5 f Dig thou through the vs^all in

6 In their sight shalt thou bear it 
upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth 
in the twilight : thou shalt cover thy 
face, that thou see not the ground : 
''for I have set thee /or a sign unto 
the house of Israel. 

7 And I did so as I was commanded : 
I brought forth my stuff by day, as 
stuff for captivity, and in the even I 
t digged through the wall with my 
hand ; I brought it forth in the twi- 
light, and I bare it upon my shoulder 
in their sight. 

8 "II And in the morning came the 
word of the Lord unto me, saying, 

9 Son of man, hath not the house

the Lord God; This & burden con-

they may declare all their abomina- 
tions among the heathen whitherthey

1 7 H Moreover the word of the Lord 
came to me, saying, 

18 Son of man, "^eat thy bread with 
quaking, and drink thy water with 
trembling and with carefulness ; 

19 And say unto the people of the 
land, Thus saith the Lord God of the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the 
land of Israel ; They shall eat their 
bread with carefulness, and drink 
their water with astonishment, that 
her land may ^be desolate from f all 
that is therein, ^because of the vio- 
lence of all them that dwell therein. 

20 And the cities that are inhabited 
shall be laid waste, and the land shall 
be desolate ; and ye shall know that 
I am the Lord. 

21 ^And the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

22 Son of man, what is that proverb 
that ye have in the land of Israel, say- 
ing, "The days are prolonged, and 
every vision faileth? 

23 Tell them therefore. Thus saith 
the Lord God ; I will make this pro- 
verb to cease, and they shall no more 
use it as a proverb in Israel ; but say 
unto them, ^The days are at hand, 
and the effect of every vision. 

24 For y there shall be no more any 
zvain vision nor flattering divination 
within the house of Israel. 

25 For I am the Lord : I will speak, 
and a the word that I shall speak shall 
come to pass ; it shall be no more 
prolonged : for in your days, O re- 
bellious house, will I say the. word, 
and will perform it, saith the Lord 
God. 

26 1 Again the word of the Lord 
came to me, saying, 

27 b Son of man, behold, they o/the 
house of Israel say. The vision that 
he seeth is <=for many days to come, 
and he prophesieth of the times that

6 « They have seen vanity and Ijnng

that they would confirm the word. 

7 Have ye not seen a vain vision,

tear them from your arms, and will 
let the souls go, even the souls that

the heart of the righteous sad, whom

ened the hands of the wicked, that 
he should not return from his wick-

THEN a came certain of the elders 
of Israel unto me, and sat be- 
fore me. 

2 And the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

3 Son of man, these men have set 
up their idols in their heart, and put 
^the stumbling-block of their iniqui- 
ty before their face : <^ should I be 
inquired of at all by them ? 

4 Therefore speak unto them, and 
say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 
God ; Every man of the house of Is- 
rael that setteth up his idols in his 
heart, and putteth the stumbling- 
block of his iniquity before his face, 
and Cometh to the prophet ; I the 
Lord will answer him that cometh 
according to the multitude of his 
idols ; 

5 That I may take the house of Is- 
rael in their own heart, because they 
are all estranged from me through 
their idols, 

6 T[ Therefore say unto the house 
of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God ; 
Repent, and turn || yourselves from 
your idols ; and turn away your faces 
from all your abominations. 

7 For every one of the house of Is- 
rael, or of the stranger that sojourn- 
eth in Israel, which separateth him- 
self from me, and setteth up his idols 
in his heart, and putteth the stum- 
bling-block of his iniquity before his 
face, and cometh to a prophet to in- 
quire of him concerning me ; I the 
Lord will answer him by myself :

1 By the unfitness of the vine branch for any work 
6 is shewed the rejection ofjenualem. 

AND the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man. What is the vine-tree 
more than any tree, or than a branch 
which is among the trees of the forest ? 

3 Shall wood be taken thereof to 
do any work ? or will men take a pin 
of it to hang any vessel thereon ? 

4 Behold, "it is cast into the fire for 
fuel ; the fire devoureth both the ends 
of it, and the midst of it is burned 
fls it meet for any work 1 

5 Behold, when it was whole, it was 
fmeet for no work: how much less 
shall it be meet yet for any work, 
when the fire hath devoured it, and 
it is burned? 

6 H Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; As the vine-tree among the 
trees of the forest, which I have given 
to the fire for fuel, so will I give the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem. 

7 And ''I will set my face against 
them ; ^they shall go out from one fire, 
and another fire shall devour them ; 
"*and ye shall know that I am the 
Lord, when I set my face against 
them.

1 Under the simiUtuOe of a wretched infant is 
shewed the natural state of Jerusalem. 6 God's 
extraordinary lore towards her. 15 Her mon- 
strous whoredom. 35 Her grievous judgment. 
44 Her sin, matching her mother, and exceeding 
Iter sisters, Sodom and Samaria, calleth for 
judgment.s. GO Mercy is promised her in the end. 

AGAIN the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, ^^ cause Jerusalem to 
know her abominations, 

3 And say. Thus saith the Lord 
God unto Jerusalem; Thy f birth 
''and thy nativity is of the land of 
Canaan; "^thy father u.'as an Amo- 
rite, and thy mother a Hittite. 

4 And as for thy nativity, "^in the 
day thou wast born thy navel was not 
cut, neither wast thou washed in wa- 
ter II to supple thee ; thou wast not 
salted at all, nor swaddled at all. 

5 None eye pitied thee, to do any 
of these unto thee, to have compas- 
sion upon thee ; but thou wast cast 
out in the open field, to the loathing 
of thy person, in the day that thou 
wast born. 

6 "H And when I passed by thee, and 
saw thee || polluted in thine own blood, 
I said unto thee when thou wast in 
thy blood, Live ; yea, I said unto thee 
when thou wast in thy blood. Live. 

7 «I have f caused thee to multiply 
as the bud of the field, and thou hast 
increased and waxen great, and thou 
art come to f excellent ornaments : 
thy breasts are fashioned, and thy 
hair is grown, whereas thou wast 
naked and bare. 

8 Now when I passed by thee, and 
looked upon thee, behold, thy time 
was the time of love ; '"and I spread 
my skirt over thee, and covered thy 
nakedness : yea, I sware unto thee, 
and entered into a covenant with 
thee, saith the Lord God, and ethou 
becamest mine. 

9 Then washed I thee with water ; 
yea, I thoroughly washed away thy 
t blood from thee, and I anointed 
thee with oil. 

10 I clothed thee also with broider- 
ed work, and shod thee with badgers' 
skin, and I girded thee about with 
fine linen, and I covered thee with 
silk. 

Ill decked thee also with orna- 
821 



The whoredoms 

ments, and I ^put bracelets upon thy 
hands, iand a chain on thy neck. 

12 And I put a jewel on thy f fore- 
head, and ear-rings in thine ears, and 
a beautiful crown upon thy head. 

13 Thus wast thou decked with gold 
and silver; and thy raiment was of 
line linen, and silk, and broidered 
work; J^thou didst eat fine flour, and 
honey, and oil; and thou wast ex- 
ceeding 1 beautiful, and thou didst 
prosper into a kingdom. 

14 And ™thy renown went forth 
among the heathen for thy beauty : 
for it was perfect through my come- 
liness, which I had put upon thee, 
saith the Lord God. 

15 ^°But thou didst trust in thine 
own beauty, f>and playedst the harlot 
because of thy renown, and pouredst 
out thy fornications on every one 
that passed by; his it was. 

16 PAnd of thy garments thou didst 
take, and deckedst thy high places 
with divers colours, and playedst the 
harlot thereupon: the like things shall 
not come, neither shall it be so. 

17 Thou hast also taken thy fair 
jewels of my gold and of my silver, 
which I had given thee, and madest 
to thyself images f of men, and didst 
commit whoredom with them. 

18 And tookest thy broidered gar- 
ments, and coveredst them : and thou 
hast set mine oil and mine incense 
before them. 

19 iMymeatalsowhichlgavethee, 
fine flour, and oil, and honey, where- 
with I fed thee, thou hast even set it 
before them for f a sweet savour : and 
thus it was, saith the Lord God. 

20 r Moreover, thou hast taken thy 
sons and thy daughters, whom thou 
hast borne unto me, and these hast 
thou sacrificed unto them f to be de- 
voured. Is this of thy whoredoms a 
small matter, 

21 That thou hast slain my children, 
and delivered them to cause them to 
pass through the fire for them? 

22 And in all thine abominations 
and thy whoredoms thou hast not re- 
membered the days of thy ^ youth, 
*when thou wast naked and bare, 
and wast polluted in thy blood. 

23 And it came to pass, after all thy 
wickedness, (wo, wo unto thee ! saith 
the Lord God;)

of Jerusalem, 

24 77i«i"thou hast also built unto 
thee an || eminent place, and ^hast 
made thee a high place in every 
street. 

25 Thou hasi built thy high place 
yat eveiy head of the way, and hast 
made thy beauty to be abhorred, and 
hast opened thy feet to every one 
that passed by, and multiplied thy 
whoredoms. 

26 Thou hast also committed forni- 
cation Avith 2 the Egyptians thy neigh- 
bours, great of flesh ; and hast in- 
creased thy whoredoms, to provoke 
me to anger. 

27 Behold,therefore I have stretch- 
ed out my hand over thee, and have 
diminished thine ordinary /ooc?, and 
delivered thee unto the will of them 
that hate thee, ^the || daughters of 
the Philistines, which are ashamed 
of thy lewd way, 

28 ^Thou hast played the whore 
also with the Assyrians, because thou 
wast unsatiable ; yea, thou hast play- 
ed the harlot with them, and yet 
couldest not be satisfied. 

29 Thou hast, moreover, multiplied 
thy fornication in the land of Canaan 
^unto Chaldea ; and yet thou wast 
not satisfied herewith. 

30 How weak is thy heart, saith 
the Lord God, seeing thou doest alt 
these things, the work of an impe- 
rious, whorish woman ; 

31 II In that "^thou buildest thine 
eminent place in the head of every 
way, and makest thy high place in 
every street ; and hast not been as a 
harlot, in that thou scornest hire ; 

32 But as a wife that committeth 
adultery, which taketh strangers in- 
stead of her husband \ 

33 They give gifts to all whores ; 
but ethou givest thy gifts to all thy 
lovers, and f hirest them, that they 
may come unto thee on every side 
for thy whoredom. 

34 And the contrary is in thee from 
other women in thy whoredoms, 
whereas none followeth thee to com- 
mit whoredoms: and in that thou 
givest a reward, and no reward is 
given unto thee ; therefore thou art 
contrary. 

35 1 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the 
word of the Lord : 

36 Thus saith the Lord God; Be- 

822 



God threateneth her 

cause thy filthmess was poured out, 
andthynakednessdiscoveredthrough 
thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and 
with all the idols of thy abominations, 
and by ^the blood of thy children, 
which thou didst give unto them ; 

SI Behold, therefore, &I will gather 
all thy lovers, with whom thou hast 
taken pleasure, and all them that thou 
hast loved, with all them that thou 
hast hated ; I will even gather them 
round about against thee, and will 
discover thy nakedness unto them, 
that they may see all thy nakedness. 

38 And I will judge thee, f as h wo- 
men that break wedlock and 'shedj 
blood are judged; and I will give! 
thee blood in i'ury and jealousy. | 

39 And I will also give thee into J 
their hand, and they shall throw down i 
''thine eminent place, and shall breaki 
down thy high places: 'they shall 
strip tliee also of thy clothes, and 
shall take f thy fair jewels, and leave 
thee naked and bare. 

40 ™ They shall also bring up a com- 
pany against thee, "^ and they shall 
stone thee with stones, and thrust 
thee through with their swords. 

41 And they shall obum thy houses 
with fire, and P execute judgments 
upon thee in the sight of many wo- 
men: and I will cause thee to q cease 
from playing the harlot, and thou also 
shalt give no hire any more. 

42 So ■'will I make my fury toward 
thee to rest, and my jealousy shall de- 
part from thee, and I will be quiet, 
and will be no more angry. 

43 Because ^thou hast not remem- 
bered the days of thy youth, but hast 
fretted me in all these things ; be- 
hold, therefore, 'I also will recom- 
pense thy way upon thy head, saith 
the Lord God: and thou shalt not 
commit this lewdness above all thine 
abominations. 

44 11 Behold, every one that useth 
proverbs shall use^/i/s proverb against 
thee, saying, As is the mother, so is 
her daughter. 

45 Thou art thy mother's daugh- 
ter, that loatheth her husband and her 
children; and thou art the sister of 
thy sisters, which loathed their hus- 
bands and their children : "your mo- 
ther was a Hittite, and your father 
an Amorite.

48 As I live, saith the Lord God,

nor her daughters, as thou hast done, 
thou and thy daughters. 

49 Behold, this was the iniquity of 
thy sister Sodom, pride, 'i fulness of 
bread, and abundance of idleness was 
in her and in her daughters, neither 
did she strengthen the hand of the 
poor and needy. 

50 And they were haughty^ and 
''committed abomination before me : 
therefore c I took them away as I saw 
good. 

51 Neither hath Samaria committed 
half of thy sins : but thou hast mul- 
tiplied thine abominations more than 
they, and <^hast justified thy^ sisters in 
all thine abominations which thou 
hast done. 

52 Thou also, which hast judged 
thy sisters, bear thine own shame for 
thy sins that thou hast committed 
more abominable than they: they are 
more righteous than thou : y^ea, be 
thou confounded also, and bear thy 
shame, in that thou hast justified thy 
sisters. 

53 « When I shall bring again their 
captivity, ''the captivity of Sodom 
and her daughters, and the captivity 
of Samaria and her daughters, then 
will I bring again the captivity of 
thy captives in the midst of them : 

54 That thou mayest bear thine own 
shame, and mayest be confounded in 
all that thou hast done, in that thou 
art g a comfort unto them. 

55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her 
daughters, shall return to their former 
estate,and Samaria and her daughters 
shall return to their former estate, 
then thou and thy daughters shall 
return to your former estate.

became a vine, and brought forth 
branches, and shot forth sprigs. 

7 There was also anothergreat eagle 
with great wings and many feathers: 
and behold, fthis vine did bend her 
roots toward him, and shot forth her 
branches toward him, that he might 
water it by the furrows of her plan- 
tation. 

8 It was planted in a good f soil by 
great waters, that it might bring forth 
branches, and that it might bear fruit, 
that it might be a goodly vine. 

9 Say thou. Thus saith the Lord 
God ; Shall it prosper? & shall he not 
pull up the roots thereof, and cut off 
the fruit thereof, that it wither ? it 
shall wither in all the leaves of her 
spring, even without great power or 
many people to pluck it up by the 
roots thereof. 

10 Yea, behold, 6em^ planted, shall 
it prosper? *> shall it not utterly wi- 
ther, when the east wind toucheth it ? 
it shall wither in the furrows where 
it grew. 

11*^ Moreover the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

12 Saynowto 'the rebellious house. 
Know ye not what these things mean ? 
Tell them, Behold, ^the king of Ba- 
bylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath 
taken the king thereof, and the prin- 
ces thereof, and led them with him 
to Babylon; 

13 'Ajid hath taken of the king's 
seed, and made a covenant with him, 
™and hath j- taken an oath of him : 
he hath also taken the mighty of the 
land: 

14 That the kingdom might be 
"base, that it might not lift itself up, 
f but that by keeping of his covenant 
it might stand. 

15 But "he rebelled against him in 
sending his ambassadors into Egypt, 
p that they might give him horses and 
much people. <i Shall he prosper ? 
shall he escape that doeth siich 
things? or, shall he break the cove- 
nant, and be delivered ? 

16 As I live, saith the Lord God, 
surely J" in the place where the king 
dwelleth that made him king, whose 
oath he despised, and whose covenant 
he brake, even with him in the midst 
of Babylon he shall die.

make for him in the war, ' by cast- 
ing up mounts, and building forts, to 
cut oif many persons : 

18 Seeing he despised the oath by 
breaking the covenant, when lo, he 
had "given his hand, and hath done 
all these things, he shall not escape. 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God ; As I live, surelymineoath that 
he hath despised, and my covenant 
that he hath broken, even it will I 
recompense upon his own head. 

20 And I will ^ spread my net upon 
him, and he shall be taken in my 
snare, and I will bring him to Baby- 
lon, and ywill plead with him there 
for his trespass that he hath tres- 
passed against me. 

21 And zall his fugitives with all 
his bands shall fall by the sword, and 
they that remain shall be scattered 
toward all winds: and ye shall know 
that I the Lord have spoken it. 

22 IJThus saith the Lord God; I 
will also take of the highest ^ branch 
of the high cedar, and will set it; I 
will crop off from the top of his young 
twigs ^ a tender one, and will <= plant it 
upon a high mountain and eminent: 

23 '' In the mountain of the height 
of Israel will I plant it : and it shall 
bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, 
and be a goodly cedar : and <^ under 
it shall dwell all fowl of every wing ; 
in the shadow of the branches there- 
of shall they dwell. 

24 And all the trees of the field shall 
know that I the Loud Hiave brought 
down the high tree, have exalted the 
low tree, have dried up the green 
tree, and have made the dry tree to 
flourish: ?I the Lord have spoken

4 Behold, all souls are mine ; as the 
soul of the father, so also the soul of 
the son is mine : "^the soul that sin- 
neth, it shall die. 

5 "(I But if a man be just, and do 
f that which is lawful and right, 

6 '^And hath not eaten upon the 
mountains, neither hath lifted up his 
eyes to the idols of the house of Is- 
rael, neither hath ^ defiled his neigh- 
bour's wife, neither hath come near 
to ^a menstruous woman, 

7 And hath not ^ oppressed any, 
hut hath restored to the debtor his 
gpledge, hath spoiled none by vio- 
lence, hath h given his bread to the 
hungiy, and hath covered the naked 
with a garment ; 

8 He that hath not given forth upon 
' usury, neither hath taken any in- 
crease, ^/io^ hath withdrawn his hand 
from iniquity, '^hath executed true 
judgment between man and man, 

9 Hath walked in my statutes, and 
hath kept my judgments, to deal tru- 
ly; he is just, he shall surely 'live, 
saith the Lord God. 

10 Tflf he beget a son <^an'5 a II rob- 
ber, "> a shedder of blood, and || that 
doeth the like to any one of these 
things,

bour's wife,

needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath 
not restored the pledge, and hath 
lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath

13 Hath given forth upon usury, 
and hath taken increase : shall he then 
live? he shall not live : he hath done 
all these abominations ; he shall surely 
die ; o his f blood shall be upon him. 

14 TI Now lo, if he beget a son, 
that seeth all his father's sins which 
he hath done, and considereth, and 
doeth not such like, 

15 PThat hath not eaten upon the 
mountains, neither hath lifted up his

from the poor, that hath not received 
usury nor increase, hath executed my 
judgments, hath walked in my sta- 
tutes ; he shall not die for the iniquity 
of his father, he shall surely live. 

18 As for his father, because he 
cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother 
by violence, and did that which is 
not good among his people, lo, even 
*3 he shall die in his iniquity. 

19 Ti Yet say ye, Why 1 ^ doth not 
the son bear the iniquity of the fa- 
ther? When the son hath done that 
which is lawful and right, and hath 
kept all my statutes, and hath done 
them, he shall surely live. 

20 5 The soul that sinneth, it shall 
die. tThe son shall not bear the ini- 
quity of the father, neither shall the 
father bear the iniquity of the son: 
"the righteousness of the righteous 
shall be upon him, ^^and the wicked- 
ness of the wicked shall be upon him.

surely live, he shall not die.

hath committed, they shall not be 
mentioned unto him : in his righte- 
ousness that he hath done he shall 
live.

the wicked should die? saith the 
Lord God: and not that he should 
return from his ways, and live ?

eth away from his righteousness, and 
committeth iniquity, and doeth ac- 
cording to all the abominations that 
the wicked man doeth, shall he live? 
^ All his righteousness that he hath 
done shall not be mentioned: in his 
trespass that he hath trespassed, and 
in his sin that he hath sinned, in

and for Jerusalem, wnder the parable of a 
wasted vine. 

MOREOVER, ^ take thou up a 
lamentation for the princes of 
Israel, 

2 And say, What is thy mother? A 
lioness : she lay down among lions, 
she nourished her whelps among 
young lions. 

3 And she brought up one of her 
whelps: ^it became a young lion, 
and it learned to catch the prey ; 
it devoured men. 

4 The nations also heard of him ; 
he was taken in their pit, and they 
brought him with chains unto the 
land of (= Egypt. 

5 Now when she saw that she had 
waited, and her hope was lost, then 
she took d another of her whelps, 
and made him a young lion. 

6 ^And he went up and down 
among the lions, *■ he became a young 
lion, and learned to catch the prey, 
and devoured men.

7 And he knew || their desolate pa- 
laces, and he laid waste their cities; 
and the Itmd was desolate, and the 
fulness thereof, by the noise of his 
roaring. 

8 eThen the nations set against 
him on every side from the provinces, 
and spread their net over him: ^^he 
was taken in their pit. 

9 'And they put him in ward || in 
chains, and brought him to the king 
of Babylon: they brought him into 
holds, that his voice should no more 
be heard upon ^t\\e mountains of Is- 
rael. 

10 H Thy mother is Hike a vine 
II in thy blood, planted by the waters: 
she was " fruitful and full of branches 
by reason of many waters. 

1 1 And she had strong rods for the 
sceptres of them that bare rule, and 
her "stature was exalted among the 
thick branches, and she appeared in 
her height with the multitude of her 
branches. 

12 But she was plucked up in furj', 
she was cast down to the ground, and 
the °east wind dried up her fruit : her 
strong rods were broken and wither- 
ed; the fire consumed them. 

13 And now she is planted in the 
wilderness,in a dryand thirstjground. 

14 P And fire is gone out of a rod of 
her branches, which hath devoured 
her fruit, so that she hath no strong 
rod to be a sceptre to rule. iThis is 
a lamentation, and shall be for a la- 
mentation.

man? wilt thou judge them? <* cause 
them to know the abominations of 
their fathers : 

5 *lf And say unto them, Thus saith 
the Lord God ; In the day when ®I 
chose Israel, and || lifted up my hand 
unto the seed of the house of Jacob, 
and made myself ^ known unto them 
in the land of Egypt, when I lifted 
up my hand unto them, saying, el 
am the Lord jour God ; 

6 In the day that I hfted up my 
hand unto them, hto bring them forth 
of the land of Egj-pt into a land that 
I had espied for them, flowing with 
milk and honey, 'which is the gloiy 
of all lands: 

7 Then said I unto them, ^Cast ye 
away every man 'the abominations 
of his eyes, and defile not yourselves 
with '"the idols of Egypt: I am the 
Lord your God. 

8 But they rebelled against me, 
and would not hearken unto me : 
they did not every man cast away 
the abominations of their eyes, nei- 
ther did they forsake the idols of 
Egypt: then I said, I will "pour out 
my fury upon them, to accomplish 
my anger against them in the midst 
of the land of Egypt. 

9 °But I wrought for my name's 
sake, that it should not bt polluted 
before the heathen,amongwhom they 
were, in whose sight 1 made myself 
known unto them, in bringing them 
forth out of the land of Egj^pt. 

10 H Wherefore, I Pcaused them to 
go forth out of the land of Egypt, 
and brought them into the wilder- 
ness. 

11 qAnd I gave them my statutes, 
and t shewed them my judgments, 
■■ which if a man do, he shall even 
live in them. 

12 Moreover, also I gave them my 
s sabbaths, to be a sign between me 
and them, that they might know that 
I am the Lord that sanctify them. 

13 But the house of Israel 'rebelled 
against me in the wilderness : they 
walked not in my statutes, and they 
" despised my judgments, which if a. 
man do, he shall even live in them : 
and my sabbaths they greatly ^pol- 
luted : then I said, I would pour out 
my fur)' upon them in the > wilder- 
ness, to consume them.

The rebellions of Israel. 

14 2 But I wrought for my name's 
sake, that it should not be polluted 
before the heathen, in whose sight 
I brought them out. 

15 Yet also ^ I lifted up my hand 
unto them in the wilderness, that I 
would not bring them into the land 
which I had given them, flowing with 
milk and honey, ''which is the glory 
of all lands ; 

16 ^Because they despised myjudg- 
ments, and walked not in my statutes, 
but polluted my sabbaths: for <J their 
heart went after their idols. 

17 ^Nevertheless mine eye spared 
them from destroying them, neither 
did I make an end of them in the 
wilderness. 

18 But I said unto their children in 
the wilderness. Walk ye not in the 
statutes of your fathers, neither ob- 
serve their judgments, nor defile 
yourselves with their idols : 

191 am the Lord your God ; ^ walk 
in my statutes, and keep my judg- 
ments, and do them; 

20 e And hallow my sabbaths ; and 
they shall be a sign between me and 
you, that ye may know that I am the 
Lord your God. 

21 Notwithstanding, '' the children 
rebelled against me : they walked not 
in my statutes, neither kept my judg- 
ments to do them, ' which if a man 
do, he shall even live in them : they 
polluted my sabbaths: then I said, '^I 
would pour out my fury upon them, 
to accomplish my anger against them 
in the wilderness. 

22 'Nevertheless, I withdrew my 
hand, and "^ wrought for my name's 
sake, that it should not be polluted 
in the sight of the heathen, in whose 
sight I brought them forth. 

23 I lifted up my hand unto them 
also in the wilderness, that "I would 
scatter them among the heathen, and 
disperse them through the countries ; 

24 ° Because they had not executed 
my judgments, but had despised my 
statutes, and had polluted my sab- 
baths, and P their eyes were after 
their fathers' idols. 

25 Wherefore q I gave them also 
statutes that were not good, and 
judgments whereby they should not 
live ; 

26 And I polluted them in theirown

gifts, in that they caused to pass 
•■ through the fire all that openeth the 
womb, that 1 might make them de- 
solate, to the end that they ^ rnight 
know that I am the Lord. 

27 "^Therefore, son of man, speak 
unto the house of Israel, and say un- 
to them, Thus saith the Lord God, 
Yet in this your fathers have 'blas- 
phemed me, in that they have f com- 
mitted a trespass against me. 

28 For when I had brought them 
into the land, /or the which I lifted 
up my hand to give it to them, then 
" they saw every high hill, and all the 
thick trees, and they offered there 
their sacrifices, and there they pre- 
sented the provocation of their offer- 
ing: there also they made their 
^ sweet savour, and poured out their 
drink-offerings. 

29 Then |1 1 said unto them. What 
is the high place whereunto ye go ? 
and the name thereof is called Ba- 
mah unto this day. 

30 Wherefore, say unto the house 
of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God ; 
Are ye polluted after the manner of 
your fathers? and commit ye whore- 
dom after their abominations ? 

31 For when ye offer yyour gifts, 
when ye make your sons to pass 
through the fire, ye pollute your- 
selves with all your idols, even unto 
this day: and ^ shall I be inquired 
of by you, O house of Israel? As I 
live, saith the Lord God, I will not 
be inquired of by you. 

32 And that ^which cometh into 
your mind shall not be at all, that ye 
say. We will be as the heathen, as 
the families of the countries, to serve 
wood and stone. 

33 ^As I live, saith the Lord God, 
surely with a mighty hand, and 
''with a stretched-out arm, and with 
fury poured out, will Iruleoveryou : 

34 And I will bring you out from 
the people, and will gather you oiit 
of the countries wherein ye are scat- 
tered, with a mighty hand, and with 
a stretched-out arm, and with fury 
poured out. 

35 And I will bring you into the 
wilderness of the people, and there 
•^will I plead with you face to face. 

36 ^ Like as I pleaded with your 
fathers in the wilderness of the land

of Egypt, so will I plead with you, 
saith the Lord God. 

37 And I will cause you to ^pass 
under the rod, and I will bring you 
into il the bond of the covenant : 

38 And fl will purge out from a- 
mong you the rebels, and them that 
transgress against me : I will bring 
them forth out of the country where 
they sojourn, and &they shall not en- 
ter into the land of Israel : ^and ye 
shall know that I am the Lord. 

39 As for you, O house of Israel, 
thus saith the Lord God ; ' Go ye, 
serve ye every one his idols, and 
hereafter also, if ye will not hearken 
unto me : •'but pollute ye my holy 
name no more with your gifts, and 
with your idols. 

40 For 'in my holy mountain, in 
the mountain of the height of Israel, 
saith the Lord God, there shall all 
the house of Israel, all of them in the 
land, serve me : tliere ■" will I accept 
them, and there will I require your 
offerings, and the || first-fruits of your 
oblations, with all your holy things 

41 I will accept you with your 
t "sweet savour, when I bring you 
out from the people, and gatlier you 
out of the countries wherein ye have 
been scattered ; and I will be sancti- 
fied in you before the heathen. 

42 "And ye shall know that I am 
the Lord, Pwhen I shall bring you 
into the land of Israel, into the coun- 
try for the which I lifted up my 
hand to give it to your fathers. 

43 And q there shall ye remember 
your ways, and all your doings 
wherein ye have been defiled : and 
■■ye shall loathe yourselves in your 
own sight for all your evils that ye 
have committed. 

44 =And ye shall know that I am 
the Lord, when I have wrought with 
you 'for my name's sake, not accord- 
ing to your wicked ways, nor accord- 
ing to your corrupt doings, O ye 
house of Israel, saith the Lord God. 

45 11 Moreover the word of- the 
Lord came unto me, saying, 

46 "Son of man, set thy face to- 
ward the south, and drop thy word 
toward the south, and prophesy a- 
gainst the forest of the south field ; 

47 And say to the forest of the 
south, Hear the word of the Lord :

thee, and every dry tree : the flam-

CHAP. XXL 

1 Ezekiel prophesielh against Jerusalem with a 
sign of sighing. 8 Tlie sharp and bright sword, 
18 against Jerusalem, 25 against the kingdom, 
28 and against the Ammotnies. 

AND the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

2 '^Son of man, set thy face toward 
Jerusalem, and ''drop thy loord to- 
ward the holy places, and prophesy 
against the land of Israel, 

3 And say to the land of Israel, 
Thus saith the Lord ; Behold, I am 
against thee, and will draw forth my 
sword out of his sheath, and will cut 
off from thee =the righteous and the 
wicked. 

4 Seeing then that I will cut off 
from thee the righteous and the 
wicked, therefore shall my sword go 
forth out of his sheath against all 
flesh ''from the south to the north : 

5 That all flesh may know that I 
the liORD have drawn forth my sword 
out of his sheath: it « shall not re- 
turn any more. 

6 'Sigh therefore, thou son of man, 
with the breaking of thy loins ; and 
with bitterness sigh before their eyes. 

7 And it shall be, when they say 
unto thee. Wherefore sighest thou ? 
that thou shalt answer. For the tid- 
ings, because it cometh : and every 
heart shall melt, and gall hands shall 
be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, 
and all knees f shall be weak as wa 
ter : behold, it cometh, and shall be 
brought to pass, saith the Lord God, 

8 11 Again the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

9 Son of man, prophesy, and say 
Thus saith the Lord; Say, ^K 
sword, a sword is sharpened, and 
al.<o furbished : 

10 It is sharpened to make a sore 
si ughter, it is furbished that it may

glitter ; should we then make mirth ? 
11 it contemneth the rod of my son, as 
every tree. 

1 1 And he hath given it to be fur- 
bished, that it may be handled : this 
sword is sharpened, and it is fur- 
bished, to give it into the hand of 
Uhe slayer. 

12 Cry and howl, son of man : for 
it shall be upon my people, it shall 
be upon all the princes of Israel : 
IJ terrors by reason of the sword shall 
be upon my people : ^ smite therefore 
upon thy thigh. 

13 II Because it is ^a trial, and what 
if the sword contemn even the rod ? 
•"it shall be no more, saith the Lord 
God. 

14 Thou, therefore, son of man, pro- 
phesy, and "smite thine f hands to- 
gether, and let the sword be doubled 
the third time, the sword of the slain : 
it is the sword of the great men that 
are slain, which entereth into their 
<'privy chambers. 

15 I have set the || point of the 
sword against alhheir gates, that their 
heart may faint, and their ruins be 
multiphed : ah! P?^ is made bright, 
it is II wrapped up for the slaughter, 

16 qGo thee one way or other, 
either on the right hand, f or on the 
left, whithersoever thy face is set. 

17 I will also ''smite my hands to 
gether, and »! will cause my fury to 
rest : I the Lord have said it. 

18 ■[[ The word of the Lord came 
unto me again, saying, 

19 Also, thou son of man, appoint 
thee two ways, that the sword of the 
king of Babylon may come : both 
twain shall come forth out of one 
land : and choose thou a place, 
choose it at the head of the way to 
the city. 

20 Appoint a way, that the sword 
may come to 'Rabbath of the Am- 
monites, and to Judah in Jerusalem 
the defenced. 

21 For the king of Babylon stood 
at the f parting of the way, at the 
head of the two ways, to use divina- 
tion ; he made his \\ arrows bright, 
he consulted with f images, he look- 
ed in the liver. 

22 At his right hand was the di- 
vination for Jerusalem, to appoint 
il t captains, to open the mouth in

MOREOVER the word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying, 

2 Now, thou son of man, ^^ilt 
thou II judge, wilt thou judge ^the 
f bloody city ? yea, thou shalt f shew 
her all her abominations. 

3 Then say thou, Thus saith the 
Lord God ; The city sheddeth blood 
in the midst of it, that her time may 
come, and maketh idols against her- 
self to defile herself 

4 Thou art become guiltj' in thy 
blood that thou hast <= shed : and hast 
defiled thyself in thine idols which 
thou hastmade; and thou hast caused 
thy days to draw near, and art come 
even unto thy years: <^ therefore have 
I made thee a reproach unto the hea- 
then, and a mocking to all countries. 

5 Those that he near, and those 
that be far from thee, shall mock 
thee, which art f infamous and much 
vexed. 

6 Behold, e the princes of Israel, 
every one were in thee to their 
f power to shed blood. 

7 In thee have they ^set light by 
father and mother : in the midst of 
thee have they g dealt by || oppression 
with the stranger: in thee have they 
vexed the fatherless and the widow. 

8 Thou hast ''despised my holy 
things, and hast ' profaned my sab- 
baths. 

9 In thee are f •< men that carry 
tales to shed blood : 'and in thee they 
eat upon the mountains: in the midst 
of thee they commit lewdness. 

10 In thee have they '» discovered 
their fathers' nakedness : in thee have 
they humbled her that was "set apart 
for pollution. 

11 And II one hath committed abo- 
mination °witli his neighbour's wife; 
and II another Phath |1 lewdly defiled 
his daughter-in-law ; and another in 
thee hath humbled his <\ sister, his 
father's daughter. 

12 In thee <■ have they taken gifts to 
shed blood ; ^ thou hast taken usury 
and increase, and thou hast greedily 
•gained of thy neighbours by extor- 
tion, and 'hast forgotten me, saith 
the Lord God.

13 ^Behold, therefore I have "smit- 
ten my hand at thy dishonest gain 
which thou hast made, and at thy 
blood which hath been in the midst 
of thee. 

1 4 ^ Can thy heart endure, or can thy 
hands be strong, in the days that I 
shall deal with thee? yl the Lord 
have spoken it, and will do it. 

15 And ^I will scatter thee among

thiness out of thee. 

16 And thou || shalt take thine inhe- 
ritance in thyself in the sight of the 
heathen, and '^ thou shalt know that I 
am the Lord. 

17 And the word of the Lord came

18 Son of man, <=the house of Israel 
is to me become dross : all they are 
brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in

even the f dross of silver. 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God, Because ye are all become 
dross, behold, therefore I will gather 
you into the midst of Jerasalem. 

20 ] As they gather silver, and brass, 
and iron, and lead, and tin, into the 
midst of the furnace, to blow the fire 
upon it, to melt it; so will I gather 
you in mine anger and in my fury, 
and I will leave you there, and melt 
you. 

21 Yea, I will gather you, and ^ blow 
upon you in the fire of my wrath, 
and ye shall be melted in the midst 
thereof 

22 As silver is melted in the midst 
of the furnace, so shall ye be melted 
in the midst thereof; and ye shall

sirable young men, horsemen riding 
upon horses. 

7 Thus she f committed her whore- 
doms with them, with all them that 
were f the chosen men oP Assyria, 
and with all on whom she doted ; with 
all their idols she defiled herself. 

8 Neither left she her whoredoms 
brought f from Egypt : for in her 
youth they lay with her, and they 
bruised the breasts of her virginity, 
and poured their whoredom upon 
her. 

9 Wherefore, I have delivered her 
into the hand of her lovers, into the 
hand of the s Assyrians, upon Avhom 
she doted. 

10 These J' discovered her naked- 
ness : they took her sons and her 
daughters, and slew her with the 
sword : and she became f famous 
among women ; for they had exe- 
cuted judgment upon her. 

1 1 And i when her sister Aholibah 
saw this, ^ f she was more corrupt in 
her inordinate love than she, and in 
her Avhoredoms f more than her sis- 
ter in her whoredoms. 

12 She doted upon the ^ Assyrians 
her neighbours, "^ captains and rulers 
clothed most gorgeously, horsemen 
riding upon horses, all of them de- 
sirable young men. 

13 Then I saw that she was defiled, 
that they took both one way ; 

14 And that she increased her 
whoredoms : for when she saw men 
portrayed upon the wall, the images 
of the Chaldeans portrayed with ver- 
milion, 

15 Girded with girdles upon their 
loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon 
their heads, all of them princes to 
look to, after the manner of the Ba- 
bylonians of Chaldea, the land of 
their nativity: 

16 "And fas soon as she saw them 
with her eyes, she doted upon them, 
and sent messengers unto them into 
Chaldea. 

17 And the f Babylonians came to 
her into the bed of love, and they de- 
filed her with their whoredom, and 
she was polluted with them, and °her 
mind was f ahenated from them. 

18 So she discovered her whore- 
doms, and discovered her nakedness: 
then Pmy mind was alienated from 

832 



The judgments of 

her, like as my mind was alienated 
from her sister. 

19 Yet she multiplied her whore- 
doms, in calling to remembrance the 
days of her youth, q wherein she had 
played the harlot in the land of E- 

20 For she doted upon their pai-a- 
mours, "^ whose flesh is as the flesh of 
asses, and whose issue is like the is- 
sue of horses. 

21 Thus thou calledst to remem- 
brance the lewdness of thy youth, in 
bruising thy teats by the Egyptians 
for the paps of thy youth. 

22 t Therefore, O Aholibah, thus 
saith the Lord God; « Behold, I will 
raise up thy lovers against thee, from 
whom thy mind is alienated, and I 
will bring them against thee on every 
side; 

23 The Babylonians, and all the 
Chaldeans, tPekod, and Shoa, and 
Koa, and all the Assyrians with them : 
"all of them desirable young men, 
captains and rulers, great lords and 
renowned, all of them riding upon 
horses. 

24 And they shall come against thee 
with chariots, wagons, and wheels, 
and with an assembly of people, 
which shall set against thee buckler 
and shield and helmet round about: 
and I will set judgment before them, 
and they shall judge thee according 
to their judgments. 

25 And I will set my jealousy a- 
gainst thee, and they shall deal fu- 
riously with thee : they sliall take 
away thy nose and thine ears ; and 
thy remnant shall fall by the sword : 
they shall take thy sons and thy 
daughters ; and thy residue shall be 
devoured by the fire. 

26 »They shall also strip thee out 
of thy clothes, and take away thy 
t fair jewels. 

27 Thus y will I make thy lewdness 
to cease from thee, and ^thy whore- 
dom brought from the land of E- 
gypt : so that thou shall not lift up 
thine eyes unto them, nor remember 
Egypt any more. 

28 For thus saith the Lord God ; 
Behold, I will deliver thee into the 
hand of t/tem ^^whom thou hatest, 
into the hand of them "jfrom whom 
thy mind is alienated :

Aholah and AJiolihah. 

29 And they shall deal with thee 
hatefully, and shall take away all thy 
labour, and <= shall leave thee naked 
and bare : and the nakedness of thy 
whoredoms shall be discovered, both 
thy lewdness and thy whoredoms. 

30 I will do these things unto thee, 
because thou hast '^gone a whoring 
after the heathen, and because thou 
art polluted w'ith their idols. 

31 Thou hast w alked in the way ot 
thy sister ; therefore will I give her 
^cup into thy hand. 

32 Thus saith the Lord God; Thou 
shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep 
and large : <"thou shalt be laughed to 
scorn and had in derision ; it con- 
taineth much. 

33 Thou shalt be filled with drunk- 
enness and sorrow, with the cup ot 
astonishment and desolation, with the 
cup of thy sister Samaria. 

34 Thou shalt Seven drink it and 
suck it out, and thou shalt break the 
sherds thereof, and pluck oft' thine 
own breasts : for I have spoken it, 
saith the Lord God. 

35 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God ; Because thou '' hast forgotten 
me, and 'cast me behind thy back, 
therefore bear thou also thy lewdness 
and thy whoredoms. 

36 HThe Lord said, moreover, unto 
me; Son of man, wilt thou ''|| judge 
Aholah and Aholibah? yea, 'declare 
unto them their abominations; 

37 That they have committed adul- 
tery, and '" blood is in their hands, 
and with their idols have they com- 
mitted adultery, and have also caused 
their sons, "whom they bare unto me, 
to pass for them through the fire, to 
devour tliem. 

38 Moreover, this they have done 
unto me : they have defiled my sanc- 
tuary in the same day, and °have 
profaned my sabbaths. 

39 For when they had slain their 
children to their idols, then they came 
the same day into my sanctuaiy to 
profane it ; and lo, Pthus have they 
done in the midst of my house. 

40 And furthermore, that ye have 
sent for men fto come from far, i un- 
to whom a messenger i«as sent; and 
lo, they came : for whom thou didst 
■^wash thyself, ^paintedst thy eyes, 
and deckedst thyself with ornaments, 

'833 



By the parable of a boiling pot 

41 And satest upon a f stately * bed, 
and a table prepared before it, 
"whereupon thou hast set mine in- 
cense and mine oil. 

42 And a voice of a multitude be- 
ing at ease was with her : and with 
the men f of the common sort ivere 
brought II Sabeans from the wilder- 
ness, which put bracelets upon their 
hands, and beautiful crowns upon 
their heads. 

43 Then said I unto her that was 
old in adulteries, Will they now com- 
mit f whoredoms with her, and she 
with them ? 

44 -Yet they went in unto her, as 
they go in unto a woman that play- 
eth the harlot: so went they in unto 
Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd 
women. 

45 ^ And the righteous men, they 
shall ^ judge them after the manner 
of adulteresses, and after the manner 
of women that shed blood ; because 
they are adulteresses, and y blood is 
in their hands. 

46 For thus saith the Lord God ; 
^I will bring up a company upon 
them, and will give them f to be re- 
moved and spoiled. 

47 S'And the company shall stone 
them with stones, and || despatch them 
with their swords ; ^ they shall slay 
their sons and their daughters, and 
burn up their houses with fire, 

48 Thus '^will I cause lewdness to 
cease out of the land, '^that all wo- 
men may be taught not to do after 
your lewdness. 

49 And they shall recompense your 
lewdness upon you, and ye shall ^bear 
the sins of your idols: *'and ye shall 
know that I am the Lord God.

Jerusalem's destruction is shewed. 

Thus saith the Lord God ; <= Set on 
a pot, set it on, and also pour water 
into it : 

4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, 
even every good piece, the thigh, and 
the shoulder ; fill it with the choice 
bones. 

5 Take the choice of the flock, 
and II burn also the bones under it, 
and make it boil well, and let them 
seethe the bones of it therein. 

6 ^ Wherefore thus saith the Lord 
God; Wo to ''the bloody city, to 
the pot whose scum is therein, and 
whose scum is not gone out of it ! 
bring it out piece by piece ; let no 
«lot fall upon it. 

7 For her blood is in the midst of 
her ; she set it upon the top of a 
rock ; ''she poured it not upon the 
ground, to cover it with dust ; 

8 That it might cause fury to come 
up to take vengeance; el have set her 
blood upon the top of a rock, that it 
should not be covered. 

9 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; ^Wo to the bloody city! I 
will even make the pile for fire great. 

10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, 
consume the flesh, and spice it well, 
and let the bones be burned. 

1 1 Then set it empty upon the coals 
thereof, that the brass of it may be 
hot, and may burn, and that 'the 
filthiness of it may be molten in it, 
that the scum of it may be con- 
sumed. 

12 She hath wearied herself with 
lies, and her great scum went not 
forth out of her : her scum shall he 
in the fire. 

13 In thy filthiness is lewdness: be- 
cause I have purged thee, and thou 
wast not purged, thou shalt not be 
purged from thy filthiness any more 
ktill I have caused my fury to rest 
upon thee. 

14 1 1 the Lord have spoken it: it 
shall come to pass, and I will do it; 
I will not go back, ^ neither will I 
spare, neither will I repent ; accord- 
ing to thy ways, and according to thy 
doings, shall they judge thee, saith 
the Lord God. 

15 lAlso the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

16 Son of man, behold,! take away 
from thee the desire of thine eyes

with a stroke : yet neither shalt thou 
mourn nor weep, neither shall thy 
tears f run down. 

1 7 f Forbear to cry, " make no 
mourning for the dead, obind the 
tire of thy head upon thee, and Pput 
on thy shoes upon thy feet, and l co- 
ver not thy flips, and eat not the 
bread of men. 

18 Sol spake unto the people in 
the morning : and at even my wife 
died ; and 1 did in the morning as I 
was commanded. 

19 IF And the people said unto me, 
■■Wilt thou not tell us what these 
things are to us, that thou doest so ? 

20 ThenI answered them. The word 
of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

21 Speak unto the house of Israel, 
Thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, 
•I will profane my sanctuan,', the 
excellency of your strength, ^ the 
desire of your eyes, and f that which 
your soul pitieth; "and your sons 
and your daughters whom ye have 
left shall fall by the sword. 

22 And ye shall do as I have done : 
*ye shall not cover your lips, nor 
eat the bread of men. 

23 And your tires s/<fif// he upon your 
heads, and your shoes upon your feet : 
y ye shall not mourn nor weep ; but 
^ ye shall pine away for your iniqui- 
ties, and mourn one toward another. 

24 Thus ''Ezekiel is unto you a 
sign: according to all that he hath 
done shall ye do: i^and when this 
Cometh, <^ ye shall know that I am 
the Lord God. 

25 Also, thou son of man, shall it 
not be in the day when I take from 
them "i their strength, the joy of tlieir 
glory, the desire of their eyes, and 
t that whereupon they set their minds, 
their sons and their daughters, 

26 That "^he that escapeth in that 
day shall come unto thee, to cause 
tliee to hear it with thine ears? 

27 'In that day shall thy mouth be 
opened to him which is escaped, and 
thou shalt speak, and be no more 
dumb: and ethou shalt be a sign 
unto them ; and they shall know that 
I am the Lord.

XXV. God's vengeanceon the Ammonites, <^-c, 

HE word of the Lord came 
again unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, ^set thy face ^ against 
the Ammonites, and prophesy against 
them ; 

3 And say unto the Ammonites, 
Hear the word of the Lord God ; 
Thus saith the Lord God ; <= Because 
thou saidst. Aha, against my sanc- 
tuary', when it was profaned: and 
against the land of Israel, when it 
was desolate ; and against the house 
of Judah, when they went into cap- 
tivit\' ; 

4 Behold, therefore I will deliver 
thee to the f men of the east for a 
possession, and they shall set their 
palaces in thee, and make their dwell- 
ings in thee : they shall eat thy fmit, 
and they shall drink thy milk. 

5 And I will make "^ Kabbah <= a sta- 
ble for camels, and the Ammonites 
a couching-place for flocks : 'and ye 
shall know that I am the Lord. 

6 For thus saith the Lord God ; 
Because thou ehast clapped thy 
t hands, and stamped with the f feet, 
and ''rejoiced in f heart with all thy 
despite against the land of Israel; 

7 Behold, therefore I will 'stretch 
out my hand upon thee, and will 
deliver thee for || a spoil to the hea- 
then ; and I w ill cut thee oft' from 
the people, and I will cause thee to 
perish out of the countries: I will 
destroy thee ; and thou shalt know 
that I G/n the Lord. 

8 lIThus saith the Lord God ; Be- 
cause that '^Moab and 'Seir do say. 
Behold, the house of Judah is like 
unto all the heathen ; 

9 Therefore, behold, I will open the 
t side of Moab from the cities, from 
his cities which are on his frontiers, 
the gloiy of the country, Beth-jeshi- 
moth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim, 

10 ""Unto the men of the east || with 
the Ammonites, and will give them 
in possession, that the Ammonites 
" may not be remembered among 
the nations. 

11 And I will execute judgments 
upon INIoab ; and they shall know 
that I am the Lord. 

12 TlThus saith the Lord God; 
"Because that Edom hath dealt a- 
gainst the house of Judah f by tak- 
ing vengeance, and hath greatly of-

make it desolate from Teman ; and 
Ijthey of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

•iBecause "^the Philistines have dealt 
by revenge, and have taken ven- 
geance with a despiteful heart, to 
destroy it \\ for the old hatred ; 

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God ; Behold, « I will stretch out 
my hand upon the Philistines, and I 
will cut off the tCherethims,"and de- 
stroy the remnant of the || sea coasts. 

17 And I will ■''execute great f ven-

am the Lord, when I shall lay my 
vengeance upon them.

8 He shall slay with the sword thy

a mount against thee, and lift up the

9 And he shall set engines of war 
against thy walls, and with his axes 
he shall break down thy towers. 

10 By reason of the abundance of 
his horses, their dust shall cover thee: 
thy walls shall shake at the noise of 
the horsemen, and of the wheels, and 
of the chariots, when he shall enter 
into thy gates, f as men enter into a 
city wherein is made a breach. 

11 With the hoofs of his horses shall 
he tread down all thy streets : he shall 
slay thy people by the sword, and thy 
strong garrisons shall go down to the 
ground, 

12 And they shall make a spoil of 
thy riches, and make a prey of thy 
merchandise : and they shall break 
down thy walls, and destroy f thy 
pleasant houses : and they shall lay 
thy stones, and thy timber, and thy 
dust, in the midst of the water. 

13 hAnd I will cause the noise of

of thy harps shall be no more heard,

''thou hast said, I am a god, I sit in

10 Thou shalt die the deaths of

the Lord God. 

11 If Moreover the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

12 Son of man, 'take up a lamen- 
tation upon the king of Tynis, and 
say unto him. Thus saith the Lord 
God ;^Thou sealest up the sum, full 
of wisdom, and perfect in beaut}'. 

13 Thou hast been in 'Eden the 
garden of God : ever)' precious stone 
was thy covering, the || sardius, topaz, 
and the diamond, the || beryl, the 
onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, 
the II emerald, and the carbuncle, and 
gold: the workmanship of ""thy ta- 
brets and of thy pipes, was prepar- 
ed in thee in the day that thou wast 
created. 

14 Thou art the anointed "cherub 
that covereth ; and I have set thee 
so : thou wast upon °the holy moun- 
tain of God ; thou hast walked up 
and down in the midst of the stones 
of fire. 

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways 
from the day that thou wast created, 
till iniquity was found in thee. 

16 By the multitude of thy mer- 
chandise they have filled the midst of 
thee with violence, and thou hast sin- 
ned : therefore I will cast thee as pro- 
fane out of the mountain of God : 
and I will destroy thee, p O covering 
cherub, from the midst of the stones 
of fire. 

17 qThy heart was lifted up be- 
cause of thy beauty, thou hast cor- 
rupted thy wisdom by reason of thy 
brightness : I will cast thee to the 
ground, I will lay thee before kings, 
that they may behold thee. 

18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries 
by the multitude of thine iniquities, 
by the iniquity of thy traffick ; there- 
fore will I bring forth a fire from the 
midst of thee, it shall devour thee, 
and I will bring thee to ashes upon 
the earth in the sight of all them that 
behold thee. 

19 All they that know thee among 
the people shall be astonished at thee :

shah thou be any more.

that I am the Lord. 

24 TI And there shall be no more ^a

rael, nor any grieving thorn of all 
that are round about them that de- 
spised them ; and they shall know 
that I am the Lord God. 

25 Thus saith the Lord God; \VTien 
I shall have ''gathered the house of 
Israel from the people among whom 
they are scattered, and shall be = sanc- 
tified in them in the sight of the hea- 
then, then shall they dwell in their 
land that I have given to my servant 
Jacob. 

26 And they shall <^ dwell || safely 
therein, and shall « build houses, and 
•"plant vineyards ; yea, they shall 
dwell with confidence, when I have 
executed judgments upon all those 
that II despise them round about 
them ; and they shall know that I 
am the Lord their God.

and I will cause the fish of thy rivers

bring thee up out of the midst of thy

shall stick unto thy scales. 

5 And I will leave thee thrown into

of thy rivers : thou shalt fall upon 
the f open fields; &thou shalt not be 
brought together, nor gathered: '»I 
have given thee for meat to the beasts

6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt 
shall know that I am the Lord, be- 
cause they have been a 'staff of reed 
to the house of Israel. 

7 k When they took hold of thee by 
thy hand, thou didst break, and rend 
all their shoulder: and when they 
leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and 
madest all their loins to be at a stand. 

8 If Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God ; Behold, I will bring 'a sword 
upon thee, and cut off man and beast 
out of thee. 

9 And the land of Egypt shall be 
desolate and waste ; and they shall 
know that I am the Lord : because 
he hath said. The river is mine, and 
I have made it.

will make the land of Egypt f utterly

through it, nor foot of beast shall 
pass through it, neither shall it be

Egypt desolate in the midst of the 
countries that are desolate, and her 
cities among the cities that are lajd 
waste shall be desolate forty years: 
and I Avill scatter the Egyptians a- 
mong the nations, and will disperse 
them through the countries.

At the q end of forty years will I ga- 
ther the Egyptians from the people

the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

18 Son of man, * Nebuchadrezzar 
king of Babylon caused his army to 
serve a great service against Tyrus : 
every head loasmade bald, and every 
shoulder was peeled : yet had he no 
wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for 
the service thathe had served against 
it: 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God ; Behold, I will give the land of 
Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of 
Babylon ; and he shall take her mul- 
titude, and ■\ take her spoil, and take 
her prey ; and it shall be the wages 
for his army. 

20 I have given him the land of 
Egypt Wfor his labour wherewith 
he "served against it, because they 
wrought for me, saith the Lord God. 

21 Tlln that day '^will I cause the

5 Ethiopia, and f Libya, and Ly-

and Chub, and the f men of the land 
that is in league, shall fall with them 
by the sword. 

6 Thus saith the Lord ; They also 
that uphold Egypt shall fall ; and the 
pride of her power shall comedown: 
II f from the tower of Syene shall they 
fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord 
God. 

7 sAnd they shall be desolate in the 
midst of the countries that are deso- 
late, and her cities shall be in the 
midst of the cities that are wasted. 

8 And they shall know that I am 
the Lord, when I have set a fire in 
Egypt, and when all her helpers shall 
be f destroyed. 

9 In that day ii shall messengers go 
forth from me in ships to make the 
careless Ethiopians afraid, and great 
pain shall come upon them, as in the 
day of Eg)'pt : for, lo, it cometh. 

10 Thus saith the Lord God; 'I 
will also make the multitude of Egypt 
to cease by the hand of Nebuchad- 
rezzar king of Babylon. 

11 He and his people with him, 
^the terrible of the nations, shall be 
brought to destroy the land : and they 
shall draw their swords against 
Egj'pt,and fill the land with the slain. 

12 And 'I will make the rivers 
fdry, and ""sell the land into the 
hand of the wicked : and I will make 
the land Avaste, and f all that is 
therein, by the hand of strangers : I 
the Lord have spoken it. 

13 Thus saith the Lord God ; I will 
also "destroy the idols, and I will 
cause their images to cease out of 
Noph; "and there shall be no more 
a prince of the land of Egjpt : Pand 

I will put a fear in the land of 

Egypt. 

14 And I will make iPathros deso-

will execute judgments in No. 

15 And I will pour my fury upon 

II Sin, the strength of Egypt; and «I 
will cut off the multitude of No.

25 But I will strengthen the arms

A recital of the Assyrian's greatness, E Z E K I E L 

2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh 
king of Egypt, and to his multitude ; 
''Whom art thou Hke in thy great- 
ness? 

3 "|[ "^Behold, the Assyrian xcas a ce- 
dar in Lebanon fwith fair branches 
and with a shadowing shroud, and of 
a high stature; and his top was 
among the thick boughs. 

4 ^The waters || made him great 
the deep 1| set him up on high with 
her rivers running round about his 
plants, and sent out her || little rivers 
unto all the trees of the field. 

5 Therefore, <^ his height was exalted 
above all the trees of the field, and 
his boughs were multiplied, and his 
branches became long because of 
the multitude of waters, 1| when he 
shot forth. 

6 All the ^ fowls of heaven made 
their nests in his boughs, and under 
his branches did all the beasts of the 
field bring forth their young, and 
under his shadow dwelt all great 
nations. 

7 Thus was he fair in his great- 
ness, in the length of his branches : 
for his root was by great waters. 

8 The cedars in the ^garden of God 
could not hide him : the fir-trees were 
not like his boughs, and the chesnut- 
treeswere not like his branches; not 
any tree in the garden of God was 
like unto him in his beauty. 

9 I have made him fair by the mul- 
titude of his branches: so that all the 
trees of Eden, that were in the gar- 
den of God, envied him. 

10^ Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God ; Because thou hast lifted up 
thyself in height, and he hath shot up 
his top among the thick boughs, and 
g his heart is lifted up in his height ; 

111 have therefore delivered him 
into the hand of the mighty one of 
the heathen ; fhe shall surely deal 
with him : I have driven him out for 
his wickedness. 

12 And strangers, ""the terrible of 
the nations, have cut him off, and 
have left him : 'upon the mountains 
and in all the valleys his branches are 
fallen, and his boughs are broken by 
all the rivers of the land ; and all the 
people of the earth are gone down 
from his shadow, and have left him

14 To the end that none of all the 
trees by the waters, exalt themselves 
for their height, neither shoot up their 
top among the thick boughs, neither 
their trees || stand up in their height, 
all that drink water: for Hhey are all 
delivered unto death, '^^to the nether 
parts of the earth, in the midst of the 
children of men, with them that go 
down to the pit. 

1 5 Thus saith the Lord God ; In 
the day when he went down to the 
grave I caused a mourning : I cover- 
ed the deep for him, and I restrained 
the floods thereof, and the great wa- 
ters were stayed : and I caused Le- 
banon f to mourn for him, and all the 
trees of the field fainted for him. 

16 I made the nations to "shake at 
the sound of his fall, when I °cast 
him down to hell with them that de- 
scend into the pit: and Pall the trees 
of Eden, the choice and best of Le- 
banon, all that drink water, i shall 
be comforted in the nether parts of 
the earth. 

17 They also went down into hell 
with him, unto them that he slain 
with the sword ; and they that were 
his arm, that '"dwelt under his sha- 
dow in the midst of the heathen, 

18 T[ sTo whom art thou thus like 
in glory and in greatness among the 
trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be 
brought down with the trees of Eden 
unto the nether parts of the earth: 
'thou shalt lie in the midst of the 
uncircumcised with them that he slain 
by the sword. This is Pharaoh and 
all his multitude, saith the Lord God.

4 Then ("will I leave thee upon the

8 All the t bright lights of heaven

The duty of a watchman, 

them, ^ f When I bring the sword 
upon a land, if the people of the 
land take a man of their coasts, and 
set him for their <= watchman : 

3 If when he seeth the sword come 
upon the land, he blow the trumpet, 
and warn the people ; 

4 Then, f whosoever heareth the 
sound of the trumpet, and taketh 
not warning ; if the sword come 
and take him away, "^his blood shall 
be upon his own head. 

5 He heard the sound of the trum- 
pet, and took not warning ; his blood 
shall be upon him. But he that tak- 
eth warning shall deliver his soul. 

6 But if the watchman see the 
sword come, and blow not the trum- 
pet, and the people be not warned ; if 
the sword come, and take any person 
from among them, ^he is taken away 
in his iniquity ; but his blood will I 
require at the watchman's hand. 

7 ^ f So thou, O son of man, I 
have set thee a watchman unto the 
house of Israel ; therefore thou shalt 
hear the word at my mouth, and 
warn them from me. 

8 When I say unto the wicked, O 
wicked man, thou shalt surely die ; 
if thou dost not speak to warn the 
wicked from his way, that wicked 
man shall die in his iniquity ; but his 
blood will I require at thy hand. 

9 Nevertheless, if thou vrarn the 
wicked of his way to turn from it ; 
if he do not turn from his way, he 
shall die in his iniquity : but thou 
hast delivered thy soul. 

10 Therefore, O thou son of man, 
speak unto the house of Israel ; Thus 
ye speak, saying, If our transgres- 
sions and our sins he upon us, and 
we gpine away in them, I'how should 
we then live 1 

1 1 Say unto them. As I live, saith 
the Lord God, "I have no pleasure 
in the death of the wicked ; but that 
the wicked turn from his way and 
live : turn ye, turn ye from your evil 
ways ; for '^why will ye die, O house 
of Israel? 

12 Therefore, thou son of man, say 
unto the children of thy people. The 
•righteousness of the righteous shall 
not deliver him in the day of his 
transgression : as for the wickedness 
of the wicked, "^he shall not fall

thereby in the day that he turneth 
from his wickedness; neither shall 
the righteous be able to live for his 
righteousness in the day that he sin- 
neth. 

13 When I shall say to the righte- 
ous, that he shall surely live ; " if he 
trust to his own righteousness, and 
commit iniquity, all his righteous- 
nesses shall not be remembered ; but 
for his iniquity that he hath commit- 
ted, he shall die for it. 

14 Again, "when I say unto the 
wicked, Thou shait surely die; if 
he turn from his sin, and do f that 
which is lawful and right ; 

15 //"the wicked? restore the pledge, 
^give again that he had robbed, walk 
in 'the statutes of hfe, without com- 
mitting iniquity ; he shall surely hve, 
he shall not die. 

16 ^None of his sins that he hath 
committed shall be mentioned unto 
him : he hath done that which is law- 
ful and right ; he shall surely live. 

17 1 'Yet the children of 'thy peo- 
ple say. The way of the Lord is not 
equal : but as for them, their way is 
not equal. 

18 "When the righteous turneth 
from his righteousness, and commit- 
teth iniquity, he shall even die there- 
by. 

19 But if the wicked tm-n from his 
wickedness, and do that which is law- 
ful and right, he shall live thereby. 

SOU Yet ye say, ^The way of "the 
Lord is not equal. O ye house of 
Israel, I will judge you every one af- 
ter his ways.

30 TIAlso, thou son of man, the 
children of thy people still are talk- 
ing II against thee by the walls and in 
the doors of the houses, and ' speak 
one to another, every one to his bro- 
ther, saying. Come, I pray you, and 
hear what is the word that cometh 
forth from the Lord. 

31 And " they come unto thee f as 
the people cometh, and || they * sit 
before thee as my people, and they 
hear thy words, but they will not do 
them : >' for with their mouth f they 
shew much love, hut ^ their heart 
goeth after their covetousness. 

32 And lo, thou art unto them as 
t a very lovely song of one that hath 
a pleasant voice, and can play well 
on an instrument : for they hear thy 
words, but they do them not. 

33 ^And when this cometh to pass,

know that a prophet hath been a-

The shepherds of Israel reproved. 

2 Son of man, prophesy against the 
»■ shepherds of Israel, prophesy, ajid 
say unto them. Thus saith the Lord 
God unto the shephei'ds ; t>Wo be 
to the shepherds of Israel that do 
feed themselves ! should not the 
shepherds feed the flocks ? 

3 *= Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you 
with the wool, "^ye kill them that are 
fed; but ye feed not the flock. 

4 e The diseased have ye not 
strengthened, neither have ye healed 
that which was sick, neither have ye 
bound up that which was broken, 
neither have ye brought again that 
which was driven away, neither have 
ye f sought that which was lost; but 
with g force and with ci'uelty have ye 
ruled them. 

5 ^And they were ' scattered, || be- 
cause there is no shepherd : ^ and 
they became meat to all the beasts 
of the field, when they were scatter- 
ed. 

6 My sheep wandered through all 
the mountains, and upon every high 
hill : yea, my flock was scattered up- 
on all the face of the earth, and none 
did search or seek after them. 

7 ^Therefore, ye shepherds, hear 
the word of the Lord ; 

8 As I live, saith the Lord God, 
surely because my flock became a 
prey, and my flock ' became meat to 
every beast of the field, because 
there was no shepherd, neither did 
my shepherds search for my flock, 
"> but the shepherds fed themselves, 
and fed not my flock ; 

9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear 
the word of the Lord ; 

10 Thus saith the Lord God ; Be- 
hold, I a7n against the shepherds ; 
and " I will require my flock at their 
hand, and cause them to cease from 
feeding the flock; neither shall the 
shepherds ° feed themselves any 
more; for I will deliver my flock 
from their mouth, that they may not 
be meat for them. 

11 TI For thus saith the Lord God; 
B( hold, I, even I, will both search 
m}' sheep, and seek them out. 

12 f As a shepherd seeketh out his 
flock in the day that he is among his 
sheep that are scattered ; so will I 
seek out my sheep, and will deliver 
them out of all places where they

13 And il will bring them out from 
the people, and gather them from 
the countries, and will bring them 
to their own land, and feed them 
upon the mountains of Israel by the 
rivers, and in all the inhabited places 
of the country. 

14 "^ I will feed them in a good pas- 
ture, and upon the high mountains 
of Israel shall their fold be : Hhere 
shall they lie in a good fold, and in 
a fat pasture shall they feed upon 
the mountains of Israel. 

15 I will feed my flock, and I v/ill 
cause them to lie down, saith the 
Lord God. 

16*1 will seek that which was lost, 
and bring again that which was 
driven away, and will bind up that 
which was broken, and will strength- 
en that which was sick : but I will 
destroy "the fat and the strong; I 
will feed them ^ with judgment. 

17 And as for you, O my flock, 
thus saith the Lord God ; y Behold, 
I judge between f cattle and cattle, 
between the rams and the f he-goats. 

18 Seemeth it a small thing unto 
you to have eaten up the good pas- 
ture, but ye must tread down with 
your feet the residue of your pas- 
tures ? and to have drunk of the 
deep waters, but ye must foul the 
residue with your feet ? 

19 And as for my flock, they eat 
that which ye have trodden with your 
feet ; and they drink that which ye 
have fouled with your feet. 

20 *1I Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God unto them ; ^Behold, I, even I, 
will judge between the fat cattle and 
between the lean cattle. 

21 Because ye have thrust with 
side and with shoulder, and pushed 
all the diseased with your horns, till 
ye have scattered them abroad ; 

22 Therefore will I save my flock, 
and they shall no more be a prey ; 
and al will judge between cattle and 
cattle. 

23 And I will set up one ^ Shepherd 
over them, and he shall feed them,

feed them, and he shall be their 
shepherd.

6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord 
God, I will prepare thee unto blood, 
and blood shall pursue thee : ^ since 
thou hast not hated blood, even blood 
shall pm'sue thee. 

7 Thus will I make mount Seir fmost 
desolate, and cut off from it 'him that 
passeth out and him that returneth. 

8 i^And I will fill his mountains with 
his slain men : in thy hills, and in thy 
valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they 
fall that are slain with the sword. 

9 'I will make thee perpetual deso-

Lord God, I will even do P according

envy which thou hast used out of thy 
hatred against them ; and I will make 
myself known among them, when I 
have judged thee. 

12 q And thou shalt know that I am 
the Lord, and that I have heard all 
thy blasphemies which thou hast spo- 
ken against the mountains of Israel, 
saying, They are laid desolate, they 
are given us f to consume. 

13 Thus ""with your mouth ye have

tiplied your words against me : I have 
heard them.

the whole earth rejoiceth,I will make

15 'As thou didst rejoice at the in- 
heritance of the house of Israel, be- 
cause it was desolate, so will I do un-

ed you up on every side, that ye might

and to the valleys, to the desolate 
wastes, and to the cities that are for-

s derision to the residue of the hea-

God ; ^^ Surely in the fire of my jea-

due of the heathen, and against all

land into their possession with the 
joy of all their heart, with despiteful

6 Prophesy therefore concerning the

Surely the heathen that are about

ye shall shoot forth your branches,

Israel ; for they are at hand to come. 

9 For behold, I am for you, and I 
will turn unto you, and ye shall be 
tilled and sown :

12 Yea, I will cause men to walk 
upon you, even my people Israel ; 
Pand they shall possess thee, and 
thou shalt be their inheritance, and 
thou shalt no more henceforth q be- 
reave them of men.

devourest up men, and hast bereaved 
thy nations ; 

14 Therefore, thou shaltdevour men 
no more, neither Hbereave thy nations

Lord came unto me, saying, 

17 Son of man, when the house of 
Israel dwelt in their own land, Hhey 
defiled it by their own way and by 
their doings : their way was before 
me as " the uncleanness of a remo- 
ved woman. 

18 Wherefore, I poured my fury 
upon them *for the blood that they 
had shed upon the land, and for their 
idols wherewith they had polluted 
it: 

19 And I y scattered them among 
the heathen, and they were dispersed 
through the countries : ^ according 
to their way and according to their 
doings I judged them. 

20 And when they entered unto 
the heathen, whither they went, they 
=^ profaned my holy name, when they 
said to them, These are the people of 
the Lord, and are gone forth out of 
his land. 

21 "[[But, I had pity ''for my holy, 
name, which the house of Israel had 
profaned among the heathen, whither 
they went. 

22 Therefore, say unto the house of 
Israel, Thus saith the Lord Gori ; I 
do not this for your sakes, O house 
of Israel, <=but for my holy name's 
sake, which ye have profaned among 
the heathen, whither ye went. 

23 And I will sanctify my great 
name, which was profaned among the 
heathen, which ye have profaned in 
the midst of them ; and the heathen 
shall know that I am the Lord, saith

The resurrection of dry hones, 

37 Thus saith the Lord God ; y I 
will yet for this be inquired of by the 
house of Israel, to do it for them : I 
will 2 increase them with men like a 
flock. 

38 As the fholy flock, as the flock 
of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts ; 
so shall the waste cities be filled with 
flocks of men : and they shall know 
that I am the Lord. 

CHAR XXX^IL 

1 By the resurrection of dry bones, 11 the dead 
hope of Israel is revived. ]5 By the uniting 
ofitro sticks, 18 is shewed the incorporation of 
Israel into J udah. '20 l^he promises of Christ's 
kingdom. 

THE ^ hand of the Lord was upon 
me, and carried me out ''in the 
Spirit of the Lord, and set me down 
in the midst of the valley which was 
full of bones, 

2 x\nd caused me to pass by them 
round about: and behold, there were 
ver}^ many in the open |j valley ; and 
lo, they were very dry. 

3 And he said unto me, Son of 
man, can these bones live ? and I an- 
swered, O Lord God, <: thou knowest. 

4 Again he said unto me. Prophesy 
upon these bones, and say unto them, 
O ye dry bones, hear the word of the 
Lord. 

5 Thus saith the Lord God unto 
these bones ; Behold, I will ^ cause 
breath to enter into you, and ye shall 
live: 

6 And I will lay sinews upon you, 
and will bring up flesh upon you, and 
cover you with skin, and put breath in 
you, and ye shall live ; *= and ye shall 
know that I am the Lord. 

7 So I prophesied as I was com- 
manded : and as I prophesied, there 
was a noise, and behold a shaking, 
and the bones came together, bone 
to his bone. 

8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews 
and the flesh came up upon them, 
and the skin covered them above: 
but there was no breath in them. 

9 Then said he unto me. Prophesy 
unto the || wind, prophesy, son or 
man, and say to the wind, Thus saith 
the Lord God; ^Come from the four 
winds, O breath, and breathe upon 
these slain, that they may live. 

10 Sol prophesied as he command- 
ed me, ?and the breath came into 
them, and they lived, and stood up

upon their feet, an exceeding great 
armv, 

11 ^Thcn ho said unto me, Son of 
man.tiiese bones are \he whole house 
ot Israel : behold, they say, ^ Our 
bones are dried, and our hope is lost : 
we are cut off for our parts. 

12 Therefore prophesy and say un- 
to them. Thus saith the Lord God ; 
Behold, i O my people, I will open 
vour graves, and cause you to come 
up out of your graves, and i' bring 
you into the land of Israel. 

13 And ye shall know that I am 
the Lord, when I have opened your 
graves, O my people, and brought 
you up out of your graves, 

14 And 'shall put my Spirit in you, 
and ye shall live, and I shall place 
you in your own land : then shall ye 
know that I the Lord have spoken 
it, and performed it, saith the Lord. 

15 *tIThe word of the Lord came 
again unto me, saying, 

1 6 Moreover, thou son of man, "> take 
thee one stick, and write upon it. For 
Judah, and for " the children of Israel 
his companions : then take another 
stick, and write upon it. For Joseph, 
the stick of Ephraim, and /or all the 
house of Israel his companions : 

17 And "join them one to another 
into one stick; and they shall be- 
come one in thy hand. 

18 TIAnd when the children of thy 
people shall speak unto thee, saying, 
I' Wilt thou not shew us what thou 
meanest by these ? 

19 iSay unto them. Thus saith the 
Lord God ; Behold, I will take '" the 
stick of Joseph, which is in the hand 
of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel 
his fellows, and will put them with 
him, even with the stick of Judah, 
and make them one stick, and they 
shall be one in my hand, 

20 TI And the sticks whereon thou 
writest shall be in thy hand ^ before 
their eyes. 

21 And say unto them. Thus saith 
the Lord God ; Behold, 'I will take 
the children of Israel from among the 
heathen, whither they be gone, and 
will gather them on every side, and 
bring them into their own land : 

22 And "I will make them one na 
tion in the land upon the mountains 
of Israel ; and ^ one king shall be

5 And behold i^a wall on the out- 
side of the house round about, and in 
the man's hand a measuring reed of 
six cubits long by the cubit and a 
hand-breadth : so he measured the 
breadth of the building, one reed : 
and the height, one reed. 

6 H Then came he unto the gate 
t which looketh toward the east, and 
went up the stairs thereof, and mea- 
sured the threshold of the gate, which 
was one reed broad ; and the other 
threshold of the gate, which icas one 
reed broad. 

7 And every little chamber was one 
reed long, and one reed broad ; and 
between the little chambers icere five 
cubits : and the threshold of the gate 
by the porch of the gate within was 
one reed. 

8 He measured also the porch of 
the gate within, one reed. 

9 Then measured he the porch of 
the gate, eight cubits ; and the posts 
thereof, two cubits ; and the porch of 
the gate was inward. 

10 And the little chambers of the 
gate eastward uere three on this side, 
and three on that side ; they three 
were of one measure : and the posts 
had one measure on this side and 
on that side. 

1 1 And he measured the breadth of 
the entrv' of the gate, ten cubits ; and 
the length of the gate, thirteen cubits. 

12 The t space also before the little 
chambers was one cubit on this side, 
and the space was one cubit on that 
side : and the little chambers were six 
cubits on this side, and six cubits on 
that side. 

13 He measured then the gate from 
the roof of one little chamber to the 
roof of another ; the breadth was five 
and twenty cubits, door against door. 

14 He made also posts of three- 
score cubits, even unto the post of 
the court round about the gate. 

15 And from the face of the gate 
of the entrance unto the face of the 
porch of the inner gate were fifty cu-

17 Then brought he me into ""the 
outward court, and lo, there were 
"chambers, and a pavement made 
for the court round about : ° thirty 
chambers were upon the pavement. 

18 And the pavement by the side of 
the gates over against the length of 
the gates was the lower pavement. 

19 Then he measured the breadth 
from the forefront of the lower gate 
unto the forefront of the inner court 
II without, a hundred cubits east- 
ward and northward. 

20 "^ And the gate of the outward 
court f that looked toward the north, 
he measured the length thereof, and 
the breadth thereof. 

21 And the little chambers thereof 
were three on this side and three on 
that side ; and the posts thereof and 
the II arches thereof were after the 
measure of the first gate : the length 
thereof was fifty cubits, and the 
breadth five and twenty cubits. 

22 And their windows, and their 
arches, and their palm-trees, were 
after the measure of the gate that 
looketh toward the east : and they 
went up unto it by seven steps ; and 
the arches thereof ifere before them. 

23 And the gate of the inner court 
was over against the gate toward the 
north, and toward the east : and he 
measured from gate to gate a hun- 
dred cubits. 

24 *![ After that he brought me to- 
ward the south, and behold a gate to- 
ward the south: and he measured the 
posts thereof and the arches thereof 
according to these measures. 

25 And there were windows in it 
and in the arches thereof round a- 
bout, like those windows : the length 
was fifty cubits, and the breadth five

26 And there were seven steps to go 
up to it, and the arches thereof were 
before them : and it had palm-trees, 
one on this side, and another on that 
side, upon the posts thereof. 

27 And there was a gate in the in- 
ner court toward the south : and he

28 And he brought me to the in-

measured the south gate according 
to these measures ; 

29 And the little chambers thereof, 
and the posts thereof, and the arches 
thereof, according to these measures : 
and there were windows in it and in 
the arches thereof round about : it 
was fifty cubits long, and five and 
twenty cubits broad. 

30 And the arches round about we?-e 
pfive and twenty cubits long, and five

31 And the arches thereof i«ere to- 
ward the outer court ; and palm-trees 
i^)ere upon the posts thereof : and the 
going up to it had eight steps. 

32 % And he brought me into the 
inner court toward the east : and he 
measured the gate according to these 
measures. 

33 And the little chambers thereof, 
and the posts thereof, and the arches 
thereof, were according to these mea- 
sures: and Z/iere?.oere windows there- 
in and in the arches thereof round 
about : it was fifty cubits long, and 
five and twenty cubits broad. 

34 And the arches thereof were to- 
ward the outward court ; and palm- 
trees were upon the posts thereof, on 
this side, and on that side : and the 
going up to it had eight steps. 

35 K And he brought me to the 
north gate, and measured it accord- 
ing to these measures ; 

36 The little chambers thereof, the 
posts thereof, and the arches thereof, 
and the windows to it round about : 
the length was fifty cubits, and the 
breadth five and twenty cubits. 

37 And the posts thereof wei'e to- 
ward the outer court ; and palm-trees 
were upon the posts thereof, on this 
side, and on that side : and the going 
up to it had eight steps. 

38 And the chambers, and the en- 
tries thereof wei^e by the posts of the 
gates, where they washed the burnt- 
offering. 

39 If And in the porch of the gate 
were two tables on this side, and two 
tables on that side, to slay thereon 
the bumt-oifering, and qthe sin-offer- 
ing, and ''the trespass-offering. 

40 And at the side without, || as one

gate, were two tables; and on the 
other side, which icas at the porch 
of the gate, were two tables. 

41 Four tables were on this side, 
and foui- tables on that side, by the 
side of the gate ; eight tables, where- 
upon they slew their sacrifices. 

42 And the four tables wej-c of hewn 
stone for the burnt-offering, of a cu- 
bit and a half long, and a cubit and 
a half broad, and one cubit high : 
whereupon also they laid the instru- 
ments wherewith they slew the burnt- 
offering and the sacrifice. 

43 And within were \\ hooks, a hand 
broad, fastened round about : and 
upon the tables was the flesh of the 
offering. 

44 Tf And without the inner gate 
rrere the chambers of « the singers in 
the inner court, which was at the side 
of the north gate ; and their prospect 
ji;as toward the south : one at the side 
of the east gate having the prospect 
toward the north. 

4") And he said unto me, This cham- 
ber, whose prospect is tow ard the 
s<xith, is for the priests, Hhe keepers 
of the II charge of the house. 

46 And the chamber whose prospec 
7S toward the north, is for the priests, 
"the keepers of the charge of the al- 
tar: these are the sons of *Zadok 
among the sons of Levi, which come 
near to the Lord to minister unto 
him. 

47 So he measured the court, a 
hundred cubits long, and a hundred 
cubits broad, four-square ; and the 
altar t/iat was before the house. 

48 II And he brought mc to the 
porch of the house, and measured 
each post of the porch, five cubits on 
this side, and five cubits on that side : 
and the breadth of the gate was three 
cubits on this side, and three cubits 
on that side. 

49 yThe length of the porch was 
twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven 
cubits; and he brought me by the 
steps whereby they went up to it : and 
there were ^ pillars by the posts, one 
on this side, and another on that side.

the tabernacle. 

2 And the breadth of the H door was 
ten cubits; and the sides of the door 
were five cubits on the one side, and 
five cubits on the other side : and he 
measured the length thereof, forty 
cubits : and the breadth, twenty cu- 
bits. 

3 Then went he inward, and mea- 
sured the post of the door, two cu- 
bits; and the door, six cubits: and 
the breadth of the door, seven cubits. 

4 So '^he measured the lengtli there- 
of, twent}' cubits; and the breadth, 
twenty cubits, before the temple : 
and he said unto me, This is the 
most \\o\x place. 

5 After, he measured the wall of the 
house, six cubits; and the breadth of 
et;c?T/ side-chamber, four cubits, round 
about the house on every side. 

6 ^ And the side-chambers were 
three, j one over another, and || thir- 
ty in order ; and they entered into 
the wall which icas of the house for 
the side-chambers round about, that 
they might t have hold, but they had 
not hold in the wall of the house. 

7 And -\'^ there was an enlarging, 
and a winding about still upward to 
the side-chambers : for the winding 
about of the house went still upward 
round about the house ; therefore the 
breadth of the house was still up- 
ward, and so increased from the low- 
est chamber to the highest by the 
midst. 

8 I saw also the height of the house 
round about: the foundations of the 
side-chambers were ''a full reed of 
six great cubits. 

9 The thickness of the wall, which 
was for the side-chamber without, 
was five cubits : and tliat which was 
left was the place of the side-cham- 
bers that were within. 

10 And between the chambers was 
the wideness of twenty cubits round 
about the house on every side. 

11 And the doors of the side-cham- 
bers were toward the place that was 
left, one door toward the north, and 
another door toward the south: and 
the breadth of the place that was left 
was five cubits round about. 

855 



The measui'cs, parts, chambers, 

12 Now the building that was be- 
fore the separate place at the end 
toward the west was seventy cubits 
broad ; and the wall of the building 
was five cubits thick round about, 
and the length thereof ninety cubits. 

13 So he measured the house, a 
hundred cubits long ; and the sepa- 
rate place, and the building, with the 
walls thereof, a hundred cubits long ; 

14 Also the breadth of the face of 
the house, and of the separate place 
toward the east, a hundred cubits. 

15 And he measured the length of 
the building over against the separate 
place which was behind it, and the 
II galleries thereof on the one side and 
on the other side, a hundred cubits, 
with the innertemple, and the porches 
of the court ; 

1 6 The door posts, and ^ the nar- 
row windows, and the galleries round 
about on their three stories, over 
against the door, f ceiled with wood 
round about, |[ and from the ground 
up to the windows, and the windows 
were covered ; 

17 To that above the door, even 
unto the inner house, and without, 
and by all the wall round about with- 
in and without by f measure. 

18 And it was made ^with cheru- 
bims and palm-trees, so that a palm- 
tree was between a cherub and a 
cherub ; and every cherub had two 
faces; 

1 9 s So that the face of a man was 
toward the palm-tree on the one side, 
and the face of a young lion toward 
the palm-tree on the other side : it 
ifjasmade through all the house round 
about. 

20 From the ground unto above the 
door were cherubims and palm-trees 
made, and on the wall of the temple. 

21 The f posts of the temple were 
squared, and the face of the sanctu- 
ary ; the appearance of the one as 
the appearance of the other. 

22 h The altar of wood was three 
cubits high, and the length thereof 
two cubits ; and the corners thereof, 
and the length thereof, and the walls 
thereof, were of wood : and he said 
unto me. This is • the table that is

3 Over against the twenty cubits

5 Now the upper chambers were 
shorter : for the galleries || were higher 
than these, ||than the lower, and than

6 For they were in three stories, buff 
had not pillars as the pillars of the

10 The chambers were in the thick- 
ness of the wall of the court toward 
the east, over against the separate 
place, and over against the building. 

11 And <=the way before them was 
like the appearance of the chambers 
which icere toward the north, as long 
as they, and as broad as they : and 
all their goings out wei-e both accord- 
ing to their fashions, and according 
to their doors. 

12 And according to the doors of 
the chambers that were toward the 
south was a door in the head of the 
wa.y,even the way directly before the 
wall toward the east, as one entereth 
into them. 

13 *IIThen said he unto me, The 
north chambers and the south cham- 
bers which are before the separate 
place, they be iioly chambers, where 
the priests that approach unto the 
Lord "^ shall eat the most holy things: 
there shall they lay the most holy 
things, and ^ the meat-offering, and 
the sin-offering, and the trespass-of- 
fering ; for the place is holy. 

14 'When the priests enter therein, 
then shall they not go out of the holy 
2)lace into the outer court, but there 
they shall lay their garments wherein 
they minister ; for they are holy; and 
shall put on other garments, and shall 
approach to those things which are 
for the people. 

15 Now when he had made an end 
of measuring the inner house, he 
brought me forth toward the gate 
whose prospect is toward the cast,

God's glory cometh into the temple. 
CHAP. XLHI. 

TTie returning of the glory of God into the tern 
pie. 7 The sin of Israel hindered GocV s pre- 
sence. 10 The prophet exhorteth them to re- 
pentance, and observation of the laic of the 
house. 13 The measures, IZ and the ordinances 
of the altar. 

AFTERWARD he brought me 
to the gate, even the gate ^that 
looketh toward the east : 

2 ''And behold, the glory of the 
God of Israel came from the way of 
the east : and <=his voice was like a 
noiseof many waters: '^and the earth 
shined with his glor}^ 

3 And it was ^ according to the ap- 
pearance of the vision which I saw, 
even according to the vision that I 
saw II when I came ''to destroy the 
city : and the visions were like the 
vision that I saw sby the river Che- 
bar ; and I fell upon my face. 

4 ''And the glory of the Lord came 
into the house by the way of the gate 
whose prospect is toward the east. 

5 ' So the spirit took me up, and 
brought me into the inner court ; 
and behold, i^the glory of the Lord 
filled the house. 

6 And I heard liim speaking unto 
me out of the house ; and ' the man 
stood by me. 

7 UAnd he said unto me. Son of 
man, "'the place of my throne, and 
"the place of the soles of my feet, 
° where I will dwell in the midst of 
the children of Israel for ever, and 
my holy name, shall the house of Is- 
rael Pno more defile, neither they, 
nor their kings, by their whoredom, 
nor bvi the carcasses of their kings 
in their high places. 

8 ■■ In their setting of their threshold 
by my thresholds, and their post by 
my posts, II and the wall between me 
and them, they have even defiled my 
holy name by their abominations that 
they have committed : wherefore I 
have consumed them in mine anger. 

9 Now, let them put away their 
whoredom, and Hhe carcasses of their 
kings, far from me, 'and I will dwell 
in the midst of them for ever. 

10 lIThou son of man, "shew the 
house to the house of Israel, that they 
may be ashamed of their iniquities : 
and let them measure the || pattern. 

11 And iftheybe ashamed of all that 
they have done, shew them the form 
of the house, and the fashion thereof, 

857 



The measures of the altar. 

and the goings out thereof, and the 
comings in thereof, and all the forms 
thereof^ and all the ordinances there- 
of, and all the forms thereof, and all 
the laws thereof: and write it in their 
sight, that they may keep the whole 
form thereof, and all the ordinances 
thereof, and do them. 

12 This is the law of the house ; 
Upon ^ the top of the mountain the 
whole limit thereof round about shall 
he most holy. Behold, this is the law 
of the house. 

13 TI And these are the measures of 
the altar after the cubits : y The cubit 
is a cubit and a hand-breadth ; even 
the I bottom shall he a cubit, and the 
breadth a cubit, and the border there- 
of by the f edge thereof round about 
shall he a span : and this shall he the 
higher place of the altar. 

14 And from the bottom upon the 
ground even to the lower settle shall 
be two cubits, and the breadth one 
cubit ; and from the lesser settle even 
to the greater settle shall be four cu- 
bits, and the breadth one cubit. 

15 So f the altar shall he four cu- 
bits ; and from f the altar and up- 
ward shall he four horns, 

16 And the altar shall he twelve 
cubits long, twelve broad, square in 
the four squares thereof. 

17 And the settle shall be fourteen 
cubits long and fourteen broad in the 
four squares thereof ; and the border 
about it shall be half a cubit ; and the 
bottom thereof shall be a cubit about ; 
and 2 his stairs shall look toward the 
east. 

18 IT And he said unto me. Son of 
man, thus saiththe Lord God; These 
are the ordinances of the altar in the 
day when they shall make it, to offer 
burnt-offerings thereon, and to ^ sprin- 
kle blood thereon. 

19 And thou shalt give to ^'the 
priests the Levites that be of the seed 
of Zadok, which approach unto me, 
to minister unto me, saith the Lord 
God, *= a young bullock for a sin-of- 
fering. 

20 And thou shalt take of the blood 
thereof, and put it on the four horns 
of it, and on the four corners of the 
settle, and upon the border round 
about : thus shalt thou cleanse and 
purge it.

they shall also prepare a young bul-

26 Seven days shall they purge the 
altar and purify it ; and they shall 
f consecrate themselves.

pired, it shall be, that upon the eighth

THEN he brought me back the 
way of the gate of the outward 
sanctuary ^^ which looketh toward the 
east; and it was shut. 

2 Then said the Lord unto me; 
This gate shall be shut, it shall not 
be opened, and no man shall enter in 
by it ; i^because the Lord the God 
of Israel hath entered in by it, there- 
fore it shall be shut. 

3 It is for the prince ; the prince, 
he shall sit in it to =eat bread before 
the Lord ; ''he shall enter by the way 
of the porch of that gate, and shall 
go out by the way of the same.

Idolaters incapable of the priest's office. 

5 And the Lord said unto me, s Son 
of man, f mark well, and behold with 
thine eyes, and hear with thine ears 
all that I say unto thee concerning 
all the ordinances of the house of 
the Lord, and all the laws thereof; 
and mark well the entering in of the 
house, with every going forth of the 
sanctuary. 

6 And thou shalt say to the ''rebel- 
lious, even to the house of Israel, 
Thus saith the Lord God ; O ye 
house of Israel, 'let it suffice you of 
all your abominations ; 

7 ''In that ye have brought into iny 
sanctuary f 'strangers, '"uncircum- 
cised in heart, and uncircumcised in 
flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pol- 
lute it, even my house, when ye offer 
"my bread, "the fat and the blood, 
and they have broken my covenant 
because of all your abominations. 

8 And ye have not Pkept the charge 
of my holy things : but ye have set 
keepers of my 1| charge in my sanc- 
tuary for yourselves. 

9 ^[ Thus saith the Lord God ; iNo 
stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor 
uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter 
into my sanctuary, of any stranger 
that is among the children of Israel. 

10 ""And the Levites that are gone 
away far from me, when Israel went 
astray, which went astray away from 
me after their idols ; they shall even 
bear their iniquity. 

11 Yet they shall be ministers in 
my sanctuaiy, */(«L'/7i£f charge at the 
gates of the house, and ministering 
to the house : ' they shall slay the 
burnt-oflering and the sacrifice for 
the people, and "they shall stand be- 
fore them to minister unto them. 

12 Because they ministered unto 
them before their idols, and "'t caus- 
ed the house of Israel to fall into 
iniquity ; therefore have I '^ lifted up 
my liand against them, saith the 
Lord God, and they shall bear their 
iniquity. 

13 >And they shall not come near 
unto me, to do the office of a priest 
unto me, nor to come near to any of 
my holy things, in the most holy 
place: but they shall ^bear their 
shame, and their abominations which 
they have committed.

Gob. 

16 All the people of the land f shall 
give this oblation || for the prince in

17 And it shall be the prince's part 
to give burnt-offerings, and meat-of- 
ferings, and drink-offerings, in the 
feasts, and in the new-moons, and in 
the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the 
house of Israel: he shall prepare the 
sin-offering, and the meat-offering, 
andthe burnt-offering,and the jjpeace- 
offerings, to make reconciliation for 
the house of Israel. 

18 Thus saith the Lord God; In 
the first montit, in the first day of the 
month, thou shalt take a young bul- 
lock without blemish, and i cleanse 
the sanctuary : 

19 ■■ And the priest shall take of the 
blood of the sin-offering, and put it 
upon the posts of the house, and up- 
on the four corners of the settle of 
the altar, and upon the posts of the 
gate of the inner court. 

20 And so thou shalt do the seventh 
day of the month "^for ever}' one that

so shall ye reconcile the house. 

21 'In tlie first month, in the four- 
teenthdayof the month, ye shall have

for the people. 16 An order for the prince's in- 
heritance. 19 The courts for boiling and baking: 

THUS saith the Lord God; The 
gate of the inner court that look- 
eth toward the east, shall be shut the 
six workingdays ; but on the sabbath 
it shall be opened, and in the day of 
the new-moon it shall be opened. 

2 a And the prince shall enter by 
the way of the porch of that gate 
without, and shall stand by the post 
of the gate, and the priests shall pre- 
pare his burnt-offering and his peace- 
offerings, and he shall worship at the 
tlireshold of the gate : then he shall go 
forth ; but the gate shall not be shut 
until the evening. 

3 Likewise the people of the land 
shall worship at the door of this gate 
before the Lord in the sabbaths and 
in the new-moons. 

4 And the burnt-offering that ''the 
prince shall offer unto the Lord in 
the sabbath day shall be six lambs 
without blemish, and a ram without 
blemish. 

5 <^And the meat-offering shall be 
an ephah for a ram, and the meat-of- 
fering for the lambs f as he shall be 
able to give, and a hin of oil to an 
ephah. 

6 And in the day of the new-moon 
it shall he a young bullock without 
blemish, and six lamb.';, and a ram : 
they shall be without blemish. 

7 And he shall prepare a meat-of- 
fering, an ephah for a bullock, and 
an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs 
according as his hand shall attain 
unto, and a hin of oil to an cpliah. 

8 ''And when the prince shall en- 
ter, he shall go in by the way of the 
porch of that gate, and he shall go 
forth by the way thereof. 

9 H But when the people of the land 
<= shall come before the Lord in the 
solemn feasts, he that entereth in by 
the way of the north gate to worship, 
shall go out by the way of the south 
gate ; and lie"^ that entereth by the 
way of the south gate, shall go forth 
by the way of the north gate : he 
shall not return by the way of the 
gate whereby he came in, but shall 
go forth over against it. 

861 



Ordinances for the people. 

10 And the prince in the midst of 
them, when they go in, shall go in ; 
and when they go forth, shall go 
forth. 

1 1 And in the feasts and in the so- 
lemnities f the meat-offering shall be 
an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah 
to a ram, and to the lambs as he is 
able to give, and a hin of oil to an 
ephah. 

12 Now, when the prince shall pre- 
pare a voluntary burnt-offering or 
peace-offerings voluntarily unto the 
Lord, Sone shall then open him the 
gate that looketh toward the east, 
and he shall prepare his burnt-offer- 
ing and his peace-offerings, as he did 
on the sabbath day: then he shall go 
forth ; and after his going forth one 
shall shut the gate. 

13 *^Thou shalt daily prepare a 
burnt-offering unto the Lord of a 
lamb f of the first year without ble- 
mish : thou shalt prepare it f every 
morning. 

14 And thou shalt prepare a meat- 
offering for it every morning, the 
sixth part of an ephah, and the third 
part of a hjn of oil, to temper with 
the fine fiour; a meat-offering con- 
tinually by a perpetual ordinance un- 
to the Lord. 

15 Thus shall they prepare the 
lamb, and the meat-offering, and the 
oil, every morning for a continual 
burnt-offering. 

IG HThus saith the Lord God ; If 
the prince give a gift unto any of his 
sons, the inheritance thereof shall be 
his sons' ; it shall he their possession 
by inheritance. 

17 But if he give a gift of his in- 
heritance to one of his servants, then 
it shall be his to 'the year of liberty; 
after, it shall return to the prince : 
but his inheritance shall be his sons' 
for them. 

18 Moreover, ''the prince shall not 
take of the people's inheritance by 
oppression, to thrust them out of 
their possession ; hut he shall give 
his sons inheritance out of his own 
possession : that my people be not 
scattered every man from his pos- 
session. 

19 TI After, he brought me through 
the entry, which loas at the side of 
the gate, into the holy chambers of

not out into the outer court, "to sanc-

21 Then he brought me forth into

and behold, f in every corner of the 
court there was a court. 

22 In the four corners of the court 
there were courts || joined of forty 
cuhits long and thirty broad : these 
four f corners were of one measure. 

23 And there was a row ofhuilding 
round about in them, round about 
them four, and it was made with 
boiling-places under the rows round 
about. 

24 Then said he unto me, These 
are the places of them that boil, 
where the ministers of the house 
shall °boil the sacrifice of the people.

out from under the threshold of the 
house eastward : for the forefront of 
the house stood toward the east, and 
the waters came down from under 
from the right side of the house, at

2 Then brought he me out of the

me about the w^ay without unto the 
outer gate by the way that looketh 
eastward ; and behold, there ran out 
waters on the right side. 

3 And when ^the man that had the

he measured a thousand cubits-, and 
he brought me through the waters ; 
the t waters were to the ankles.

that could not be passed over. 

6 K And he said unto me, Son of

brought me, and caused me to return 
to the brink of the river. 

7 Now, when I had returned, be- 
hold, at the f bank of the river were 
very many '^ trees on the one side 
and on the other. 

8 Then said he unto me. These wa- 
ters issue out toward the east coun- 
try, and go down into the || desert, 
and go into the sea: wfiicli being 
brought forth into the sea, the wa- 
ters shall be healed. 

9 And it shall come to pass, that

they shall be healed : and eveiy thing

10 And it shall come to pass, that 
the fishers shall stand upon it from

shall be a. place to spread forth nets; 
their fish sshall be according to their

11 But the miry places thereof and

IN the third year of the reign of 
Jehoiakim king of Judah " came 
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon un- 
to Jerusalem, and besieged it. 

2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim 
king of Judali into his hand, with 
*> part of the vessels of the house of 
God: which he carried"^ into the land 
of Sliinar to the house of his god; 
•land he brought the vessels into the 
treasure-house of his god. 

3 HAnd the king spake unto Ash- 
penaz the master of his eunuchs, that 
he should bring * certain oi ih.G chil- 
dren of Israel, and of the king's seed, 
and of the princes ; 

4 Children « in whom was no ble- 
mish, but well favoured, and skilful 
in all wisdom, and cunning in know- 
ledge, and understanding science, and 
such as had ability in them to stand 
in the king's palace, and fwhom they 
might teach tiie learning and the 
tongue of the Chaldeans. 

5 And the king appointed them a 
daily provision of the king's meat, 
and of t the wine which he drank: 
so nourishing them three years, that 
at the end thereof they might s stand 
before the king.

G Now, among these were of the 
children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, 
Mishael, and Azariah : 

7 '' Unto whom the prince of the 
eunuchs gave names: 'for he gave 
unto Daniel the name of Belteshaz- 
zar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; 
and to Mishael, of Meshach ; and to 
Azariah, of Abed-nego. 

8 TI But Daniel purposed in his 
heart that he would not defile him- 
self i^with the portion of the king's 
meat, nor with the wine which he 
drank : therefore, he requested of the 
prince of the eunuchs that he might 
not defile himself. 

9 Now ' God had brought Daniel 
into favour and tender love with the 
prince of the eunuclis. 

10 And the prince of the eunuchs 
said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the 
king, who hatii appointed your meat 
and your drink : for why should he 
see your faces f worse liking than 
the children which arc of your ||sort? 
then shall ye make me endanger my 
head to the king. 

11 Then said Daniel to || Melzar, 
whom the prince of the eunuchs had 
set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, 
and Azariah, 

12 Prove thy servants, I beseecji 
thee, ten days; and let them give us 
f pulse t to eat, and water to drink. 

865 



The wisdom of Daniel, ^c. 

13 Then let our countenances be 
looked upon before thee, and the 
countenance of the children that eat 
of the portion of the king's meat : 
and as thou seest, deal with thy ser- 
vants. 

14 So he consented to them in this 
matter, and proved them ten days. 

15 And at ti^e end of ten days their 
countenances appeared fairer and fat- 
ter in flesh than all the children which 
did eat the portion of the king's meat. 

16 Thus Melzar took away the por- 
tion of their meat, and the wine that 
they should drink ; and gave them 
pulse. 

17 *f[As for these four children, 
"God gave them "knowledge and 
skill in all learning and wisdom : 
and II Daniel had ° understanding in 
all visions and dreams. 

1 8 Now at the end of the days that 
the king had said he should bring 
them in, then the prince of the eu- 
nuchs brought them in before Nebu- 
chadnezzar. 

19 And the king communed with 
them : and among them all was found 
none like Daniel, Hananiah,Mishael, 
and Azariah : therefore, p stood they 
before the king. 

20 lAnd in all matters of f wisdom 
and understanding, that the king in- 
quired of them, he found them ten 
times better than all the magicians 
(ind astrologers that wej-e in all his 
realm. 

21 ""And Daniel continued even un- 
to the first year of king Cyrus.

Nebuchadnezzar forgetteth his dream, 

have dreamed a dream, and my spirit 
was troubled to know the dream. 

4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the 
king in Syriac, '^O king, live for 
ever : tell thy servants the dream, 
and we will shew the interpreta- 
tion, 

5 The king answered and said to the 
Chaldeans, The thing is gone from 
me : if ye will not make known unto 
me the dream, with the interpretation 
thereof, ye shall be ^fcut in pieces, 
and your houses shall be made a 
dunghill. 

6 f But if ye shew the dream, and 
the interpretation thereof, ye shall 
receive of me gifts and [[ rewards and 
great honour: therefore, shew me the 
dream, and the interpretation thereof. 

7 They answered again and said. 
Let the king tell his servants the 
dream, and we will shew the inter- 
pretation of it. 

8 The king answered and said, I 
know of certainty that ye would fgain 
the time, because ye see the thing is 
gone from me. 

9 But, if ye will not make known 
unto me the dream, s there is hut one 
decree for you : for ye have prepared 
lying and corrupt words to speak be- 
fore me, till the time be changed : 
therefore tell me the dream, and I 
shall know that ye can shew me the 
interpretation thereof. 

10 TI The Chaldeans answered be- 
fore the king, and said, There is not 
a man upon the earth that can shew 
the king's matter: therefore there is 
no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked 
such things at any magician, or as- 
trologer, or Chaldean. 

1 1 And it is a rare thing that the 
king requireth, and there is none 
otherthat can shewitbefore the king, 
h except the gods, whose dwelling is 
not with flesh. 

12 For this cause the king was 
angry and very furious, and com- 
manded to destroy all the wise men 
of Babylon. 

13 And the decree went forth that 
the wise men should be slain; and 
they sought Daniel and his fellows 
to be slain. 

14 ^Then Daniel f answered with 
counsel and wisdom to Arioch the 
II t captain of the king's guard, which 

866 



Daniel telleth the king's dream, 

was gone forth to slay the wise men 
of Babylon : 

15 He answered and said to Arioch 
the king's captain, Why is the decree 
so hast}' from the king ? Then Arioch 
made the thing known to Daniel. 

16 Then Daniel went in, and de- 
sired of the king that he would give 
him time, and that he would shew 
the king the interpretation. 

17 Then Daniel went to his house 
and made the thing known to Hana- 
niah, Mishael, and Azariah, his com- 
panions : 

18 'That they would desire mercies 
I of the God of heaven concerning 
this secret ; ||that Daniel and his fel- 
lows should not perish with the rest 
of the w ise men of Babylon. 

19 T[ Then was the secret revealed 
unto Daniel ''in anightvision. Then 
Daniel blessed the God of heaven 

20 Daniel answered and said, ' Bless- 
ed be the name of God for ever and 
ever : «• for wisdom and might are 
his: 

21 And he changeth the "times and 
the seasons; "he removeth kings. and 
setteth up kings ; Phe giveth wisdom 
unto tlie wise, and knowledge to 
them that know understanding : 

22 •) He revealeth the deep and se- 
cret things ; ''he knowetli what is in 
the darkness, and nhe light dwelletli 
with him. 

23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O 
thou God of my fathers, who hast 
givenme wisdom and might, and hast 
made known unto me now w hat we 
t desired of thee: for thou hast noir 
made known unto us the king's mat- 
ter. 

24 H Therefore, Daniel went in unto 
Arioch, whom the king had ordained 
to destroy the wise men of Babylon : 
he went and said thus unto him ; 
Destroy not the wise men of Baby- 
lon : bring me in before the king, 
and I will shew unto the king the 
interpretation. 

2.5 Then Arioch brought in Daniel 
before the king in haste, and said 
thus unto him, f I have found a man 
of the t captives of Judah, that will 
make known unto the king the in- 
terpretation. 

26 The king answered and said to 
Daniel, whose name teas Belteshaz

and the interpretation of it, 

zar, Ai't thou able to make known 
unto me the dream which I have 
seen, and the interpretation thereof? 

27 Daniel answered in the presence 
of the king, and said, The secret which 
the king hath demanded cannot the 
wise men, the astrologers, the magi- 
cians, the sooth-sayers, shew unto the 
king ; 

28 "But, there is a God in heaven 
that revealeth secrets, and f maketh 
know"n to the king Nebuchadnezzar 
^what shall be in the latter days. 
Thy dream, and the visions of thy 
head upon thy bed, are these ; 

29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts 
•j- came into thy mind upon thy bed, 
what should come to pass hereafter : 
y and he that revealeth secrets mak- 
eth known to tliee what shall come 
to pass. 

30 ^But as for me, this secret is 
not revealed to me for any wisdom 
that I have more than any living, 
II but for their sakes that shall make 
known the interpretation to the king, 
^ and that thou mightest know the 
thoughts of thy heart. 

31 TI Thou, O king, f sawest, and 
behold a great image. This great 
image, whose brightness was excel- 
lent, stood before thee ; and the fomi 
thereof icas temble. 

32 ''This image's head was of fine 
gold, his breast anuhis arms of silver, 
his belly and his || thighs of brass, 

33 His legs of iron, his feet part of 
iron and part of clav. 

34 Thou sawest till that a stone was 
cut out II "^without hands, which smote 
the image upon his feet that were of 
iron and clay,andbrakethem to pieces. 

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the 
brass,the silver, and the gold, broken 
to pieces together, and became ''like 
the chaff of the summer threshing 
floors ; and the wind carried them 
away, that «no place was found for 
them: and the stone that smote the 
image '"became a great mountain, 
ffand filled the wliole earth. 

36 H This is the dream ; and w^e will 
tell the interpretation thereof before 
the king. 

37 I'Thou, O king, art a king of 
kings : ' for the God of heaven hath 
given thee a kingdom, power, and 
strength, and glory. 

867 



The dream interpreted. 

38 i^And wheresoever the children 
of men dwell, the beasts of the field 
and the fowls of the heaven hath he 
given into thy hand, and hath made 
thee ruler over them all. ' Thou art 
this head of gold. 

39 And after thee shall arise "> an- 
other Kingdom "^ inferior to thee, and 
another third kingdom of brass, which 
shall bear rale over all the eardi. 

40 And P the fourth kingdom shall 
be strong as iron : forasmuch as iron 
breaketh in pieces and subdueth all 
things: and as iron that breaketh all 
these, shall it break in pieces and 
bruise. 

41 And whereas thou sawest ithe 
feet and toes, part of potters' clay, 
and pa.rt of iron, the kingdom shall 
be divided ; but there shall be in it 
of the strength of the iron, foras- 
much as thou sawest the iron mixed 
with miry clay. 

42 And as the toes of the feet were 
part of iron, and part of clay, so the 
kingdom shall be partly strong, and 
partly 1| broken. 

43 And whereas thou sawest iron 
mixed with miry clay, they shall min- 
gle themselves with the seed of men : 
but they shall not cleave f one to an- 
other, even as iron is not mixed with 
clay. 

44 And in f the days of these kings 
>■ shall the God of heaven set up a 
kingdom, ^ which shall never be de- 
stroyed: and the f kingdom shall 
not be left to other people, ^hut it 
shall break in pieces and consume 
all these kingdoms, and it shall stand 
for ever. 

45 " Forasmuch as thou sawest that 
the stone was cut out of the moun- 
tain II without hands, and that it brake 
in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, 
the silver, and the gold ; the great 
God hath made jknown to the king 
what shall come to pass f hereafter: 
and the dream is certain, and the 
interpretation thereof sure. 

46 If X Then the king Nebuchadnez- 
zar fell upon his face, and worship- 
ped Daniel, and commanded that they 
should offer an oblation Jand sweet 
odours unto him. 

47 The king answered unto Daniel, 
and said. Of a truth it is, that your 
God is a God of gods, and a Lord of

48 Then the king made Daniel a 
great man, "^ and gave him many 
great gifts, and made him ruler over 
the whole province of Babylon, and 
''chief of the governors over all the 
wise men of Babylon. 

49 Then Daniel requested of the 
king, •= and he setShadracb,Meshach, 
and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the 
province of Babylon: but Daniel "^sa^ 
in the gate of the king. 

CHAP. IIL 

1 Nebuchadnezzar (hdicateth a golden image in 
Dura. SShadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego are 
accused for not worshipping the image. 13 They^ 
being threatened., make a good confession. 19 
God delivereth them out ofthefurnace. 26 Nebu- 
chadnezzar seeing the miracle blesseth God. 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR the king 
made an image of gold, vvhose 
height VMS threescore cubits, and the 
breadth thereof six cubits: he set it 
up in the plain of Dura, in the pro- 
vince of Babylon. 

2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king 
sent to gather together the' princes, 
the governors, and the captains, the 
judges, the treasurers, the counsel- 
lors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of 
the provinces, to come to the dedica- 
tion of the image which Nebuchad- 
nezzar the king had set up. 

3 Then the princes, the governors, 
and captains, the judges, the trea- 
surers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, 
and all the rulers of the provinces, 
were gathered together unto the de- 
dication of the image that Nebuchad- 
nezzar the king had set up ; and they 
stood before the image that Nebu- 
chadnezzar had set up. 

4 Then a herald cried f aloud. To 
you f it is commanded, ^ O people, 
nations, and languages, 

5 That at what time ye hear the 
sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sack- 
but, psaltery, || f dulcimer, and all 
kinds of music, ye fall down and 
worship the golden image that Ne- 
buchadnezzar the king hath set up. 

6 And whoso falleth not down and 
worshippeth shall the same hour ''be 
cast into the midst of a burning fiery 
furnace, 

7 Therefore, at that time, when all 
the people heard the sound of the 
cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery 
and all kinds of music, all the peo 

868 



Shadrach, Meshach, and Ahed-nego 

pie, the nations, and the languages, 
fell down one? worshipped the golden 
image that Nebuchadnezzar the king 
had set up. 

8 ^ Wherefore at that time certain 
Chaldeans "^came near, and accused 
the Jews. 

9 They spake and said to the king 
Nebuchadnezzar, ''O king, live for 
ever. 

10 Thou, O king, hast made a de- 
cree, that ever)' man that shall hear 
the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, 
sackbut, psalter}^ and dulcimer, and 
all kinds of music, shall fall down 
and worship the golden image : 

1 1 And who.so falleth not down and 
worshippeth, that he should be cast 
into the midst of a burning fiery fur- 
nace. 

12 ^ There are certain Jews whom 
thou hast set over the affairs of the 
province of Babylon, Shadrach, ]Me- 
shach, and Abed-nego; these men,0 
king, f have not regarded thee : they 
sers'e not thy gods, nor worship the 
golden image which thou hast set 
up. 

13 TIThen Nebuchadnezzar in his 
rage and fuiy commanded to bring 
Shadrach, Meshach. and Abed-nego. 
Then they brought these men before

unto them. Is it |(triie, O Shadrach, 
Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not ye 
serve my gods, nor worship the gold- 
en image which I have set up? 

15 Now if ye be ready that at what 
time ye hear the sound of the cornet, 
flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dul- 
cimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall 
down and worship the image which 
I have made : ^well: but it ye wor- 
ship not, ye shall be cast the same 
hour into the midst of a burning fiery 
furnace ; ?and who is that God that 
shall deliver you out of my hands ? 

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- 
nego, answered and said to the king, 
O Nebuchadnezzar, ^ we are not care- 
ful to answer thee in this matter. 

17 If it be so, our God whom we 
serve is able to deliver us from the 
burning fiery furnace, and he will de- 
liver us out of thy hand, O king. 

18 But if not, be it known unto 
thee, O king, that we will not serve

image which thou hast set up. 

19 TiThenwasNebuchadnezzarffulI 
of fuiy, and the form of his visage was 
changed against Shadrach, Meshach, 
and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, 
and commanded that they should heat 
the furnace one seven times more 
than it was wont to be heated. 

20 And he commanded the jmost 
mighty men that were in his array to 
bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- 
nego, and to cast them into the burn- 
ing fiery furnace. 

21 Then these men were bound in 
their || coats, their hosen, and their 
II hats, and their other garments, and. 
were cast into the midst of the burn- 
ing fien.' furnace. 

22 Therefore because the king's 
f commandment was urgent, and the 
fiimace exceeding hot, the || flame of 
the fire slew those men that took up 
Shadrach, INIeshach, and Abed-nego. 

23 And these three men, Sliadrach, 
Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down 
bound into the midst of the burning 
fiery furnace. 

24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king 
was astonished, and rose up in haste, 
and spake, and said unto his || coun- 
sellors, Did not we cast three men 
bound into the midst of the fire ? 
They answered and said unto the 
king. True, O king. 

25 He answered and said, Lo, I 
see four men loose, ^^ walking in the 
midst of the fire, and f they have no 
hurt : and the form of the fourth is 
like 'the Son of God. 

26 If Then Nebuchadnezzar came 
near to the f mouth of the burning 
fierj- furnace, and spake, and said, 
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, 
ye servants of the most high God, 
come forth, and come hither. Then 
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, 
came forth of the midst of the fire. 

27 And the princes, governors, and 
captains, and the king's counsellors, 
being gathered together, saw these 
men, "^upon whose bodies the fire 
had no power, nor was a hair of their 
head singed, neither were their coats 
changed, nor the smell of fire had 
passed on them. 

28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, 
and said. Blessed he the God of Sha-

hath sent his angel, and delivered his 
servants that "trusted in him, and 
have changed the king's word, and 
yielded their bodies, that they might 
not sei-ve nor worship any god, ex- 
cept their own God. 

29°Therefore,tImakeadecree,That 
every people, nation, and language, 
which speak f anything amiss against 
the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and

hill : 1 because there is no other god 
that can deliver after this sort. 

30 Then the king t promoted Sha- 
drach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in 
the province of Babylon.

in my house, and flourishing in my 
palace :

afraid, ^and the thoughts upon my

me, that they might make known unto 
me the interpretation of the dream. 

7 sThen came in the magicians, the 
astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the 
sooth-sayers : and I told the dream 
before them ; but they did not make 
known unto me the interpretation 
thereof.

before me, ^ whose name was Belte-

9 O Belteshazzar, '^' master of the 
magicians, because I know that the 
spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and 
no secret troubleth thee, tell me the 
visions of my dream that I have seeU; 
and the interpretation thereof. 

10 Thus icere the visions of my 
head in my bed ; f I saw, and be- 
hold 1 a tree in the midst of the 
earth, and the height thereof was 
great. 

1 1 The tree grew, and was strong, 
and the height thereof reached unto 
heaven, and the sight thereof to the 
end of all the earth: 

12 The leaves thereof jrere fair, and 
the fruit thereof much, and in it was 
meat for all : "the beasts of the field 
had shadow under it, and the fowls of 
the heaven dwelt in the boughs there- 
of, and all flesh was fed of it. 

13 1 saw in the visions of my head 
upon my bed, and behold," a watchev 
and ° a holy one came down from 
heaven ; 

14 He cried f aloud, and said thus, 
PHew down the tree, and cut off' his 
branches, shake off" his leaves, and 
scatter his fruit : qlet the beasts get 
away from under it, and the fowls 
from his branches. 

15 Nevertheless, leave the stump of 
his roots in the earth, even with a 
band of iron and brass, in the tender 
grass of the field ; and let it be wet 
with the dew of heaven, and let his 
portion 6ewith the beasts in the grass 
of the earth. 

16 Let his heart be changed from 
man's, and let a beast's heart be given 
unto him; and let seven ■■ times pass 
over him. 

17 This matter is by the decree of 
the watchers, and the demand by the 
word of the holy ones : to the intent 
sthat the living may know Hhat the 
Most High ruleth in the kingdom of 
men, and giveth it to whomsoever he 
will, and setteth up over it the basest 
of men. 

18 This dream I king Nebuchad- 
nezzar have seen. Now thou, O Bel- 
teshazzar, declare the interpretation 
thereof, "forasmuch as all the wise 
ynen of my kingdom are not able to 
make known unto me the interpre- 
tation : but thou art able ; ^ for the 
spirit of the holy gods is in thee. 

870 



I 



dream, interpreieth it. 

19 TFThen Daniel, >' whose name 
was Beheshazzar, -was astonied for 
one hour, and his thoughts troubled 
him. The king spake, and said, Bel- 
teshazzar, let not the dream, or the 
interpretation thereof, trouble thee. 
Beheshazzar answered, and said. My 
lord, zthe dream he to them that hate 
thee, and the interpretation thereof 
to thine enemies. 

20 ^The tree that thou sawest, which 
grew, and was strong, whose height 
reached unto the heaven, and the 
sight thereof to all the earth ; 

21 Whose leaves were fair, and the 
fruit thereof much, and in it it-as meat 
for all ; under which the beasts of the 
field dwelt, and upon whose branches 
the fowls of the heaven had their ha- 
bitation : 

22 bit is thou, O king, that art 
grown and become strong : for thy 
greatness is grown, and reacheth un- 
to heaven, <=and thy dominion to the 
end of the earth. 

23 ''And whereas the king saw a 
watcher and a holy one coming dovsii 
from heaven, and saying, Hew the 
tree down, and destroy it ; yet leave 
the stump of the roots thereof in the 
earth, even with a band of iron and 
brass, in the tender grass of the field ; 
and let it be wet with the dew of hea- 
ven, eand kl his portion be with the 
beasts of the field, till seven times 
pass over him ; 

24 This /s the interpretation, O king, 
and this is the decree of the Most 
High, which is come upon my lord 
the king : 

25 That they shall ''drive thee from 
men, and thy dwelling shall be with 
the beasts of the field, and they shall 
make thee eto eat grass as oxen, and 
they shall wet thee with the dew of 
heaven, and seven times shall pass 
over thee, ^till thou know that the 
Most High ruleth in the kingdom of 
men, and 'giveth it to whomsoever 
he will. 

26 And whereas they commanded 
to leave the stump of the tree roots ; 
thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, 
after that thou shalt have known that 
the •< heavens do rule. 

27 Wherefore, O king, let my coun- 
sel be acceptable unto thee,and 'break 
off thy sins by righteousness, and

The dream fulfilled. 

thine iniquities by shewing mercy to 
the poor ; "^if it may be |1 ^^a length- 
ening of thy tranquillity. 

28 If All this came upon the king 
Nebuchadnezzar. 

29 At the end of twelve months he 
walked || in the palace of the kingdom 
of Babylon. 

30 The king ° spake, and said. Is 
not this great Babylon, that I have 
built for the house of the kingdom 
by the might of my power, and for 
the honour of my majesty? 

31 pAVhile the word was in the 
king's mouth, there fell n a voice from 
heaven, saying, O king Nebuchad- 
nezzar, to thee it is spoken ; The 
kingdom is departed from thee : 

32 And fthey shall drive thee from 
men, and thy dwelling shall he with 
the beasts of the field : they shall 
make thee to eat grass as oxen, and 
seven times shall pass over thee, un- 
til thou know that the jNIost High 
ruleth in the kingdom of men, and 
giveth it to whomsoever he will. 

33 The same hour was the thing 
fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar : and 
he was driven from men, and did eat 
grass as oxen, and his body was wet 
with the dew of heaven, till his hairs 
were grown like eagles' feathers, and 
his nails like birds' claws. 

34 And ^at the end of the days I 
Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes 
unto heaven, and mine understanding 
returned unto me, and I blessed the 
Most High, and I praised and ho- 
noured him 'that liveth for ever, 
whose dominion is "an everlasting 
dominion, and his kingdom is from 
generation to generation : 

35 And ^all the inhabitants of the 
earth are reputed as nothing : and 
.^he doeth according to his will in 
the army of heaven, and among the 
inhabitants of the earth: and ^none 
can stay his hand, or say unto him, 
a What doest thou? 

30 At the same time my reason re- 
turned unto me : ^and for the glory 
of my kingdom, mine honour and 
brightness returned unto me ; and 
my counsellors and my lords sought 
unto me ; and I was established in 
my kingdom, and excellent majesty 
was <■ added unto me. 

37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise

I BelsJmzzar's impious/east. 5 A handwriting, 
unknouii to the tnagicians, troubleth the king. 
W At the commendalion of the queen Daniel is 
brought. 17 He, reproving the king of pride 
and idolatry, 25 readeth and interpreteth the 
writing. 30 The monarchy is translated to the 
Medes. 

BELSHAZZAR the king a made 
a great feast to a thousand of 
his lords, and drank wine before the 
thousand. 

2 Belshazzar, while he tasted the 
wine, commanded to bring the golden 
and silver vessels ''which his || father 
Nebuchadnezzar had f taken out of 
the temple which was in Jerusalem ; 
that the king, and his princes, his 
wives, and his concubines, might 
drink therein. 

3 Then they brought the golden 
vessels that were taken out of the 
temple of the house of God which 
was at Jerusalem ; and the king, and 
his princes, his wives, and his con- 
cubines, drank in them. 

4 They drank wine, <=and praised 
the gods of gold, and of silver, of 
brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. 

5 Tl'iln the same hour came forth 
fingers of a man's hand, and wrote 
over against the candlestick upon 
the plaster of the wall of the king's 
palace : and the king saw the part of 
the hand that wrote. 

6 Then the king's f countenance 
•[■ was changed, and his thoughts trou- 
bled him, so that the |[ f joints of his 
loins were loosed, and his ^ knees 
smote one against another. 

7 fThe king cried f aloud to bring 
in ethe astrologers, the Chaldeans, 
and the sooth-sayers. And the king 
sp&ke and said to the wise men of 
Babylon, Whosoever shall read this 
writing, and shew me the interpre- 
tation thereof, shall be clothed with 

II scarlet, and have a chain of gold 
about his neck, ^and shall be the 
third ruler in the kingdom. 

8 Then came in all the king's wise 
men : 'but they could not read the

10 ^iYoiTjthe queen by reason of 
the words of the king and his lords 
came into the banquet-house ; and 
the queen spake and said, ' O king, 
live for ever : let not thy thoughts 
trouble thee, nor let thy countenance 
be changed : 

11 ""There is a man in thy king- 
dom, in whom is the spirit of the 
holy gods ; and in the days of thy 
y father light and understanding and 
wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, 
was found in him ; whom the king Ne- 
buchadnezzar thy y father, the king, 

I say, thy father, made "master of 
the magicians, astrologers, Chalde- 
ans, and sooth-sayers : 

12 "Forasmuch as an excellent 
spirit, and knowledge, and under- 
standing, II interpreting of dreams, 
and shewing of hard sentences, and 

II dissolving of | doubts, were found 
in the same Daniel, Pwhom the king 
named Belteshazzar : now let Daniel 
be called, and he will shew the inter- 
pretation. 

13 Then was Daniel brought in be- 
fore the king. And the king spake 
and said unto Daniel, Art thou that 
Daniel, which art of the children of 
the captivity of Judah, whom the king 
my II father brought out of Jewry 1 

14 I have even heard of thee, that 
ithe spirit of the gods is in thee, and 
that light and understanding and ex- 
cellent wisdom is found in thee. 

15 And now 'the wise men, the as-

shalt be clothed with scarlet, and

18 O tliou king, 'the most high 
God gave Nebuchadnezzar tiiy fa- 
ther a kingdom, and majestj^, and 
glor}% and honour: 

19 And for the majesty that lie 
gave him, "all people, nations, and 
languages, trembled and feared be- 
fore him: whom he would he slew; 
and whom he would he kept alive ; 
and whom he would he set up ; and 
whom he would he put down. 

20 ^ But when his heart was lifted 
up, and his mind hardened || in pride, 
he was f deposed from his kingly 
throne, and they took his glory from 
him : 

21 And he was >' driven from the 
sons of men ; and |j his heart was 
made like the beasts, and his dwell- 
ing was with the wild asses: they 
fed him witli grass like oxen, and 
his body was wet with the dew of 
heaven; ^till he knew that the most 
high God ruled in the kingdom of 
men, and tliat lie appointeth over it 
whomsoever he will. 

22 And thou his son, O Belshaz- 
zar, " hast not humbled thy heart, 
though thou knewest all this ; 

23 ''But hast lifted up thyself against 
the Lord of heaven ; and they have 
brought the vessels of his house be- 
fore thee, and thou, and thy lords, 
thy wives and thy concubines, have 
drunk wine in them; and thou iiast 
praised the gods of silver, and gold, 
of brass, iron, wood, and stone, 
<= which see not, nor hear, nor know: 
and the God in whose hand thy 
breath is, ''and whose are all thy 
ways, hast thou not glorified. 

24 Then was the part of tlie hand 
sent from him ; and tiiis writing was 
written. 

25 H And tliis is the writing that 
was written, JNIENE, MENE, TE- 
KEL, UPHARSIN. 

26 This IS the interpretation of the 
thing : MENE ; God hath number- 
ed thy kingdom, and finished it. 

27TEKEL; « Thou art weighed in 
the balances, and art found wanting. 

28 PERES ; Thy kingdom is di- 
vided, and given to the ''Medes and 
s Persians.

and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, 
and [mt a chain of gold about his 
neck, and made a proclamation con- 
cerning him, ^ that he should be the 
third ruler in the kingdom. 

30 Tl'In that night was Belshazzar 
the king of the Chaldeans slain. 

31 i^And Darius the Median took 
the kingdom, f being \\ about thi-ee- 
score and two years old.

24 fJis adversaries devoured, 25 and God mag-

T pleased Dai-ius to set ^over the 
kingdom a hundred and twenty 
princes, which should be over the 
whole kingdom; 

2 And over these three presidents ; 
of whom Daniel was fii'st: that the 
princes might give accounts unto 
them, and the king should have no 
damage. 

3 Then this Daniel was preferred 
above the presidents and princes, 
''because an excellent spirit wasm 
him ; and the king thought to set 
him over the whole realm. 

4 II <= Then die presidents and princes 
sought to find occasion against Da- 
niel concerning the kingdom ; but 
they could find none occasion nor 
fault ; forasmuch as he was faithful, 
neither Avas there any error or fault 
found in him. 

5 Then said these men. We shall 
not find any occasion against this 
Daniel, except we find 77 against him 
concerning the law of his God. 

6 Then these presidents and princes 

II assembled together to the king, and 
said thus unto him, ''King Darius, 
live for ever. 

7 All die presidents of the king- 
dom, the governors, and the princes, 
the counsellors, and the captains, 
have consulted together to establish 
a royal statute, and to make a firm 
II decree, that whosoever shall ask a 
petition of any God or man for thir- 
ty days, save of thee, O king, he 
shall be cast into the den of lions. 

8 Now, O king, establish the de- 
cree, and sign the writing, that it be 
not changed, according to the '^law 
of the Medes and Persians, which 
t altereth not. 

873 



Daniel is cast into the lions' den. 

9 Wherefore king Darius signed the 
writing and the decree. 

10 TI Now when Daniel knew that 
the writing was signed, he went into 
his house ; and his windows being 
open in his chamber ^ toward Jeru- 
salem, he kneeled upon his knees 
&three times a day, and prayed, and 
gave thanks before his God, as he 
did aforetime. 

1 1 Then these men assembled, and 
found Daniel praying and making 
supplication before his God. 

12 h Then they came near, and spake 
before the king concerning the king's 
decree; Hast thou not signed a de- 
cree, that every man that shall ask 
a petition of any God or man within 
thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall 
be cast into the den of lions? The king 
answered and said. The thing zs true, 
' according to the law of the Medes 
and Persians, which altereth not. 

13 Then answered they and said 
before the king. That Daniel, i^ which 
is of the children of the captivity of 
Judah, 'regardeth not thee,0 king, nor 
the decree that thou hast signed, but 
maketh his petition three times a day. 

14 Then the king, when he heard 
these words, "> was sore displeased 
with himself, and set his heart on 
Daniel to deliver him : and he la- 
boured till the going down of the 
sun to deliver him. 

15 Then these men assembled unto 
the king, and said unto the king, 
Know, O king, that "the law of the 
Medes and Persians is, That no de^ 
cree nor statute which the king esta 
blisheth may be changed. 

16 Then the king commanded, and 
they brought Daniel, and cast him 
into the den of lions. Now the king 
spake and said unto Daniel, Thy 
God whom thou servest continually 
he will deliver thee. 

17 ° And a stone was brought, and 
laid upon the mouth of the den 
Pand the king sealed it with his own 
signet, and with the signet of his 
lords ; that the purpose might not 
be changed concerning Daniel. 

18 "HThen the king went to his pa 
lace, and passed the night fasting 
neither were || instruments of music 
brought before him : q and his sleep 
went from him. 



DANIEL. The kingfindeth him miraculously saved. 

19 Then the king arose very early 
m the morning, and went in haste 
unto the den of lions. 

20 And when he came to the den, 
he cried with a lamentable voice un- 
to Daniel : and the king spake and 
said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of 
the living God, ''is thy God, whom 
thou servest continually, able to de- 
liver thee from the lions? 

21 Then said Daniel unto the king, 
' O king, live for ever. 

22 ' My God hath sent his angel, 
and hath " shut the lions' mouths, 
that they have not hurt me : foras- 
much as before him innocency was 
found in me ; and also before thee, 

king, have I done no hurt. 

23 Then was the king exceeding 
glad for him, and commanded that 
they should take Daniel up out of 
the den. So Daniel was taken up 
out of the den, and no manner of 
hurt was found upon him, ^ because 
he believed in his God. 

24 ^ And the king commanded, y and 
they brought those men which had 
accused Daniel, and they cast them 
into the den of lions, them, ^ their 
children, and their wives ; and the 
lions had the mastery of them, and 
brake all their bones in pieces or ever 
they came at the bottom of the den. 

25 TI^Then king Darius wrote un- 
to all people, nations, and languages, 
that dwell in all the earth ; Peace be 
multiplied unto you. 

26 b I make a decree, That in every 
dominion of my kingdom men '^trem- 
ble and fear before the God of Da- 
niel : ^ for he is the living God, and 
steadfast for ever, and his kingdom 
that which shall not be <= destroyed, 
and his dominion shall he even unto 
the end. 

27 He delivereth and rescueth,fand 
he worketh signs and wonders in hea- 
ven and in earth, who hath delivered 
Daniel from the f power of the lions. 

28 So this Daniel prospered in the 
reign of Darius, sand in the reign of 
h Cyrus the Persian.

IN the first year of Belshazzar king 
of Babylon, ^ Daniel f had a dream 
and b visions of his head upon his 

874 



Daniel's vision of the foui- beasts. 

bed : then he wrote the dream, and 
told the sum of the || matters. 

2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in 
my vision by night, and behold, the 
four winds of the heaven strove up- 
on the great sea. 

3 And four great beasts =came up 
from the sea, diverse one from an- 
other. 

4 The first was ^ like a lion, and 
had eagle's wings ; I beheld till the 
wings thereof were plucked, || and it 
was lifted up from the earth, and 
made stand upon the feet as a man, 
and a man's heart was given to it. 

5 <=And behold another beast, a se- 
cond, like to a bear, and || it raised up 
itself on one side, and it had three 
ribs in the mouth of it between the 
teeth of it: and they said tiius unto 
it. Arise, devour much flesh. 

6 After this, I beheld, and lo, an- 
other, like a leopard, which had up- 
on the back of it four wings of a 
fowl ; the beast had also '^four heads ; 
and dominion was given to it. 

7 After this I saw in the night vi- 
sions, and behold e a fourth beast, 
dreadful and terrible, and strong ex- 
ceedingly ; and it had great iron 
teeth : it devoured and brake in 
pieces, and stamped the residue with 
the feet of it : and it was diverse 
from all the beasts that were before 
it ; ''and it had ten horns. 

8 I considered the horns, and be- 
hold, 'there came up among them an- 
other little horn, before wiiom there 
were three of the first horns plucked 
up by the roots: and behold, in this 
horn ivere eyes like the eyes *= of man, 
'and a moutii speaking great things. 

9 "[f">I beheld til! the thrones were 
cast down, and "the Ancient of days 
did sit, ° whose garment was white 
as snow, and the hair of his head like 
the pure wool : his throne was like 
the fiery flame, Pand his wheels as 
burning fire. 

10 4 A fiery stream issued and came 
forth from before him : >■ thousand 
thousands ministered unto him, and 
ten thousand times ten thousand 
stood before him : » the judgment 
was set, and the books were open- 
ed. 

11 I beheld then because of the 
voice of the great words which the

horn spake: 'I beheld even till the 
beast was slain, and his body destroy- 
ed, and given to the burning flame. 

12 As concerning the rest of the 
beasts, they had their dominion taken 
away : yet f their lives were prolong- 
ed for a season and time. 

13 I saw in the night visions, and 
behold, "one like the Son of man 
came with the clouds of heaven, and 
came to -^the Ancient of days, and 
they brought him near before him. 

14 >'And there was given him domi- 
nion, and glory, and a kingdom, that 
all ^ people, nations, and languages, 
should serve him : his dominion is 
^ an everlasting dominion, which shall 
not pass away, and his kingdom, that 
which shall not be destroyed. 

15 TI I Daniel ''was grieved in my 
spirit in the midst of mij f body, and 
the visions of mj' head troubled me. 

16 1 came near unto one of them 
that stood by, and asked him the 
truth of all this. So he told me, and 
made me know the interpretation of 
the things. 

17 <= These great beasts, which are 
four, are four kings, ivhich shall arise 
out of the earth. 

18 But ''the saints of the fMost 
High shall take the kingdom, and 
possess the kingdom for ever, even 
for ever and ever. 

19 Then I would know the truth 
of eflie fourth beast, which was di- 
verse jfrom all the others, exceeding 
dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, 
and his nails of brass; ivhich devour- 
ed, brake in pieces, and stamped the 
residue with his feet; 

20 And of the ten horns that wej-e 
in his head, and of the other which 
came up, and before Avhoin three 
fell ; even of that horn that had eyes, 
and a mouth that spake very great 
things, whose look was more stout 
than his fellows. 

21 I beheld, 'and the same horn 
made war with the saints, and pre- 
vailed against them ; 

22 g Until the Ancient of days 
came, ''and judgment was given to 
the saints of the IMost High ; and 
the time came that the saints pos- 
sessed the kingdom. 

23 Thus he said. The fourth beast 
shall be ' the fourth kingdom upon 

875 



Daniel's vision of 

earth, which shall be diverse from 
all kingdoms, and shall devour the 
whole earth, and shall tread it down, 
and break it in pieces. 

24 ''^And the ten horns out of this 
kingdom m-e ten kings that shall 
arise : and another shall rise after 
them ; and he shall be diverse from 
the first, and he shall subdue three 
kings. 

25 'And he shall speak ^re«< words 
against the Most Higli, and shall 
"iwear out the saints of the Most 
High, and ^^ think to change times 
and laws : and ° they shall be given 
into his hand Puntil a time and times 
and the dividing of time. 

26 qBut the judgment shall sit, and 
they shall take away his dominion to 
consume and to destroy it unto the 
end. 

27 And the ■■ kingdom and domi- 
nion, and the greatness of the king- 
dom under the whole heaven, shall be 
given to the people of the saints of 
the Most High, ^ whose kingdom is 
an everlasting kingdom,* and all || do- 
minions shall serve and obey him. 

28 Hitherto is the end of the mat- 
ter. As for me Daniel, "my cogi- 
tations much troubled me, and my 
countenance changed in me : but I 
*kept the matter in my heart.

the ram, and he was moved with cho- 
ler against him, and smote the ram, 
and brake his two horns : and there 
was no power in the ram to stand 
before him, but he cast him down to 
the ground, and stamped upon him : 
and there was none that could deli- 
ver the ram out of his hand, 

8 Therefore, the he-goat waxed very 
great : and when he was strong, the 
great horn was broken ; and for it, 
came up ^four notable ones toward 
the four winds of heaven. 

9 f And out of one of them came 
forth a little horn, which waxed ex- 
ceeding great, ? toward the south, 
and toward the east, and toward the 
''pleasant land. 

10 'And it waxed great, even ||to 
■^the host of heaven; and Mt cast 
down some, of the host and of the 
stars to the ground, and stamped upon 
them. 

1 1 Yea, ""he magnified himself even 
II to " the prince of the host, ° and 
II by him Pthe daily sacrifice was 
taken away, and the place of his 
sanctuary was cast down. 

12 And fi||a host was given him 
against the daily sacrifice by reason 
of transgression, and it cast down 
nhe truth to the ground ; and it 
'practised, and prospered. 

1 3 TI Then I heard " one saint speak- 
ing, and another saint said unto || f that" 
certain saint which spake, How long 
shallhe the vision concerning the daily 
sacrifice, and the transgression || of de- 
solation, to give both the sanctuary 
and the host to be trodden underfoot? 

14 And he said unto me. Unto two 
thousand and three hundred fdays ; 
then shall the sanctuary be f cleans- 
ed. 

15 lIAnd it came to pass, when I. 

876 



The vision interpreted. 

even I Daniel, had seen the vision, 
and y sought for the meaning, then 
behold, there stood before me ^ as the 
appearance of a man. 

] 6 And I heard a man's voice ^ be- 
tween the banks of Ulai, which call- 
ed, and said, '^Gabriel, make this man 
to undej-stand the vision. 

17 So he came near where I stood: 
and when he came, I was afraid, and 
•^fell upon my face : but he said unto 
me. Understand, O son of man : for 
at tlie time of the end shall be the 
vision. 

18 '*Now as he was speaking with 
me, I was in a deep sleep on my face 
toward the ground : ^ but he touched 
me, and f set me upright. 

19 And he said. Behold, I will make 
thee know what shall be in the last 
end of the indignation : 'Tor at the 
time appointed the end shall be. 

20 fe'The ram which thou sawest 
having two horns are the kings of 
Media and Persia. 

21 i" And the rough goat is the king 
of Grccia : and the great horn that is 
between his eyes 'is the first king. 

22 ''Now that being broken, where- 
as four stood up for it, four kingdoms 
shall stand up out of the nation, but 
not in his power. 

23 And in the latter time of their 
kingdom, when the transgressors 
fare come to the full, a king '"of 
fierce countenance, and understand- 
ing dark sentences, "shall stand up. 

24 And his power shall be mighty, 
°but not by his own power: and he 
shall destroy wonderfully, p and shall 
prosper, and practise, land shall de- 
stroy the mighty and the fholy people. 

25 And f through his policy also he 
shall cause craft to prosper in his 
hand; »and he shall magnify himself 
in his heart, and by || peace shall de- 
stroy many: "he shall also stand up 
against the Prince of princes; but he 
shall be '■ broken without liand. 

26 yAnd the vision of the evening 
and the morning which was told is 
true: ^^ wherefore shut thou up the 
vision ; for it shall he. for many days. 

27 a And I Daniel fainted, and was 
sick certain days; afterward I rose 
up, band did the king's business; 
and I was astonished at the vision, 
•■ but none understood it.

DanieVs confession and prayer. 
CHAP. IX. 

1 Daniel, considering the time of ike captivity, 3 
ma/ceth confesnion of sins, 16 and pratjeth for 
the restoration of Jerusnlem. liO Gabriel in- 
formeih him of iiie sectniy weeks. 

N the first year ^^ of Darius the son 
of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the 
Medes, || which was made king over 
the realm of the Chaldeans ; 

2 In the first year of his reign I Da- 
niel understood by books the num- 
ber of the years, whereof the word 
of the Lord came to i^ Jeremiah the 
prophet, that he w'ould accomplish 
seventy years in the desolations of 
Jerusalem. 

3 TI<=And I set my face unto the 
Lord God, to seek by prayer and 
supplications, with fasting, and sack- 
cloth, and ashes: 

4 And I prayed unto the Lord my 
God, and made my confession, and 
said, O tiLord, the great and dread- 
ful God, keeping the covenant and 
mercy to them that love him, and to 
them that keep his commandments ; 

5 <= We have sinned, and have com- 
mitted iniquity, and have done wick- 
edly, and have i-ebclled, even by de- 
parting from thy precepts and from 
tliy judgments : 

G '"Neither have we hearkened un- 
to thy servants the prophets, which 
spake in thy name to our kings, our 
princes, and our fathers, and to all 
the people of the land. 

7 O Lord, g righteousness \\helong- 
eth unto thee, but unto us confusion 
of faces, as at this day; to the men 
of Judah, and to the inhabitants of 
Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that 
are near, and that are far ofi", through 
all the countries whither thou hast 
driven them, because of their tres- 
pass that they have trespassed against 
thee. 

8 O Lord, to us belongeth ^ con- 
fusion of face, to our kings, to our 
princes, and to our fathers, because 
we have sinned against thee. 

9 ' To the Lord our God belong 
mercies and forgivenesses, though 
we have rebelled against him ; 

10 ''Neither have we obeyed the 
voice of the Lord our God, to walk 
in his laws, which he set before us 
by his servants the prophets. 

1 1 Yea, ' all Israel have transgress- 
ed thv law, even by departing, that 

877 



Daniel's confession and prayer. 

they might not obey thy voice ; there- 
fore the curse is poured upon us, and 
the oath that is written in the "' law 
of Moses the servant of God, because 
we have sinned against him. 

12 And he hath « confirmed his 
words, which he spake against us, 
and against our judges that judged 
us, by bringing upon us a great evil : 
°for under the whole heaven hath 
not been done as hath been done up- 
on Jerusalem. 

13 pAs it is written in the \kw of 
Moses, all this evil is come upon us : 
lyet fmade we not our prayer be- 
fore the Lord our God, that we 
might turn from our iniquities, and 
understand thy truth. 

14 Therefore hath the Lord ""watch- 
ed upon the evil, and brought it upon 
us: sfor the Lord our God is righte- 
ous in all his works which he doeth : 
•^for we obeyed not his voice. 

1 5 And now, O Lord our God, " that 
hast brought thy people forth out of 
the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, 
and hast f gotten thee ^ renown, as 
at this day ; y we have sinned, we 
have done wickedly. 

16 TI O Lord, z according to all thy 
righteousness, I beseech thee, let 
thine anger and thy fury be turned 
away from thy city Jerusalem, '"■thy 
holy mountain : because for our sins, 
band for the iniquities of our fathers, 
•^Jerusalem and thy people '^are be- 
come areproachto aWthat are about us 

17 Now therefore, O our God, hear 
the prayer of thy servant, and his 
supplications, «and cause thy face 
to shine upon thy sanctuary *"that is 
desolate, & for the Lord's sake. 

18 '' O my God, incline thine ear, 
and hear ; open thine eyes, ' and be 
hold our desolations, and the city 
^ t which is called by thy name : for 
we do not f present our supplications 
before thee for our righteousnesses, 
but for thy great mercies. 

19 Lord, hear ; O Lord, forgive ; 
O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, 
' for thine own sake, O my God : for 
thy city and thy people are called by 
thy name.

and praying, and confessing my sin, 
and the sin of my people Israel, and

prayer, even the man " Gabriel, whom 

I had seen in the vision at the begin- 
ning, being caused to fly f swiftly, 
° touched me P about the time of the 
evening oblation.

forth, and q I am come to shew thee ;

1 Daniel haring humbled himself seefh a vision. 
10 Being troubled with fear he is comforted by 
the angel. 

878 



Daniel seelh a glorious vision. 

IN the third year of Cyrus king of 
Persia a thing was revealed unto 
Daniel, =^ whose name was called Bel- 
teshazzar ; ^ and the thing was true, 
•^but the time appointed was f long : 
and ^ he understood the thing, and 
had understanding of the vision. 

2 In those days I Daniel was mourn- 
ing three f full weeks. 

3 I ate no f pleasant bread, neither 
came flesh nor wine in my mouth, 
« neither did I anoint myself at all, 
till three whole weeks were fulfilled. 

4 And in the four and twentieth day 
of the first month, as I was by the 
side of the great river, which is 'Hid- 
dekel ; 

5 Then ? I lifted up mine eyes, and 
looked, and ^ behold f a certain man 
clothed in linen, whose loins were 
•girded with ^fine gold of Uphaz : 

G His body also was 'like the beryl, 
and his face ""as the appearance of 
lightning, "and his eyes as lamps of 
fire, and his arms " and his feet like 
in colour to polished brass, Pand the 
voice of his words like the voice of a 
multitude. 

7 And 1 Daniel i alone saw the 
vision : for the men that w'ere with 
me saw not the vision ; but a great 
quaking fell upon them, so that they 
lied to hide themselves. 

8 Therefore I was left alone, and 
saw this great vision, "^and there re- 
mained no strengtii in me : for mv 
II "comeliness was turned in me into 
corruption, and I retained no strength. 

i) Yet heard I the voice of his words: 
•and when I heanl the voice of his 
words, then was I in a deep sleep 
on my face, and my face toward the 
ground. 

10 1["And behold, a hand touch- 
ed me, which t set me upon my knees 
and vpon the palms of my hands, 

1 1 And he said unto me, O Daniel, 
''faman greatly beloved, understand 
the w ords that I speak unto thee, and 
t stand upright : for unto thee am I 
now sent. And when he had spoken 
this word unto me, I stood trembling. 

12 Then said he unto me, >Fear 
not, Daniel : for from the first day 
that thou didst set thy heart to un- 
derstand, and to chasten thyself be- 
fore thy God, 'thy words were heard, 
and I am come for thy words.

An angel comforteth him. 

13 ^But the prince of the kingdom 
of Persia withstood me one and twen- 
ty days : but lo, i^ Michael, || one of 
the chief princes, came to help me ; 
and I remained there with the kings 
of Persia. 

14 Now I am come to make thee 
understand what shall befall thy peo- 
ple '^in the latter days : ''for yet the 
vision is for many days. 

15 And when he had spoken such 
words unto me, e I set my face toward 
the ground, and I became dumb. 

16 And behold, ^o7ie like the simi- 
litude of the sons of men s touched 
my lips : then I opened my mouth, 
and spake, and said unto him that 
stood before me, O my lord, by the 
vision 'i my sorrows are turned upon 
me, and I have retained no strength. 

17 For how can ]| the ser^-ant of this 
my lord talk with this my lord I for 
as for me, straightway there remain- 
ed no strength in me, neither is there 
breath left in me. 

18 Then there came again and 
touched me one like the appearance 
of a man, and he strengthened me, 

19 'And said, O man greatly be- 
loved, ''fear not : peace be unto thee, 
be strong, yea, be strong. And 
when he had spoken imto me, I was 
strengthened, and said. Let my lord 
speak ; for thou hast strengthened 
me. 

20 Then said he, Knowcst thou 
wherefore I come unto thee ? and 
now will I return to fight 'with the 
prince of Persia : and when I am 
gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia 
shall come. 

21 But I will shew thee that which 
is noted in the scripture of truth : 
and there is none tiiat f holdeth with 
me in these diings, '"but Michael 
your prince.

ALSO I, -^ in the first year of ^ Da- 
rius the Mede, even I, stood to 
confirm and to strengthen him. 

2 And noAV will I shew thee the 
truth. Behold, there shall stand up 
yet three kings in Persia : and the 
fourth shall be far richer than they 
all : and by his strength through his 
879 



Leagues and conflicts 

riches, he shall stir up all against the 
realm of Grecia. 

3 And ca mighty king shall stand 
up, that shall rule with great domi- 
nion, and i^do according to his will. 

4 And when he shall stand up, ^his 
kingdom shall be broken, and shall 
be divided toward the four winds of 
heaven ; and not to his posteritj', ^nor 
according to his dominion which he 
ruled: for his kingdom shall be pluck- 
ed up, even for others besides those. 

5 ^ And the king of the south shall 
be strong, and one of his princes ; 
and he shall be strong above him, 
and have dominion ; his dominion 
shall be a great dominion. 

6 And in the end of years they 
•j- shall join themselves together ; for 
the king's daughter of the south shall 
come to the king of the north to make 
f an agreement : but she shall not re- 
tain the power of the arm ; neither 
shall he stand, nor his arm : but she 
shall begivenup, and they that brought 
her, and || he that begat her, and he 
that strengthened her in these times. 

7 But out of a branch of her roots 
shall one stand up || in his estate, 
which shall come with an army, and 
shall enter into the fortress of the 
king of the north, and shall deal 
against them, and shall prevail : 

8 And shall also carry captives into 
Egypt their gods, with their princes, 
and with f their pi-ecious vessels of 
silver and of gold ; and he shall con- 
tinue more years than the king of the 
north. 

9 So the king of the south shall 
come into his kingdom, and shall re- 
turn into his own land. 

10 But his sons || shall be stirred 
up, and shall assemble a multitude 
of great forces : and one shall cer- 
tainly come. Sand overflow, and pass 
through : || then shall he return, and 
be stirred up, ^even to his fortress. 

1 1 And the king of the south shall 
be moved with choler, and shall come 
forth and fight with him, even with 
the king of the north : and he shall 
set forth a great multitude ; but the 
multitude shall be given into his 
hand. 

12 And when he hath taken away

between the kings of the

strengthened by it. 

13 For the king of the north shall 
return, and shall set forth a multitude 
greater than the former, and shall cer- 
tainly come f after certain years with 
a great army and with much riches. 

14 And in those times there shall 
many stand up against the king of 
the south : also f the robbers of thy 
people shall exalt themselves to esta- 
blish the vision ; but they shall fall 

15 So the king of the north shah 
come, and cast up a mount, and take 
f the most fenced cities : and the arms 
of the south shall not withstand, nei- 
ther f his chosen people, neither shall 
there be any strength to withstand. 

16 But he that cometh against him 
'shall do according to his own will, 
and knone shall stand before him : 
and he shall stand in the || f glorious 
land, which by his hand shall be con- 
sumed. 

17 He shall also ^set his face to en- 
ter with the strength of his whole 
kingdom, and || upright ones with 
him ; thus shall he do : and he shall 
give him the daughter of women, 
f corrupting her : but she shall not 
stand on his side, '"neither be for 
him. 

18 After this shall he turn his face 
unto the isles, and shall take many : 
but a prince f for his own behalf shall 
cause f the reproach offered by him 
to cease ; without his own reproach 
he shall cause it to turn upon him. 

19 Then he shall turn his face to- 
ward the fort of his own land: but 
he shall stumble and fall, "and not 
be found. 

20 Then shall stand up || in his es- 
tate f a raiser of taxes in the glory of 
the kingdom : but within few days 
he shall be destroyed, neither in f an- 
ger, nor in battle. 

21 And II in his estate "shall stand 
up a vile person, to whom theyshall 
not give the honour of the kingdom : 
but he shall come in peaceably, and 
obtain the kingdom by flatteries. 

22 PAnd with the arms of a flood 
shall they be overflown from before 
him, and shall be broken ; nyea, also 
die prince of the covenant. 

23 And after the league made with 
him ""he shall work deceitfully : for 

880 



outh and the north. 

he shall come up, and shall become 
strong with a small people. 

24 He shall enter || peaceably even 
upon the fattest places of the pro- 
vince ; and he shall do that which his 
fathers have not done, nor his fathers' 
fathers ; he shall scatter among them 
the prey, and spoil, and riches : yea, 
and he shall f forecast his devices 
against the strong holds, even for a 
time. 

25 And he shall stir up his power 
and his courage against the king of 
the south with a great army ; and 
the king of the south shall be stir- 
red up to battle with a very great 
and mighty army ; but he shall not 
stand: for they shall forecast devices 
against him. 

26 Yea, they that feed of the por- 
tion of his meat shall destroy iiim, 
and his army shall 'overflow: and 
many shall fall down slain. 

27 And both these kings' t hearts 
shall be to do mischief, and they 
shall speak lies at one table ; but it 
shall not prosper : for "yet the end 
shall he at the time appointed. 

28 Then shall he return into his 
land with great riches ; and y his 
heart shall be against the holy cove- 
nant ; and he shall do exploits, and 
return to his own land. 

29 At the time appointed he shall 
return, and come toward the south; 
^but it shall not be as the former, 
^or as the latter. 

30 11 *> For the ships of Chittim shall 
come against him: therefore he shall 
be grieved, and return, and have in- 
dignation <= against the holy covenant : 
so shall he do; he shall even retiu-n, 
and have intelligence with them that 
forsake the holy covenant. 

31 And arms shall stand on his part,

daily sacrifice, and they shall place

An impious tyranny set up 

by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, 
many days. 

34 Now when they shall fall, they 
shall be holpen with a little help : 
but many shall cleave to them with 
flatteries. 

35 And some of them of under- 
standing shall fall, "to tiy || them, 
and to purge, and to make themwhite, 
°even to the time of the end: p be- 
cause it is yet for a time appointed. 

36 And the king i shall do accord- 
ing to his will ; and he shall ■■ exalt 
himself, and magnify himself above 
every god, and shall speak marvellous 
things ^against the God of gods, and 
shall prosper 'till the indignation be 
accomplished : for that that is deter- 
mined shall be done. 

37 Neither shall he regard the God 
of his fathers, "nor the desire of wo- 
men, ^ nor regard any god : for he 
shall magnify himself above all. 

38 11 But fin his estate shall he ho- 
nour the god of II t forces: and a god 
whom his fathers knew not shall he 
honour with gold, and silver, and 
with precious stones, and f pleasant 
things. 

39 Thus shall he do in the f most 
strong holds with a strange god, 
whom he shall acknowledge and in- 
crease with glory: and he shall cause 
them to rule over many, and shall 
divide the land for tg^in- 

40 y And at the time of the end shall 
the king of the south push at him : 
and the king of the north shall come 
against liini ^ like a whirlwind, with 
chariots, '^ and with horsemen, and 
with many ships ; and he shall enter 
into the countries, ''and shall over- 
flow and pass over. 

41 He shall enter also into the ||t glo- 
rious land, and many countries shall 
be overthrown : but these shall es- 
cape out of his hand, '^even Edom, 
and Moab, and the chief of the chil- 
dren of Amnion. 

42 He shall f stretch forth his hand 
also upon the countries : and the land 
of Egj'pt shall not escape. 

43 But he shall have power over 
the treasures of gold and of silver, 
and over all the precious things of 
Egypt : and the Libyans and the 
Ethiopians shall be ^at his steps. 

44 But tidings out of the east and 

881 



TJie general resurrection. 

out of the north shall trouble him : 
therefore he shall go forthwith great 
fury to destroy, and utterly to make 
away many. 

45 And he shall plant the taber- 
nacles of his palace between the 
seas in ^the ||f glorious holy moun- 
tain : f yet he shall come to his end, 
and none shall help him.

1 Michael shall deliver Israel from their troubles. 
5 Daniel is informed of the times. 

ND at that time shall "• Michael 
stand up, the great prince which 
standeth for the children of thy peo- 
ple : ''and there shall be a time of 
trouble, such as never was since there 
was a nation even to that same time : 
and at that time thy people '^ shall 
be delivered, every one that shall be 
found "J written in the book. 

2 And many of them that sleep in

«some to everlasting life, and some 
to shame ^and everlasting contempt. 

3 And sthey that be || wise, shall 
''shine as the brightness of the fir- 
mament ; i and they that turn many 
to righteousness, k as the stars forever 
and ever. 

4 'But thou, O Daniel, ™shut up the

8 For she did not "know that "I

12 And I will f destroy her vines 
and her fig-trees, t whereof she hath

make them a forest, and the beasts 
of the field shall cat them. 

13 And I will visit upon her the

\By the expiation of an adulteress, 4 is shewed the 
desolation of Israel before their restoration. 

THEN said the Lord unto me, 
^ Go yet, love a woman beloved 
of her ^friend, yet an adulteress, ac- 
cording to the love of the Lord to- 
ward the children of Israel, who look 
to other gods, and love flagons f of

: 2 So I bought her to me for fifteen 
pieces of silver, and for a homer of 
barley, and a f half homer of barley : 

3 And I said unto her. Thou shalt 
•= abide for me many days ; thou shalt 
not play the harlot, and thou shalt 
not be for another man: so will I 
also he for thee. 

4 For the children of Israel shall 
abide many days ^ without a king, 
and withont a prince, and without 
a sacrifice, and without f an image, 
and without an ^ephod, and without 
^teraphim:

God's judgments against the sins of 

hath a ^^ controversy with the inhabit- 
ants of the land, because there is no 
truth, nor mercy, nor i* knowledge of 
God in the land. 

2 By swearing, and lying, and kill- 
ing, and stealing, and committing 
adultery, they break out, and -j- blood 
toucheth blood. 

3 Therefore, <= shall the land mourn, 
and ^ every one that dwelleth therein 
shall languish, with the beasts of the 
field, and with the fowls of heaven ; 
yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be 
taken away. 

4 Yet let no man strive, nor repi'ove 
another : for thy people are as they 
^that strive with the priest. 

5 Therefore, shalt thou fall <" in the 
day, and the prophet also shall fall 
with thee in the night, and I will 
f destroy thy mother. 

6 Tl g My people are f destroyed for 
lack of knowledge : because thou 
hast rejected knowledge, I will also 
reject thee, that thou shalt be no 
priest to me : seeing thou hast for- 
gotten the law of thy God, I will also 
forget thy children. 

7 ii As they were increased, so they 
sinned against me : ' therefore will I 
change their glory into shame. 

8 They eat up the sin of my people, 
and they f set their heart on their 
iniquity. 

9 And there shall be, ^like people, 
like priest : and I will f punish them 
for their ways, and f reward them 
their doings. 

10 For 'they shall eat, and not have 
enough: they shall commit whore- 
dom, and shall not increase : because 
they have left oft' to take heed to the 
Lord. 

1 1 Whoredom and wine and new 
wine '"take away the heart. 

12 TI My people ask counsel at their 
"stocks, and their staff" declareth unto 
them : for "the spirit of whoredoms 
hath caused them to err, and they 
have gone a whoring from under 
their God. 

13 P They sacrifice upon the tops of 
the mountains, and burn incense up- 
on the hills, under oaks and poplars 
and elms, because the shadow there- 
of is good : 1 therefore your daugh- 
ters shall commit whoredom, and 
your spouses shall commit adulterv, 

884 



the people, the priests, and the princes. 

14 III will not punish your daugh- 
ters when they commit whoredom, 
nor your spouses when they commit 
adulter}': for themselves are separa- 
ted with whores, and they sacrifice 
with harlots : therefore the people 
that "^ doth not understand shall ||fall. 

15 "[[Though thou, Israel, play the 
harlot, 3/edet not Judah offend; ^and 
come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go 
ye up to ^Beth-aven, nnor swear, The 
Lord Hveth. 

1 6 For Israel ^ slideth back as a back- 
sliding heifer : now the Lord will feed 
them as a lamb in a large place. 

17 Ephraim is joined to idols : ylet 
him alone. 

18 Their drink f is sour : they have 
committed whoredom continually: 
^her f rulers with shame do love, 
Give ye. 

19 ^The wind hath bound her up 
in her wings, and ''they shall be a- 
shamed because of their sacrifices. 

CHAP. V. 

1 God^tjudgmeitU against the priests, the people, 
and the princes of Israel, for their manifold 
sins, 15 until they repent. 

HEAR ye this, O priests ; and 
hearken, ye house of Israel ; 
and give ye ear, O house of the king; 
for judgment is toward you, because 
aye have been a snare on Mizpah, 
and a net spread upon Tabor. 

2 And the revolters are ''profound 
to make slaughter, || though I have 
been farebuker of them all. 

3 "^I know Ephraim, and Israel is 
not hid from me: fornow,0 Ephraim, 
<* thou committest whoredom, and Is- 
rael is defiled. 

4 til They will not frame their do- 
ings to turn unto their God : for '•the 
spirit of whoredoms is in the midst 
of them, and they have not known 
the Lord. 

5 And hhe pride of Israel doth tes- 
tify to his face : therefore shall Israel 
and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; 
Judah also shall fall with them. 

6 g They shall go with their flocks 
andwiththeirherdstoseekthe Lord; 
but they shall not find him ; he hath 
withdrawn himself from them. 

7 They have ii dealt treacherously 
against the Lord : for they have be- 
gotten strange children: now shall 
' a month devour them with their por- 
tions.

8 kBlow ye the co^et in Gibe ah, 
and the trumpet in Ramah : ' cry 
aloud at "Beth-aven, ° after thee, O 
Benjamin. 

9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the 
day of rebuke : among the tribes ot 
Israel have I made known that which 
shall surely be. 

10 The princes of Judah were like 
them that ° remove the bound: there- 
fore I will pour out my wrath upon 
them like water. 

11 Ephraim is P oppressed and bro- 
ken in judgment, because he willing- 
ly walked after <5the commandment. 

12 Therefore icilll ieunto Ephraim 
as a moth, and to the house of Judah 
■■as II rottenness. 

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, 
and Judah saw his « wound, then went 
Ephraim *to the Assyrian, "and sent 
II to king Jareb : yet could he not heal 
you, nor cure you of yom- wound. 

14 For ^I icill be unto Ephraim as 
a lion, and as a young lion to the 
house of Judah : > I, even I, will tear 
and go away ; I will take away, and 
none shall rescue him. 

15 "[II will go and return to my 
place, ftill ^they acknowledge their 
offence, and seek my face : ^ in their 
affliction they will seek me early. 

CHAP. VI. 

I An exhortation to repentance. 4 A complaint 
of their untoicardness and iniquity. 

COME, and let us return unto 
the Lord: for "he hath torn, 
and ''he will heal us; he hath smit- 
ten, and he will bind us up. 

2 <= After two days will he revive 
us : in the third day he will raise us 
up, and we shall live in his sight. 

3 t* Then shall we know, if we fol- 
low on to know the Lord: his going 
forth is prepared <^as the morning; 
and '"he shall come unto us &as the 
rain, as the latter and former rain 
unto the earth. 

4l''0 Epiu-aim, what shall I do 
unto thee? O Judah, what shall I 
do unto thee ? for your || goodness 
is 'as a morning cloud, and as the 
early dew it goeth away. 

5 Therefore have I hewed them ''by 
the prophets ; I have slain them by 
'the words of my mouth : ||and thy 
judgments are as the light that goeth 
forth. 

885 



Israel reproved for manifold sins. 

6 For I desired " mercy, and "not 
sacrifice; and the "knowledge of God 
more than burnt-offerings. 

7 But they ||hke men Phave trans- 
gressed the covenant : there qhave 
they dealt treacherously against me. 

8 rQilead is a city of them that work 
iniquity, and is || polluted with blood. 

9 And as troops of robbers wait for 
a man, so nhe company of priests 
murder in the way f by consent : for 
they commit || lewdness. 

10 I have seen ta horrible thing 
in the house of Israel: there is "the 
whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is de- 
filed. 

11 Also, O Judah, ^he hath set a 
harvest for thee, ywhen I returned 
the captivity of my people. 

CHAP. VII. 

1 A reproof of manifold sins. 11 God''s wraih 
against them for their hypocrisy. 

WHEN I would have healed 
Israel, then the iniquity of 
Ephraim was discovered, and the 
-[•wickedness of Samaria : for ^^Ihey 
commit falsehood : and the thief 
Cometh in, and the troop of robbers 
t spoileth without. 

2 And they -j- consider not in their 
hearts, that I ^remember all their 
wickedness : now *= their own doings 
have beset them about ; they are 
•^before my face. 

3 They make the king glad with their 
wickedness, and the princes ^with 
their lies. 

4 f They are all adulterers, as an 
oven heated by the baker, || who ceas- 
eth II from raising after he hath knead- 
ed the dough, until it be leavened. 

5 In the day of our king the princes 
have made him sick || with bottles of 
wine ; he stretched out his hand with 
scomers. 

6 For they have || made ready their 
heart like an oven, while they lie in 
wait: their baker sleepeth all the 
night ; in the morning it burneth as 
a flaming fire. 

7 They are all hot as an oven, and 
have devoured their judges ; s all their 
kings •> are fallen : ' there is none a- 
mong them that calleth unto me : 

8 Ephraim, he ^hath mixed him-

God's wrath against their hypocrisy, 

strength, and he knoweth it not : 
yea, gray hairs are f here and there 
upon him, yet he knoweth not. 

10 And the ™ pride of Israel testi- 
fieth to his face : and "they do not 
return to the Lord their God, nor 
seek him for all this. 

11 "i[ "Ephraim also is like a silly 
dove without heart : Pthey call to E- 
gypt, they go to Assyria. 

1 2 When they shall go,q I will spread 
my net upon them ; I will bring them 
down as the fowls of the heaven ; I 
will chastise them, ''as their congre- 
gation hath heard. 

1 3 Wo unto them ! for they have 
fled from me : f destruction unto 
them ! because they have transgress- 
ed against me : though ^ I have re- 
deemed them, yet they have spoken 
hes against me. 

14 tAnd they have not cried unto 
me with their heart, when they howl- 
ed upon their beds : they assemble 
themselves for corn and wine, and 
they rebel against me. 

15 Though I II have bound and 
strengthened their arms, yet do they 
imagine mischief against me. 

16 "They return, hut not to the 
Most High: ^they are like a deceit- 
ful bow : their princes shall fall by the 
sword for the yrage of their tongue : 
this shall he their derision ^in the 
land of Egypt. 

CHAP. VIIL 

1, 12 Destruction is threatened for tlieir impiety, 
5 and idolatry. 

^ET Hhe trumpet to f thy mouth. 
^ He shall come ^ as an eagle against 
the house of the Lord, because*^ they 
have transgressed my covenant, and 
trespassed against my law. 

2 ''Israel shall ciy unto me, My 
God, 6 we know thee. 

3 Israel hath cast off" the thing that 
is good : the enemy shall pursue him. 

4 f They have set up kings, but not 
by me : they have made princes, and 
I knew it not : &of their silver ana 
their gold have they made them idols, 
that they may be cut off". 

5 HThy calf, O Samaria, hath cast 
thee off; mine anger is kindled a- 
gainst them : ''how long will it be 
ere they attain to innocency ? 

6 For from Israel was it also : the 
workman made it ; therefore it is not

be broken in pieces. 

7 For 'they have sown the wind, 
and they shall reap the whirlwind : 
it hath no || stalk : the bud shall 
jaeld no meal : if so be it yield, ''the 
strangers shall swallow it up. 

8 'Israel is swallowed up : now shall 
they be among the Gentiles ""as a 
vessel wherein is no pleasure. 

9 For ° they are gone up to Assyria, 
° a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim 
Phath hired f lovers. 

10 Yea, though they have hired 
among the nations, now <)will I ga- 
ther them, and they shall || sorrow || a 
little for the burden of ""the king of 
princes. 

11 Because Ephraim hath made 
"many altars to sin, altars shall be 
unto him to sin. 

12 I have written to him Uhe great 
things of my law, 6m< they were count- 
ed as a strange thing. 

13 " II They sacrifice flesh for the 
sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat 
it; ^but the Lord accepteth them 
not; y now will he remember their 
iniquity, and visit their sins: ''-they 
shall return to Eg}pt. 

14 •'For Israel hath forgotten "^his 
Maker, and '^buildeth temples; and 
Judah hath multiplied fenced cities : 
but ''I will send a fire upon his cities, 
and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

5 What will ye do in n^the solemn

Lord? 

6 For lo, they are gone because of 
f destruction : "^Egj'pt shall gather 
them up, Memphis shall bury them : 
II t the pleasant jo/aces for their silver, 
° nettles shall possess them : thorns 
shall be in their tabernacles. 

7 The days of visitation are come, 
the days of recompence are come ; 
Israel shall know it : the prophet is a 
fool, f Pthe spiritual man is mad, for 
the multitude of thine iniquity, and 
the great hatred. 

8 The qwatchman of Ephraim 
was with my God : but the prophet 
is a snare of a fowler in all his 
ways, and hatred || in tlie house of 
his God. 

9 ■'They have deeply corrupted ^//ew- 
selves, as in the da3's of ^Gibeah: 
^therefore he will remember their ini- 
quity, he will visit their sins. 

10 I found Israel like grapes in the 
wilderness ; I saw your fathers as " the 
first ripe in the fig-tree ^at her first 
time : but they went to yfiaal-peor, 
and z separated themselves ^unto that 
shame ; ''andiZ/e/r abominations were 
according as they loved. 

1 1 As for Ephraim, their glory shall 
fly away like a bird, from the birth, 
and from the womb, and from the 
conception. 

12 <: Though they bring up their 
children, yet ''will I bereave them, 
that there shall not he a man left : 
yea, ^wo also to them when I ^de- 
part from them ! 

13 Ephraim, eas I saw Tjtus, is 
planted in a pleasant place : '^but 
Ephraim shall bring forth his chil- 
dren to the murderer. 

14 Give them, O Lord : what wilt 
thou give? give them 'a f miscarry- 
ing womb and drf breasts. 

15 All their wickedne?5 "u in Gil- 
gal : for there I hated them : 'for the 
wickedness of their doings I will drive 
them out of my house, I will love 
them no more : '"all their princes are 
revolters. 

16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is 
dried up, they shall bear no fruit: 
yea, "though 'they bring forth, yet 
will I slay even f the beloved/rM?< of 
their womb.

Israel's impiety and idolatry.

CHAP. X. 

Israel is reproved and threatened for their im- 
piety and idolatry. 

ISRAEL is a II an empty vine, he 
bringeth forth fruit unto himself: 
according to the multitude of his fruit 
*>he hath increased the altars; accord- 
ing to the goodness of his land <=they 
have made goodly f images. 

2 II Their heart is "^ divided; now 
shall they be found faulty : he shall 
f break down their ahars, he shall 
spoil their images. 

3 ^For now they shall say. We have 
no king, because we feared not the 
Lord ; what then should a king do 
to us? 

4 They have spoken words, swear- 
ing falsely in making a covenant : 
thus judgment springeth up ^as hem- 
lock in the furrows of the field. 

5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall 
fear because of ethe calves of i^Beth- 
aven : for the people thereof shall 
mourn over it, and || the priests there- 
of that rejoiced on it, ^for the glory 
thereof, because it is departed from 
it. 

6 It shall be also carried unto As- 
syria, fo?- a present to ^king Jareb: 
Ephraim shall receive shame, and 
Israel shall be ashamed 'of his own 
counsel. 

7 '^ As for Samaria, her king is cut 
off as the foam upon f the water. 

8 "The high places also of Aven, 
°the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed : 
Pthe thorn and the thistle shall come 
up on their altars ; q and they shall 
say to the mountains. Cover us ; and 
to the hills, Fall on us. 

9 rO Israel, thou hast sinned from 
the days of Gibeah : there they stood : 
Bthe battle in Gibeah against the 
children of iniquity did not overtake 
them. 

10 t/if is in my desire that I should 
chastise them ; and " the people shall 
be gathered against them, ||when 
they shall bind themselves in their 
two furrows. 

11 And Ephraim is as ^a. heifer 
that is taught, andloxeih to tread out

2 As they called them, so they went 
from them : ^they sacrificed unto 
Baalim, and burned incense to graven 
images. 

3 <^I taught Ephraim also to go, 
taking them by their arms ; but they 
knew not that ^I healed them.

3 H He took his brotlier «by the heel

fhad power with God : 

4 Yea, he had power over the an-

God from the land of Egj'pt ° will yet 
make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as 
in the days of the solemn feasts. 

10 P I have also spoken by the pro- 
phets, and I have multiplied visions, 
and used similitudes, f by the minis- 
try of the prophets. 

11 4/s there iniquity in Gilead ? 
surely they are vanity : they sacrifice 
bullocks in "^Gilgal; yea, « their al- 
tars are as heaps in the furrows of 
the fields. 

12 And Jacob tfled into the coun- 
try' of Syria, and Israel "served for a 
wife, and for a wife he kept sheep. 

13 ^And by a prophet the Lord 
brought Israel out of Eg}'pt, and by 
a prophet was he preserved. 

14 yEphraim provoked him to an- 
ger t most bitterly : therefore shall 
he leave his f blood upon him, ^and 
his ^ reproach shall his Lord return 
unto him.

WHEN Ephraim spake trem- 
bling, he exalted himself in 
Israel ; but ^ when he oftended in 
Baal, he died. 

2 And now f they sin more and 
more, and ''have made them molten 
images of their silver, and idols ac- 
cording to their own understanding, 
all of it the work of the craftsmen : 
they say of them. Let || the men that 
sacrifice ''kiss the calves. 

3 Therefore they shall be '' as the

that passeth away, *^ as the chaff that 
is driven with the whirlwind out of

ISRAEL, ^return unto the

fallen by thine iniquity. 

2 Take with you words, and turn to 
the Lord : say unto him, Take away 
all iniquity, and || receive us gracious- 
ly: so will we render the ^ calves of 
our lips. 

3 ^ Asshur shall not save us ; ^ we 
will not ride upon horses : 'neither 
will we say any more to the work of 
our hands. Ye are our gods : s for in 
thee the fatherless findeth mercy. 

4 "HI will heal •> their backsliding, I 
will love them ' freely : for mine an- 
ger is turned away from him. 

5 I will be as '^the dew unto Israel : 
he shall || grow as the lily, and -j- cast 
forth his roots as Lebanon. 

6 His branches f shall spread, and 

I his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, 
and "ihis smell as Lebanon. 

7 n They that dwell under his sha- 
dow shall return ; they shall revive as 
the corn, and || gi'ow as the vine : the 

II scent thereof shall be as the wine of 
Lebanon. 

8 Ephraim shall say, °What have I 
to do any more with idols? pI have 
heard him, and obsei-ved him : I am 
hke a green fir-tree, q From me is thy 
fruit found. 

9 ""Who is wise, and he shall under- 
stand these things? prudent, and he 
shall know them? for »the ways ot 
the Lord a?'e right, and the just shall 
walk in them : but the transgressors 
shall fall therein.

5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep ; 
and howl, all ye drinkers of wine,

f barked my fig-tree : he hath made 
it clean bare, and cast it away ; the 
branches thereof are made white. 

8 m h Lament like a virgin girded 
with sackcloth for 'the husband of 
lier youth. 

9 ^ The meat-offering and the drink 
offering is cut off from the house of 
the Lord ; the priests, the Lord's 
ministers, mourn. 

10 The field is wasted, 'the land 
mourneth; for the corn is wasted: 
"•the new wine is || dried up, the oil 
languisheth. 

11 "Be ye ashamed, Oye husband- 
men ; howl, O ye vine-dressers, for 
the wheat and for the barley; because 
the harvest of the field is perished. 

12 " The vine is dried up, and the 
fig-tree languisheth; the pomegran- 
ate-tree, the palm-tree also, and the 
apple-tree, even all the trees of the 
field, are withered: because Pjoy is 
withered away from the sons of men. 

13 iGird yourselves, and lament, 
ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the 
altar: come, lie all night in sack- 
cloth, ye ministers of my God : for 
"' the meat-offering and the drink- 
offering is withholden from the house 
of your God. 

14 H s Sanctify ye a fast, call *a || so-

come. 

16 Is not the meat cut off before our 
eyes, yea, ^joy and gladness from the 
house of our God ? 

17 The f seed is rotten under their 
clods, the garners are laid desolate, 
the bams are broken down ; for the 
com is withered. 

18 How do "the beasts groan ! the 
herds of cattle are perplexed, because 
they have no pasture ; yea, the flocks 
of sheep are made desolate. 

19 O Lord, ''to thee will I cry: for

the Lord. 

4 "^ Thus saith the Lord ; For three 
transgressions of Judah, and for four, 
I will not turn away the punishment 
thereof: ^because they have despised 
the law of the Lord, and have not 
kept his commandments, and stheir 
lies caused them to err, h after the 
which their fathers have walked : 

5 ' But I will send a fire upon Ju- 
dah, and it shall devour the palaces 
of Jerusalem. 

6 TIThus saith the Lord; For three 
transgressions of Israel, and for four, 
I will not turn away the punishment 
thereof: because ^ they sold the right- 
eous for silver, and the poor for a pair 
of shoes ; 

7 That pant after the dust of the 
earth on the head of the poor, and 
' turn aside the way of the meek : 
™ and a man and his father will go 
in unto the same || maid, "to profane 
my holy name : 

8 And they lay themselves down 
upon clothes ^laid to pledge Pby

Israel reproved for oppression 

not fear ? the Lord God hath spo 
ken, fwho can but prophesy ? 

9 ■[[ Publish in the palaces at Ash- 
dod, and in the palaces in the land oi 
Egj'pt, and say, Assemble yourselves 
upon the mountains of Samaria, and 
behold the great tumults in the midst 
thereof, and the 1| oppressed in the 
midst thereof. 

10 For they sknow not to do right, 
saith the Lord, who store up vio- 
lence and II robbery in their palaces. 

11 Therefore thus saith the Lord 
God; ''An adversaiy there shall be 
even round about the land ; and he 
shall bring down thy strength from 
thee, and thy palaces shall be spoil- 
ed. 

12 Thus saith the Lord : As the 
shepherd ftaketh out of the mouth 
of the lion two legs, or a piece of an 
ear : so shall the children of Israel 
be taken out that dwell in Samaria 
in the corner of a bed, and ||in Da- 
mascus in a couch. 

13 Hear ye, and testify in the house 
of Jacob, saith the Lord God, the 
God of hosts, 

14 That, in the day that I shall || vi- 
sit the transgressions of Israel upon 
him, I will also visit the altarsof Beth- 
el : and the horns of the altar shall 
be cut off', and fall to the ground. 

15 And I will smite 'the winter- 
house with •'the summer-house ; and 
'the houses of ivor>' shall perish, and 
the great houses shall have an end, 
saith the Lord. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 He reproteth Israel for oppression, 1 for idol- 
atry, 6 and for their iucorriaibleness. 

HEAR this word, ye ^kine of Ba- 
shan, that arc in the moun- 
tain of Samaria, which oppress the 
poor, which ci-ush the needy, which 
say to their masters. Bring, and let 
us drink. 

2 ''The Lord God hath sworn by 
his holiness, that lo, the days shall

away '^ with hooks, and your posterity

5 'And t offer a sacrifice of thanks- 
giving with leaven, and proclaim and 
publish ^ the free-offerings : ■ for f this 
liketh you, O ye children of Israel, 
saith the Lord God. 

6 ^And I also have given you 
cleanness of teeth in all your cities, 
and want of bread in all your places : 
""yet have ye not returned unto me, 
saith the Lord. 

7 And also I have withholden the 
rain from you, when there were yet 
three months to the harvest : and I 
caused it to rain upon one city, and 
caused it not to rain upon another 
city: one piece was rained upon, and 
the piece whereupon it rained not 
withered. 

8 So two or three cities wandered 
unto one city, to drink water ; but 
they were not satisfied : "yet have 
ye not returned unto me, saith the 
Lord. 

9 °I have smitten you with blast- 
ing and mildew : || when your gar- 
dens and your vineyards and your fig- 
trees and your olive-trees increased, 
V the palmer- worm devoured them : 
yet have ye not returned unto me, 
saith the Lord. 

10 I have sent among you the pes- 
tilence II q after the manner of Egypt: 
your young men have I slain with the 
sword, f and have taken away your 
horses ; and I have made the stink of 
your camps to come up unto your 
nostrils: ■'yet have ye not returned 
unto me, saith the Lord. 

Ill have overthrown some of you, 
as God overthrew ^ Sodom and Go- 
morrah, tand ye were as a fire-brand 
plucked out of the burning : "yet 
have ye not returned unto me, saith 
the Lord. 

12 Therefore, thus will I do unto 
thee, O Israel: a/itf because I will do 
this unto thee, •''prepare to meet thy 
God, O Israel.

A lamentation for Israel. 
CHAP. V. 

1 A lamentatimifm- Israel. 4 An exhortation to 
repodance. 21 God rejecteth their hypocritical 
service. 

HEAR ye this word which I ^^take 
up against you, even a lamen- 
tation, O house of Israel. 

2 The virgin of Israel is fallen ; she 
shall no more rise : she is forsaken 
upon her land ; there is none to raise 
her up. 

3 For thus saith the Lord God ; 
The city that went out hy a thou- 
sand shall leave a hundred, and that 
which went forth by a hundred shall 
leave ten, to the house of Israel. 

4 ^ For thus saith the Lord unto 
the house of Israel, ^ Seek ye me, 
<=and ye shall live : 

5 But seek not ''Beth-el, nor enter 
into Gilgal, and pass not to "^Beer- 
sheba : for Gilgal shall surely go into 
captivity, and ^Beth-el shall come to 
nought. 

6 ? Seek the Lord, and ye shall live : 
lest he break out like fire in the house 
of Joseph, and devour it, and there he 
none to quench it in Beth-el. 

7 Ye who •> turn judgment to worm- 
wood, and leave off righteousness in 
the earth, 

8 Seek him that maketh the 'seven 
stars and Orion, and turneth the sha- 
dow of death into the morning, l^ and 
maketh the day dark with night : that 
1 calleth for the waters of the sea, and 
poureth them out upon the face of 
the earth : '"The Lord is his name : 

9 That strengtheneth the f spoiled 
against the strong, so that the spoil- 
ed shall come against the fortress. 

10 "They hate him that rebuketh 
in the gate, and they o abhor him 
that speaketh uprightly. 

11 Forasmuch, therefore, as your 
treading is upon the poor, and ye take 
from him burdens of wheat: Pyehave 
built houses of hewn stone, but ye 
shall not dwell in them ; ye have 
planted f pleasant vineyards, but ye 
shall not drink wine of them. 

12 For I know your manifold trans- 
gressions and your mighty sins: <3they 
afflict the just, they take 1| a bribe, 
and they "^turn aside the poor in the 
gate from their right. 

13 Therefore, Hhe prudent shall 
keep silence in that time ; for it is 
an evil time. 

896 



An exhortation to repentance. 

14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye 
may live : and so the Lord, the God 
of hosts, shall be with you, 'as ye 
have spoken. 

15 "Hate the evil, and love the 
good, and establish judgment in the 
gate : ^it may be that the Lord God 
of hosts will be gracious unto the 
remnant of Joseph. 

16 Therefore, the Lord, the God 
of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wail- 
ing shall be in all streets ; and they 
shall say in all the highways, Alas ! 
alas ! and they shall call the husband- 
man to mourning, and >such as are 
skilful of lamentation to wailing. 

17 And in all vineyards shall be 
wailing: for ^I will pass through 
thee, saith the Lord. 

18 a Wo unto you that desire the 
day of the Lord ! to w hat end is it 
for you ? bthe day of the Lord is 
darkness, and not light. 

19 <=As if a man did flee from a lion, 
and a bear met him ; or went into the 
house, and leaned his hand on the 
wall, and a serpent bit him. 

20 Shall not the day of the Lord 
be darkness, and not light ? even very 
dark, and no brightness in it? 

21 H"*! hate, I despise your feast- 
days, and '^I will not || smell in your 
solemn assemblies. 

22 '"Though ye offer me burnt-of- 
ferings and yourmeat-ofterings, I will 
not accept them; neither will I re- 
gard the II peace-offerings of your fat 
beasts. 

23 Take thou away from me the 
noise of thy songs ; fori will not hear 
the melody of thy viols. 

24 KBut let judgment f run down 
as waters, and righteousness as a 
mighty stream. 

25 ''Have ye offered unto me sacri- 
fices and offerings in the wilderness 
forty years, O house of Israel ? 

26 But ye have borne || the taber- 
nacle 'of your Moloch and Chiun 
your images, the star of your god, 
which ye made to yourselves. 

27 Therefore, will I cause you to go 
into captivity •'beyond Damascus, 
saith the Lord, ' whose name is The 
God of hosts.

WO =^ to them that || are at

the house of Israel came ! 

2 cPass ye unto ''Calneh, and see ; 
and from thence go ye to ^Hamath

the Philistines: ebe they better than 
these kingdoms? or their border 
greater than your border ? 

3 Ye that ^iput far away the 'evil 
day, 1*^ and cause 'the || seat of violence 
to come near ; 

4 That lie upon beds of ivoiy, and 
II stretch themselvesupontheircouch- 
es, and eat the lambs out of the flock, 
and the calves out of the midst of the 
stall ; 

5 ""That II chant to the sound of the 
viol, and'nnent to themselves instru- 
ments of music, "like David ; 

6 That drink || wine in bowls, and 
anoint themselves with the chief oint- 
ments: °but they are not grieved for 
the t aflliction of Joseph. 

7 "TI Therefore, now shall they go 
captive with the first that go captive, 
and the banquet of them that stretch- 
ed themselves shall be removed. 

8 pThe Lord God hath sworn by 
himself, saith the Lord the God of 
hosts, I abhor ithe excellency of Ja- 
cob, and hate his palaces : therefore 
will I deliver up the city with all 
f that is therein. 

9 And it shall come to pass, if there 
remain ten men in one house, that 
they shall die. 

10 And a man's uncle shall take him 
up, and he that bumeth him, to bring 
out the bones out of the house, and

1 The judgments of the grasshoppers, 4 and of 
thejire, are diverted by the prayer of Amos. 7 
By the wall of a plumb-line is signified the re- 
jection of Israel. 10 Amaziah complaineih of 
Amos. 14 Amos sheweth his calling, 16 arid 
Amaziah' s judgment. 

5HUS hath the Lord God shew- 
ed unto me ; and behold, he 
formed || grasshoppers in the begin- 
ning of the shooting up of the latter 
growth ; and lo, it ivas the latter 
growth after the king's mowings. 

2 And it came to pass, that when 
they had made an end of ea*'ng the 
grass of the land, then I said, O Lord 
God, forgive, I beseech thee : =^ || by

The type of a basket of summer fruit, 

of Israel : the land is not able to bear 
all his words. 

1 1 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam 
shall die by the sword, and Israel 
shall surely be led away captive out 
of their own land. 

12 Also, Amaziah said unto Amos, 

thou seer, go flee thee away into 
the land of Judah, and there eat 
bread, and prophesy there : 

13 But i^ prophesy not again any 
more at Beth-el : ifor it is the king's 

chapel, and it is the f king's court. 

1 4 "ff Then answered Amos, and said 
to Amaziah, I was no prophet, nei- 
ther was I "> a prophet's son ; " but I 
was a herdman, and a gatherer of 
il sycamore fruit : 

1 5 And the Lord took me f as I fol- 
lowed the flock, and the Lord said 
unto me. Go, prophesy unto my peo- 
ple Israel. 

16 Tf Now, therefore, hear thou the 
word of the Lord: Thou sayest. Pro- 
phesy not against Israel, and ^drop 
not thy word against the house of 
Isaac. 

17 P Therefore thus saith the Lord; 
qThy wife shall be a harlot in the 
city, and thy sons and thy daughters 
shall fall by the sword, and thy land 
shall be divided by line ; and thou 
shalt die in a polluted land : and Is- 
rael shall surely go into captivity 
forth of his land. 

CHAP. VIH. 

1 Sy a basket of summer fruit is shewed the pro- 
pinquity of Israel's end. 4 Oppression is re- 
proved. 1 1 A famine of the word threatened. 

THUS hath the Lord God shewed 
unto me: and behold a basket 
of summer fruit. 

2 And he said, Amos, what seest 
thou ? And I said, A basket of sum- 
mer fruit. Then said the Lord unto 
me, aThe end is come upon my peo- 
ple of Israel ; ^ I will not again pass 
by them any more. 

3 And cthe songs of the temple 
t shall be bowlings in that day, saith 
the Lord God : there shall be many 
dead bodies in every place ; ''they 
shall cast them forth f with silence. 

4 TI Hear this, O ye that ^ swallow 
up the needy, even to make the poor 
of the land to fail,

the shekel great, and f falsifying the 
balances by deceit ? 

6 That we may buy the poor for 
f' silver, and the needy for a pair of 
shoes ; yea, and sell the refuse of the 
wheat ? 

7 The Lord hath sworn by ' the 
excellency of Jacob, Surely *^I will 
never forget any of their works. 

8 ' Shall not the land tremble for 
triis,and every one mourn that dwell- 
eth therein ? and it shall rise up wholly 
as a flood ; and it shall be cast out 
and drowned, ^ as by the flood of 

EgJ'pt- . 

9 And it shall come to pass in that 
day, saith the Lord God, "that I will 
cause the sun to go down at noon, 
and I will darken the earth in the 
clear day: 

10 And I will turn your feasts into 
mourning, and all your songs into 
lamentation ; P and I will bring up 
sackcloth upon all loins, and bald- 
ness upon ever)' head ; land 1 will 
make it as the mourning of an only 
son, and the end thereof as a bitter 
day. 

11 H Behold, the days come, saith 
the Lord God, that I will send a fa- 
mine in the land, not a famine of 
bread, nor a thirst for water, but ^oi 
hearing the words of the Lord : 

12 And they shall wander from sea 
to sea, and from tlie north even to the 
east, they shall run to and fro to seek 
the word of the Lord, and shall not 
find it. 

13 In that day shall the fair virgins 
and young men faint for thirst. 

14 They that * swear by * the sin of 
Samaria, and say. Thy god, O Dan, 
liveth ; and, The f manner " of Beer 
sheba liveth ; even they shall fall, and 
never rise up again.

the altar : and he said, Smite the 

II lintel of the door, that the posts 
may shake: and H^^cut them in the 
head all of them ; and I will slay the 
last of them with the sword : ^he that 
fleeth of them shall not flee away,

not be dehvered.

CHAP. L 

1 Jonah, sent to Nineveh, fleeth to Tarthish. 4 He 
it bewrayed by a tempest, 1 1 tliroum into the sea, 
17 and swallouced by a fish. 

NOW the word of the Lord came 
unto ^11 Jonah the son of Amit- 
tai, saying, 

2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that •> great 
city, and cry against it ; for = their 
wickedness is come up before me. 

3 But Jonah '' rose up to fiee unto 
Tarshish from the presence of the 
Lord, and went down to <^Joppa; and 
he found a slnp going to Tarshish: so 
he paid the fare thereof, and went 
down into it, to go with tiiem unto 
Tarshish 'from the presence of the 
Lord. 

4 H But ? the Lord fsent out a 
great wind into the sea, and there 
was a mighty tempest in the sea, so 
that the ship \ was like to be broken. 

5 Then the mariners were afraid, 
and cried every man unto his god, 
and ''cast forth the wares that were 
in the ship into the sea, to lighten it 
of them. But Jonah was gone down 
' into the sides of the ship ; and he 
lay, and was fast asleep. 

6 So the ship-master came to him, 
and said unto him, What meanest 
thou, O sleeper? arise, ''call upon 
thy God, 'if so be that God will 
think upon us, that we perish not. 

7 And they said everj* one to his 
fellow. Come, and let us ""cast lots, 
that we may know for whose cause 
this evil is upon us. So they cast 
lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. 

8 Then said they unto him, " Tell 
us, we pray thee, for whose cause 
this evil is upon us; What is thine 
occupation ? and whence comest 
thou? what is thy country ? and of 
what people art thou ?

Hebrew ; and I fear || the Lord, the 
God of heaven, ° which hath made 
the sea and the drj' land. 

1 Then were the men fexceedingly 
afraid, and said unto him, Why hast 
thou done this ? For the men knew 
that he fled from the presence of the 
Lord, because he had told them. 

1 1 T1 Then said they unto him, ^V'hat 
shall we do unto thee, that the sea 
t may be calm unto us ? for the sea 
II t wrought, and was tempestuous. 

12 And he said unto them, PTake 
me up, and cast me ibrth into the 
sea; so shall the sea be calm unto 
you : for I know that for my sake 
this great tempest is upon you. 

13 Nevertheless the men f rowed 
hard to bring it to the land ; i but 
they could not : for the sea wrought, 
and was tempestuous against them. 

14 Wherefore they cried unto the 
Lord, and said. We beseech thee, O 
Lord, we beseech thee, let us not pe- 
rish for this man's life, and ■■ lay not 
upon us innocent blood : for thou, O 
Lord, 'hast done as it pleased thee. 

15 So they took up Jonah, and cast 
him forth into the sea: 'and the sea 
t ceased from her raging. 

16 Then the men " feared the Lord 
exceedingly, and f ofi'ered a sacrifice 
unto the Lord, and made vows. 

17 H Now the Loud had prepared 
a great fish to swallow up Jonah. 
And * Jonah v/as in the t belly of the 
fish three days and three nights.

THEN Jonah prayed unto the 
Lord his God out of the fish's 
belly, 

2 And said, I "cried || by reason of 
mine affliction unto the Lord, ''and 
901 



Jonah preacheth the fall of Nineveh 

he heard me; out of the belly of 
II hell cried I, and thou heardest my 
voice. 

3 <=For thou hadst cast me into the 
deep, in the f midst of the seas ; and 
the floods compassed me about: ^all 
thy billows and thy waves passed 
over me. 

4 "^Then I said, I am cast out of thy 
sight ; yet I will look again ^toward 
thy holy temple. 

5 The ^waters compassed me about, 
even to the soul : the depth closed me 
round about, the weeds were wrap- 
ped about my head. 

6 I went down to the f bottoms of 
the mountains; the earth with her 
bars was about me for ever: yet hast 
thou brought up my life *' from || cor- 
ruption, O Lord my God. 

7 When my soul fainted within me 
I remembered the Lord : i and my 
prayer came in unto thee, into thy 
holy temple. 

8 They that observe ''lying vanities, 
forsake their own mercy. 

9 But I will ' sacrifice unto thee with 
the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay 
that that I have vowed. >" Salvation 
is of the Lord.' 

10 T[ And the Lord spake unto the 
fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon 
the dry land. 

CHAP. m. 

1 Jonah, sent again, preacheth to the Nineviies. 
5 Upon their repentance, 10 God repenteth. 

AND the word of the Lord came 
unto Jonah the second time, 
saying, 

2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great 
city, and preach unto it the preach- 
ing that I bid thee. 

3 So Jonah arose, and went unto 
Nineveh, according to the word of 
the Lord. Now Nineveh was an 
f exceeding great city of three days' 
journey. 

4 And Jonah began to enter into 
tlie city a day's journey, and ^he 
cried, and said. Yet forty days, and 
Nineveh shall be overthrown. 

5 1' So the people of Nineveh ''be- 
lieved God, and proclaimed a fast, 
and put on sackcloth, from the great- 
est of them even to the least of them. 

6 For word came unto the king of 
Nineveh, and he arose from his

let them not feed, nor drink water 

8 But let man and beast be covered 
with sackcloth, and cry mightily un-

fierce anger, that we perish not?

that they turned from their evil way;

had said that he would do unto them ; 
and he did it not. 

CHAP. IV. 

I Jonah, repining at God's mercy, 4 is reproved 

by the type of a gourd. 

BUT it displeased Jonah exceed- 
ingly, and he was very angry. 

2 And he prayed unto the Lord, 
and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was 
not this my saying, when I was yet 
in my country? Therefore I ^fled be- 
fore unto Tarshish: for I knew that 
thou art a ''gracious God, and merci- 
ful, slow to anger, and of great kind- 
ness, and repentest thee of the evil. 

3 <= Therefore now, O Lord, take, I 
beseech thee, my life from me ; for 
^ it is heiiQx for me to die than to 
live. 

4 1[ Then said the Lord, |1 Doest 
thou well to be angry ? 

5 So Jonah went out of the city, and 
sat on the east side of the city, and 
there made him a booth, and sat un- 
der it in the shadow, till he might see 
what would become of the city. 

6 And the Lord God perpared a 

II f gourd, and made it to come up 
over Jonah, that it might be a sha- 
dow over his head, to deliver him 
from his grief. So Jonah f was ex- 
ceeding glad of the gourd. 

7 But God prepared a worm when 
the morning rose the next day, and 
it smote the gourd that it withered. 

8 And it came to pass, when the 
sun did arise, that God prepared a 
II vehement east wind ; and the sun 
beat upon the head of Jonah, that he

The falsehood of the prophets. 

AND I said. Hear, I pray you, O 
heads of Jacob, and ye princes 
of the house of Israel : ^Is it not for 
you to know judgment ? 

2 Who hate the good, and love the 
evil ; who pluck off their skin from 
oif them, and their flesh from off 
their bones ; 

3 Who also I'eat the flesh of my 
people, and flay their skin from ofl* 
them ; and they break their bones, 
and chop them in pieces, as for the 
pot, and f^as flesh within the caldron. 

4 Then ''shall they cry unto the 
Lord, but he will not hear them : 
he will even hide his face from them 
at that time, as they have behaved 
themselves ill in their doings. 

5 ■[[ Thus saith the Lord ^ concern- 
ing the prophets that make my peo- 
ple err, that ^bite with their teeth, 
and cry. Peace ; and she that putteth 
not into their mouths, they even pre- 
pare war against him : 

6 ii Therefore, night shall be unto 
you, -j- that ye shall not have a vision ; 
and it shall be dark unto you, f that 
ye shall not divine ; 'and the sun 
shall go down over the pi'ophets, and 
the day shall be dark over them. 

7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, 
and the diviners confounded : yea, 
they shall all cover their flips; ^ior 
there is no answer of God. 

8 ■[[ But truly I am full of power by 
the Spirit of the Lord, and of judg- 
ment, and of might, Uo declare unto 
Jacob his transgression, and to Israel 
his sin. 

9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of 
the house of Jacob, and princes of 
the house of Israel, that abhor judg- 
ment, and pervert all equity. 

10 "iTliey build up Zion with 
"f blood, and Jerusalem with ini- 
quity. 

11 °The heads thereof judge for 
reward, and Pthe priests thereof teach 
for hire, and the prophets thereof 
divine for money: qyet will they lean 
upon the Lord, f and say. Is not the 
Lord among us ? none evil can come 
upon us. 

12 Therefore, shall Zion for your 
sake be " ploughed as a field, ^ and Je- 
rusalem shall become heaps, and * the 
mountain of the house as the high 
places of the. forest.

UT ^inthe last days it shall come 
to pass, that the mountain of the 
house of the Lord shall k)e establish- 
ed in the top of the mountains, and 
it shall be exalted above the hills ; 
and people shall flow unto it. 

2 And many nations shall come, 
and say, Come, and let us go up to 
the mountain of the Lord, and to 
the house of the God of Jacob ; and 
he will teach us of his ways, and we 
will walk in his paths: for the law 
shall go forth of Zion. and the word 
of the Lord from Jerusalem. 

3 TI And he shall judge among 
many people, and rebuke strong na- 
tions afar oft'; and they shall beat 
their swords into ^plough-shares, and 
their spears into || pruning-hooks: 
nation shall not lift up a sword a- 
gainst nation, '^neither shall they 
learn war any more. 

4 ''But they shall sit every man un- 
der his vine and under his fig-tree ; 
and none shall make them afraid : 
for the mouth of the Lord of hosts 
hath spoken it. 

5 For ^all people will walk every 
one in the name of his god, and fwe 
will walk in the name of the Lord 
our God for ever and ever.

What service is acceptable to him 

5 O my people, remember now 
what ^Balak king of Moab consult- 
ed, and what Balaam the son of 
Beor answered him from s Shittim 
unto Gilgal ; that ye may know ^ the 
righteousness of the Lord. 

6 II Wherewith shall I come before 
the Lord, and bow myself before 
the high God ? shall I come before 
him with burnt-offerings, with calves 
f of a year old? 

7 ' Will the Lord be pleased with 
thousands of rams, or with ten thou- 
sands of ''rivers o'f oil? 'shall I give 
my first-born for my transgression, 
the fruit of my f body for the sin of 
my soul? 

8 He hath ^ shewed thee, O man, 
what is good ; and what doth the 
Lord require of thee, but "to do just- 
ly, and to love mercy, and to f walk 
humbly with thy God? 

9 The Lord's voice crieth unto the 
city, and || the man of wisdom shall 
see thy name : hear ye the rod, and 
who hath appointed it. 

10 mil Are there yet the treasures of 
wickedness in the house of the wick- 
ed, and the f scant measure °that is 
abominable ? 

1 1 II Shall I count them pure with 
Pthe wicked balances, and with the 
bag of deceitful weights? 

12 For the rich men thereof are 
full of violence, and the inhabitants 
thereof have spoken lies, and n their 
tongue is deceitful in their mouth. 

13 Therefore, also will I ''make thee 
sick in smiting thee, in making thee 
desolate because of thy sins. 

14 s Thou shalt eat, but not be sa- 
tisfied; and thy casting down shall 
be in the midst of thee; and thou 
shalt take hold, but shalt not deli- 
ver ; and that which thou deliverest 
will I give up to the sword. 

15 Thou shalt tsow, but thou shalt 
not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, 
but thou shalt not anoint thee with 
oil ; and sweet wine, but shalt not 
drink wine. 

16 II For II the statutes of " Omri 
are ^kept, and all the works of the 
house of yAhab, and ye walk in their 
counsels; that I should make thee 
^ a II desolation, and the inhabitants 
thereof a hissing: therefore ye shall 
bear the ^^ reproach of my people.

The church's confidence in God. 
CHAP. VII. 

1 The church, complaining of her small number, 
3 and the general corruption, b putieih her con- 
fidence TWi in man, but in God. 8 She triumph- 
eth over her enemies. 14 God comforieih her by 
promises, 16 by confusion of the enemies, 18 attd 
by his mercies. 

WO is me ! for I am as f when 
they have gathered the sum- 
mer fruits, as =^the grape-gleanings of 
the vintage : there isno cluster to eat :j 
••my soul desired the first ripe fruit.' 

2 The «= II good man is perished out 
of the earth : and there is none up- 
right among men : they all lie in 
wait for blood ; ''they hunt every 
man his brother with a net. 

3 If That they may do evil with both 
hands earnestly, ^the prince asketh, 
•^and the judge asketh for a reward ; 
and the great man, he uttereth f his 
mischievous desire : so they wrap it 

"P- 

4 The best of them ?is as abrier: the 

most upright is sharper than a thorn- 
hedge : the day of thy watchmen and 
thy visitation cometh ; now shall be 
their perplexity. 

5 TI h Trust ye not in a friend, put 
ye not confidence in a guide: keep 
the doors of thy mouth from her that 
lieth in thy bosom. 

6 For 'the son dishonoureth the fa- 
ther, the daughter riseth up against 
her mother, tlie daughter-in-law a- 
gainst her mother-in-law; a man's 
enemies are the men of his own house. 

7 Therefore ''I will look unto the 
Lord ; I will wait for the God of my 
salvation ; my God will hear me. 

8 TI 'Rejoice not against me,0 mine 
enemy: "'when 1 fall, I shall arise; 
when I sit in darkness, "the Lord 
shall be a light unto me. 

9^1 will bear the indignation of the 
Lord, because I have sinned against 
him, until he plead my cause, and 
execute judgment for me : Phe will 
bring me forth to the light, and I 
shall behold his righteousness.

A PRAYER of Habakkuk the 
prophet =1 II upon Shigionoth. 

2 O Lord, I have heard f thy 
speech and was afraid : O Lord, 

''revive thy work in the midst of the 
years, in the midst of the years make 
known ; in wrath remember mercy. 

3 God came from || Teman, <=andthe 
Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. 
His glory^ covered the heavens, and 
the earth Avas full of his praise. 

4 And his brightness was as the 
light ; he had || horns coming out of 
his hand ; and there was the hiding 
of his power. 

5 '^ Before him went the pestilence, 
and II e burning coals went forth at 
his feet. 

6 He stood, and measured the earth: 
he beheld, and drove asunder the na- 
tions ; 'and the e everlasting moun- 
tains were scattered, the perpetual 
hills did bow: his ways a7-e everlasting. 

7 I saw the tents of || Cushan || in 
affliction : and the curtains of the 
land of Midian did tremble. 

8 Was the Lord displeased against 
the rivers ? was thine anger against 
the rivers ? ivas thy wrath against the 
sea, ^that thou didst ride upon thy 
horses, and\\ thy chariots of salvation ? 

9 Thy bow was made quite naked, 
according to the oaths of the tribes, 
even thy word. Selah. 1| 'Thou didst 
cleave the earth with rivers. 

10 It The mountains saw thee, and 
they trembled : the overflowing of 
the water passed by : the deep ut- 
tered his voice, and 'lifted up his 
hands on high. 

11 ""The sun and moon stood still 
in their habitation : || at the light of 
tliine "arrows they went, and at the 
shining of thy glittering spear. 

12 Thou didst march through the 
land in indignation," thou didst thresh 
the heathen in anger. 

1 3 Thou wentest forth for the salva- 
tion of thy people, even for salvation 
with thine anointed; I'thou wound- 
edst the head out of the house of the 
wicked, f by discovering the founda- 
tion unto the neck. Selah. 

14 Thou didst strike through with 
his staves the head of his villages : 
they f came out as a whirlwind to 
scatter me : their rejoicing was as to 
devour the poor secretly.

God^s severe judffment against Judahfor divers

^HE word of the Lord which 
came unto Zephaniah the son 
of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the 
son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, 
in the days of Josiah the son of A- 
mon, king of Judah. 

2 1 1 will utterly consume all things 
from off f the land, saith the Lord. 

3 ^I will consume man and beast; 

I will consume the fowls of the hea- 
ven, and the fishes of the sea, and 
I'the II stumbling-blocks with the wick- 
ed ; and I will cut off man from off 
the land, saith the Lord. 

4 I will also stretch out my hand 
upon Judah and upon all the inha- 
bitants of Jerusalem ; and <=I will cut 
off the remnant of Baal from this 
place, a7id the name of "^ the Chema- 
rims with the priests ; 

5 And them <= that worship the host 
of heaven upon the house-tops ; ^and 
them that worship and ethat swear

10 Therefore, "'the heaven overyou

'Ask now tlie priests concerning iha

12 If one bear holy flesh in the skirt 
of his garment, and with his skirt do 
touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or 
oil, or any meat, shall it be holy ? 
And the priest answered and said. No. 

13 Then said Haggai, If one that 
is ""unclean by a dead body touch 
any of these, shall it be unclean? 
And the priests answered and said. 
It shall be unclean.

"So is this people, and so /sthis na-

so is every work of their hands ; and 
that which they ofl'er there is unclean.

the month Sebat, in the second year 
of Darius, came the word of the Lord 
unto Zechariah, the son of Barachiah, 
the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, 

8 I saw by night, and behold ^a 
man riding upon a red horse, and he 
stood among the myrtle-trees that 
were in the bottom ; and behind him 
were there "red horses, || speckled, 
and white. 

9 Then said I, O myLord,what are 
these? And the angel that talked 
with me said unto me, I will shew 
thee what these he. 

10 And the man that stood among 
the myrtle-trees answered and said, 
''^ These are they Vf\\oxn the Lord hath 
sent to walk to and fro through the 
earth. 

11 'And they answered the angel 
of the Lord that stood among the 
myrtle-trees, and said. We have 
walked to and fro through the earth, 
and behold, all the earth sitteth still, 
and is at rest. 

12 TI Then the angel of the Lord 
answered and said, "^ O Lord of 
hosts, how long wilt thou not have 
mercy on Jerusalem and on the ci- 
ties of Judah, against which thou 
hast had indignation ° these three- 
score and ten years? 

13 And the Lord answered the an- 
gel that talked with me with °good 
words and comfortable words. 

14 So the angel that communed 

916 



Comfortable promises to Jerusalem. 

with me said unto me, Ciy thou, say- 
ing. Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; 
I am P jealous for Jerusalem and for 
Zion with a great jealousy. 

1 5 And I am very sore displeased 
with the heathen that are at ease: 
for q I was but a little displeased, and 
they helped forward the affliction. 

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord; 
'I am returned to Jerusalem with 
mercies : my house shall be built in 
it, saith the Lord of hosts, and ^a 
line shall be stretched forth upon 
Jerusalem. 

17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the 
Lord of hosts; My cities through 
■{■prosperity shall yet be spread a- 
broad ; ^and the Lord shall yet com- 
fort Zion, and "shall yet choose Jeru- 
salem. 

18 ^ Then lifted I up mine eyes, 
and saw, and behold four horns. 

19 And I said unto the angel that 
talked with me, What 6e these? And 
he answered me, 'These are the 
horns which have scattered Judah, 
Israel, and Jerusalem. 

20 And the Lord shewed me four 
carpenters. 

21 Then said \, What come these 
to do? And he spake, saying. These 
are the horns which have scattered 
Judah, so that no man did lift up 
his head: but these are come to fray 
them, to cast out the horns of the 
Gentiles, which >' lifted up tlteir horn

5 And I said, Let them set a fair 
^mitre upon his head. So they set 
a fair mitre upon his head, and cloth- 
ed him with garments. And the an- 
gel of the Lord stood by. 

6 And the angel of the Lord pro- 
tested unto Joshua, saying, 

7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; If 
thou wilt walk in my ways, and if 
thou wilt 'keep my || charge, then 
thou shalt also '^judge my house, and 
shalt also keep my courts, and I will 
give thee f places to walk among 
these that ' stand by. 

8 Hear now, O Joshua the high 
priest, thou and thy fellow^s that sit 
before thee : for they are ^ f men 
wondered at : for behold, I will bring 
forth "my servant The "BRANCH. 

9 For behold the stone that I have 
laid before Joshua ; P upon one stone 
shall be 1 seven eyes: behold, I will 
engrave the graving thereof, saith 
the Lord of hosts, and ^ I will re- 
move the iniquity of that land in one 
day. 

10 s In that day, saith the Lord of 
hosts, shall ye call every man his 
neighbour 'under the vine and un- 
der the fig-tree.

AND athe angel that talked with 
me came again, and waked me,

upon the right side of the bowl, and 
the other upon the left side thereof. 

4 So I answered and spake to the 
angel that talked with me, saying, 
What are these, my lord ? 

5 Then the angel that talked with 
me answered and said unto me, 
Knowest thou not what these be ?

8 Moreover the word of the Lord 
came unto me, saying, 

9 The hands of Zerubbabel ''have 
laid the foundation of this house; 
his hands 'shall also finish it ; and 
™ thou shalt know that the " Lord 
of hosts hath sent me unto you. 

10 For who hath despised the day

seven; Pthey are the eyes of the 
Lord, which run to and fro through

unto him. What are these q two olive- 
trees upon the right side of the can- 
dlestick and upon the left side there- 
of? 

12 And I answered again, and said 
unto him, What be these two olive 
branches which f through the two 
golden pipes || empty f the golden 
oil out of themselves ? 

13 And he answered me and said, 
Knowest thou not what these be ?

2 And he said unto me. What seest 
thou? And I answered, I see a flying 
roll ; the length thereof is twenty 
cubits, and the breadth thereof ten 
cubits. 

3 Then said he unto me. This is 
the ''curse that goeth forth over the

Lift up now thine eyes, and see what

6 And I said. What is it ? And he 
said, This IS an ephah that goeth forth. 
He said moreover, This is their re-

6 The black horses which are there-

and the white go forth after them ; 
and the grizzled go forth toward the 
south country. 

7 And the bay went forth, and sought 
to go that they might ^^walk to and

Get you hence,walk to and fro through 
the earth. So they walked to and

8 Then cried he upon me, and

AGAIN the word of the Lord 
of hosts came to me, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; 
^I was jealous for Zion with great 
jealousy, and I was jealous for her 
with great fury. 

3 Thus saith the Lord ; ^\ aim. re- 
turned unto Zion, and <= will dwell in 
the midst of Jerusalem : and Jerusa- 
lem <i shall be called, A city of truth ; 
and ^the mountain of the Lord of 
hosts, f The holy mountain. 

4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; 
g There shall yet old men and old 
women dwell in the streets of Jeru- 
salem, and every man with his staff 
in his hand f for very age. 

5 And the streets of the city shall 
be full of boys and girls playing in 
the streets thereof. 

6 Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; If 
it be II marvellous in the eyes of the 
remnant of this people in these days, 
h should it also be marvellous in mine 
eyes ? saith the Lord of hosts. 

7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; 
Behold, ' I will save my people from 
the east countiy, and from f the west 
country ; 

8 And I will bring them, and they 
shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: 
k and they shall be my people, and I 
will be their God, ' in truth and in 
righteousness. 

9 ^ Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; 
m Let your hands be strong, ye that 
hear in these days these words by the 
mouth of " the prophets, which were 
in °the day that the foundation of the 
house of the Lord of hosts was laid, 
that the temple might be built. 

10 For before these days || there was 
no Phire for man, nor any hire for 
beast ; q neither was there any peace 
to him that went out or came in be- 
cause of the affliction : for I set all 
men everyone against his neighbour. 

1 1 But now I will not he unto the 
residue of this people as in the for- 
mer days, saith the Lord of hosts. 

12 ■■ For the seed shall be tpros-

and 8 the ground shall give her in- 
crease, and 'the heavens shall give 
their dew ; and I will cause the rem- 
nant of this people to possess all these 
things. 

13 And it shall come to pass, that 
as ye were "a curse among the hea- 
then, O house of Judah, and house 
of Israel ; so will I save you, and ^ye 
shall be a blessing: fear not, hut >let 
your hands be strong. 

14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts ; 
^As I thought to punish you, when 
your fathers provoked me to wrath, 
saith the Lord of hosts, ^and I re- 
pented not: 

15 So again have I thought in these 
days to do well unto Jerusalem and 
to the house of Judah: fear ye not. 

16 *ll These are the things that ye 
shall do ; '' Speak ye every man the 
truth to his neighbour ; f execute the 
judgment of truth and peace in your 
gates : 

17 f=And let none of you imagine 
evil in your hearts against his neigh- 
bour ; and '' love no false oath : for 
all these are things that I hate, saith 
the Lord. 

18 TIAnd the word of the Lord of 
hosts came unto me, saying, 

19 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; 
«The fast of the fourth month, ""and 
the fast of the fifth, fe'and the fast 
of the seventh, ''and the fast of the 
tenth, shall be to the house of Ju- 
dah 'joy and gladness, and cheerful 
II feasts ; ■< therefore love the ti-uth 
and peace. 

20 Thus saith the Lord of hosts : 
It shall yet come to pass, that there 
shall comj people, and the inhabit- 
ants of many cities : 

21 And the inhabitants of one city 
shall go to another, saying, ' Let us 
go II f speedily f to pray before the 
Imrv, and to seek the Lord of 
hosts : I will go also. 

22 Yea, "'many people and strong 
nations shall come to seek the Lord

before the Lord,

CHAP. IX. 

1 God defendeih his church. 9 Zion is exhorted 
to rejoice for the coming of Christ, and his 
peaceable kingdom. 12 God' s promises of vic- 
tory and defence. 

THE =1 burden of the word of the 
Lord in the land of Hadrach, 
and ''Damascus shall be the rest 
thereof: when ^the eyes of man, as 
of all the tribes of Israel, shall he 
toward the Lord. 

2 And "^Hamath also shall border 
thereby ; ^ Tyrus and ^Zidon, though 
it be very swise. 

3 And Tyrus did build herself a 
strong hold, and ^heaped up silver 
as the dust, and fine gold as the 
mire of the streets. 

4 Behold, 'the Lord will cast her 
out, and he will smite ''her power in 
the sea ; and she shall be devoured 
with fire. 

5 ' Ashkelon shall see it, and fear ; 
Gaza also shall see it, and be very 
sorrowful, and Ekron ; for her ex- 
pectation shall be ashamed ; and the 
king shall perish from Gaza, and 
Ashkelon shall not be inhabited. 

6 And a bastard shall dwell "^in 
Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride 
of the Philistines. 

7 And I will take away his f blood 
out of his mouth, and his abomina- 
tions from between his teeth : but he 
that remaineth, even he, shall he for 
our God, and he shall be as a go- 
vernor in Judah, and Ekron as a Je- 
busite. 

8 And "I will encamp about my 
house because of the annj-, because 
of him that passeth by, and because 
of him that returneth : and "no op- 
pressor shall pass through them any 
more : for now Phave I seen with 
mine eyes. 

9 Tin Rejoice greatly, O daughter ot 
Zion ; shout, O daughter of Jerusa- 
lem : behold, ""thy King cometh unto 
thee : he is just, and || having salva 
tion ; lowly, and riding upon an as!=» 
and upon a colt the foal of an ass. 

10 And I "^will cut off the chariot 
from Ephraim, and the horse from 
Jerusalem, and the battle-bow shall 
be cut off": and he shall speak ' peace 
unto the heathen: and his dominion 
shall he "from sea even to sea, and

from the river even to the ends of 
the earth. 

1 1 As for thee also, || by the blood 
of thy covenant I have sent forth thy 
^prisoners out of the pit wherein is 
no Vi^ater. 

12 "iTTurn you to the strong hold, 
yye prisoners of hope : even to-day 
do I declare that ^1 will render dou- 
ble unto thee ; 

1 3 When I have bent Judah for me, 
filled the bow with Ephraim, and 
raised up thy sons, O Zion, against 
thy sons, O Greece, and made thee 
as the sword of a mighty man. 

14 And the Lord shall be seen over 
them, and a-his arrow shall go forth 
as the lightning : and the Lord God 
shall blow the trumpet, and shall go 
'^with whirlwinds of the south. 

15 The Lord of hosts shall defend 
them ; and they shall devour and 
II subdue with sling-stones ; and they 
shall drink, and make a noise as 
through wine ; and they || shall be 
filled like bowls, and as <=the corners 
of the altar. 

16 And the Lord their God shall 
save them in that day as the flock of 
his people : for "^ they shall be as the 
stones of a crown, '^lifted up as an 
ensign upon his land. 

17 For Hiow great is his goodness, 
and how great is his beauty! ffcorn 
shall make the young men || cheerful, 
and new wine the maids.

1 God is to be sought unto, and not idols. 5 As 
he visited his flock for sin, so he will same and 
restore them. 

ASK ye a of the Lord i^ rain <= in the 
time of the latter rain ; so the 
Lord shall make jj bright clouds, and 
give them showers of rain, to eveiy

nity, and the diviners have seen a lie, 
and have told false dreams ; they 
« comfort in vain : therefore they 
went their way as a flock, they || were 
troubled ^ because there was no shep- 
herd. 

3 Mine anger was kindled against 
the shepherds, &and I f punished the

3 H There is a voice of the howling 
of the shepherds ; for their glory is 
spoiled : a voice of the roaring of 
young lions ; for the pride of Jordan 
is spoiled. 

4 Thus saith the Lord my God ; 
^Feed the flock of the slaughter; 

5 Whose possessors slay them, and 
^hold themselves not guilty: and 
they that sell them <=say, Blessed be 
the Lord ; for I am rich : and their 
own shepherds pity them not. 

6 For I will no more pity the inha-

but lo, I will I deliver the men everj' 
one into his neighbour's hand, and 
into the hand of his king : and they 
shall smite the land, and out of their 
hand I will not deliver them. 

7 And I will ffeed the flock of 
slaughter, || even you, eO poor of the 
flock. And I took unto me two 
staves ; the one I call Beauty, and 
the other I called || Bands ; and I fed 
the flock. 

8 Three shepherds also I cut off" ''in 
one month ; and my soul f loathed 
them, and their soul also abhorred 
me. 

9 Then said I, I will not feed you : 
'that that dieth, let it die ; and that| 
that is to be cut off", let it be cut off"; 
and let the rest eat, every one the 
flesh t of another. 

10 II And I took my staff", even 
Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I 
might break my covenant which I 
had made with all the people. 

1 1 And it was broken in that day : 
and II so •'the poor of the ffock that 
waited upon me knew that it iras the 
word of the Lord. 

12 And I said unto them, f If ye 
think good, give me my price ; and 
if not, forbear. 8o they ' weighed for 
my price thirty pieces of silver. 

13 And the Lord said unto me, 
Cast it unto the '"potter: a goodly 
price that I was prized at of them. 
And I to(jk the thirty pieces of silver, 
and cast them to the potter in the 
house of the Lord. 

14 Then 1 cut asunder mine other

the brotherhood between Judah and

the mount of Olives shall cleave in 
the midst thereof toward the east and

yea, ye shall flee like as ye fled from

THE burden of the word of the 
Lord to Israel f by Malachi. 
2^1 have loved you, saith the Lord. 
Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved 
us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother ? 
saith the Lord : yet '•'I loved Jacob, 

3 And I hated Esau, and <=laid his 
mountains and his heritage waste for 
the dragons of the wilderness. 

4 Whereas Edom saith. We are im- 
}X)verished, but we will return and 
build the desolate places ; thus saith 
the Lord of hosts. They shall build, 
but I will throw down ; and they shall 
call them. The border of wickedness, 
and, The people against whom the 
Lord hath indignation for ever. 

5 And your eyes shall see, and ye 
shall say, ''The Lord wOl be magni- 
fied II t from the border of Israel. 

6 ^ A son ^ honoureth his father, and 
a servant his master : ^if then I fee a 
•father, where is my honour? and if 
I fee a master, where is my fear ? saith 
the Lord of hosts unto you,0 priests, 
that despise my name. sAnd ye say, 

■ Wherein have we despised thy name ? 

7 II Ye offer ''polluted bread upon 
mine altar ; and ye say, Wherein have 
we polluted thee? In that ye say, ' The 
table of the Lord is contemptible. 

8 And 'Mf ye offer the blind ffor 
sacrifice, is it not evil ? and if ye offer 
the lame and sick, is it not evil ? offer 
it now unto thy governor ; will he be 
pleased with thee, or ' accept thy per- 
son? saith the Lord of hosts. 

■9 And now, I pray you, beseech 
.^God that he will be gracious unto 
us: 'lathis hath been fby your means: 
will he regard yourpersons? saith the 
Lord of hosts. 

10 Who is there even among you 
that would shut thedoors/or nought? 
" neither do ye kindle fire on mine 
altar for nought. I have no pleasure 
in you, saith the Lord of hosts, « nei-

2 '^If ye will not hear, and if ye will 
not lay it to heart, to give glory unto 
my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I 
will even send a curse upon you, and 
I will curse your blessings ; yea, 1

ye do not lay it to heart. 

3 Behold, I will || corrupt your seed,

it. 

4 And ye shall know that I have 
sent this commandment unto you, 
that my covenant might be with 
Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. 

5 "^ My covenant was with him of life 
and peace ; and I gave them to him 
d/or the fear wherewith he feared me,

6 «^The law of truth was in his 
mouth, and iniquity was not found 
in his lips : he walked with me in 
peace and equity, and did ^turn ma-

ed the covenant of Levi, saith the 
Lord of hosts. 

9 Therefore ^have I also made you 
contemptible and base before all the

kept my Avays, but || f have been 
partial in the law. 

10 "^Have we not all one father? 
"hath not one God created us ? why 
do we deal treacherously every man 
against his brother, by profaning the 
covenant of our fathers ? 

11 TIJudah hath dealt treacherous- 
ly, and an abomination is committed 
in Israel and in Jerusalem; forJudah 
hath profaned the holiness of the Lord 
which he || loved, "and hath married 
the daughter of a strange god. 

12 The Lord will cut off the man 
that doeth this, || the master and the 
scholar, out of the tabernacles of Ja- 
cob, p and him that offereth an offer- 
ing unto the Lord of hosts.

out, insomuch that he regardeth not

EHOLD, =^1 will send my mes- 
senger, and he shall ''prepare 
the way before me : and the Lord, 
whom ye seek, shall suddenly come 
to his temple, ^^even the messenger 
of the covenant, whom ye delight in : 
behold, ^ he shall come, saith the 
Lord of hosts. 

2 But who may abide ^tlie day of 
his coming ? and 'who shall stand 
when he appeareth? for she is like a 
refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap. 

3 And '"he shall sit as a refiner and 
purifier of silver: and he shall purify 
the sons of Levi, and purge them as 
gold and silver, that they may 'offer 
unto the Lord an offering in righte- 
ousness. 

4 Then ''shall the offering of Judah 
and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the 
Lord, as in the days of old, and as 
in II former years. 

5 And I will come near to you to 
judgment : and I will be a swift 
witness against the sorcerers, and 
against the adulterers, ' and against 
false swearers, and against those that 
II oppress the hirehiig in his wages, 
tlie widow, and the fatherless, and 
that turn aside the stranger /ro??* his 
right, and fear not me, saith the 
Lord of hosts. 

6 For I am die Lord, "'I change 
not ; ° therefore ye sons of Jacol) are 
not consumed. 

7 H Even from the days of " your 
fathers ye are gone away from mine 
ordinances, and have not kept them. 
p Return unto me, and I will return 
unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. 
'iBut ye said.Wherein shall we return ? 

8 H Will a man rob God? Y'et ye 
have robbed me. But ye say. Where- 
in have we robbed thee ? >■ In tithes 
and ofterings. 

9 Y^e are cursed with a curse: for 
ye have robbed me, even this whole 
nation. 

10 »Bring ye all the tithes into Uhe 
storehouse, that there maybe meatin

that there shall not he room enough 
to receive it. 

1 1 And I will rebuke y the devourer 
for your sakes,and he shall not f de- 
stroy the fruits of your ground; nei- 
ther shall your vine cast her fruit be- 
fore the time in the field, saith the 
Lord of hosts. 

12 And all nations shall call you 
blessed : for ye shall he ^a. delight- 
some land, saith the Lord of hosts. 

13 TI ^ Your words have been stout 
against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye 
say, What have we spoken so much 
against thee? 

14 ''Ye have said. It is vain to serve 
God : and what profit is it that we 
have kept f his ordinance, and that 
we have walked f mournfully before 
the Lord of hosts ? 

15 And now '=we call the proud 
happy ; yea, they that work wick- 
edness f are set up ; yea, they that 
''tempt God are even delivered. 

16 tThen they ^ that feared the 
Lord ^ spake often one to another : 
and the Lord hearkened, and heard 
it: and s a book of remembrance was 
written before him for them that 
feared the Lord, and that thought 
upon his name.

18 1 Now the ■■ birth of Jesus Christ 
was on this wise : When as his mo- 
ther Mary was espoused to Joseph, 
before they came together, she was 
found with child ^ of the Holy Ghost. 

19 Then Joseph her husband, be- 
ing a just man, and not willing ^ to 
make her a public example, was 
minded to put her away privily. 

20 But while he thought on these 
things, behold, the angel of the Lord 
appeared to him in a dream, say- 
ing, Joseph, thou son of David, fear 
not to take unto thee Mary thy wife : 
" for that which is f conceived in her 
is of the Holy Ghost. 

21 ^And she shall bring forth a 
son, and thou shalt call his name 
II JESUS: for >'he shall save his peo- 
ple from their sins. 

22 Now all this was done, that it 
might be fulfilled which was spoken 
of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 

23 ^ Behold, a virgin shall be with 
child, and shall bring forth a son, and 
II they shall call his name Emmanuel, 
which being interpreted is, God with 
us. 

24 Then Joseph, being raised from 
sleep, did as the angel of the Lord 
had bidden him, and took unto him 
liis wife : . 

25 And knew her not till she had 
brought forth » her first-born son: and 
he called his name JESUS.

NOW when ''Jesus was born in 
Bethlehem of Judea in the days 
of Herod the king, behold, there 
came wise men ''from the east to 
Jerusalem,

Kinfr of the Jews ? for we have seen 
^ his star in the east, and are come 
to worship him.

The Wise men are directed to Christ. S. MAT 

these things, he was troubled, and all 
Jerusalem with him, 

4 And when he had gathered all <= the 
chief priests and ^scribes of the peo- 
ple together, s he demanded of them 
where Christ should be born. 

5 And they said unto him, In Beth- 
lehem of Judea : for thus it is writ- 
ten by the prophet, 

6 'lAnd thou Bethlehem, in the land 
of Juda, art not the least among the 
princes of Juda: for out of thee shall 
come a Governor, ' that shall || rule 
my people Israel. 

7 Then Herod, when he had privily 
called the wise men, inquired of them 
diligently what time the star appear- 
ed. 

8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, 
and said, Go, and search diligently for 
the young child ; and when ye have 
found hi?)!, bring me word again,that 
I may come and worship him also. 

9 When they had heard the king, 
they departed ; and lo, the star, 
which they saw in the east, went 
before them, till it came and stood 
over where the young child was. 

10 When they saw the star, they 
rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 

11"^ And when they were come 
into the house, they saw the young- 
child with Mary his mother, and fell 
down, and worshipped him: and 
when they had opened their treasures, 
^ they 11 presented unto him gifts ; 
gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 

12 And being warned of God ' in a 
dream that they should not return to 
Herod, they departed into their own 
country another way. 

13 And when they were departed, 
behold, the angel of the Lord appear- 
eth to Joseph in a dream, saying. 
Arise, and take the young child and 
his mother, and flee into Egypt, and 
be thou there until I bring thee word : 
for Herod will seek the young child 
to destroy him. 

14 When he arose, he took the 
young child and his mother by night, 
and departed into Egypt : 

15 And was there until the death 
of Herod : that it might be fulfilled 
which was spoken of the Lord by the 
prophet, saying," Out of Egypt have 
I called my Son. 

16 "HThen Herod, when he saw that

THEW. Herod's massacre of the infants 

he was mocked of the wise men, was 
exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and 
slew all the children that were in Beth- 
lehem, and in all the coasts thereof, 
from two years old and under, ac- 
cording to the time which he had di- 
ligently inquired of the wise men. 

17 Then was fulfilled that which 
was spoken by "Jeremy the prophet, 
saying, 

1 8 In Rama was there a voice heard, 
lamentation, and weeping, and great 
mourning, Rachel weeping for her 
children, and would not be comfort- 
ed, because they are not. 

19 ^ But, when Herod was dead, 
behold, an angel, of the Lord appear- 
eth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 

20 Saying, Arise, and take the young 
child and his mother, and go into 
the land of Israel : for they are dead 
which sought the young child's life. 

2 1 And he arose, and took the young 
child and his mother, and came into 
the land of Israel. 

22 But when he heard that Arche- 
laus did reign in Judea in the room 
of his father Herod, he was afraid to 
go thither : notwithstanding, being 
warned of God in a dream, he turn- 
ed aside °into the parts of Gahlee : 

23 And he came and dwelt in a city 
called p Nazareth : that it might be 
fulfilled q which was spoken by the 
prophets. He shall be called a Naza- 
rene.

3 For this is he that was spoken of 
by the prophet Esaias, saying, ''The

Christ is baptized in Jordan. 

7 % But when he saw many of the 
Pharisees and Sadduceescome to his 
baptism, he said unto them, ""O ge- 
neration of vipers, who hath warned 
you to flee from " the wrath to come ? 

8 Bring forth therefore fruits |1 meet 
for repentance : 

9 And think not to say within your- 
selves, ° We have Abraham to our fa- 
ther : for I say unto you, that God is 
able of these stones to raise up chil- 
dren unto Abraham. 

10 And now also the axe is laid un- 
to the root of the trees: P therefore 
ever)- tree which bringeth not forth 
good fruit is hewn down, and cast 
into the fire. 

1 1 1 1 indeed baptize you with wa- 
ter unto repentance : but he that 
cometh after me is mightier than I, 
whose shoes I am not worthy to bear : 
""he shall baptize you with the Holy 
Ghost, and with fire : 

12 sWhose fan is in his hand, and 
he will thoroughly purge his floor, and 
gather his wheat into the garner ; but 
he will 'burn up the chatf with un- 
quenchable fire. 

13 1I"Then cometh Jesus »from 
Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be 
baptized of him. 

14 But John forbade him, saying, I 
have need to be baptized of thee, and 
comest thou to me ? 

15 And Jesus answering said unto 
him. Suffer it to be so now : for thus 
it becometh us to fulfil all righteous- 
ness. Then he suffered him. 

16 yAnd Jesus, when he was bap- 
tized, went up straightway out of the 
water : and lo, the heavens were open- 
ed unto him, and he saw ''the Spirit 
of God descentling like a dove, and 
lighting upon him : 

17 a And lo, a voice from heaven, 
saying, ''This is my beloved Son, in 
whom I am well pleased.

Christ is tempted of the devil. 

3 And when the tempter came to 
him, he said, If thou be the Son of 
God, command that these stones be 
made bread. 

4 But he answered and said. It is 
written, ^^Man shall not live bv bread 
alone, but by every word that pro- 
ceedeth out of the mouth of God. 

5 Then the devil taketh him up 
•^into the holy city, and setteth him 
on a pinnacle of the temple, 

6 And saith unto him. If thou be 
the Son of God, cast thyself down, 
for it is written, ^He shall give his 
angels charge concerning thee : and 
in their hands they shall bear thee 
up, lest at any time thou dash thy 
foot against a stone. 

7 Jesus said unto him, It is writ- 
ten again, •'Thou shalt not tempt the 
Lord thy God. 

8 Again, the devil taketh him up 
into an exceeding high mountain, and 
sheweth him all the kingdoms of the 
world, and the gloiy of them ; 

9 And saith unto him. All these 
things will I give thee, if thou wilt 
fall do\\-n and worship me. 

10 Then saith Jesus unto him. Get 
thee hence, Satan : for it is written, 
ffThou shalt worship the Lord thy 
God, and him only shalt thou serve. 

1 1 Then the devil leaveth him, and 
behold, ''angels came and ministered 
unto him. 

12 TJ 'Now, when Jesus had heard 
that John was || cast into prison, he 
departed into Galilee ; 

13 And leaving Nazareth, he came 
and dwelt in Capernaum, which is 
upon the sea-coast, in the borders of 
Zabulon and Nephthalim ; 

14 That it might be fulfilled which 
was spoken by Esaias the prophet, 
saying, 

15 ''The land of Zabulon, and the 
land of Nephflialim, by the way of 
the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of 
the Gentiles : 

16 'The people which sat in dark- 
ness, saw great light ; and to them 
which sat in the region and shadow 
of death, light is sprung up. 

17 TfinFrom that time Jesus be- 
gan to preach, and to say, "Repent ; 
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Pder, Andrew, James, andJohncalled.^. MATTHEW. Christ's sermon on the mount. 

men P called Peter, and Andrew his 
brother, casting a net into the sea ; 
for they were fishers. 

19 And he saith unto them, Follow 
me, and <3l will make you fishers of 
men, 

20 ""And they straightway left their 
nets, and followed him. 

21 5 And going on from thence, he 
saw other two brethren, James the 
son of Zebedee, and John his bro- 
ther, in a ship with Zebedee their 
father, mending their nets : and he 
called them. 

22 And they immediately left the 
ship, and their father, and followed 
him. 

23 T[ And Jesus went about all Ga- 
lilee, t teaching in their synagogues, 
and preaching "the gospel of the 
kingdom, ''and healing all manner 
of sickness, and all manner of disease 
among the people. 

24 And his fame went throughout 
all Syria : and they brought unto him 
all sick people that were taken with di- 
vers diseases and torments, and those 
which were possessed with devils,and 
those which were lunatic, and those 
that had the palsy ; and he healed 
them. 

25 yAnd there followed him great 
multitudes of people from Galilee, 
and from Decapolis, and from Jeru- 
salem, and from Judea, and fi-om 
beyond Jordan. 

CHAP. V. 

1 Christ begimieth his sermon in the mount: 3 
declaring who are blessed, 13 who are the salt 
of the earth, 14 the light of the world, the city 
on a hill, 15 the candle: 17 that he came to ful- 
fil the law. 21 What it is to kill, 27 to commit 
adultery, 33 to swear : 38 exhorteth to suffer 
wrong, 44 to love even our enemies, 48 and to 
labour after perfectness. 

AND seeing the multitudes, "ihe 
went up into a mountain : and 
when he was set, his disciples came 
unto him. 

2 And he opened his mouth, and 
taught them, saying, 

3 i" Blessed are the poor in spirit : 
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 

4 c Blessed are they that mourn : for 
they shall be comforted. 

5 ''Blessed are the meek : for ^they 
shall inherit the earth, 

6 Blessed are they which do hunger 
and thirst after righteousness : ^for 
they shall be filled.

they shall obtain mercy. 

8 ^Blessed are the pure in heart: 
for 'they shall see God. 

9 Blessed are the peace-makers : 
for they shall be called the children 
of God. 

10 1^ Blessed are they Avhich are per- 
secuted for righteousness' sake : for 
theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 

11 1 Blessed are ye when men shall 
revile you, and persecute you, and 
shall say all manner of ™evil against 
you f falsely, for my sake. 

12 "Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: 
for great is your reward in heaven : 
for "so persecuted they the prophets 
which were before you. 

13 II Ye are the salt of the earth: 
Pbut if the salt have lost his savour, 
wherewith shall it be salted ? it is 
thenceforth good for nothing, but to 
be cast out, and to be trodden under 
foot of men. 

14 qYe are the light of the world. 
A city that is set on a hill cannot 
be hid. 

15 Neither do men ''light a candle, 
and put it under || a bushel, but on a 
candlestick : and it giveth light unto 
all that are in the house. 

16 Let your light so shine before 
men, ^that they may see your good 
works, and tglorify your Father which 
is in heaven. 

17 H "Think not that I am come to 
destroy the law, or the prophets : I 
am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 

18 For verily, I say unto you, ^Till 
heaven and earth pass, one jot or one 
tittle shall in no wise pass from the 
law, till all be fulfilled. 

19 ^Whosoever therefore shall break 
one of these least commandments, 
and shall teach men so, he shall be 
called the least in the kingdom of 
heaven : but whosoever shall do, and 
teach them, the same shall be called 
great in the kingdom of heaven. 

20 For I say unto you. That except 
your righteousness shall exceed vthe 
righteousness of the scribes and Pha- 
risees, ye shall in no case enter into 
the kingdom of heaven. 

21 H Ye have heard that it was said 
by them of old time, ^Thou shalt 

not kill ; and whosoever shall kill, 

shall be in danger of the judgment : 

934 



Chrisfs sertnon on the mount. 

22 But I say unto you, That a who- 
soever is angry with his brother with- 
out a cause, sliall be in danger of the 
judgment : and whosoever shall say 
to liis brother, H'^Raca, shall be in 
danger of the council : but whoso- 
ever shall say. Thou fool, shall be in 
danger of hell-fire. 

23 Therefore, <= if thou bring thy gift 
to the altar, and there rememberest 
that thy brother hath aught against 
thee, 

24 ^ Leave there thy gift before the 
altar, and go thy way ; first be recon- 
ciled to thy brother, and then come 
and offer thy gift. 

25 ^ Agree with thine adversary 
quickly, '"while thou art in the way 
with him ; lest at any time the adver- 
sary deliver thee to the judge, and 
the judge deliver thee to the officer, 
and thou be cast into prison. 

26 Verily,! say unto thee. Thou shalt 
by no means come out thence, till 
thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. 

27 TI Ye have heard that it was said 
by them of old time, sThou shalt not 
commit adultery : 

28 But I say unto you. That who- 
soever '^looketh on a woman to lust 
after her, hath committed adultery 
with her already in his heart. 

29 'And if thy right eye || offend 
thee, ''pluck it out, and cast it from 
thee : for it is profitable for thee that 
one of thy members should perish, 
and not that thy whole body should 
be cast into hell. 

30 And if thy right hand offend thee, 
cut it off', and cast it from thee : for it 
is profitable for thee that one of thy 
members should perish, and not that 
thy whole body should be cast into 
hell. 

31 It hath been said, 'Whosoever 
shall put away his wife, let him give 
her a writing of divorcement : 

32 But I say unto you. That ""who- 
soever shall put away his wife, saving 
for the cause of fornication, causeth 
her to commit adultery : and whoso- 
ever shall marry her that is divorced, 
committeth adultery. 

33 TI Again, ye have heard that "it 
hath been said by them of old time, 
°Thou shalt not forswear thyseW^ but 
P shalt perform unto the Lord thine 
oaths :

Christ's sermon on the mount. 

34 But I say unto you, i Swear not 
at all : neither by heaven ; for it is 
f God's throne : 

35 Nor by the earth ; for it is his 
footstool : neither by Jerusalem ; for 
it is ^the city of the great King : 

36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy 
head, because thou canst not make 
one hair w hite or black. 

37 'But let your communication be, 
Yea, yea ; Nay, nay : for w hatsoever 
is more than these cometh of evil, 

38 lYe have heard that it hath 
been said, "An eye for an eye, and a 
tooth for a tooth. 

39 But I say unto you, ^That ye re- 
sist not evil : y but whosoever shall 
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn 
to him the other also. 

40 And if any man will sue thee at 
the law, and take away thy coat, let 
him have thy cloak also. 

41 And whosoever ^shall compel 
thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 

42 Give to him that asketh thee, 
and " from him that would borrow of 
thee, turn not thou away. 

43 H Ye have heard that it hath been 
said, ''Thou shalt love thy neighbour, 
^and hate thine enemy : 

44 But I say unto you, '' Love your 
enemies, bless them that curse you, 
do good to them that hate you, and 
pray "^ for them which despitefully use 
you, and persecute you ; 

45 That ye may be the children of 
your Father which is in heaven : lor 
'he maketh his sun to rise on the evil 
and on the good, and sendeth rain on 
the just and on the unjust. 

40 eFor if ye love them which love 
you, what reward have ye ? do not 
even the publicans the same ? 

47 And if ye salute your brethren 
only, what do ye more than others 1 
do not even the publicans so ? 

48 ''Be ye therefore perfect, even 
'as your Father which is in heaven is 
perfect. 

CHAP. VL 

I ChrUt contini/cth his sermon in the mount, 
speaking of alnts, 5 prayer, 14 forgiving our 
brethren, \& fasting, 19 where our treasure is 
to be laid up, 24 of serving God and mammon : 
25 exhortelnnot to be careful foricorldly things : 
33 but to seek Gad's kingdom. 

TAKE heed that ye do not your 
II alms before men, to be seen of 
them : otherwise ye have no reward 

II of vour Father which is in heaven. 

935 



Of alms-giving, prayer, ^c. S 

2 Therefore,!! when thou doest thine 
alms, II do not sound a trumpet before 
thee, as the hypocrites do, in the syna- 
gogues, and in the streets, that they 
may have glory of men. Verily, I say 
unto you. They have their i-eward. 

3 But when thou doest alms, let not 
thy left hand know what thy right 
hand doeth ; 

4 That thine alms may be in secret : 
and thy Father which seeth in secret, 
himself ''shall reward thee openly. 

5 H And when thou prayest, thou 
shalt not be as the hypocrites are : 
for they love to pray standing in the 
synagogues, and in the corners of the 
streets, that they may be seen of men. 
Verily, I say unto you,They have their 
reward. 

6 But thou, when thou prayest, 
•= enter into thy closet, and when thou 
hast shut thy door, pray to thy Fa- 
ther which is in secret ; and thy Fa- 
ther, which seeth in secret, shall re- 
ward thee openly. 

7 But when ye pray, "^use not vain 
repetitions, as the heathen do: ^for 
they think that they shall be heard 
for their much speaking. 

8 Be not ye therefore like unto 
them : for your Father knoweth what 
things ye have need of before ye ask 
him. 

9 After this manner therefore pray 
ye : 'Our Father which art in hea- 
ven, Hallowed be thy name. 

10 Thy kingdom come. sThy will 
be done in earth fias it is in heaven. 

11 Give us this dayour 'daily bread. 

12 And "^forgive us our debts, as 
we forgive our debtors. 

13 ^And lead us not into tempta- 
tion, but "'deliver us from evil. "For 
thine is the kingdom, and the power, 
and the glory, for ever. Amen. 

14 °For, if ye forgive men their 
trespasses, your heavenly Father will 
also forgive you : 

1 5 But, P if ye forgive not men their 
trespasses, neither will your Father 
forgive your trespasses. 

16 1i Moreover, qwhen ye fast, be 
not as the hypocrites, of a sad coun- 
tenance : for they disfigure their 
faces, that they may appear unto men 
to fast. Verily, I say unto you. They 
have their reward. 

17 But thou, when thou fastest,

Against worldly care, 6fc, 

■^anoint thy head, and wash thy 
face ; 

18 That thou appear not unto men, 
to fast, but unto thy Father, which is 
in secret : and thy Father, which 
seeth in secret, shall reward thee 
openly. 

19 *!f ^Lay not up for yourselves 
treasures upon earth, where moth and 
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves 
break through and steal : 

20 tBut lay up for yourselves trea- 
sures in heaven, where neither moth 
nor rust doth corrupt, and where 
thieves do not break through nor 
steal. 

21 For where your treasure is, there 
will your heart be also. 

22 " The light of the body is the eye : 
if therefore thine eye be single, thy 
whole body shall be full of light. 

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy 
whole body shall be full of darkness. 
If therefore the light that is in thee 
be darkness, how great is that dark- 
ness ! 

24 II ''No man can serve two mas- 
ters : for either he will hate the one, 
and love the other ; or else he will 
hold to the one, and despise the other. 
y Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 

25 Therefore I say unto you, ^ Take 
no thought for your life, what ye shall 
eat, or what ye shall drink ; nor yet 
for your body, what ye shall put on. 
Is not the life more than meat, and 
the body than raiment ? 

26 ^Beholdthe fowls of the air: for 
they sow not, neither do they reap, 
nor gather into barns ; yet your hea- 
venly Father feedeth them. Are ye 
not much better than they ? 

27 Which of you by taking thought 
can add one cubit unto his stature ? 

28 And why take ye thought for 
raiment 1 Consider the lilies of the 
field how they grow ; they toil not, 
neither do they spin ; 

29 And yet I say unto you. That 
even Solomon in all his glory was 
not arrayed like one of these. 

30 Wherefore, if God so clotl^c the 
grass of the field, which to-day is, and 
to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall 
he not much more clothe you, O ye 
of little faith ? 

31 Therefore take no thought, say- 
inff, What shall we eat ? or. What

shall we drink? or, wherewithal shall 
we be clothed ? 

32 (For after all these things do the 
Gentiles seek) for your heavenly 
Father knoweth that ye have need 
of all these things. 

33 But ^ seek ye first the kingdom 
of God, and nis righteousness, and 
all these things shall be added unto 
you. 

34 Take therefore no thought for 
the mon-ow : for the morrow shall 
take thought for the things of itself. 
Sufficient unto the day is the evil 
thereof.

1 Christ ending' his sermon in the mount, reprov- 
eth rath judgment, & furhiddeth to cast holy 
things to dogs, 7 nxhorlelh to prayer, 13 to 
enter in at the strait gate, 15 to beware of false 
prophets, 21 not to be hearers, but doers of the 
word : 24 liA-e houses builded on a rock, 26 and 
not on the sand. 

JUDGE a not, that ye be not judg- 
ed. 

2 For with what judgment ye judge, 
ye shall be judged: ^and with what 
measure ye mete, it shall be measur- 
ed to you again. 

3 = And why beholdest thou the 
mote that is in thy brother's eye, but 
considerest not the beam that is in 
thine own eye? 

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy bro- 
ther. Let me pull out the mote out 
of thine eye ; and behold, a beam is 
in thine own eye? 

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the 
beam out of thine own eye ; and then 
shalt thou see clearly to cast out the 
mote out of thy brother's eye. 

6 If •! Give not that which is holy 
unto the dogs, neither cast ye your 
pearls before swine, lest they tram- 
ple them under their feet, and turn 
again and rend you. 

7 TI « Ask, and it shall be given you ; 
seek, and ye shall find ; knock, and it 
shall be opened unto you : 

8 For ''every one that asketh, re 
ceiveth ; and he that seeketh, find- 
eth ; and to him that knocketh, it 
shall be opened.

him a serpent ?

He endeth his sermon, 

children, how much more shall your 
Father which is in heaven give good 
things to them that ask him ? 

12 Therefore all things i whatso- 
ever ye would that men should do to 
you, do ye even so to them: for lathis 
is the law and the prophets. 

13 "il' Enter ye in at the strait gate; 
for wide is the gate, and broad is the 
way, that leadeth to desti'uction, and 
many there be which go in thereat : 

14 II Because, strait is the gate, and 
narrow is the way, which leadeth un- 
to life, and few there be that find it. 

15 11 ""Beware of false prophets, 
° which come to you in sheep's cloth- 
ing, but inwardly they are ° ravening 
wolves. 

16 P Ye shall know them by their 
fruits : i Do men gather grapes of 
thorns, or figs of thistles ? 

17 Even so ■■ every good tree bring- 
eth forth good fruit ; but a corrupt 
tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 

18 A good tree cannot bring forth 
evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree 
bring forth good fruit. 

IQ^Eveiy tree that bringeth not 
forth good fruit is hewn down, and 
cast into the fire. 

20 AVherefore, by their fruits ye shall 
know them. 

21 "II Not every one that saith unto 
me, ' Lord, Lord, shall enter into the 
kingdom of heaven ; but he that do- 
eth the will of my Father which is in 
heaven. 

22 Many will say to me in that 
day. Lord, Lord, have we "not pro- 
phesied in thy name ? and in thy 
name have cast out devils? and in thy 
name done many wonderful works ? 

23 And "then will I profess unto 
them, I never knew you: >' depart 
from me, yc that work iniquity. 

24 ^ Therefore, ^whosoever heareth 
these sayings of mine, and doeth them, 
I will liken him unto a wise man, 
which built his house upon a rock : 

25 And the rain descended, and the 
floods came, and the winds blew, and 
beat upon that house ; and it fell not : 
for it was founded upon a rock. 

20 And every one that heareth these

followed him.

and worshipped him, saying. Lord, if 
thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 

3 And Jesus put forth his hand, 
and touched him, saying, I will ; be 
thou clean. And immediately his le- 
prosy was cleansed.

thou tell no man ; but go thy way, 
shew thyself to the priest, and offer 
the gift that ^ Moses commanded, for 
a testimony unto them. 

5 TI<1 And when Jesus was entered 
into Capernaum, there came unto 
him a centurion, beseeching him, 

6 And saying, Lord, my servant li- 
eth at home sick of the palsy, griev- 
ously tormented. 

7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will 
come and heal him. 

8 The centurion answered and said, 
Lord, ^I am not worthy that thou 
shouldest come under my roof: but 
f speak the word only, and my ser- 
vant shall be healed. 

9 For I am a man under authority, 
having soldiers under me : and I say 
to this man, Go, and he goeth ; and 
to another. Come, and he cometh ; 
and to my servant, Do this, and he 
doeth it. 

10 When Jesus heard it, he marvel- 
led, and said to them that followed. 
Verily I say unto you, I have not 
found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 

11 And I say unto you. That &many 
shall come from the east and west,

13 And Jesus said unto the centu- 
rion. Go thy way ; and as thou hast 
believed, so be it done unto thee. 
And his servant was healed in the 
self-same hour. 

14 Tji^ And when Jesus was come 
into Peter's house, he saw 'his wife's 
mother laid, and sick of a fever. 

15 And he touched her hand, and 
the fever left her : and she arose, and 
ministered unto them. 

1 6 H •" When the even was come, 
they brought unto him many that 
were possessed with devils : and he 
cast out the spirits with his word, 
and healed all that were sick; 

17 That it might be fulfilled which 
was spoken by Esaias the prophet, 
saying, " Himself took our infirmi- 
ties, and bare our sicknesses. 

18 ^ Now when Jesus saw great 
multitudes about him, he gave com- 
mandment to depart unto the other 
side. 

19 °And a certain scribe came, 
and said unto him. Master, I will 
follow thee whithersoever thougoest. 

20 And Jesus saith unto him. The 
foxes have holes, and the birds of the 
air have nests ; but the Son of man 
hath not where to lay his head. 

21 PAnd another of his disciples 
said unto him, Lord, <? suffer me first 
to go and bury my father. 

22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow 
me ; and let the dead bury their dead. 

23 Tf And when he was entered into 
a ship, his disciples followed him. 

24 r And behold, there arose a great 
tempest in the sea, insomuch that the 
ship was covered with the waves 
but he was asleep. 

25 And his disciples came to him. 
and awoke him, saying. Lord, save 
us : we perish. 

26 And he saith unto them, Why are 
ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then 
she arose, and rebuked the winds and 
the sea; and there was a great calm. 

27 But the men marvelled, saying, 
What manner of man is this, that 
even the winds and the sea obey him! 

28T['And when he was come to the 
other side, into the country' of the 
Gergesenes, there met him two pos- 
sessed with devils, Qoming out of the

tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no 
man might pass by that way. 

29 And behold, they cried out, say- 
ing, What have we to do with thee, 
Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou 
come hither to torment us before the 
time? 

30 And there was a good way off 
from them a herd of many swine, 
feeding. 

31 So the devils besought him, say- 
ing. If thou cast us out, suffer us to 
go away into the herd of swine. 

32 And he said unto them, Go. 
And when they were come out, they 
went into the herd of swine: and be- 
hold, the whole herd of swine ran 
violentlydowna steep place into the 
sea, and perished in the waters. 

33 And they that kept them, fled, 
and went their ways into the cit}% 
and told everj' thing ; and what was 
befallen to the possessed of the de 
vils. 

34 And behold, the whole city came 
out to meet Jesus : and when they 
saw him, "they besought him that he 
would depart out of their coasts.

3 And behold, certain of the scribes 
said within themselves, This man 
blasphemeth. 

4 And Jesus, "^ knowing their 
thoughts, said. Wherefore think ye

5 For whether is easier to say, Thy 
sins be forgiven thee; or to say, 
Arise, and walk? 

6 But that ye may know that the

forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick 
of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed,

sat at meat in the house, behold, ma- 
ny publicans and sinners came and 
sat down with him and his disciples. 

1 1 And when the Pharisees saw it, 
they said unto his disciples. Why eat- 
eth your Master with gpublicans and 
''sinners? 

12 But when Jesus heard that, he 
said unto them, They that be whole 
need not a physician, but they that 
are sick. 

13 But go ye and learn what that 
meaneth, 'I will have mercy, and not 
sacrifice : for I am not come to call 
the righteous, "^but sinners to re- 
pentance. 

14 II Then came to him the disci- 
ples of John, saying, 'Why do we and 
the Pharisees fast oft, but thy dis- 
ciples fast not ? 

15 And Jesus said unto them. Can 
™ the children of the bride-chamber 
mourn, as long as the bridegroom is 
with them ? but the days will come, 
when the bridegroom shall be taken 
from them, and "then shall they fast. 

16 No man putteth a piece of ||new 
cloth unto an old garment : for that 
which is put in to fill it up, taketh 
from the garment, and the rent is 
made worse. 

17 Neither do men put new wine 
into old bottles : else the bottles break, 
and the wine runneth out, and the 
bottles perish : but they put new wine 
into new bottles, and both are pre- 
served. 

18 11° While he spake these things 
unto them, behold, there came a cer- 
tain ruler, and worshipped him, say- 
ing, INIy daughter is even now dead : 
but come and lay thy hand upon her, 
and she shall live. 

19 And Jesus arose, and followed 
him, and so did his disciples. 

20 IT (p And behold, a woman which

was diseased with an issue of blood 
twelve years, came behind Imn, and 
touched the hem of his garment. 

21 For she said within herself, If I 
may but touch his garment, I shall 
be whole. 

22 But Jesus turned him about, and 
when he saw her, he said. Daughter, 
be of good comfort : qthy faith hath 
made thee whole. And the woman 
was made whole from that hour.) 

23 ""And when Jesus came into the 
ruler's house, and saw ^ the minsti-els 
and the people making a noise, 

24 He said unto them,* Give place : 
for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. 
And they laughed him to scorn. 

25 But when the people were put 
forth, he went in, and took herby the 
hand, and the maid arose. 

26 And II the fame hereof went a- 
broad into all that land. 

27 "^And when Jesus departed 
thence, two bhnd men followed him, 
crying, and saying, " Thou son of 
David, have mercy on us. 

28 And when he was come into the 
house, the blind men came to him: 
and Jesus saith unto them, Beheve 
ye that I am able to do this ? They 
said unto him. Yea, Lord. 

29 Then touched he their eyes, say- 
ing. According to your faith, be it 
unto you. 

30 And their eyes were opened ; 
and Jesus straitly charged them, say- 
ing, ^ See that no man know it. 

31 >'But they, when they were de- 
parted, spread abroad his fame in all 
that country. 

32 1 2 As they went out, behold, 
they brought to him a dumb man 
possessed with a devil. 

33 And when the devil was cast out, 
the dumb spake : and the multitudes 
marvelled, saying. It was never so 
seen in Isi-ael. 

34 But the Pharisees said, ^ He cast- 
eth out devils, through the prince of 
the devils. 

35 '' And Jesus went about all the 
cities and villages, « teaching in their 
synagogues, and preaching the gos- 
pel of the kingdom, and healing every 
sickness, and every disease among 
the people.

1 Christ sendeth outhis twelve apostles, enabling 
them 2oith potcer to do miracles, 5 giveth them 
their charge, teacheth them, 16 comforteth them 
against persecutions : 40 and promiseth a 
blessing to those thaireceive them. 

ND i^when he had called unto 
him his twelve disciples, he gave 
them power \\against unclean spi- 
rits, to cast them out, and to heal all 
manner of sickness, and all manner 
of disease. 

2 Now the names of the twelve 
apostles are these ; The first, Simon, 
''who is called Peter, and Andrew his 
brother; James the son of Zebedee, 
and John his brother ; 

3 Philip, and Bartholomew ; Tho- 
mas, and Matthew the publican ; 
James the son of Alpheus, and 
Lebbeus, whose surname was Thad- 
deus ; 

4 <^ Simon the Canaanite, and Judas 
•^Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 

5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and 
commanded them, saying, <=Go not 
into the way of the Gentiles, and into 
any city of ''the Samaritans enter ye 
not. 

6 s But go rather to the •> lost sheep 
of the house of Israel. 

7 ■ And as ye go, preach, saying, 
'^ The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 

8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, 
raise the dead, cast out devils: 'freely 
ye have received, freely give. 

9 ™ II Provide neither gold, nor sil- 
ver, nor " brass in your purses ; 

10 Nor scrip for yowr journey, nei- 
ther two coats, neither shoes, nor yet 
f staves: ("for the workman is, wor- 
thy of his meat.) 

11 PAnd into whatsoever city or 
town ye shall enter, inquire who in 
it is worthy ; and there abide till ye 
go thence. 

12 And when ye come into a house, 
salute it.

your peace come upon it : ■'but if it

speaketh in you.

up the brother to death, and the fa- 
ther the child: and the children shall 
rise up against llieir parents, and 
cause them to be put to death. 

22 And'iyc shall be hated of all men 
for my name's sake : ' but he that en- 
dureth to the end shall be saved. 

23 But ''when they persecute you 
in this city, flee yc into another : for 
verily I say unto you. Ye shall not 
II have gone over the cities of Israel 
'till the Son of man be come. 

24 '"The disciple is not above his 
master, nor the ser\'ant above his lord. 

25 It is enough for the disciple that 
he be as his master, and the servant 
as his lord: if "they have called the 
master of the house f Beelzebub, how 
much more shall they call them of 
his household ? 

26 Fear them not therefore : " for 
there is nothing covered, that shall 
not be revealed : and hid, that shall 
not be known.

that speak ye in light : and what ye 
hear in the ear, that piteach ye upon

pentance of Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Caper- 
jiaum : 25 and praising his Father's wisdom in 
revealing the gospel to the simple, 28 he calleth 
to him all such as feel the burden of their sins. 

AND it came to pass when Jesus 
had made an end of command- 
ing his twelve disciples, he departed 
thence to teach and to preach in their 
cities. 

2 a Now when John had heard ^in 
the prison the works of Christ, he 
sent two of his disciples, 

3 And said unto him. Art thou ^he 
that should come, or do we look for 
another 1 

4 Jesus answered and said unto 
them. Go and shew John again those 
things which ye do hear and see : 

5 '^The blind receive their sight, 
and the lame walk, the lepers are 
cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead 
are raised up, and ^the poor have 
the gospel preached to them. 

6 And blessed is he whosoever shall 
not f be offended in me. 

7 ^gAnd as they departed, Jesus 
began to say unto the multitudes 
concerning John, What went ye out 
into the wilderness to see ? i" A reed 
shaken with the wind ? 

8 But what went ye out for to see ? 
A man clothed in soft raiment ? Be- 
hold, they that wear soft clothing are 
in kings' houses. 

9 But what went ye out for to see ? 
A prophet ? yea, I say unto you, ' and 
more than a prophet. 

10 For this is he of whom it is 
written, "^Behold, I send my mes- 
senger before thy face, which shall 
prepare thy way before thee. 

1 1 Verily, I say unto you, Among 
them that are born of women, there 
hath not risen a greater than John 
the Baptist : notwithstanding, he that 
is least in the kingdom of heaven, is 
greater than he. 

12 'And from the days of John the 
Baptist, until now, the kingdom of

violent take it by force.

ing unto their fellows, 

17 And saying, We have piped un- 
to you, and ye have not danced ; We 
have mourned unto you, and ye have 
not lamented. 

18 For John came neither eating 
nor drinking, and they say, He hath 
a devil. 

19 The Son of man came eating and 
drinking, and they say, Behold, a man 
gluttonous, and a wine-bibber, i a 
friend of publicans and sinners. 'But 
Wisdom is justified of her children. 

20 TI ^Then began he to upbraid 
the cities wherein most of his mighty 
works were done, because they re- 
pented not. 

21 Wo unto thee, Chorazin! wo 
unto thee, Bethsaida! forifthe migh- 
ty works which were done in you 
had been done in Tyre and Sidon, 
they would have repented long ago 
'in sackcloth and ashes. 

22 But I say unto you, "It shall be 
more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at 
the day of judgment, than for you. 

23 And thou, Capernaum, * which 
art exalted unto heaven, shalt be 
brought down to hell : for if the 
mighty works which have been done 
in thee, had been done in Sodom, it 
would have remained until this day. 

24 But I say unto you, yThat it 
shall be more tolerable for the land 
of Sodom, in the day of judgment 
than for thee. 

25 "H ^ At that time Jesus answered 
and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord 
of heaven and earth, because ^ thou 
hast hid these things from the wise 
and prudent, ^ and hast revealed them 
unto babes.

The withered hand healed. 

30 ''For my yoke is easy, and my 
burden is light. 

CHAP. XII. 

1 Christ reproveth the blindness of the Pharisees 
co7iceming the breach ofthe sabbath, 3 by scrip- 
tures, 9 by reason, 13 and by a miracle. 22 He 
Itealeth the man possessed that was bliJuL and 
dumb. 31 Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost 
shall never be forgiven. 36 Account shall be 
■made of idle words. 38 He rebuketh the un- 
faithful, who seek after a sign: 49 andsheweth 
who is his brother, sister, and motlter. 

AT that time ^ Jesus went on the 
sabbath-day through the corn, 
and his disciples were a hungered, 
and began to pluck the ears of corn, 
and to eat. 

2 But when the Pharisees saw it, 
they said unto him. Behold, thy dis- 
ciples do that which is not lawful to 
do upon the sabbath-day. 

3 But he said unto them, Have ye 
not read "what David did when he 
was a hungered, and they that were 
with him ; 

4 How he entered into the house 
of God, and did eat =the shew-bread, 
which was not lawful for him to eat, 
neither for them which were with 
him, <^ but only for the priests ? 

5 Or have ye not read in the e law 
how that on the sabbath-days the 
priests in the temple profane the 
sabbath, and are blameless ? 

6 But I say unto you, that in this 
place is ^one greater than the temple 

7 But if ye had known what this 
meaneth, s I will have mercy, and 
not sacrifice, ye would not have con- 
demned the guiltless. 

8 For the Son of man is Lord even 
of the sabbath-day. 

9 •' And when he was departed 
thence, he went into their sjTiagogue. 

10 H And behold, there was a man 
which had his hand withered. And 
they asked him, saying, ' Is it lawful 
to heal on the sabbath-days? that 
they might accuse him. 

1 1 And he said unto them. What 
man shall there be among you, that 
shall have one sheep, and ''if it fall 
into a pit on the sabbath-day, will he 
not lay hold on it, and lift it out ( 

12 How much then is a man better 
than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful 
to do well on the sabbath-days. 

13 Then saith he to the man. Stretch 
forth thy hand. And he stretched 
it forth ; and it was restored whole, 
like as the other.

CHAP. XII. Christ healeth one blind and dumb. 

14 ^ Then ' the Pharisees went out, 
and II held a council against him, how 
they might destroy him. 

15 But when Jesus knew it, ™ he 
withdrew himself from thence : °and 
great multitudes followed him, and 
he healed them all. 

16 And ° charged them that they 
should not make him known : 

17 That it might be fulfilled which 
was spoken by Esaias the prophet, 
saying, 

18 p Behold my servant, whom I 
have chosen ; my beloved, <i in whom 
my soul is well pleased : I will put 
my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew 
judgment to the Gentiles. 

19 He shall not strive, nor cry ; 
neither shall any man hear his voice 
in the streets. 

20 A bruised reed shall he not 
break, and smoking flax shall he not 
quench, till he send forth judgment 
unto victory. 

21 And in his name shall the Gen- 
tiles trust. 

22l[fThen was brought unto him 
one possessed with a devil, blind 
jmd dumb ; and he healed him, inso- 
much that the blind and dumb both 
spake and saw. 

23 And all the people were amazed, 
and said. Is not this the son of Da- 
vid? 

2'4 s But when the Pharisees heard 
it, they said. This fellow doth not 
cast -out devils, but by f Beelzebub 
the prince of the devils. 

25 And Jesus 'knew their thoughts, 
and said unto them. Every kingdom 
divided against itself, is brought to 
desolation ; and every city or house 
divided against itself, shall not stand. 

26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he 
is divided against himself ; how shall 
then his kingdom stand ? 

27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out 
devils, by whom do your children 
cast them out ? therefore they shall 
be your judges. 

28 But if I cast out devils by the 
Spirit of God, then " the kingdom of 
God is come unto you. 

29 *0r else, how can one enter into 
a strong man's house, and spoil his 
goods, except he first bind the strong 
man? and then he will spoil his house.

31 "H Wherefore I say unto you, 
y All manner of sin and blasphemy 
shall be forgiven unto men : '^ but the 
blasphemy against the Holy Ghost 
shall not be forgiven unto men. 

32 And whosoever ^ speaketh a word 
against the Son of man, ^ it shall be 
forgiven him : but whosoever speak- 
eth against the Holy Ghost, it shall 
not be forgiven him, neither in this 
world, neither in the world to come. 

33 Either make the tree good, and 
c his fruit good ; oi else make the 
tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: 
for the tree is known by his fruit. 

34 O "^ generation of vipers, how 
can ye, being evil, speak good things ? 
e for out of the abundance of the 
heart, the mouth speaketh. 

35 A good man, out of the good trea- 
sure of the heart, bringeth forth good 
things : and an evil man, out of the evil 
treasure, bringeth forth evil things. 

36 But I say unto you. That every 
idle word that men shall speak, they 
shall give account thereof in the day 
of judgment. 

37 For by thy words thou shalt be 
justified, and by thy words thou shalt 
be condemned. 

38 ^ f Then certain of the scribes 
and of the Pharisees answered, say- 
ing. Master, we would see a sign 
from thee. 

39 But he answered and said to 
them. An evil and s adulterous gene- 
ration seeketh after a sign, and there 
shall no sign be given to it, but the 
sign of the prophet Jonas. 

40 ^ For as Jonas was three days 
and three nights in the whale's belly: 
so shall the Son of man be three 
days and three nights in the heart of 
the earth. 

41 i The men of Nineveh shall rise 
in judgment with this generation, and 
Jf shall condemn it: 'because they re- 
pented at the preaching of Jonas; and 
behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 

42 ™The queen of the south shall 
rise up in the judgment with this ge- 
neration, and shall condemn it: for 
she came from the uttermost parts 
of the earth to hear the wisdom of So- 
lomon ; and behold, a greater than 
Solomon is here.

M A T T H E W. The parable of the sower. 

43 " When the unclean spirit is gone 
out of a man, » he walketh through 
dry places, seeking rest, and findeth 
none. 

44 Then he saith, I will return into 
my house from whence I came out ; 
and when he is come, he findeth it 
empty, swept, and garnished. 

45 Then goeth he, and taketh with 
himself seven other spirits more wick- 
ed than himself, and they enter in 
and dwell there: Pand the last state 
of that man is worse than the first. 
Even so shall it be also unto this 
wicked generation. 

46 1 While he yet talked to the 
people, 1 behold, his mother and ■■ his 
brethren stood without, desiring to 
speak with him. 

47 Then one said unto him. Behold, 
thy mother and thy brethren stand 
without, desiring to speak with thee. 

48 But he answered and said unto 
him that told him. Who is my mo- 
ther ? and who are my brethren ? 

49 And he stretched forth his hand 
toward his disciples, and said, Be- 
hold my mother and my brethren ! 

50 For s whosoever shall do the will 
of my Father which is in heaven, the 
same is my brother, and sister, and 
mother.

2 ^ And great multitudes were ga- 
thered together unto him, so that '^he 
went into a ship, and sat ; and the 
whole multitude stood on the shore. 

3 And he spake many things unto 
them in parables, saying, ^ Behold, a 
sower went forth to sow ; 

4 And when he sowed, some seeds 
fell by the way-side, and the fowls 
came and devoured them up : 

5 Some fell upon stony places, where 
they had not much earth : and forth- 
with they sprung up, because they 
had no deepness of earth : 

6 And when the sun was up, they 
were scorched ; and because they 
had no root, they withered away. 

7 And some fell among thorns j and 

944 



Why Christ taught in parables. 

the thorns sprung up, and choked 
them : 

8 But other fell into good ground, 
and brought forth fruit, some ^a 
hundred-fold, some sixtj--fold, some 
thirty-fold. 

9 f Who hath ears to hear, let him 
hear. 

10 And the disciples came, and said 
unto him. Why speakest thou unto 
them in parables ? 

1 1 He answered and said unto them. 
Because sit is given unto you to know 
the mysteries of the kingdom of hea- 
ven, but to them it is not given. 

12 "For whosoever hath, to him 
shall be given, and he shall have more 
abundance : but whosoever hath not, 
from iiim shall be taken away even 
that he hath. 

13 Therefore speak I to them in pa- 
rables: because they seeing, see not; 
and hearing, they hear not; neither do 
they understand. 

14 And in them is fulfilled the pro- 
phesy of Esaias, which saith, 'By 
hearing ye shall hear, and shall not 
understand ; and seeing ye shall see, 
and shall not perceive : 

15 For this people's heart is waxed 
gross, and their ears '''are dull of hear- 
ing, and their eyes they have closed : 
lest at any time they should see with 
iheir eyes, and hear with their ears, 
and should understand with their 
heart, and should be converted, and 
I should heal them. 

16 But 'blessed are j'our eyes, for 
they see: and your ears, for they 
hear. 

1 7 For, verily, I say unto you, "> That 
many prophets and righteous men 
have desired to see those things which 
ye see, and have not seen them ; and 
to hear those things which ye hear, 
and have not heard them. 

18 If "Hear ye therefore the para- 
ble of the sower. 

19 When any one heareth the word 
°of the kingdom, and understandeth 
it not, then cometh the wicked one, 
and catcheth away that which was 
sown in his heart. This is he which 
received seed by the way-side. 

20 But he that received the seed 
into stony places, the same is he that 
heareth the word, and anon P with joy 
receiveth it ;

The parable of the tares 

21 Yet hath he not root in himself, 
but dureth for a while : for when tri- 
bulation or persecution ariseth be- 
cause of the word, by and by qhe is 
offended. 

22 ^He also that received seed ^a- 
mong the thorns is he that heareth 
the word ; and the care of this world, 
and the deceitfulness of riches choke 
the word, and he becometh unfruit- 
ful. 

23 But he that received seed into the 
good ground is he that heareth the 
word, and understandeth it ; which 
also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, 
some a hundred-fold, some sixty, 
some thirty. 

24 TI Another parable put he forth 
unto them, saying. The kingdom of 
heaven is likened unto a man which 
sowed good seed in his field : 

25 But while men slept, his enemy 
came and sowed tares among the 
wheat, and went his way. 

26 But when the blade was sprung 
up, and brought forth fruit, then ap- 
peared the tares also. 

27 So the servants of the household- 
er came and said unto him. Sir, didst 
not thou sow good seed in thy field 1 
from whence then hath it tares ? 

28 He said unto them, An enemy 
hath done this. The servants said 
unto him, Wilt thou then that we go 
and gather them up ? 

29 But he said. Nay ; lest while ye 
gather up the tares, ye root up also 
the wheat with them. 

30 Let both grow together until 
the harvest : and in the time of har- 
vest I will say to the reapers, Gather 
ye together first the tares, and bind 
them in bundles to burn them : but 
'gather the wheat into my barn. 

31 H Another parable put he forth 
unto them, saying, "The kingdom ot 
heaven is like to a grain of mustard- 
seed, which a man took, and sowed 
in his field : 

32 Which indeed is the least of all 
seeds : but when it is grown, it is the 
greatest among herbs, and becometh 
a tree, so that the birds of the air 
come and lodge in the branches 
thereof. 

33 IT ^Another parable spake he 
unto them ; The kingdom of heaven 
is like unto leaven, which a woman

Parable of the hidden treasure, 

took, and hid in three f measures of 
meal, till the whole was leavened. 

34 y All these things spake Jesus unto 
the multitude in parables ; and with- 
out a parable spake he not unto them : 

35 That it might be fulfilled which 
was spoken by the prophet, saying, 
^I will open my mouth in parables ; 
=^1 will utter things which have been 
kept secret from the foundation of 
the world, 

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude 
away, and went into the house : and 
his disciples came unto him, saying. 
Declare unto us the parable of the 
tares of the field. 

37 He answered and said unto them. 
He that soweth the good seed is the 
Son of man ; 

38 bThe field is the world; the 
good seed are the children of the 
kingdom ; but the tares are f^the 
children of the wicked one; 

39 The enemy that sowed them isjJo}'"*|'*4. 
the devil ; ^ the harvest is the end of 
the world ; and the reapers are the 
angels. 

40 As therefore the tares are ga- 
thered and burned in the fire ; so 
shall it be in the end of this world. 

41 The Son of man shall send forth 
his angels, e and they shall gather out 
of his kingdom all || things that of- 
fend, and them which do iniquity ; 

42 f And shall cast them into a fur- 
nace of fire : g there shall be wailing 
and gnashing of teeth. 

43 iiThen shall the righteous shine 
forth as the sun in the kingdom of 
their Father. 'Who hath ears to 
hear, let him hear. 

44 HAgain, The kingdom of heaven 
is like unto treasure hid in a field ; 
the which when a man hath found, 
he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth 
and kselleth all that he hath, and 
'buyeth that field. 

45 T[ Again, The kingdom of heaven 
is like unto a merchant-man seeking 
goodly pearls : 

46 Who, when he had found ^one 
pearl of great price, went and sold 
all that he had, and bought it. 

47 H Again, The kingdom of heaven 
is like unto a net, that was cast into 
the sea, and "gathered of every kind : 

48 Which, when it was full, they 
drew to shore, and sat down, and

50 P And shall cast them into the

ing and gnashing of teeth. 

51 Jesus saith unto them. Have ye 
understood all these things 1 They 
say unto him, Yea, Lord. 

52 Then said he unto them. There- 
fore every scribe which is instructed 
unto the kingdom of lieaven, is like 
unto a man that is a householder, 
which bringeth forth out of his trea- 
sure ^.things new and old. 

53 TIAnd it came to pass, that 
when Jesus had finished these para- 
bles, he departed thence. 

54 J^And when he was come into 
his own country, he taught them in 

I their synagogue, insomuch that they 

were astonished, and said, Whence 
hath this man this wisdom, and these 
mighty works ? 

55 ^Is not this the carpenter's son ? 
is not his mother called Mary? and 
this brethren, "James, and Joses, and 
Simon, and Judas ? 

56 And his sisters, are they not all 
with us ? Whence then hath this man 
all these things ? 

57 And they ^^were offended in 
him. But Jesus said unto them, 
yA prophet is not without honour, 
save in his own country, and in his 
own house. 

58 And ^he did not many mighty 
works there, because of their unbe-

I Herod's opinion of Christ. 3 Wherefore John 
Baptist icas beheaded. 13 Jesus departeth iiito a 
desertplace : 15 tchere he feedeth Jive thousand 
men with Jive loaves and twojishes : 22 Ue walk- 
eth on the sea to his disciples : 34 and landiiig at 
Gennesaret, heaZeth the sick by the touch of the 
hem of his garment. 

AT that time ^Herod theTetrarch 
heard of the fame of Jesus, 

2 And said unto his servants. This 
is John the Baptist; he is risen from 
the dead ; and therefore mighty works 

II do shew forth themselves in him. 

3 TI^For Herod had laid hold on 
John, and bound him, and put him 
in prison for Herodias' salve, his bro- 
ther Philip's wife.

4 For John said unto him, "^It is 
not lawful for thee to have her. 

5 And when he would have put him 
to death, he feared the multitude, <^ be- 
cause they counted him as a prophet. 

6 But when Herod's birth-day v/as 
kept, the daughter of Herodias danc- 
ed f before them, and pleased Herod. 

7 Whereupon he promised with an 
oath to give her whatsoever she 
would ask. 

8 And she, bemg before instructed 
of her mother, said, Give me here 
John Baptist's head in a charger. 

9 And the king was sorry: never- 
theless for the oath's sake, and them 
which sat with him at meat, he com- 
manded it to be given her. 

10 And he sent, and beheaded John 
in the prison. 

1 1 And his head was brought in a 
charger, and given to the damsel : 
and she brought it to her mother. 

12 And his disciples came, and took 
up the body, and buried it, and went 
and told Jesus. 

13 II t^ When Jesus heard of it, he 
departed thence by ship into a desert 
place apart: and Avhen the people 
had heard thereof, they followed him 
on foot out of the cities. 

14 And Jesus went forth, and saw 
a great multitude, and '" was moved 
with compassion toward them, andi 
lie healed tlieir sick. 

15 1[e And when it was evening, his 
disciples came to him, saying. This 
is a desert place, and the time is now 
past; send the multitude away, that 
they may go into the villages, and 
buy themselves victuals. 

IG But Jesus said unto them. They 
need not depart; give ye them to eat. 

17 And they say unto him. We have 
here but five loaves, and two fishes. 

18 He said. Bring them hither to 
me. 

19 And he commanded the multi- 
tude to sit down on the grass, and 
took the five loaves, and the two 
fishes, and looking up to heaven, hhe 
blessed, and brake, and gave the 
loaves to his disciples, and the dis- 
ciples to the multitude. 

20 And they did all eat, and were 
filled : and they took up of the frag- 
ments that remained twelve baskets 
full.

21 And they that had eaten were 
about five thousand men, besides wo- 
men and children. 

22 TIAnd straightway Jesus con- 
strained his disciples to get into a 
ship, and to go before him unto the 
other side, Avhile he sent the multi- 
tudes away. 

23 'And when he had sent the 
multitudes away, he went up into a 
mountain apart to pray: i^and when 
the evening was come, he was there 
alone. 

24 But the ship was now in the 
midst of the sea, tossed with waves : 
for the wind was contrary. 

25 And in the fourth watch of the 
night Jesus went unto them, walking 
on the sea. 

2G And when the disciples saw him 
'walking on the sea, they were trou- 
bled, saying. It is a spirit ; and they 
cried out for fear. 

27 But straightway Jesus spake un- 
to them, saying. Be of good cheer; it 
is I ; be not afraid. 

28 And Peter answered him and 
said. Lord, if it be thou, bid me come 
unto thee on the water. 

29 And he said, Come. And when 
Peter was come down out of the 
ship, he walked on the water, to go 
to Jesus. 

30 Butwhcn he sawthewind |1 bois- 
terous, he was afraid ; and beginning 
to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save 
me. 

31 And immediately Jesus stretch- 
ed forth Jtis hand, and caught him, 
and said unto him, O thou of little 
faith, wherefore didst thou doubt \ 

32 And when they were come into 
the ship, the wind ceased. 

33 Then they that were in the ship 
came and worshipped him, saying. Of 
a trutii '"thou art the Son of God. 

34 "H" And when they Mere gone 
over, they came into the land of 
Gennesaret. 

35 And when the men of that place 
had knowledge of him, they sent out 
into all that country- round about, 
and brought unto him all that were 
diseased ; 

36 And besought him that they 
might only touch the hem of his gar- 
ment : and ° as many as touched wer&

TJie Pharisees reproved. 
CHAP. XV. 

3 Christ reproveth the scribes and Pharisees for 
transgressing God's commandments through 
their own traditions : 11 teacheth how that 
which goeth into the mouth doth not defile a 
man. 21 He liealeth the daughter of the wo- 
man of Canaan, 30 aTid other great multitudes : 
32 and with seven loaves and a few little fishes 
feedeth four thousand men, besides women, and 
children. 

THEN ''came to Jesus scribes 
and Pharisees, which were of 
Jerusalem, saying, 

2 ''Why do thy disciples transgress 
•=the tradition of the elders? for they 
wash not their hands when they eat 
bread. 

3 But he answered and said unto 
them, Why do ye also transgress the 
commandment of God by your tra- 
dition? 

4 For God commanded, saying, 
•i Honour thy father and mother: 
and, ^He that curseth father or mo- 
ther, let him die the death. 

5 But ye say. Whosoever shall say 
to his father or his mother, ^ It is a 
gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be 
profited by me ; 

6 And honour not his father or his 
mother, he shall be free. Thus have 
ye made the commandment of God 
of none effect by your tradition. 

7 eYe hypocrites, well did Esaias 
prophesy of you, saying, 

8 i^This people draweth nigh unto 
me with their mouth, and honoureth 
me with their lips; but their heart 
is far from me. 

P But in vain they do worship me, 
■teaching for doctrines the com- 
mandments of men. 

10 TIi^And he called the multitude, 
and said unto them. Hear, and under- 
stand : 

1 1 ' Not that which goeth into the 
mouth defileth a man ; but that which 
cometh out of the mouth, this defileth 
a man. 

12 Then came his disciples, and 
said unto him, Knowest thou that the 
Pharisees were offended after they 
heard this saying? 

13 But he answered and said, 
"1 Every plant, which my heavenly 
Father hath not planted, shall be 
rooted up. 

14 Let them alone: "they be blind 
leaders of the Wind. And if the blind 
lead the blind, both shall fall into the 
ditch.

S. MATTHEW. The Canaanite's daughter healed 

15 "Then answered Peter and said 
unto him. Declare unto us this pa- 
rable. 

16 And Jesus said, PAre ye also 
yet without understanding? 

17 Do not ye yet understand, that 
q whatsoever entereth in at the mouth 
goeth into the belly, and is cast out 
into the draught? 

18 But "■ those things which proceed 
out of the mouth come forth from 
the heart ; and they defile the man. 

19 2 For out of the heart proceed 
evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,, 
fornications, thefts, false witness, 
blasphemies : 

20 These are the things which de- 
file a man: but to eat with unwash- 
en hands defileth not a man. 

21 ^'Then Jesus went thence, and 
departed into the coasts of Tyre and 
Sidon. 

22 And behold, a woman of Ca- 
naan came out of the same coasts, 
and cried unto him, saying, Have 
mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of 
David ; my daughter is grievously 
vexed with a devil. 

23 But he answered her not a word. 
And his disciples came and besought 
him, saying. Send her away; for she 
crieth after us. 

24 But he answered and said, "I 
am not sent but unto the lost sheep 
of the house of Israel. 

25 Then came she and worshipped 
him, saying, Lord, help me. 

26 But he answered and said. It is 
not meet to take the children's bread 
and to cast it to ''dogs. 

27 And she said, Truth, Lord : yet 
the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall 
from their masters' table. 

28 Then Jesus answered and said 
unto her, O woman, great is thy 
faith: be it unto thee even as thou 
wilt. And her daughter was made 
whole from that very hour. 

29 yAnd Jesus departed from 
thence, and came nigh ^unto the sea 
of Galilee ; and went up into a moun- 
tain, and sat down there. . 

30 =1 And great multitudes came un- 
to him, having with them those that 
were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and 
many others, and cast them down at 
Jesus' feet ; and he healed them :

ples unto him, and said, I have com- 
passion on the multitude, because 
they continue with me now three 
days, and have nothing to eat : and 
I will not send them away fasting, 
lest they faint in the way. 

33 c And his disciples say unto him,

bread in the wilderness, as to fill so 
great a multitude ? 

34 And Jesus saith unto them. How 
many loaves have ye ? And they said, 
Seven, and a few little fishes. 

35 And he commanded the multi- 
tude to sit down on the ground. 

36 And ''he took the seven loaves 
and the fishes, and 'gave thanks, and 
brake them, and gave to his disciples, 
and the disciples to the multitude.

filled : and they took up of the bro-

come to the other side, they had for- 
gotten to take bi-ead. 

6 ^Then Jesus said unto them, 
•^Take heed and beware of the leaven 
of the Pharisees andoftheSadducees. 

7 And they reasoned among them- 
selves, saying, It is because we have 
taken no bread. 

8 'Which when Jesus perceived, he 
said unto them, O ye of little faith, 
why reason ye among yourselves, be- 
cause ye have brought no bread 1 

9 ^Do ye not yet understand, nei- 
ther remember the five loaves of the

stand that I spake it not to you con- 
cerning bread, that ye should beware 
of the leaven of the Pharisees and of 
the Sadducees? 

12 Then understood they how that 
he bade them not beware of the lea- 
ven of bread, but of the doctrine of 
the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 

13 HWhen Jesus came into the 
coasts of Cesarea Philippi, he asked 
his disciples, saying, sWho do men 
say that I, the Son of man, am ? 

14 And they said, ^Some say that 
thou art John the Baptist : some, 
Elias ; and others, Jeremias, or one 
of the prophets.

say ye that I am i 

16 And Simon Peter answered and 
said, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of 
the living God. 

17 And Jesus answered and said 
unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon 
Bar-jona : ''for flesh and blood hath 
not revealed it unto thee, but 'my 
Father which is in heaven. 

18 And I say also unto thee. That

The transfiguration of Christ. S 

20 iThen charged he his disciples 
that they should tell no man that he 
was Jesus the Christ, 

21 TfFrom that time forth began 
Jesus ^to shew unto his disciples, how 
that he must go unto Jerusalem, and 
suffer many tilings of the elders, and 
chief priests, and sci'ibes, and be kill- 
ed, and be raised again the third day. 

22 Then Peter took him, and began 
to rebuke him, saying, ■\ Be it far 
from thee, Lord: this shall not be 
unto thee. 

23 But he turned, and said unto 
Peter, Get thee behind me, ^ Satan ; 
* thou art an offence unto me : for 
thou savourest not the things that 
be of God, but those that be of men. 

24 "[["Then said Jesus unto his 
disciples. If any man will come after 
me, let him deny himself, and take 
up his cross, and follow me, 

25 For ^whosoever will save his life, 
shall lose it : and whosoever v/ill lose 
his life for my sake, shall find it. 

26 For what is a man profited, if he 
shall gain the whole world, and lose 
his own soul ? or y what shall a man 
give in exchange for his soul ? 

27 For nhe Son of man shall come 
in the glory of his Father, ''^with his 
angels ; ^ and then he shall reward 
every man according to his works.

of man shall be betrayed into the

23 And they shall kill him, and the 
third day he shall be raised again.

vented him, saying. What thinkest 
thou, Simon ? of whom do the kings 
of the earth take custom or tribute ? 
of their own children, or of strangers?

he were drowned in the depth of the 
sea. 

7 1 Wo unto the world because of 
offences! for It must needs be that 
offences come ; but Swo to that man 
by whom tlie offence cometh ! 

8 ■> Wherefore, if thy hand or thy 
foot offend thee, cut them off, and 
cast them from thee ; it is better for 
thee to enter into life halt or maimed, 
rather than having two hands or two 
feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. 

9 Andif thine eye offend thee, pluck 
it out, and cast it from thee : it is 
better for thee to enter into life with 
one eye, rather than having two eyes, 
to be cast into hell-fire, 

10 Take heed that ye despise not 
one of these httle ones: for I say un- 
to you, That in heaven 'their angels 
do always i^ behold the face of my 
Father which is in heaven. 

1 1 ' For the Son of man is come to 
save that which was lost. 

12 ""How think ye ? If a man have 
a hundred sheep, and one of them 
be gone astray, doth he not leave the 
ninety and nine, and goeth into the 
mountains, and seeketh that which is 
gone astray ? 

13 And if so be that he find it, ve- 
rily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more 
of that sheep, than of the ninety and 
nine which went not astray. 

14 Even so it is not the will of your 
Father which is in heaven, that one 
of these litde ones should perish. 

1 5 Tf Moreover, " if tliy brother shall 
trespass against thee, go and tell him 
his fault between thee and him alone : 
if he shall hear thee, ° thou hast gain- 
ed thy brother. 

16 But if he will not hear thee, then 
take with thee one or two more, that 
in P the mouth of two or three witness- 
es every word may be established, 

17 And if he shall neglect to hear 
them, tell it unto the church ; but if 
he neglect to hear the church, let 
him be unto thee as a q heathen man 
and a publican. 

18 Verily,! say unto you, ''Whatso- 
ever ye shall bind on earth, shall be 
bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye 
shall loose on earth, shall be loosed 
in heaven. 

19 8 Again I say unto you, That if 

951 



Tlie unmerciful servant. S 

two of you shall agree on earth, as 
touching any thing that they shall 
ask, tit shall be done for them of my 
Father Avhich is in heaven. 
! 20 For where two or three are ga- 
thered together in my name, there 
am I in the midst of them. 

21 H Then came Peter to him, and 
said. Lord, how oft shall my brother 
sin against me, and I forgive him ? 
"till seven times 1 

22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not 
unto thee, Until seven times : ^but, 
Until seventy times seven. 

23 TI Therefore is the kingdom of 
heaven likened unto a certain king 
which would take account of his ser- 
vants. 

24 And when hehad begun to reckon, 
one was brought unto him which 
owed him ten thousand |j talents. 

25 But forasmuch as he had not to 
pay, his lord commanded him y to be 
sold, and his wife and children, and 
all that he had, and payment to be 
made. 

26 The servant therefore fell down, 
and II worshipped him, saying. Lord, 
have patience with me, and I will pay 
thee all. 

27 Then the lord of that servant was 
moved with compassion, and loosed 
him, and forgave him the debt. 

28 But the same servant went out, 
and found one of his fellow-servants, 
which owed him a hundred || pence : 
and he laid hands on him, and took 
him by the throat, saying, Pay me 
that thou owest. 

29 And his fellow-servant fell dovm 
at his feet, and besought him, say- 
ing, Have patience with me, and I 
will pay thee all. 

30 And he would not : but went 
and cast him into prison, till he 
should pay the debt. 

31 So when his fellow-servants saw 
what was done, they were very sorry, 
and came and told unto their lord all 
that wa^ done. 

32 Then his lord, after that he had 
called him, said unto him, O thou 
wicked servant, I forgave thee all that 
debt, because thou desiredst me : 

33 Shouldest not thou also have 
had compassion on thy fellow-ser- 
vant, even as I had pity on thee ? 

34 And his lord was wroth, and de-

CHAP. XIX. 

2 Christ healeih the sick : 3 answeretJi the Phari- 
sees concerning- divorcement : 10 sheweth when 
marriage is necessary : 13 receiveth little chil- 
dren: 16 instrvcteth the young man hoiii to at- 
tain eternal life, 20 and how to be perfect : 23 
tellcth his disciples how hard it is for a richman 
to enter into the kingdom, of God, 27 and pro- 
miseth reward to those that forsake any thing 
to follow him. 

ND it came to pass, ^that when 
Jesus had finished these say- 
ings, he departed from Galilee, and 
came into the coasts of Judea, be- 
yond Jordan : 

2 ''And great multitudes followed 
him, and he healed them there. 

3 "il The Pharisees also came unto 
him, tempting him, and saying unto 
him. Is it lawful for a man to put 
away his wife for every cause ? 

4 And he answered and said unto 
them, Have ye not read, <=that he 
which made them at the beginning, 
made them male and female, 

5 And said, ^Yox this cause shall 
a man leave father and mother, and 
shall cleave to his wife : and ^they 
twain shall be one flesh 1 t 

6 Wherefore they are no more twain, 
but one flesh. What therefore God 
hath joined together, let not man put 
asunder. 

7 They say unto him, f Why did Mo- 
ses then command to give awritingof 
divorcement, and to put her away ? 

8 He saith unto them, Moses, be- 
cause of the hardness of your hearts, 
suffered you to put away your wives : 
but from the beginning it was not so. 

9 g And I say unto you. Whosoever 
shall put away his wife, except it be 
for fornication, and shall marry an- 
other, committeth adultery : and who- 
so marrieth her which is put away, 
doth commit adultery. 

10 TIHis disciples say unto him, 
■^If the case of the man be so with 
his wife, it is not good to marry. 

11 But he said unto them, 'All men 
cannot receive this saying, save they 
to whom it is given.

to him little children, that he should

the disciples rebuked them. 

14 But Jesus said. Suffer little chil- 
dren, and forbid them not, to come 
unto me : for "» of such is the king- 
dom of heaven. 

15 And he laid his hands on them, 
and departed thence.

said unto him, ° Good Master, w hat 
good thing shall I do that I may have

17 And he said unto him. Why call- 
est thou me good ? there is none good 
but one, that is, God: but if thou 
wilt enter into life, keep the com 
mandments.

youth up: what lack 1 yet?

22 But when the young man heard 
that saying, he went away sorrowful :

kingdom of heaven.

easier for a camel to go through the 
eye of a needle, than for a rich man 
to enter into the kingdom of God. 

25 When his disciples heard 77, 
they were exceedingly amazed, say- 
ing, Who then can be saved ? 

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said 
unto them, With men this is impos- 
sible, but " with God all things are

1 Christ, by the simililude of the labovrers in the 
vineyard, sheiceth th/tt God is debtor unto no 
man: \7 foret^Uethhix passion: '20 bi/ ansirer- 
ing- the rnotlicr of Zcbedee's children ieachetk 
his disciples to be lowly : 30 and g-ireth two 
blind men their sight. 

FOR the kingdom of heaven is 
like unto a man that is a house- 
holder, which went out early in the 
morning to hire labourers into his 
vineyard. 

2 And Avlien he had agreed with the 
labourers for a 1| penny a day, he sent 
them into his vineyard. 

3 And he went out about the third 
hour, and saw others standing idle 
in tlie market-place, 

4 And said unto them. Go ye also 
into the vineyard ; and whatsoever is 
right, I will give you. And they 
went their way. 

5 Again he went out about the sixth 
and ninth hour, and did likewise. 

G And about the eleventh hour he 
went out, and found others standing 
idle, and saith unto them. Why stand 
ye here all the day idle ? 

7 They say unto him, Because no 
man hath hired us. He saith unto 
them. Go ye also into the vineyard ; 
and whatsoever is right, that shall ye 
receive. 

8 So when evening was come, the 
lord of the vineyard saith unto his 
steward, Call the labourers, and give 
them their hire, beginning from the 
last unto the first. 

9 And when they came that were 
hired about the eleventh hour, they 
received every man a penny. 

953 



Jesus foretelleth Ms own passion. S 

10 But when the first came, they 
supposed that they should have re- 
ceived more ; and they Hkevvrige re- 
ceived every man a penny. 

1 1 And when they had received it, 
they murmured against the good 
man of the house, 

12 Saying,These last || have wrought 
but one hour, and thou hast made 
them equal unto us, which have borne 
the burden and heat of the day. 

13 But he answered one of them, 
and said. Friend, I do thee no wrong : 
didst not thou agree with me for a 
penny ? 

14 Take that thine is, and go thy 
way : I will give unto this last, even 
as unto thee. 

15 a Is it not lawful for me to do 
what I will with mine own 1 ^is thine 
eye evil because I am good? 

16 <= So the last shall be first, and 
the first last: <ifor many be called, 
but few chosen. 

17 TfeAnd Jesus going up to Jeru 
salem, took the twelve disciples apart 
in the way, and said unto them, 

18 f Behold, we go up to Jerusa 
lem; and the Son of man shall be 
betrayed unto the chief priests, and 
unto the scribes, and they shall con- 
demn him to death, 

19 sAnd shall deliver him to the 
Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, 
and to crucify him: and the third 
day he shall rise again. 

20 Tlt^Then came to him the mother 
of 'Zebedee's children, with her sons, 
worshipping him, and desiring a cer- 
tain thing of him. 

21 And he said unto her, What wilt 
thou? She saith unto him, Grantthat 
these my two sons ^ may sit, the one 
on thy right hand, and the other on 
the left, in thy kingdom. 

22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye 
know not what ye ask. Are ye able 
to drink of 'the cup that I shall drink 
of, and to be baptized with "> the bap- 
tism that I am baptized with ? They 
say unto him. We are able. 

23 And he saith unto them, " Ye 
shall drink indeed of my cup, and be 
baptized with the baptism that I am 
baptized with : but, to sit on my right 
hand, and on my left, is not mine to 
Ogive, but it shall be given to them for 
whom it is prepared of my Father.

MATTHEW. He giveth sight to two blind men. 

24 P And when the ten heard it, they 
were moved with indignation against 
the two brethren. 

25 But Jesus called them unto him, 
and said. Ye know that the princes 
of the Gentiles exercise dominion 
over them, and they that are great 
exercise authority upon them. 

26 But q it shall not be so among 
you: but >■ whosoever will be great 
among you, let him be your minis- 
ter ; 

27 s And whosoever will be chief 
among you, let him be your servant : 

28 tEven as the "Son of man came 
not to be ministered unto, ^but to 
minister, and yto give his life a ran- 
som 2 for many. 

29 a And as they departed from Je- 
richo, a great multitude followed him. 

30 "U And behold, *> two blind men 
sitting by the way-side, when they 
heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, 
saying. Have mercy on us, O Lord, 
thou son of David. 

31 And the multitude rebuked them, 
because they should hold their peace: 
but they cried the more, saying, 
Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou 
son of David. 

32 And Jesus stood still, and called 
them, and said. What will ye that I 
shall do unto you ? 

33 They say unto him, Lord, that 
our eyes may be opened. 

34 So Jesus had compassion on 
them, and touched their eyes: and 
immediately their eyes received sight, 
and they followed him.

He curseth the barren Jig-tree. 
thing thereon, but leaves only, and 
said unto it. Let no fruit grow on thee 
henceforward for ever. And pre- 
sently the fig-tree withered away. 

20 t And when the disciples saw it, 
they marvelled, saying. How soon is 
the fig-tree withered away ! 

21 Jesus answered and said unto 
them. Verily, I say unto you, "If ye 
have faith, and ''doubt not, ye shall 
not only do this which is done to the 
fig-tree, >but also, if ye shall say unto 
this mountain. Be thou removed, and 
be thou cast into the sea ; it shall be 
done. 

22 And z all things whatsoever ye 
shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall 
receive. 

23 H =iAnd when he was come into 
the temple, the chief priests and the 
elders of the people came unto him as 
he was teaching, and ''said. By what 
authority doest thou these things ? 
and who gave thee this authority ? 

24 And Jesus answered and said un- 
to them, I also will ask you one thing, 
which if ye tell me, I in like wise will 
tell you by what authority I do these 
things. 

25 The baptism of John, whence 
was it? from heaven, orof men? And 
they reasoned with themselves, say- 
ing. If we shall say, From heaven ; 
he will say unto us, Why did ye not 
then believe him ? 

20 But if we shall say, Of men ; we 
fear the people: "^for all hold John 
as a prophet. 

27 And they answered Jesus, and 
said, We cannot tell. And he said 
unto tliem, Neither tell I you by what 
authority I do these things. 

28 Tl But what think ye ? A certain 
man had two sons ; and he came to 
the first, and said. Son, go work to- 
day in my vineyard. 

29 He answered and said, I will 
not ; but afterward he repented, and 
went. 

30 And he came to the second, and 
said likewise. And he answered and 
said, I go, sir : and went not. 

31 Whether of them twain did the 
will of /as father? They sayunto him, 
The first. Jesus saith unto them, 
e Verily I say unto you. That the 
publicans and the harlots go into the 
kingdom of God before you. 

955 



Parable of the wicked husbandmen. S 

32 For f John came unto you in the 
way of righteousness, and ye beheved 
him not: ffbut the pubUcans and the 
harlots beUeved him : and ye, when 
ye had seen it, repented not after- 
ward, that ye might beheve him. 

33 T[Hear another parable ; There 
was a certain householder, ''which 
planted a vineyard, and hedged it 
round about, and digged a wine-press 
in it, and built a tower, and let it out 
to husbandmen, and 'went into a far 
country : 

34 And when the time of the fruit 
drew near, he sent his servants to the 
husbandmen, '^that they might re- 
ceive the fruits of it. 

35 'And the husbandmen took his 
servants, and beat one, and killed an- 
other, and stoned another. 

36 Again he sent other servants 
more than the first : and they did un- 
to them likewise. 

37 But last of all, he sent unto them 
his son, saying. They will reverence 
my son. 

38 But when the husbandmen saw 
the son, they said among themselves, 
"•This is the heir; "come, let us kill 
him, and let us seize on his inherit 
ance. 

39 oAnd they caught him, and cast 
him outof the vineyard, and slew him. 

40 When the lord therefore of the 
vineyard cometh, what will he doun 
to those husbandmen 1 

41 PThey say unto him, qHe will 
miserably destroy those wicked men, 
^ and will let out his vineyard unto 
other husbandmen, which shall ren- 
der him the fruits in their seasons. 

42 Jesus saith unto them, ^Did ye 
never read in the scriptures. The stone 
which the builders rejected, the same 
is become the head of the corner 
this is the Lord's doing, and it is mar- 
vellous in our eyes ? 

43 Therefore say I unto you, * The 
kingdom of God shall be taken from 
you, and given to a nation bringing 
forth the fruits thereof. 

44 And whosoever "shall fall on this 
stone, shall be broken : but on whom- 
soever it shall fall, * it will grind him 
to powder. 

45 And when the chief priests and 
Pharisees had heard his parables,they 
perceived that he spake of them.

TVie parable of the marriage of the Hng''s son. 
9 Tlic vocation of the Gentiles. 12 The ptmish- 
ment of him that wanted the wedding garment. 
15 Tribute ought to be paid to Cesar. 23 Christ 
confuteth the iiadduceesforthe resurrection : 34 
answereth the lawyer, which is the first and 
great commandment : 41 and poseih the Phari- 
sees about the Messias. 

ND Jesus answered =^and spake 
unto them again by parables, 
and said, 

2 The kingdom of heaven is like 
unto a certain king, which made a 
marriage for his son, 

3 And sent forth his servants to call 
them that were bidden to the wed- 
ding : and they would not come. 

4 Again, he sent forth other servants, 
saying. Tell them which are bidden, 
Behold, I have prepared my dinner : 
^ my oxen and my fatlings are killed, 
and all things are ready: come unto 
the marriage. 

5 But they made light of it, and 
went their ways, one to his farm, an- 
other to his merchandise. 

6 And the remnant took his ser- 
vants, and entreated them spitefully, 
and slew them. 

7 But when the king heard thereof, 
he was wroth : and he sent forth <=hjs 
armies, and destroyed those murder- 
ers, and burned up their city. 

8 Then saith he to his servants. The 
wedding is ready, but they which 
were bidden were not •! worthy. 

9 Go ye therefore into the high- 
ways, and as many as ye shall find, 
bid to the marriage. 

10 So those servants went out into 
the highways, and <= gathered together 
all as many as they found, both bad 
and good : and the wedding was fur- 
nished with guests. 

1 1 Tf And when the king came in 
to see i^he guests, he saw there a man 
f'^'^hich had not on a wedding-gar- 
ment : 

12 And he saith unto him. Friend, 
how camest thou in hither, not hav- 
ing a wedding-garment ? And he 
was speechless. 

13 Then said the king to the ser- 
vants. Bind him hand and foot, and 
take him away, and cast him zmio

14 ''For many are called, but few 
are chosen. 

1 5 IF ' Then went the Pharisees, and 
took counsel how they might entan- 
gle him in his talk. 

16 And they sent out unto him their 
disciples, with the Herodians, saying, 
Master, we know that thou art true, 
and teachest the way of God in truth, 
neither carest thou for any man : for 
thou regardest not the person of men. 

17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest 
thou ? Is it lawful to give tribute un- 
to Cesar, or not ? 

18 But Jesus perceived their wick- 
edness, and said, Why tempt ye me, 
ye hypocrites ? 

19 Shew me the tribute-money. 
And they brought unto him a || penny. 

20 And he saith unto them, Whose 
is this image, and || superscription ? 

21 They say unto him, Cesar's. 
Then saith he unto them, ''Render 
therefore unto Cesar, tiie things 
which are Cesar's ; and unto God, 
the things that are God's. 

22 When they had heard these 
words, they marvelled, and left him, 
and went their way. 

23 H 'The same day came to him 
the .Sadducees,"' which say that there 
is no resurrection, and asked him, 

24 Saying, Master, "Moses said. If 
a man die, having no children, his 
brother shall marry his wife, and raise 
up seed unto his brother. 

25 Now, there were with us seven 
brethren : and the first, when he had 
married a wife, deceased ; and having 
no issue, left his wife unto his brother. 

26 Likewise the second also, and 
the third, unto the f seventh. 

27 And last of all the woman died 
also. 

28 Therefore, in the resui-^ction, 
whose wife shall she be of the seven? 
for they all had her. 

29 Jesus answered and said unto 
them, Ye do err, Pnot knowing the 
scriptures, nor the power of God. 

30 For in the resurrection they 
neither marr}', nor are given in mar- 
riage, but 1 are as the angels of God 
in heaven.

saying, 

32 '•I am the God of Abraham, and

34 H ^But when the Pharisees had 
heard that he had put the Sadducees

35 Then one of them which was 
"a lawyer, asked hiin a question, 
tempting him, and saying, 

36 Master, which is the great com- 
mandment in the law ? 

37 Jesus said unto him, ^Thou shalt 
love the Lord thy God with all thy 
heart, and with all thy soul, and with 
all thy mind. 

38 This is the first and great com- 
mandment. 

39 And the second is like unto it, 
yThou shalt love thy neighbour as 
thyself. 

40 ^On these two commandments 
hang all the law and the prophets. 

41 TI'^ While the Pharisees were ga- 
thered together, Jesus asked them, 

42 Saying, What think ye of Christ ? 
whose son is he ? They say unto him, 
The son of David. 

43 He saith unto them. How then 
doth David in spirit call him Lord, 
saying,

Sit thou on my right hand, till I make 
thine enemies thy footstool ? 

45 If David then call him Lord, how 
is he his son ?

him a word, e neither durst any man,

neither suffer ye them that are enter- 
ing, to go in. 

14 Wo unto you, scribes and Pha- 
risees, hj^pocrites ! ™for ye devour 
widows' houses, and for a pretence 
make long prayer: therefore ye shall 
receive the greater damnation. 

15 Wo unto you, scribes and Pha- 
risees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea 
and land to make one proselyte ; and 
when he is made, ye make him two- 
fold more the child of hell than your- 
selves. 

16 Wo unto you, "7/e blind guides ! 
which say, "Whosoever shall swear 
by the temple, it is nothing ; but 
whosoever shall swear by the gold of 
the temple, he is a debtor. 

\1 Ye fools, and blind! for whether 
is greater, the gold, Por the temple 
that sanctifieth the gold ? 

18 And whosoever shall swear by 
the altar, it is nothing ; but whoso- 
ever sweareth by the gift that is upon 
it, he is ^ I guilty.

MATTHEW, against the scribes and Pharisees. 

19 Ye fools, and blind 1 for whether 
is greater, the gift, or qthe altar that 
sanctifieth the gift ? 

20 Whoso therefore shall swear by 
the altar, sweareth by it, and by all 
things thereon. 

21 And whoso shall swear by the 
temple, sweareth by it, and by ""him 
that dwelleth therein. 

22 And he that shall swear by hea- 
ven, sweareth by ^the throne of God, 
and by him that sitteth thereon. 

23 Wo unto you, scribes and Pha- 
risees, hypocrites ! tfor ye pay tithe 
of mint, and f anise, and cummin, and 
"have omitted the weightier matters 
of the law, judgment, mercy, and 
faith : these ought ye to have done, 
and not to leave the other undone. 

24 Ye blind guides, which strain at 
a gnat, and swallow a camel. 

25 Wo unto you, scribes and Pha- 
risees, hypocrites ! ^for ye make clean 
the outside of the cup and of the plat- 
ter, but within they are full of extor- 
tion and excess. 

26 Thou Wind Pharisee, cleanse first 
that which is within the cup and plat- 
ter, that the outside of them may be 
clean also. 

27 Wo unto you, scribes and Pha- 
risees, hypocrites ! yfor ye are like 
unto whited sepulchres, which indeed 
appear beautiful outward, but are 
within full of dead men's bones, and 
of all uncleanness. 

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear 
righteous unto men, but within ye are 
full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 

29 2; Wo unto you, scribes and Pha- 
risees, hypocrites ! because ye build 
the tombs of the prophets, and gar- 
nish the sepulchres of the righteous, 

30 And say. If we had been in the 
days of our fathers, we would nothave 
been partakers with them in the blood 
of the prophets. 

31 Wherefore, ye be witnesses unto 
yourselves, that ^ye are the children 
of them which killed the prophets. 

32 •'Fill ye up then the measure of 
your fathers.

The signs of Christ's coming. S. MATTHEW, 

you, Behold, he is in the desert ; go 
not forth : behold, he is in the secret 
chambers ; believe it not. 

27 t>For as the lightning cometh out 
of the east, and shineth even unto the 
west ; so shall also the coming of the 
Son of man be. 

28 <^For wheresoever the carcass is, 
there will the eagles be gathered to- 
gether. 

29 in "i Immediately after the tribu- 
lation of those days, <= shall the sun 
be darkened, and the moon shall not 
give her light, and the stars shall fall 
from heaven, and the powers of the 
heavens shall be shaken : 

30 fAnd then shall appear the sign 
of the Son of man in heaven: ffand 
then shall all the tribes of the earth 
mourn, ^and they shall see the Son 
of man coming in the clouds of hea- 
ven with powe»and great glory. 

31 'And he shall send his 
11 with a great sound of a trumpet, 
and they shall gather together his 
elect from the four winds, from one 
end of heaven to the other. 

32 Now learn '^ a parable of the fig- 
tree ; When his branch is yet tender, 
and putteth forth leaves, ye know 
that summer is nigh : 

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall 
see all these things, know Hhat l|it 
is near, even at the doors. 

34 Verily I say unto you, '"This 
generation shall not pass, till all these 
things be fulfilled. 

35 "Heaven and earth shall pass 
away, but my words shall not pass 
away. 

36 "^"But o,f that day and hour 
knoweth no man, no, not the angels 
of heaven, Pbut my Father only. 

37 But as the days of Noe were, so 
shall also the coming of the Son of 
man be. 

38 iFor as in the days that were 
before the flood, they were eating 
and drinking, marrying and giving 
in marriage, until the day that Noe 
entered into the ark, 

39 And knew not until the flood 
came, and took them all away : so 
shall also the coming of the Son of 
man be.

the one shall be taken, and the other 
left.

not what hour your Lord doth come. 

43 ^But know this, that if the good 
man of the house had known in what 
watch the thief would come,hewould 
have watched, and would not have 
suffered his house to be broken up. 

44 "Therefore be ye also ready: 
for in such an hour as ye think not, 
the Son of man cometh. 

45 ^Who then is a faithful and 
wise servant, whom his lord hath 
made ruler over his household, to 
give them meat in due season ? 

46 y Blessed is that servant, whom 
his lord, when he cometh, shall find 
so doing. 

47 Verily, I say unto you. That ^he 
shall make him ruler over all his 
goods. 

48 But and if that evil servant 
shall say in his heart, My lord de- 
layeth his coming ; 

49 And shall begin to smite his fel- 
low-servants, and to eat and drink 
with the drunken ; 

50 The lord of that servant shall 
come in a day when he looketh not 
for him, and in an hour that he is 
not aware of, 

51 And shall H cut him asunder, 
and appoint hi?n his portion with the 
h}'pocrites : ^^there shall be weeping

talents. 31 Also the description of the last 
judgment. 

THEN shall the kingdom of hea- 
ven be likened unto ten virgins, 
which took their lamps, and went 
forth to meet ^^the bridegroom. 

2 ^And five of them were wise, and 
five were foolish. 

3 They that were foolish took their 
lamps, and took no oil with them : 

4 But the wise took oil in their 
vessels with their lamps. 

5 While the bridegroom tarried, 
=they all slumbered and slept. 

6 And at midnight «! there was a 
cry made. Behold, the bridegroom 
cometh ; go ye out to meet him. 

7 Then all those virgins arose, and 
e trimmed their lamps. 

8 And the foolish said unto the wise,

9 But the wise answered, saying, 
Not so; lest there be not enough for 
us and you : but go ye rather to them 
that sell, and buy for yourselves. 

10 And while they went to buy, the 
bridegroom came; and they that 
Mere ready, went in with him to the 
marriage: and ^the door was shut. 

11 Afterward came also the other 
virgins, saying, eLord, Lord, open 
to us. 

12 But he answered and said, Ve- 
rily, I say unto you, ^I know you not. 

13 'Watch therefore, for ye know 
neither the day nor the hour wherein 
the Son of man cometh. 

14 U^For the kingdom of heaven is 
'as a man travelling into a far coun- 
try', who called his own servants, and 
delivered unto them his goods. 

15 And unto one he gave five |1 ta- 
lents, to another two, and to another 
one ; '" to eveiy man according to his 
several ability; and straightway took 
his journey. 

16 Then he that had received the 
five talents, went and traded with the 
same, and made them other five ta- 
lents. 

17 And likewise lie tlial had receiv- 
ed two, he also gained other two. 

18 But he that had received one, 
went and digged in the earth, and hid 
his lord's money. 

19 After a long time the lord of 
those servants cometh, and reckon- 
eth with them. 

20 And so he that had received five 
talents, came and brought other five 
talents, saying. Lord, tiiou deliver- 
edst unto me five talents: behold, I 
have gained besides them five talents 
more. 

21 His lord said unto him. Well 
done, thou good and faithful sen'ant ; 
thou hast been faithful over a few 
things, "I will make thee ruler over 
many things: enter thou into "the 
joy of thy lord. 

22 He also that had received two 
talents came, and said, Lord, thou de- 
liveredst unto me two talents : be- 
hold, I have gained two other talents 
besides them.

hast been faithful over a few things, 
I will make thee ruler over many 
things : enter thou into the joy of thy 
lord. 

24 Then he which had received the 
one talent came, and said. Lord, I 
knew thee that thou art a hard man, 
reaping where thou hast not sown, 
and gathering where thou hast not 
strewed : 

25 And I was afraid, and went and 
hid thy talent in the earth : lo, thei-e 
thou hast that is thine. 

26 His lord answered and said unto 
him. Thou wicked and slothful ser- 
vant, thou knewest that I reap where 
I sowed not, and gather where I have 
not strewed : 

27 Thou oughtest therefore to have 
put my money to the exchangers, and 
then at my coming I should have re- 
ceived mine own with usur}'. 

28 Take therefore the talent from 
him, and give it unto him which hath 
ten talents. 

29 '1 For unto every one that hath 
shall be given, and he shall have 
abundance: but from him that hath 
not, shall be taken away even that 
which he hath. 

30 And cast ye the unprofitable ser- 
vant "^into outer darkness : there shall 
be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

31 ll'^When the Son of man shall 
come in his glory, and all the holy 
angels with him, then shall he sit 
upon the throne of his glory: 

32 And 'before him shall be gather- 
ed all nations: and "he shall separate 
them one from another, as a shepherd 
divideth his sheep from the goats: 

33 And he shall set the sheep on 
his right hand, but the goats on the 
left. 

34 Then shall the King say unto 
them on his right hand. Come, ye 
blessed of my Father, * inherit the 
kingdom y prepared for you from the 
foundation of the world : 

35 'For I was a hungered, and ye 
gave me meat : I was thirsty, and ye 
gave me drink: ''I was a stranger, 
and ye took me in : 

36 ^ Naked, and ye clothed me : I 
was sick, and ye visited me: <=! was

38 When saw we thee a stranger, 
and took thee in? or naked, and cloth-

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in 
prison, and came unto thee? 

40 And the King shall answer and 
say unto them. Verily, I say unto you, 
'^ Inasmuch as ye have done it unto 
one of the least of these my brethren, 
ye have done it unto me. 

41 Then shall he say also unto them 
on the left hand, e Depart from me, 
ye cursed, ^ into everlasting fire, pre- 
pared for ethe devil and his angels: 

42 For I was a hungered, and ye 
gave me no meat : I was thirsty, and 
ye gave me no drink : 

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me 
not in: naked, and ye clothed me 
not : sick, and in prison, and ye visit- 
ed me not. 

44 Then shall they also answer him, 
saying, Lord, when saw we thee a 
hungered, or athirst,or a stranger, or 
naked, or sick, or in prison, and did 
not minister unto thee? 

45 Then shall he answer them, say- 
ing. Verily, I say unto you, ''In- 
asmuch as ye did it not to one of 
the least of these, ye did it not to

7 There came unto him a woman 
having an alabaster-box of very pre- 
cious ointment, and poured it on his 
head as he sat at meat. 

8 ^But when his disciples saw it, 
they had indignation, saying. To 
what purpose is this waste? 

9 For this ointment might have 
been sold for much, and given to the 
poor. 

10 When Jesus understood it, he 
said unto them. Why trouble ye the 
woman? for she hath wrought a good 
work upon me. 

1 1 f For ye have the poor always 
with you ; but Sme ye have not al- 
ways. 

12 For in that she hath poured this 
ointment on my body, she did it for 
my burial. 

13 Verily, I say unto you, Where- 
soever this gospel shall be preached 
in the whole world, there shall also 
this, that this woman hath done, be 
told for a memorial of her. 

14 ^iiThen one of the twelve, call- 
ed 'Judas Iscariot, went unto the 
chief priests, 

15 And said unto them, '^What will 
ye give me, and I will deliver him 
unto you? And they covenanted with 
him for thirty pieces of silver. 

16 And from that time he sought 
opportunity to betray him. 

17 t'Now, the first day of the 
feast of unleavened bread, the disci- 
ples came to Jesus, saying unto him, 
Where wilt thou that we prepare for 
thee to eat the passover? 

18 And he said, Go into the city to 
such a man, and say unto him. The 
Master saith. My time is at hand ; I 
will keep the passover at thy house 
with my disciples. 

19 And the disciples did as Jesus 
had appointed them ; and they made 
ready the passover. 

20 '"Now, when the even was come, 
he sat down with the twelve. 

21 And as they did eat, he said. 
Verily I say unto you. That one of 
you shall betray me. 

22 And they were exceeding sor- 
rowful, and began every one of them 
to say unto him, Lord, is it I? 

23 And he answered and said, "He 

962 



Christ instituteth his last supper. 

that dippeth his hand with me in the 
dish, the same shall betray me. 

24 The Son of man goeth, °as it is 
written of him: but Pwo unto that 
man by whom the Son of man is 
betrayed ! it had been good for that 
man if he had not been born. 

25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, 
answered and said, Master, is it 1 ? 
He said unto him. Thou hast said. 

26 Til And as they were eating, ■■ Je- 
sus took bread, and || blessed it, and 
brake it, and gave it to the disciples, 
and said. Take, eat ; ^ this is my body. 

27 And he took the cup, and gave 
thanks, and gave it to them, saying, 
* Drink ye all of it ; 

28 For "this is my blood "of the 
new testament, which is shed y for 
many for the remission of sins. 

29 But ^I say unto you, I will not 
drink henceforth of this fruit of the 
vine, a until that day when I drink it 
new with you in my Fatlier's king- 
dom. 

30 ''And when they had sung a 
II hymn, they went out into the mount 
of Olives. 

31 Then saith Jesus unto them, f^All 
ye shall "^ be oftended because of me 
this night : for it is written, «= I will 
smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of 
the flock shall be scattered abroad. 

32 But after I am risen again, 'I 
will go before you into Galilee. 

33 Peter answered and said unto 
him, Though all men shall be of- 
lended because of thee, yet will I 
never be oflended. 

34 Jesus said unto him, s Verily, I say 
unto thee, That this night, before the 
cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 

35 Peter said unto him, Though 1 
should die with thee, yet will 1 not 
deny thee. Likewise also said all the 
disciples. 

36 TI h Then cometh Jesus with them 
unto a place called Gethsemane, and 
saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, 
while I go and pray yonder. 

37 And he took with him Peter, and 
'the two sons of Zebedec, and began 
to be sorrowful and verj' heavy. 

38 Then saith he unto them, "^My 
soyi is exceeding sorrowful, even un- 
to death : tarry ye here, and watch 
with me.

■nO my Father, if it be possible', "let 
this cup pass fi-om me : nevertheless, 
onot as I will, but as thou wilt. 

40 And he cometh unto the disci- 
ples, and findeth them asleep, and 
saith unto Peter, What ! could ye not 
watch with me one hour ? 

41 P Watch and pray, that ye enter 
not into temptation : the spirit in- 
deed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 

42 He went away again the second 
time, and prayed, saying, O my Fa- 
ther, if this cup may not pass away 
from me, except I drink it, thy will 
be done. 

43 And he came and found them 
asleep again : for their eyes were 
heavy. 

44 And he left them, and went away 
again, and prayed the third time, say- 
ing the same words. 

45 Then cometh he to his disciples, 
and saith unto them. Sleep on now, 
and take your rest : behold, the hour 
is at hand, and the Son of man is be- 
trayed into the hands of sinners. 

46 Rise, let us be going : behold, 
he is at hand that doth betray me. 

47 II And '1 while he yet spake, lo, 
Judas, one of the twelve, came, and 
witli him a great multitude with 
swords and staves, from the chief 
priests and elders of the people. 

48 Now, he that betrayed him, gave 
them a sign, saying. Whomsoever I 
shall kiss, that same is he ; hold him 
fast. 

49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, 
and said. Hail, Master ; ""and kissed 
him. 

50 And Jesus said unto him, ^ Friend, 
wherefore art thou come? Then came 
they, and laid hands on Jesus, and 
took him. 

51 And behold, 'one of them which 
were with Jesus, stretched out his 
hand, and drew his sword, and struck 
a senant of the high priest, and 
smote ort" his ear. 

52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put 
up again thy sword into his place : 
"for ail they that take the sword, shall 
perish with the sword. 

53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now 
pray to my Father, and he shall pre- 
sently give me ^more than twelve le- 
gions of angels ?

54 But how then shall the scriptures 
be fulfilled, ythat thus it must be ? 

55 In that same hour said Jesus to 
the multitudes, Are ye come out as 
against a thief with swords and staves 
for to take me ? I sat daily with you 
teaching in the temple, and ye laid 
no hold on me. 

56 But all this was done, that the 
z scriptures of the prophets might be 
fulfilled. Then ^ all the disciples for- 
sook him, and fled. 

57 ly^And they that had laid hold 
on Jesus, led him away to Caiaphas 
the high priest, where the scribes and 
the elders were assembled. 

58 But Peter followed him afar off, 
unto the high priest's palace, and 
went in, and sat with the servants 
to see the end. 

59 Now, the chief priests, and eld- 
ers, and all the council, sought false 
witness against Jesus, to put him to 
death ; 

60 But found none : yea, though 
<= many false witnesses came,ye^ found 
they none. At the last came ''two 
false witnesses, 

61 And said. This fellow said, ^I 
am able to destroy the temple of God, 
and to build it in three days. 

62 f And the high priest arose, and 
said unto him, Answerest thou no- 
thing? what is it which these witness 
against thee ? 

63 But ? Jesus held his peace. And 
the high priest answered and said 
unto him, ^I adjure thee by the liv- 
ing God, that thou tell us whether 
thou be the Christ the Son of God. 

64 Jesus saith unto him. Thou hast 
said : nevertheless, I say unto you, 
i Hereafter shall ye see the Son of 
man '« sitting on the right hand of 
power, and coming in the clouds of 
heaven. 

65 1 Then the high priest rent his 
clothes, saying, He hath spoken blas- 
phemy ; what further need have we 
of witnesses ? behold, now ye have 
heard his blasphemy. 

66 What think ye ? They answered 
and said, ™He is guilty of death. 

67 °Then did they spit in his face, 
and buflfeted him ; and "others smote 
him with || the palms of their hands,

^Hearest thou not how many things 
they witness against thee? 

14 And he answered him to never 
a word ; insomuch that the governor 
rnanelled greatly. 

15 ' Now at that feast, the governor 
■was wont to release unto the people 
a prisoner, whom they would. 

16 And they had then a notable 
prisoner, called Barabbas. 

17 Therefore, when diey were ga- 
thered together, Pilate said unto 
them, Whom will ye tiiat I release 
imto you ? Barabbas, or Jesus, which 
is called Christ ? 

18 (For he knew that for envy they 
had delivered him.) 

19 II When he was set down on the 
judgment-seat, his wife sent unto 
him, saying. Have thou nothing to 
do with that just man : for I have 
suffered many things this day in a 
dream, because of him. 

20 ■" But the chief priests and el- 
ders persuaded the multitude that 
they should ask Barabbas, and de- 
stroy Jesus. 

21 Thegovernoranswered and said 
unto them, Whether of the twain will 
ye that I release unto you? Theyssiid, 
Barabbas. 

22 Pilate saith unto them. What 
shall I do then with Jesus, which is 
called Christ ? They all say unto him, 
Let him be crucified. 

23 And the governor said, Why! 
■what evil hath he done ? But they 
cried out the more, saying, Let him 
be crucified.

mult was made, he " took water, and 
washed his hands before the multi- 
tude, saying, I am innocent of the 
blood of this just person : see ye to 
it. 

25 Then answered all the people, 
and said, ° His blood he on us, and 
on our children. 

26 H Then released he Barabbas un- 
to them : and when P he had scourg- 
ed Jesus, he delivered him to be cru- 
cified. 

27 <\ Then the soldiers of the gover- 
nor took Jesus into the || common 
hall, and gathered unto him the whole 
band of soldiers. 

28 And they stripped him, and ^ put 
on him a scarlet robe. 

29 *li 8 And when they had platted a 
crown of thorns, they put it upon his 
head, and a reed in his right hand: 
and they bowed the knee before him, 
and mocked him, saying. Hail, King 
of the Jews ! 

30 And Uhey spit upon him, and 
took the reed, and smote him on the 
head. 

31 And after that they had mocked 
him, they took the robe oft' from him, 
and put his own raiment on him, 
" and led him away to crucify him. 

32 ^And as they came out, >'they 
found a man of Cyrene, Simon by 
name: him they compelled to bear 
his cross. 

33 z And when they were come un- 
to a place called Golgotlia, that is to 
say, A place of a skull, 

34 TI =^They gave him vinegar to 
drink, mingled with gall : and when 
he had tasted thereof, he would not 
drink. 

35 ''And they crucified him, and 
parted his garments, castinglots : that 
it might be fulfilled which was spoken 
by the prophet ; " They parted my 
garments among them, and upon my 
vesture did they cast lots. 

36 '^ And silting down, they watch- 
ed him there ; 

37 And « set up over his head his 
accusation written,THIS IS JESUS 
THE KING OF THE JEWS.

crucified with him : one on the right 
hand, and another on the left.

40 And saying, ''Thou that destroy- 
est the temple, and buildest itin three 
days, save thyself. ' If thou be the 
Son of God, come down from the 
cross. 

41 Likewise also the chief priests 
liiocking him, with the scribes and 
eiders, said, 

42 He saved others ; himself he can- 
not save. If he be the King of Is- 
rael, let him now come down from 
the cross, and we will believe him. 

43 ^ He trusted in God ; let him 
deliver him now if he will have him : 
for he said, I am the Son of God. 

44 'The thieves also which were 
crucified with him, cast the same in 
his teeth. 

45 ™ Now, from the sixth hour there 
was darkness over all the land unto 
the ninth hour. 

46 And about the ninth hour ° Je- 
sus cried with a loud voice, saying, 
Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani ? that is 
to say, °My God, my God, why hast 
thou forsaken me ? 

47 Some of them that stood there, 
when they heard that, said. This man 
calleth for Elias, 

• 48 And straightway one of them 
ran, and took a sponge, Pand filled it 
with vinegar, and put it on a reed, 
and gave him to drink. 

49 The rest said, Let be, let us see 
whether Elias will come to save him. 

50 Tlq Jesus, when he had cried 
again with a loud voice, yielded up 
the ghost. 

51 And behold, ''the vail of the 
temple was rent in twain from the 
top to the bottom : and the earth 
did quake, and the rocks rent ; 

52 And the graves were opened, 
and many bodies of saints which 
slept, arose, 

53 And came out of the graves after 
his resurrection, and went into the 
holy city, and appeared unto many. 

54 s Now, when the centurion, and 
they that were with him, watching 
Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those 
things that were done, they feared 
greatly, saying. Truly this was the 
Son of God. 

55 And many women were there (be- 
holding afar off) ' which followed Je- 
sus from Galilee, ministering unto 
him:

57 ^ When the even was come, there 
came a rich man of Arimathea, nam- 
ed Joseph, who also himself was Je- 
sus' disciple : 

58 He went to Pilate, and begged 
the body of Jesus. Then Pilate com- 
manded the body to be delivered. 

59 And when Joseph had taken the 
body, he wrapped it in a clean linen 
cloth, 

60 And y laid it in his own new 
tomb, which he had hewn out in the 
rock ; and he rolled a great stone to 
the door of the sepulchre, and de- 
parted. 

61 And there was Mary Magdalene, 
and the other Maiy, sitting over 
against the sepulchre. 

62 1 Now, the next day that fol- 
lowed the day of the preparation, 
the chief priests and Pharisees came 
together unto Pilate, 

63 Saying, Sir, we remember that 
that deceiver said, while he was yet 
alive, z After three days I will rise 
again. 

64 Command therefore that the se- 
pulchre be made sure mitil the third 
day, lest his disciples come by night, 
and steal him away, and say unto the 
people. He is risen from the dead : so 
the last error shall be worse than 
the first. 

65 Pilate said unto them. Ye have a 
watch : go your way, make it as sure 
as ye can. 

66 So they went and made the se- 
pulchre sure, =1 sealing the stone,and 
setting a watch.

39 ^And he preached in their sy- 
nagogues throughout all Galilee, and 
cast out devils. 

40 "And there came a leper to him, 
beseeching him, and kneeling down 
to him, and saying unto him. If thou 
wilt, thou canst make me clean. 

41 And Jesus, moved with com- 
passion, put forth Ms hand, and 
touched him, and saith unto him, I 
will ; be thou clean. 

42 And as soon as he had spoken, 
immediately the leprosy departed 
from him, and he was cleansed. 

43 And he straitly charged him, 
and forthwith sent him away ; 

44 And saith unto him. See thou 
say nothing to any man ; but go thy 
way, shew thyself to the priest, and 
offer for thy cleansing those things

timony unto them.

AND again ^he entered into Ca-

it was noised that he was in the 
house. 

2 And straightway many were ga- 
thered together, insomuch that there 
was no room to receive them, no, not 
so much as about the door : and he 
preached the word unto them. 

3 And they come unto him, bring- 
ing one sick of the palsy, which was 
borne of four. 

4 And when they could not come 
nigh unto him for the press, they 
uncovered the roof where he was : 
and when they had broken it up, 
they let down the bed wherein the 
sick of the palsy lay. 

5 When Jesus saw their faith, he 
said unto the sick of the pals)\ Son, 
thy sins be forgiven thee. 

6 But there were certain of the 
scribes sitting there, and reasoning 
in their hearts, 

7 Why doth this man thus speak 
blasphemies ? '>who can forgive sins 
but God only ? 

8 And immediately, ^when Jesus 
perceived in his spirit that they so 
reasoned within themselves, he said 
unto them,Why reason ye these things 
in your hearts ? 

9 <i Whether is it easier to say to 
the sick of the palsy. Thy sins be 
forgiven thee ; or to say, Arise, and 
take up thy bed, and walk ?

Son of man hath power on earth to 
forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of 
the palsy,)

Matthew the publican called. 

all amazed, and glorified God, saying 
We never saw it on this fashion. 

13 e And he went forth again by the 
sea-side ; and all the multitude resort- 
ed unto him, and he taught them. 

14 ^And as he passed by, he saw 
Levi the so7i of Alpheus, sitting || at 
the receipt of custom, and said unto 
him. Follow me. And he arose, and 
followed him. 

15 eAnd it came to pass, that as 
Jesus sat at meat in his house, many 
publicans and sinners sat also toge- 
ther with Jesus and his disciples ; for 
there were many, and they followed 
him. 

16 And when the scribes and Pha- 
risees saw him eat with publicans and 
sinners, they said unto his disciples, 
How is it that he eateth and drinketh 
with publicans and sinners ? 

17 When Jesus heard it, he saith 
unto them, i* They tliat are whole, have 
no need of the physician, but they 
that are sick : I came not to call the 
righteous, but sinners, to repentance. 

18 'And the disciples of John, and 
of the Pharisees, used to fast : and 
they come, and say unto him, AVhy 
do the disciples of John, and of the 
Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast 
not? 

19 And Jesus said unto them, Can 
the children ofthe bride-chamber fast, 
while the bridegroom is with them ? 
As long as they have the bridegroom 
with them, they cannot fast. 

20 But the days will come, when 
the bridegroom shall be taken away 
from them, and then shall they fast 
in those days. 

21 No man also seweth a piece of 
II new cloth on an old garment : else 
the new piece that filled it up, taketh 
away from the old, and the rent is 
made worse. 

22 And no man putteth new wine 
into old bottles : else the new wine 
doth burst the bottles, and the wine 
is spilled, and the bottles will be 
marred : but new wine must be put 
into new bottles. 

23 ''And it came to pass, that he 
went through the corn-fields on the 
sabbath-day ; and his disciples began, 
as they went, 'to pluck the ears of 
com. 

24 And the Pharisees said unto him,

25 And he said unto them, Hav6 ye

and they that were with him ? 

26 How he went into the house of 
God, in the days of Abiathar the high 
priest, and did eat the shew-bread, 
"which is not lawful to eat, but for 
the priests, and gave also to them 
which were with him ?

against the Holy Ghost hath never 
forgiveness, but is in danger of eter-

30 Because they said, He hath an 
ujiclean spirit.

and his mother, and standing with- 
out, sent unto him, calling him. 

32 And the multitude sat about 
him ; and they said unto him. Behold, 
thy mother and thy brethren with- 
out seek for thee. 

33 And he answered them, saying. 
Who is my mother, or my brethren ? 

34 And he looked round about on 
them which sat about him, and said, 
Behold, my mother and my brethren !

of God, the same is my brother, and 
my sister, and mother.

9 And he said unto them. He that 
hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

\0 ^ And when he was alone, they 
thatwere about him, with the twelve, 
asked of him the parable. 

11 And he said unto them. Unto 
you it is given to know the mystery 
of the kingdom of God : but unto 
^them that are without, all these 
things are done in parables: 

12 ^That seeing they may see, and 
not perceive ; and hearing they may 
hear, and not understand ; lest at any 
time they should be converted, and 
their sins should be forgiven them. 

13 And he said unto them. Know 
ye not this parable? and how then 
will ye know all parables? 

14 T[ gThe sower soweth the word. 

15 And these are they by the way- 
side, where the word is sown ; but 
when they have heard, Satan cometh 
immediately, and taketh away the 
word that was sown in their hearts. 

1 6 And these are they likewise which 
are sown on stony ground ; who, 
when they have heard the word, im- 
mediately receive it with gladness ; 

17 And have no root in themselves, 
and so endure but for a time : after- 
ward, when affliction or persecution 
ariseth for the word's sake, imme- 
diately they are offended. 

18 And these are they which are 
sown among thorns ; such as hear 
the word, 

19 And the cares of this world, ^ and 
the deceitfulriess of riches, and the 
lusts of other things entering in, 
choke the word, and it becometh un- 
fruitful. 

20 And these are they which are 
sown on good ground ; such as hear 
the word, and receive it, and bring 
forth fruit, some thirty-fold, some 
sixty, and some a hundred. 

2111' And he said unto them. Is a 
candle brought to be put under a 
II bushel, or under a bed ? and not to 
be set on a candlestick ? 

22 ': For there is nothing hid, which 
shall not be manifested ; neither was 
any thing kept secret, but that it 
should come abroad. 

23 'If any man have ears to hear, 
let him hear.

Ohrist stilleth a tempest. 

24 And he said unto them, Take 
heed what ye hear: ™With what mea- 
sure ye mete, it shall be measured to 
you : and unto you that hear, shall 
more be given. 

25 "For he that hath, to him shall 
be given : and he that hath not, from 
him shall be taken even that which 
he hath. 

26 TIAnd he said, ° So is the king- 
dom of God, as if a man should cast 
seed into the ground ; 

27 And should sleep, and rise night 
and day, and the seed should spring 
and grow up, he knoweth not how. 

28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit 
of herself ; first the blade, then the 
ear, after that the full corn in the 
ear. 

29 But when the fruit is tl brought 
forth, immediately P he putteth in the 
sickle, because the harvest is come. 

30 H And he said, qWhereunto shall 
we liken the kingdom of God? or 
with what comparison shall we com- 
pare it? 

31 /i is like a grain of mustard-seed, 
which, when it is sown in the earth, 
is less than all the seeds that be in 
the earth : 

32 But when it is sown, it groweth 
up, and becometh greater than all 
herbs, and shooteth out great branch- 
es ; so that the fowls of the air may 
lodge under the shadow of it. 

33 '■ And with many such parables 
spake he the word unto them, as they 
were able to hear it. 

34 But without a parable spake he 
not unto them : and when they were 
alone, he expounded all things to his 
disciples. 

35 s And the same day, when the 
even was come, he saith unto them. 
Let us pass over unto the other side. 

36 And when they had sent away 
the multitude, they took him even as 
he was in the ship. And there were 
also with him other little ships. 

37 And there arose a great storm of 
wind, and the waves beat into the 
ship, so that it was now full. 

38 And he was in the hinder part of 
the ship, asleep on a pillow : and they 
awake him, and say unto him, Mas- 
ter, carest thou not that we perish ? 

39 And he arose, and rebuked the 
wind, and said unto the sea, Peace,

2 And when he was come out of the 
ship, immediately there met him out 
of the tombs a man with an unclean 
spirit, 

3 Who had his dwelling among the 
tombs ; and no man could bind him, 
no, not with chains : 

4 Because that he had been often 
bound with fetters and chains, and 
the chains had been plucked asunder 
by him, and the fetters broken in 
pieces : neither could any man tame 
him. 

5 And always, night and day, he was 
in the mountains, and in the tombs, 
crying, and cutting himself with 
stones. 

6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, 
he ran and worshipped him, 

7 And cried with a loud voice, and 
said, What have I to do with thee, 
Jesus, thou Son of the Most High 
God ? I adjure thee by God, that 
thou torment me not.

of the man, thou unclean spirit.)

name? And he answered, saying. My 
name is Legion : for we are many.

he would not send them away out of 
the country.

feeding. ■■

saying. Send us into the swine, that

14 And they that fed the swine fled,

it was that was done. 

15 And they come to Jesus, and see 
him that was possessed with the de- 
vil, and had the legion, sitting, and 
clothed, and in his right mind: and 
they were afraid. 

16 And they that saw it told them 
how it befell to him that was pos- 
sessed with the devil, and also con- 
cerning the swine. 

17 And 'nhey began to pray him 
to depart out of tlieir coasts. 

1 8 And when he was come into tiie 
ship, <=he that had been possessed 
with the devil prayed him that he 
might be with him. 

19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, 
but saith unto liim, Go home to thy 
friends, and tell them how great 
things the Lord hath done for thee, 
and hath had compassion on thee. 

20 And he departed, and began to 
publish in Decapolis how great 
things Jesus had done for him. And 
all men did marvel. 

21 <iAnd when Jesus was passed 
over again by ship unto the other side, 
much people gathered unto him : and 
he was nigh unto the sea. 

22 eAnd behold, there cometh one 
of the rulers of the sjiiagogue, Jairus

fell at his feet,

ing. My little daughter lieth at the 
point of death : / pray thee, come 
and lay thy hands on her, that she 
may be healed ; and she shall live.

much people followed him, and 
thronged him. 

25 And a certain woman ''which 
had an issue of blood twelve years, 

26 And had suffered many things 
of many physicians, and had spent all 
that she had, and was nothing better- 
ed, but rather grew worse,

Jairus' daughter restored to life. 

29 And straightway the fountain of 
her blood was dried up ; and she felt 
in her body that she was healed of 
that plague. 

30 And Jesus, immediately know- 
ing in himself that Svirtue had gone 
out of him, turned him about in the 
press, and said. Who touched my 
clothes? 

31 And his disciples said unto him, 
Thou seest the multitude thronging 
thee, and sayest thou, ^Vho touched 
me? 

32 And he looked round about to 
see her that had done this thing. 

33 But the woman, fearing and 
trembling, knowing what was done 
in her, came and fell down before 
him, and told him all the truth. 

34 And he said unto her, Daughter, 
'Uhy faith had made thee whole ; go 
in peace, and be whole of thy plague. 

35 'While he yet spake, tliere came 
from tlie ruler of the synagogue's 
house certain which said, Thy daugh- 
ter is dead: why troublest thou the 
Master any further? 

36 As soon as Jesus heard the word 
that was spoken, he saith unto the 
ruler of the sj'nagogue, Be not afraid, 
only believe. 

37 And he suffered no man to fol- 
low him, save Peter, and James, and 
John the brother of James. 

38 And he cometh to the house of 
the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth 
the tumult, and them that wept and 
wailed greatly. 

39 And when he was come in, he 
saith unto them, Why make ye this 
ado, and weep? the damsel is not 
dead, but ^ sleepeth. 

40 And they laughed him to scorn. 
'But, when he had put them all out, 
he taketh the father and the mother 
of the damsel, and them that were 
with him, and entereth in where the 
damsel was lying. 

41 And he took the damsel by the 
hand, and said unto her, Talitha-cu- 
mi: which is, being interpreted, 
Damsel, (I say unto thee) arise. 

42 And straightway the damsel a- 
rose, and walked ; for she was of the 
age of twelve years. And they were 
astonished with a great astonishment. 

43 And "he charged them straitly 
that no man should know it; and

AND ^he went out from thence, 
and came into his own country; 
and his disciples follow him. 

2 And when the sabbath-day was 
come, he began to teach in the syna- 
gogue : and many hearing him were 
astonished, saying, tFrom whence 
hath this man these things? and 
what wisdom is this which is given 
unto him, that even such mighty 
works are wrought by his hands? 

3 Is not this the carpenter, the son 
of Mary, <^ the brother of James, and 
Joses, and of Juda, and Simon ? and 
are not his sisters here with us ? And 
they t^were offended at him. 

4 But Jesus said unto them, ^ A 
prophet is not without honour, but 
in his own countr)^, and among his 
own kin, and in his own house. 

5 f And he could there do no mighty 
work, save that he laid his hands up- 
on a few sick folk, and healed them. 

6 And she marvelled because of 
their unbehef. ^And he went round 
about the villages teaching. 

7 ^ 'And he called, unto him the 
twelve, and began to send them forth 
by two and two; and gave them 
power over unclean spirits ; 

8 And commanded them that they 
should take nothing for their purney, 
save a staff only ; no scrip, no bread, 
no II money in their purse : 

9 But ^be shod with sandals; and 
not put on two coats. 

10 'And he said unto them. In what 
place soever ye enter into a house, 
there abide till ye depart from that 
place. 

1 1 ™ And whosoever shall not re- 
ceive you, nor hear you, when ye de- 
part thence, ° shake off the dust un-

than for that city. 

12 And they went out, and preach- 
ed that men should repent.

John the Baptist beheaded. 

13 And they cast out many devils, 
oand anointed with oil many that 
were sick, and healed them. 

14 PAnd king Herod heard of him, 
(for his name was spread abroad,) 
and he said. That John the Baptist 
was risen from the dead, and there- 
fore mighty works do shew forth 
themselves in him. 

15 1 0thers said, That it is Elias. 
And others said, That it is a prophet, 
or as one of the prophets. 

16 ""But when Herod heard thereof, 
he said. It is John, whom I behead- 
ed: he is risen from the dead. 

17 For Herod himself had sent 
forth and laid hold upon John, and 
bound him in prison for Herodias' 
sake, his brother Philip's wife : for 
he had married her. 

18 For John had said unto Herod, 
^It is not lawful for thee to have thy 
brother's wife. 

19 Therefore Herodias had || a quar- 
rel against him, and would have kill- 
ed him ; but she could not : 

20 For Herod * feared John, know- 
ing that he was a just man and a 
holy, and || observed him: and when 
he heard him, he did many things, 
and heard him gladly. 

21 "And when aconvenient day was 
come, that Herod ^on his birfh-day 
made a supper to his lords, high cap- 
tains, and ch\e? estates of Galilee; 

22 And when the daughter of the 
said Herodias came in, and danced, 
and pleased Herod, and them that 
sat with him, the king said unto the 
damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou 
wilt, And I will give it thee. 

23 And he sware unto her, y What- 
soever thou shalt ask of me, I will give 
it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. 

24 And she went forth, and said 
unto her mother, What shall I ask ? 
And she said, The head of John the 
Baptist. 

25 And she came in straightway 
with haste unto the king, and asked, 
saying, I will that thou give me, by 
and by, in a charger, the head of John 
the Baptist. 

26 ^And the king was exceeding 
sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and 
for their sakes which sat with him, 
he would not reject her. 

27 And immediately the king sent 

97^i 



Christ feedeth jive thousand. 

II an executioner, and commanded his 
head to be brought : and he went and 
beheaded him in the prison ; 

28 And brought his head in a char- 
ger, and gave it to the damsel ; and 
the damsel gave it to her mother. 

29 And when his disciples heard of 
it, they came and took up his corpse, 
and laid it in a tomb. 

30 ^Andthe apostles gathered them- 
selves together unto Jesus, and told 
him all things, both what thev had 
done, and what they had taught. 

31 '^And he said unto them, Come 
ye yourselves apart into a desert 
place, and rest a while: for <= there 
were many coming and going, and 
they had no leisure so much as to eat. 

32 <i And they departed into a desert 
place by ship privately. 

33 And the people saw them de- 
parting, and many knew him, and 
ran afoot thither out of all cities, and 
outwent them, and came together 
unto him. 

34 'And Jesus, when he came out, 
saw much people, and was moved 
with compassion toward them, be- 
cause they were as sheep not having 
a shepherd : and 'he began to teach 
them many things. 

35 g And w hen tlie day was now far 
spent, his disciples came unto him, 
and said, This is a desert place, and 
now the time is far passed : 

3G Send them away, that they may 
go into the countiy round about, and 
into the villages, and buy themselves 
bread : for they have nothing to eat. 

37 He answered and said unto them. 
Give ye them to eat. And they say 
unto him. '' Shall we go and buy two 
hundred || pennyworth of bread, and 
give them to eat ? 

38 He saith unto them, How many 
loaves have ye ? go and see. And 
when they knew, they say, 'Five, 
and two fishes. 

39 And he commanded them to 
make all sit down by companies upon 
the green grass. 

40 And they sat down in ranks, by 
hundreds, and by fifties. 

41 And when he had taken the five 
loaves, and the two fishes, he looked 
up to heaven, I"' and blessed, and brake 
the loaves, and gave them to his dis- 
ciples to set before them ; and the

two fishes divided he among them all. 

42 And they did all eat, and were 
filled. 

43 And they took up twelve baskets 
full of the fragments, and of the fishes. 

44 And they that did eat of the 
loaves, were about five thousand men. 

45 'And straightway he constrained 
his disciples to get into the ship, and 
to go to the other side before || unto 
Bethsaida, while he sent away the 
people. 

46 And when he had sent them a- 
way, he departed into a mountain to 
pray. 

47 "> And when even was come, the 
ship was in the midst of the sea, and 
he alone on the land. 

48 And he saw them toiling in row- 
ing ; for the wind was contrary unto 
them : and about the fourth watch of 
the night he cometh unto them, walk- 
ing upon the sea, and ° would have 
passed by them. 

49 But when they saw him walking 
upon the sea, they supposed it had 
been a spirit, and cried out. 

50 (For they all saw him, and were 
troubled.) And immediatelyhetalked 
M'ith them, and saith unto them. Be 
of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. 

51 And he went up unto them into 
the ship ; and the wind ceased : and 
they were sore amazed in themselves 
beyond measure, and wondered. 

52 For "they considered not the 
miracle of the loaves ; for their 
P heart was hardened. 

53 lAnd when they had passed 
over, they came into the land of 
Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. 

54 And when they were come out 
of the ship, straightway they knew 
him, 

55 And ran through that whole re- 
gion round about, and began to carry 
about in beds those that were sick, 
where they heard he was. 

56 And whithersoever he entered, 
into villages, or cities, or country, 
they laid the sick in the streets, and 
besought him tliat nhey might touch, 
if it were but the border of his gar- 
ment : and as many as touched || him, 
were made whole.

I The PhnriseexfitidfnuU nt the disciples for eat- 
inf! with nnwashcri hands. 8 They brenk the 
commandment of God by the traditions of men. 

975 



The Pharisees reproved. 

14 Meat defileth not the man. 24 He healeth 
the Syropkeniciati icomaii's daughter of an 
unclean spirit, 31 and one that was deaf, and 
stammered in his speech. 

THEN 'I came together unto him 
the Pharisees, and certain of 
the scribes, which came from Jeru 
salem. 

2 And when they saw some of his 
disciples eat bread with || defiled (that 
is to say, with unwashen) hands, they 
found fault. 

3 For the Pharisees, and all the 
Jews, except they wash their hands 
II oft, eat not, holding the tradition 
of the elders. 

4 And when they come from the 
market, except they wash, they eat 
not. And many other things there 
be, which they have received to hold, 
as the washing of cups, and || pots, 
and brazen vessels, and || tables. 

5 '^Then the Pharisees and scribes 
asked him. Why walk not thy disci- 
ples according to the tradition of the 
elders, but eat bread with unwashen 
hands ? 

6 He answered and said unto them. 
Well hath Esaias prophesied of you 
hypocrites, as it is written, ^ This peo- 
ple honoureth me with their lips, but 
their heart is far from me. 

7 Howbeit, in vain do they worship 
me, teaching for doctrines the com- 
mandments of men. 

8 For, laying aside the command- 
ment of God, ye hold the tradition of 
men, as the washing of pots and 
cups : and many other such like 
things ye do. 

9 And he said unto them. Full well 
ye II reject the commandment of God, 
that ye may keep your own tradition. 

10 For Moses said, ''Honour thy 
father and thy mother ; and, <= Who- 
so curseth father or mother, let him 
die the death : 

1 1 But ye say, If a man shall say 
to his father or mother, It is f Corban, 
that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever 
thou mightest be profited by me ; he 
shall be free. 

12 And ye suffer him no more to do 
aught for his father or his mother; 

13 Making the woid of God of none 
effect through your tradition, which 
ye have delivered : and many such 
like things do ye,

1 5 There is nothing from without a 
man, that entering into him, can de- 
file him : but the things which come 
out of him, those are they that defile 
the man. 

16 ''If any man have ears to hear, 
let him hear. 

17 ^And when he was entered into 
the house from the people, his disci- 
ples asked him concerning the para- 
ble. 

18 And he saith unto them, Are ye 
so without understanding also ? Do 
ye notperceive,that whatsoever thing 
from without entereth into the man, 
it cannot defile him : 

19 Because it entereth not into his 
heart, but into the belly, and goeth 
out into the draught, purging all 
meats 'I 

20 And he said, That which Com- 
eth out of the man, that defileth the 
man. 

21 ''For from within, out of the 
heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, 
adulteries, fornications, murders, 

22 Thefts, f covetousness, wicked- 
ness, deceit, laciviousness, an evil 
eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness ; 

23 All tliese evil things come from 
within, and defile the man. 

24 TI'And from thence he arose, 
and went into the borders of Tyre and 
Sidon, and entered into a house, and 
would have no man know it: but he 
could not be hid. 

25 For a certain woman, whose 
young daughter had an unclean spi- 
rit, heard of him, and came and fell 
at his feet : 

26 (The woman was a || Greek, a 
Syrophenician by nation,) and she 
besought him that he would cast 
forth the devil out of her daughter. 

27 But Jesus said unto her. Let 
the children first be filled : for it is 
not meet to take the children's bread, 
and to cast it unto the dogs. 

28 And she answered and said unto 
him. Yes, Lord : yet the dogs under 
the table eat of the children's crumbs. 

29 And he said unto her. For this 
saying, go thy way ; the devil is gone 
out of thy daughter. 

30 And when she was come to her

house, she found the devil gone out, 
and her daughter laid upon the bed. 

31 IF™ And again, departing from 
the coasts ofTyre and Sidon, he came 
unto the sea of Gahlee, through the 
midst of the coasts of Decapolis. 

32 And "they bring unto him one 
that was deaf, and had an impedi- 
ment in his speech ; and they be- 
seech him to put his hand upon him. 

33 And he took him aside from the 
multitude, and put his fingers into 
his ears, and °he spit, and touched 
his tongue : 

34 And P looking up to heaven, <)he 
sighed, and saith unto him, Ephpha- 
tha, that is. Be opened. 

35 ■'And straightway his ears were 
opened, and the string of his tongue 
was loosed, and he spake plain. 

36 And »he charged tliem that they 
should tell no man : but the more he 
charged them, so much the more a 
great deal they published it ; 

37 And were beyond measure asto-

8 So they did eat, and were filled : 
and they took up of the broken meat 
that was left, seven baskets. 

9 And they that had eaten were 
about four thousand : and he sent 
them away. 

10 ^ And "i straightway he entered 
into a ship with his disciples, and 
came into the parts of Dalmanutha. 

11 <^And the Pharisees came forth, 
and began to question with him, seek- 
ing of him a sign from heaven, tempt- 
ing him. 

12 And he sighed deeply in his spi- 
rit, and saith, "Why doth this genera- 
tion seek after a sign ? Verily, I say 
unto you, There shall no sign be given 
to this generation. 

13 And he left them, and entering 
into the ship again, departed to the 
other side. 

14 T[ '"Now the disdples had forgot- 
ten to take bread, neither had they in 
the ship with them more than one loaf. 

15 sAnd he charged them, saying, 
Take heed, beware of the leaven of 
the Pharisees, and of the leaven of 
Herod. 

16 And they reasoned among them- 
selves, saying, /< is ''because we have 
no bread. 

1 7 And when Jesus knew it, he saith 
unto them, Why reason ye, because 
ye have no bread ? ' perceive ye not 
yet, neither understand ? have ye 
your heart yet hardened ? 

18 Having eyes, see ye not? and 
having ears, hear ye not? and do ye 
not remember ? 

19 '^'W'hcn I brake the five loaves 
among five thousand, how many bas- 
kets full of fragments took ye up ? 
They say unto him, Twelve. 

20 And 'when the seven among four 
thousand, how many baskets full of 
fragments took ye up? And they said, 
Seven. 

21 And he said unto them, How is 
it that '"ye do not understand ? 

22 IT And he cometh to Bethsaida ; 
and they bring a blind man unto him, 
and besought him to touch him. 

23 And he took the blind man by 
the hand, and led him out of the 
town ; and when "he had spit on his

eyes, and put his hands upon him, 
he asked him if he saw aught. 

24 And he looked up, and said, I 
see men as trees walking. 

25 After that,he put his hands again 
upon his eyes, and made him lookup: 
and he was restored, and saw every 
man clearly. 

26 And he sent him away to his 
house, saying, Neither go into the 
town, °nor tell it to any in the town. 

27 T[ P And Jesus went out, and his 
disciples, into the towns of Cesarea 
Philippi : and by the way he asked his 
disciples, saying unto them. Who 
do men say that I am ? 

28 And they answered, q John the 
Baptist: but some say, Elias ; and 
others, One of the prophets. 

29 And he saith unto them. But 
who say ye that I am ? And Peter 
answereth and saith unto him, •'Thou 
art the Christ. 

30 s And he charged them that they 
should tell no man of him. 

31 And the began to teach them, 
that the Son of man mustsuffer many 
things, and be rejected of the elders, 
and qfthe chief priests, and scribes, 
and be killed, and after three days 
rise again. 

32 And he spake that saying open- 
Jy. And Peter took him, and began 
to rebuke him. 

. 33 But when he had turned about, 
and looked on his disciples, he re- 
buked Peter, saying. Get thee behind 
me, Satan: for thou savourest not the 
things that be of God, but the things 
that be of men. 

34 •[[ And when he had called the 
people unto him with his disciples 
also, he said unto them, "Whosoever 
will come after me, let him deny 
himself, and take up his cross, and 
follow me. 

35 For ^whosoever will save his life, 
shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose 
his life for my sake and the gospel's, 
the same shall save it. 

36 For what shall it profit a man, 
if he shall gain the whole world, and 
lose his own soul ?

ciples concerning the coming of Elias .•14 cast- 
eth forth a dumb and deaf spirit : 'iQ foretelleth 
his death and resurrection: 'iZ exhorteth his dis- 
ciples to humility : 38 bidding them not to pro- 
hibit such as be not against them, nor to give of- 
fence to any of the faithful, 

ND he said unto them, ^^ Verily, 
I say unto you. That there be 
some of them that stand here which 
shall not taste of death, till they have 
seen ^ the kingdom of God come with 
power. 

2 TI^And after six days, Jesus tak- 
eth with him Peter, and James, and 
John, and leadeth them up into a 
high mountain apart by themselves ; 
and he was transfigured before them. 

3 And his raiment became shining, 
exceeding ^ white as snow ; so as no 
fuller on earth can white them. 

4 And there appeared unto them 
Elias, with Moses : and they were 
talking with Jesus. 

5 And Peter answered and said to 
Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be 
here : and let us make three taberna- 
cles ; one for thee, and one for Mo- 
ses, and one for Elias. 

6 For he wist not what to say : for 
they were sore afraid. 

7 And there was a cloud that over- 
shadowed them : and a voice came 
out of the cloud, saying, This is my 
beloved Son : hear him. 

8 And suddenly, when they had 
looked round about, they saw no man 
any more, save Jesus only with them- 
selves. 

9 e And as they came down from the 
mountain, he charged them that they 
should tell no man what things they 
had seen, till the Son of man were 
risen from the dead. 

10 And they kept that saying with 
themselves, questioning one with an- 
other what the rising from the dead 
should mean. 

11^ And they asked him, saying. 
Why say the scribes ^that Elias must 
first come ? 

12 And he answered and told them, 
Elias verily cometh first, and restor- 
eth all things ; and show it is written 
of the Son of man, that he must suf- 
fer many things, and ^be set at nought.

the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou

come out of him, and enter no more 
into him. 

26 And the spirit cried, and rent 
him sore, and came out of him : and 
he was as one dead ; insomuch that 
many said, He is dead.

it off : it is better for thee to enter

8 And they twain shall be one flesh:

one flesh. 

9 What therefore, God hath joined 
together, let not man put asunder. 

10 And in the house his disciples 
asked him again of the same matter. 

1 1 And he saith unto them, fWho- 
soever shall put away his wife, and 
marry another, committeth adultery 
against her. 

12 And if a woman shall put away 
her husband, and be married to an- 
other, she committeth adultery. 

13 TI gAnd they brought young 
children to him, that he should touch 
them; and his disciples rebuked 
those that brought them, 

14 But when Jesus saw it, he was 
much displeased, and said unto them, 
Suffer the httle children to come un- 
to me, and forbid them not : for '^of 
such is the kingdom of God. 

15 Verily I say unto you, i Whoso- 
ever shall not receive the kingdom of

put his hands upon them, and blessed 
them. 

17 TI^And when he was gone forth 
into the way, there came one I'unning, 
and kneeled to him, and asked him, 
Good Master, what shall I do that I 
may inherit eternal life ? 

18 And Jesus said unto him, Why 
callest thou me good 1 there is none 
good, but one, that is God, 

19 Thou knowest the command- 
ments, ^Do not commit adultery. Do 
not kill. Do not steal. Do not bear 
false witness. Defraud not, Honour 
thy father and mother. 

20 And he answered and said unto 
him. Master, all these have I observed 
from my youth. 

21 Then Jesus beholding him loved 
him, and said unto him, One thing 
thou lackest : go thy way, sell what- 
soever thou hast, and give to the poor, 
and thou shalt have '"treasure in hea- 
ven ; and come, take up the cross,

Chnst foretelhth his own death. 

22 And he was sad at that saying, 
and went away grieved : for he had 
great possessions. 

23 *H"Aiid Jesus looked round 
about, and saith unto his disciples, 
How hardly shall they that have 
riches enter into the kingdom of God ! 

24 And the disciples were astonish- 
ed at his Avords. But Jesus answer- 
eth again, and saith unto them, Chil- 
dren, how hard is it for them "that 
trust in riches to enter into the king- 
dom of God ! 

25 It is easier for a camel to go 
through the eye of a needle, than for 
a rich man to enter into the kingdom 
of God. 

26 And they were astonished out of 
measure, saying among themselves, 
Who then can be saved ? 

27 And Jesus looking upon them, 
saith, With men it is impossible, but 
not with God : for Pwith God all 
things are possible. 

28 TI iThen Peter began to say un- 
to him, Lo, we have left all, and have 
followed thee. 

29 And Jesus answered and said. 
Verily, I say unto you. There is no 
man that hath left house, or brethren, 
or sisters, or father, or mother, or 
wife, or children, or lands, for my 
sake, and the gospel's, 

30 ■'But he shall receive a hun- 
dred-fold now in this time, houses, 
and brethren, and sisters, and mo- 
thers, and children, end lands, with 
persecutions ; and in the world to 
come, eternal life. 

31 "But many that are first shall be 
last ; and the last first. 

32 H^And they were in the way, 
going up to Jerusalem ; and Jesus 
went before them : and they were 
amazed ; and as they followed, they 
were afraid. "And he took again the 
twelve, and began to tell them what 
things should happen unto him, 

33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Je- 
rusalem ; and the Son of man shall be 
delivered unto the chief priests, and 
unto the scribes ; and they shall con- 
demn him to death, and shall deliver 
him to the Gentiles ; 

34 And they shall mock him, and 
shall scourge him, and shall spit up- 
on him, and shall kill him : and the 
third day he shall rise again.

The suit of the sons of Zebedee. 

35 I'^And James and John, the 
sons of Zebedee, come unto him, 
saying, INIaster, we would that thou 
shouldest do for us whatsoever we 
shall desire. 

36 And he said unto them, What 
would ye that I should do for you ? 

37 They said unto him. Grant un- 
to us that we may sit, one on thy 
right hand, and the other on thy left 
hand, in thy glor}\ 

38 But Jesus said unto them. Ye 
know not what ye ask : can ye drink 
of the cup that I drink of? and be 
baptized with the baptism that I am 
baptized with ? 

39 And they said unto him. We can. 
And Jesus said unto them. Ye shall 
indeed drink of the cup that I drink 
of; and with the baptism that I am 
baptized withal shall ye be baptized : 

40 But to sit on my right hand and 
on my left hand, is not mine to give ; 
but it shall he given to them for whom 
it is prepared. 

41 yAnd when the ten heard it, 
they began to be much displeased 
with James and John. 

42 But Jesus called them to him, 
and saith unto them, ^Ye know that 
they which || are accounted to rule 
over the Gentiles, exercise lordship 
over them ; and their great ones ex- 
ercise authority upon them. 

43 i^But so shall it not be among 
you : but whosoever will be great 
among you, shall be your minister : 

44 And whosoever of you will be 
the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 

45 For even ''the Son of man came 
not to be ministered unto, but to 
minister, and *^to give his life a ran- 
som for many. 

46 If'' And they came to Jericho: 
and as he went out of Jericho with 
his disciples, and a great number of 
people, blind Bartimeus, the son of 
Timeus, sat by the highway side 
begging. 

47 And when he heard that it was 
Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry 
out, and say, Jesus, thou son of Da- 
vid, have mercy on me. 

48 And many charged him that he 
should hold his peace : but he cried 
the more a great deal, Thou son of 
David, have mercy on me. 

49 And Jesus stood still, and com-

manded him to be called : and they 
call the blind man, saying unto him, 
Be of good comfort, rise ; he calleth 
thee. 

50 And he, casting away his gar- 
ment, rose, and came to Jesus. 

51 And Jesus answered and said 
unto him, What wilt thou that I 
should do unto thee 1 The blind man 
said unto him, Lord, that I might 
receive my sight. 

52 And Jesus said unto him. Go 
thy way ; <=thy faith hath || made thee 
whole. And immediately he received 
his sight, and followed Jesus in the 
way.

1 Christ rideihiriihirivmph into Jerusalem: 12 
eurseth the fniitless leafy tree: \5 purgcth the 
temple: 20 exhortethhis disciples to steadfast- 
ness of faith, and to forgive their enemies : 27 
and defendeth the lawfulness of his actions, by 
the witness of John, who was a man sent of 
God. 

ND i^when they came nigh to 
. Jerusalem, unto Bethphage, and 
Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he 
sendeth forth two of his disciples, 

2 And saith unto them. Go your 
way into the village over against you : 
and as soon as ye be entered into it, 
ye shall find a colt tied, whereon ne- 
ver man sat ; loose him, and bring 
him. 

3 And if any man say unto you. 
Why do ye this ? say ye that the 
Lord hath need of him ; and straight 
way he will send him hither. 

4 And they went their way, and 
found the colt tied by the door with- 
out, in a place where two ways met ; 
and they loose him. 

5 And certain of them that stood 
there said unto them, What do ye, 
loosing the colt ? 

6 And they said unto them even as 
Jesus had commanded : and they let 
them go. 

7 And they brought the colt to Je 
sus, and cast their garments on him ; 
and he sat upon him. 

8 ''And many spread their garments 
in the way : and others cut down 
branches off the trees, and strewed 
them in the way. 

9 And they that went before, and 
they that followed, cried, saying,

father David, that cometh in the 
name of the Lord : ^Hosanna in the 
highest. 

1 1 e And Jesus entered into Jeinisa- 
lem, and into the temple : and when 
he had looked round about upon all 
things, and now the even-tide was 
come, he went out unto Bethany, 
with the twelve. 

12 "^I^And on the morrow, when 
they were come from Bethany, he 
was hungry. 

13 sAnd seeing a fig-tree afar off, 
having leaves, he came, if hapjy he 
might find any thing thereon : and 
when he came to it, he found nothing 
but leaves : for the time of figs was 
not yet. 

14 And Jesus answei'ed and said 
unto it, No man eat fruit of thee 
hereafter for ever. And his disciples 
heard it. 

15 "il ii And they come to Jerusalem : 
and Jesus went into the temple, and 
began to cast out them that sold and 
bought in the temple, and overthrew 
the tables of the money-changers, and 
the seats of them that sold doves ; 

16 And would not suffer that any 
man should carry any vessel through 
the temple. 

1 7 And he taught, saying unto them, 
Is it not written, 'My house shall be 
called, II of all nations, the house of 
prayer ? but '^ye have made it a den 
of thieves. 

18 And 'the scribes and chief 
priests heard it^ and sought how they 
might destroy him : for they feared 
him, because ™all the people was 
astonished at his doctrine, 

19 And when even was come, he 
went out of the city. 

20 *!1 "And in the morning, as they 
passed by, they saw the fig-tree dried 
up from the roots. 

21 And Peter calling to remem- 
brance, saith unto him. Master, be- 
hold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst 
is withered away. 

22 And Jesus answering, saith un- 
to them, |[ Have faith in God. 

23 For overily I say unto you. That 
whosoever shall say unto this moun- 
tain. Be thou removed, and be thou 
cast into the sea ; and shall not doubt 
in his heart, but shall believe that 
those things which he saith sliall 

982 



Christ silenceth the priests, <^c. 

come to pass; he shall have what- 
soever he saith. 

24 Therefore I say unto you, 
4'V\1iat thmgs soever ye desire when 
ye pray, believe that ye receive 
them, and ye shall have the7n. 

25 And when ye stand praying, 

I forgive, if ye have aught against 
any: that your Father also which is 
in heaven may forgive you your tres- 
passes. 

2G But, nf ye do not forgive, nei- 
ther will your Father which is in 
heaven forgive your trespasses. 

27 Tf And they come again to Jeru- 
salem : Sand as he was walking in the 
temple, there come to him the chief 
priests, and the scribes, and the el- 
ders, 

28 And say unto him. By what au- 
thority doest thou these things ? and 
who gave thee this authority to do 
these things? 

29 And Jesus answered and said 
unto them, I will also ask of you one 

II question, and answer me, and I will 
tell you by what authority I do these 
things. 

30 The baptism of John, was it 
from heaven, or of men? answer me. 

31 And they reasoned with them- 
selves, saying. If we shall say, From 
iieaven ; he will say, AVhy then did 
ye not believe him ? 

32 But if we shall say. Of men; 
they feared the people: for 'all men 
counted John, tiiat he was a prophet 
indeed. 

33 And they answered and said un- 
to Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus 
answering saith unto them. Neither 
do 1 tell you by what authority I do 
these things.

and let it out to husbandmen, and 
went into a far country. 

2 And at the season he sent to the 
husbandmen a servant, that he might 
receive from the husbandmen of the 
fruit of the vineyard. 

3 And they caught him, and beat 
him, and sent him away empty. 

4 And again, he sent unto them an- 
other servant : and at him they cast 
stones, and wounded /u'wi in the head, 
and sent him away shamefully han- 
dled. 

5 And again he sent another; and 
him they killed, and many others; 
beating some, and killing some. 

6 Having yet therefore one son, his 
well-beloved, he sent him also last 
unto them, saying, They will re- 
verence my son. 

7 But those husbandmen said a- 
mong themselves. This is the heir ; 
come, let us kill him, and the inherit- 
ance shall be ours. 

8 And they took him, and killed 
him, and cast him out of the vine- 
yard. 

9 What shall therefore, the lord of 
the vineyard do? He will come and 
destroy the husbandmen, and will 
give the vineyard unto others. 

10 And have ye not read this scrip- 
ture; ''The stone which the builders 
rejected is become the head of the 
corner: 

1 1 This was the Lord's doing, and 
it is mars'ellous in our eyes? 

12 <=And they sought to lay hold on 
him, but feared the people ; for they 
knew that he had spoken the para- 
ble against them: and they left him, 
and went their way. 

13 Tl'^And they send unto him cer- 
tain of the Pharisees, and of the He- 
rodians, to catch him in his words. 

14 And when they were come, they 
say unto him. Master, we know that 
thou art true, and carest for no man : 
for thou regardest not the person of 
men, but teachest the way of God in 
truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to 
Cesar, or not? 

15 Shall we give, or shall we not 
give? But he, knovv-ing their hypo- 
crisy, said unto them. Why tempt ye 
me? bring me a || penny, that I may 
see it.

saith unto them, Whose is this image

17 And Jesus answering, said unto 
them, Render to Cesar the things 
that are Cesar's, and to God the 
things that are God's. And they 
marvelled at him. 

18 ^e Then come unto him the 
Sadducees, ^which say there is no 
resurrection; and they asked him, 
saying, 

19 Master, ? Moses wrote unto us. 
If a man's brother die, and leave his 
wife behind him, and leave no chil- 
dren, that his brother should take 
his wife, and raise up seed unto his 
brother. 

20 Now, there were seven brethren: 
and the first took a wife, and dying 
left no seed. 

21 And the second took her, and 
died, neither left he any seed: and 
the third likewise. 

22 And the seven had her, and left 
no seed : last of all the woman died 
also. 

23 In the resurrection therefore, 
when they shall rise, whose wife 
shall she be of them? for the seven 
had her to wife. 

24 And Jesus answering, said unto 
them. Do ye not therefore err, be- 
cause ye know not the scriptures, 
neither the power of God ? 

25 For when they shall rise from 
the dead, they neither marry, nor are 
given in marriage ; but ^ are as the 
angels which are in heaven. 

26 And as touching the dead, that 
they rise ; have ye not read in the 
book of Moses, how in the bush God 
spake unto him, saying, '■ I am the 
God of Abraham, and the God of 
Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 

27 He is not the God of the dead, 
but the God of the hving: ye there- 
fore do greatly err. 

28 TI^And one of the scribes came, 
and having heard them reasoning to- 
gether, and perceiving that he had an- 
swered them well, asked him. Which 
is the first commandment of all? 

29 And Jesus answered him. The 
first of all the commandments is, 
^Hear, O Israel ; The Lord our God 
is one Lord:

God with all thy heart, and with all 
thy soul, and with all thy mind, and

commandment. 

31 And the second is like, namely 
this, '" Thou shalt love thy neighbour 
as thyself : there is none other com- 
mandment greater than these. 

32 And the scribe said unto him, 
Well, Master, thou hast said the 
truth : for there is one God ; " and 
there is none other but he : 

33 And to love him with all the 
heart, and with all the understanding, 
and with all the soul, and with all the 
strength, and to love his neighbour 
as himself, ois more than all whole 
burnt-offerings and sacrifices. 

34 And when Jesus saw that he an- 
swered discreetly, he said unto him. 
Thou art not far from the kingdom 
of God. PAnd no man after that 
durst ask him any question. 

35 TI q And Jesus answered and 
said, while he taught in the temple, 
How say the scribes that Christ is 
the son of David? 

36 For David himself said ^ by the 
Holy Ghost, ^ The Lord said unto my 
Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till 
I make thine enemies thy footstool, 

37 David therefore himself calleth 
him Lord, and whence is he then his 
son? And the common people heard 
him gladly. 

38 *ll And t he said unto them in 
his doctrine, "Beware of the scribes, 
which love to go in long clothing, and 
*/o?;e salutations in the market-places, 

39 And the chief seats in the syna- 
gogues, and the uppermost rooms at 
feasts : 

40 y Which devour widows' houses, 
and for apretence make long prayers ; 
these shall receive greater damnation. 

41 TI^And Jesus sat over against 
the treasuiy, and beheld how the peo- 
ple cast [I money a into the treasury; 
and manythat were rich cast in much, 

42 And there came a certain poor 
widow, and she threw in two tl mites, 
which make a farthing. 

43 And he called unto him his dis- 
ciples, and saith unto them. Verily, I 
say unto you, That ^this poor widow 
hath cast more in, than all they 
which have cast into the treasury. 

44 For all they did cast in of their 

984 



The signs of 

abundance : but she of her want did 
cast in all that she had, '^even all her 
living.

Titan is to watch and pray, thai we he not found 
■unprovided, when, he cometh to each one parti- 
cularly by death. 

AND ^as hp went out of the tem- 
ple, one of his disciples saith 
vrnto him, Master, see what manner 
of stones, and what buildings are here! 
"2 And Jesus answering, said unto 
him, Seest thou these great build- 
ings? ''there shall not be left one 
stone upon another, that shall not be 
thrown down. 

3 And as he sat upon the mount of 
Olives, over against the temple, Peter, 
and James, and John, and Andrew, 
asked him privately, 

4 ^Tell us, when shall these things 
be ? and what shall be the sign when 
all these things shall be fulfilled ? 

5 And Jesus answering them, began 
to say, "^Take heed lest any man de- 
ceive you : 

6 For many shall come in my name, 
saying, I am Christ ; and shall de- 
ceive many. 

7 And when ye shall hear of wars, 
and nimours of wars, be ye not trou- 
bled: for such things must needs be ; 
but the end shall not he yet. 

8 For nation shall rise against na- 
tion, and kingdom against kingdom : 
and there shall be earthquakes in 
divers places, and there shall be fa- 
mines, and troubles: "these are the 
beginnings of {| sorrows. 

9 H But '"take heed to yourselves : 
for they shall deliver you up to coun- 
cils ; and in the synagogues ye shall 
be beaten : and ye shall be brought 
before rulers and kings for my sake, 
for a testimony against them. 

10 And ethe gospel must first be 
published among all nations. 

11 *'But when they shall lead you, 
and deliver you up, take no thought 
beforehand what ye shall speak, nei- 
ther do ye premeditate : but whatso- 
ever shall be given you in that hour, 
that speak ye : for it is not ye that 
speak, ibut the Holy Ghost. '

30 Verily, I say unto you, That this

things be done. 

31 Heaven and earth shall pass a- 
way : but ^my words shall not pass 
away. 

32 IT But of that day and that hour

which are in heaven, neither the Son, 
but the Father. 

33 a^Take ye heed, watch and pray: 
for ye know not when the time is. 

34 ^For the Son of man is as a man 
taking a far journey, who left his 
house, and gave authority to his ser- 
vants, and to every man his work ; 
and commanded the porter to watch. 

35 <= Watch ye therefore : for ye 
know not when the master of the 
house cometh, at even, or at mid- 
night, or at the cock-crowing, or in 
the morning : 

36 Lest coming suddenly, he find 
you sleeping. 

37 And what I say unto you, I say 
unto all. Watch.

1 A conspiracy against Christ. 3 Precious oint- 
ment is poured on his head by a woman. 10 Ju- 
das selleth h is Master for money. 12 Christ 
himself foretelleth how he shall be betrayed of 
one of his disciples : 22 after the passover pre- 
pared, and eaten, instituteih his supper : 26 de- 
clareth aforchand the flight of all his disciples, 
and Peter's denial. 43 Judas betrayeth him 
with a kiss. 46 He is apprehended in the gar- 
den, 52 falsely accused, and impiously condemn- 
ed of the Jews' council : 65 shamefully abused 
by them: 66 and thrice denied of Peter. 

AFTER ^two days was the feast 
of the passover, and of unlea- 
vened bread : and the chief priests, 
and the scribes, sought how they 
might take him by craft, and put 
him to death. 

2 But they said. Not on the feast- 
day, lest there be an uproar of the 
people.

house of Simon the leper, as he sat at 
meat, there came a woman having an.

nard, very precious ; and she brake 
the box, and poured it on his head. 

4 And there were some that had 
indignation within themselves, and 
said. Why was this waste of the 
ointment made ? 

5 For it might have been sold for 
more than three hundred || pence, and 
have been given to the poor. And 
they murmured against her. 

6 And Jesus said. Let her alone ; 
why trouble ye her? she hath wi'ought 
a good work on me. 

7 For cye have the poor with you' 
always, and whensoever ye will ye 
may do them good : but me ye have 
not always.

ion ''And Judas Iscariot, one of 
the twelve, went unto the chief 
priests, to betray him unto them. 

11 And when they heard it, they 
were glad, and promised to give him 
money. And he sought how he might 
conveniently betray him. 

12 II e And the first day of unlea- 
vened bread, when they || killed the 
passover, his disciples said unto him, 
Where wilt thou that we go and pre- 
pare, that thou mayest eat the pass- 
over 1 

13 And he sendeth forth two of his 
disciples, and saith unto them. Go ye 
into the city, and there shall meet 
you a m an be aring apitcherofwater: 
follow him. 

14 And wheresoever he shall go in, 
say ye to the good-man of the house, 
The Master saith, Where is the guest- 
chamber, where I shall eat the pass- 
over with my disciples 1 

15 And he will shew you a large 
upper room furnished and prepared : 
there make ready for us. 

16 And his disciples went forth, and 
came into the city, and found as he 
had said unto them : and they made 
ready the passover. 

17 ^And in the evening he cometh 
with the twelve. 

986 



Christ instituteth his last supper. 

18 And as they sat, and did eat, Je- 
sus said, Yerily I say unto you, One 
of you which eateth with me, shall 
betray me. 

19 And they began to be sorrowful, 
and to say unto him one by one. Is it 

I ? and another said, Is it I ? 

20 And he answered and said imto 
them. It is one of the twelve that 
dippeth with me in the dish. 

21 eThe Son of man indeed goeth, 
as it is written of liim : but wo to 
that man by whom the Son of man 
is betrayed! good were it for that 
man if he had never been born. 

22 T[ iiAnd as they did eat, Jesus 
took bread, and blessed, and brake 
it, and gave to them, and said, Take, 
eat : this is my body. 

23 And he took the cup, and when 
he had given thanks, he gave it to 
them : and they all drank of it. 

24 And he said unto them, This is 
my blood of the new testament, which 
is shed for many. 

25 Verily, I say unto you, I will drink 
no more of the fruit of the vine, un- 
til that day that I drink it new in the 
kingdom of God. 

20 H 'And when they had sung a 

II hymn, they went out into the mount 
of Olives. 

27 ''And Jesus saith unto them. All 
ye shall be offended because of me 
this night : for it is written, ' I will 
smite the shepherd, and the sheep 
shall be scattered. 

28 But "> after that I am risen, I will 
go before you into Galilee. 

29 "But Peter said unto him. Al- 
though all shall be offended, yet will 
not I. 

30 And Jesus saith unto him, Verily, 
I say unto thee. That this day, even 
in this night, before the cock crow 
twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. 

31 But he spake the more vehe- 
mently. If I should die with thee, I 
will not deny thee in any wise. Like- 
wise also said they all. 

32 °And they came to a place which 
was named Gethsemane : and he 
saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, 
while I shall pray. 

33 And he taketh with him Peter, 
and James, and John, and began to 
be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;

His agony and prayer in the garden. 

is exceeding sorrowful unto death : 
tarry ye here, and watch. 

35 And he went forward a little, and 
fell on the ground, and prayed that, 

f it were possible, the hour might 
pass from him, 

36 And he said, qAbba, Father, 'all 
things are possible unto thee ; take a- 
way this cup from me : ^ nevertheless, 
not what I w'ill, but what thou wilt. 

37 And he cometh, and findeth them 
sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Si- 
mon, sleepest thou ? couldest not thou 
watch one hour ? 

38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye en- 
ter into temptation. ^The spirit truly 
is ready, but the flesh is weak. 

39 And again he went away, and 
prayed, and spake the same words. 

40 And when he returned, he found 
them asleep again, (for their eyes 
were heavy ;) neither wist they what 
to answer him. 

41 And he cometh the third time, 
and saith unto them. Sleep on now, 
and take your rest: it is enough, "the 
hour is come; behold,theSonof man 
is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 

42 ^Rise up, let us go; lo, he that 
betrayeth me is at hand. 

43 II >' And immediately while he 
yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the 
twelve, and with him a great multi- 
tude with swords and staves, from 
the chief priests, and the scribes, and 
the elders. 

44 And he that betrayed him, had 
given them a token, saying. Whom- 
soever I shall kiss, that same is he ; 
take him, and lead him away safely. 

45 And as soon as he was come, he 
goeth straightway to him, and saith, 
Master, Master; and kissed him. 

46 II And they laid their hands on 
him, and took him. 

47 And one of them that stood by, 
drew a sword, and smote a servant 
of the high priest, and cut off his 
ear. 

48 ^And Jesus answered and said 
unto them. Are ye come out as a- 
gainst a thief, with swords and with 
staves to take me 1 

49 I was daily with you in the tem- 
ple, teaching, and ye took me not : 
but ^the .scriptures must be fulfilled. 

50 i-And thev all forsook him and 
fled. 

987 



Christ is falsely accused. 

51 And there followed him a cer- 
tain young man, having a linen cloth 
cast about Ids naked hodij ; and the 
young men laid hold on him. 

52 And he left the linen cloth, and 
fled from them naked. 

53 T[ f^ And they led Jesus away to 
the high priest : and with him were 
assembled all the chief priests, and 
the elders and the scribes. 

54 And Peter followed him afar off, 
even into the palace of the high 
priest : and he sat with the servants, 
and warmed himself at the fire. 

55 "^And the chief priests, and all 
the council, sought for witness against 
Jesus to put him to death ; and found 
none. 

56 For many bare false witness a- 
gainst him, but their witness agreed 
not together. 

57 And there arose certain, and bare 
false witness against him, saying, 

58 We heard him say, ^I will de- 
stroy this temple that is made with 
hands, and within three days I will 
build another made without hands. 

59 But neither so did their witness 
agree together. 

60 f And the high priest stood up 
in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, 
Answerest thou nothing ? what is it 
which these witness against thee 1 

61 But &he held his peace, and an- 
swered nothing. ^ Again the high 
priest asked him, and said unto him, 
Art thou the Christ, the Son of the 
Blessed ? 

62 And Jesus said, I am : ^and ye 
shall see the Son of man sitting on 
the right hand of power, and coming 
in the clouds of heaven. 

63 Then the high priest rent his 
clothes, and saith. What need we any 
further witnesses ? 

64 Ye have heard the blasphemy : 
what think ye ? And they all con- 
demned him to be guilty of death. 

65 And some began to spit on him, 
and to cover his face, and to buffet 
him, and to say unto him. Prophesy: 
and the servants did strike him with 
the palms of their hands. 

66 II kAnd as Peter was beneath in 
the palace, there cometh one of the 
maids of the high priest : 

67 And when she saw Peter warm- 
ing himself, she looked upon him.

not, neither understand I what thou 
sayest. And he went out into the 
porch ; and the cock crew.

began to say to them that stood by,

1 Jesus brought bound, aiuL accused before Pilate. 
15 Upon the clamour of the common people, the 
murderer Barabbas is loosed, and Jesus deliver- 
ed up to be crucified. 17 He is crowned with 
thorns, 19 spit on, and mocked : 21 fninteth in 
bearing his cross : 27 hangeth between two 
thieves : 29 suffereth the triumphing reproaches 
of the Jews : 39 but confessed by the centurion 
to be the Son of God : 43 and is honourably bu- 
ried by Joseph. 

AND a straightway in the morning 
the chief priests held a consult- 
ation with the elders and scribes, and 
the whole council, and bound Jesus, 
and carried him away, and delivered 
him to Pilate. 

2 ijAnd Pilate asked him, Art thou 
the King of the Jews ? And he an- 
swering, said unto hi m. Thou s ay est it. 

3 And the chief priests accused him 
of many things : but he answered no- 
thing. 

4 (^And Pilate asked him again, 
saying, Answerest thou nothing? be- 
hold how many things they witness 
against thee. 

5 ''But Jesus yet answered nothing; 
so that Pilate marvelled. 

6 Now ^at that feast he released 
unto them one prisoner, whomsoever 
they desired. 

7 And there was one named Barab- 
bas, which lay bound with them that 
had made insurrection with him, who 
had committed murder in the insur- 
rection. 

8 And the multitude crying aloud, 

988 



Christ IS crucified, reviled, 

began to desire Mm to do as he had 
ever done unto them. 

9 But Pilate answered them, say- 
ing, Will ye that I release unto you 
the King of the Jews ? 

10 (For he knew that the chief 
priests had delivered him for envy.) 

11 But ^the chief priests moved 
the people that he should rather re- 
lease Barabbas unto them. 

12 And Pilate answered, and said 
again unto them, AVhat will ye then 
that I shall do unio him whom ye 
call the King of the Jews? 

13 And they cried out again. Cru- 
cify him. 

14 Then Pilate said unto them, 
Why, what evil hath he done ? And 
they cried out the more exceedingly. 
Crucify him. 

15 "H fe'And so Pilate, willing to con 
tent the people, released Barabbas 
unto them, and delivered Jesus, 
when he had scourged him, to be 
crucified. 

IG '' And the soldiers led him away 
into the hall, called Pretorium ; and 
they called together the whole band ; 

17 And they clothed him with pur- 
ple, and platted a crown of thorns, 
and put it about his head, 

18 And began to salute him. Hail, 
King of the Jews ! 

19 And they smote him on the head 
with a reed, and did spit upon him, 
and^bowing their knees, worshipped 
him. 

20 And when they had mocked 
him, they took off the purple from 
liim, and put his own clothes on 
him, and led him out to crucify him. 

21 'And they compel one Simon a 
Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out 
of the country, the father of Alexan 
dcr and Rufus, to bear his cross. 

22 ^ And they bring him unto the 
place Golgotha, which is, being in- 
terpreted. The place of a skull. 

23 'And they gave him to drink, 
wine mingled with myrrh : but he 
received it not. 

24 And when they had crucified 
him, "' they parted his garments, 
casting lots upon them, what every 
man should take. 

25 And "it was the third hour, and 
they crucified him.

KING OF THE JEWS. 

27 And P with him they crucify two 
thieves, the one on his right hand, 
and the other on his left. 

28 And the scripture was fulfilled, 
which saith, lAnd he was numbered 
with the transgressors. 

29 And Uhey that passed by, railed 
on him, wagging their heads, and 
saying. Ah, s thou that destroyest the 
temple, and buildest it in three days, 

30 Save thyself, and come down 
from the cross. 

31 Likewise also the chief priests 
mocking, said among themselves with 
thfc scribes, He saved others ; him- 
self he cannot save. 

32 Let Christ the King of Israel 
descend now from the cross, that we 
may see and believe. And Uheythat 
were crucified with him, reviled him. 

33 And "when the sixth hour was 
come, there was darkness over the 
whole land, until the ninth hour. 

34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cri- 
ed with a loud voice, saying, ■'' Eloi, 
Eloi, lama sabaclithani .' which is, 
being interpreted. My God, my God, 
why hast thou forsaken me ? 

35 And some of them that stood 
by, when they heard it, said. Behold, 
he calleth Elias. 

30 And >'one ran and filled a sponge 
full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, 
and 2 gave him to drink, saying. Let 
alone ; let us see whether Elias will 
come to take him down. 

37 ^ And Jesus cried with a loud 
voice, and gave up the ghost. 

38 And "^tlie vail of the temple was 
rent in twain, from the top to the 
bottom. 

39 H And cv\hen the centurion 
which stood over against him, saw 
that he so cried out, and gave up the 
ghost, he said. Truly this man was 
the Son of God. 

40 '^ There were also women looking 
on c afar off, among whom was Mary 
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of 
James the less, and of Joses, and Sa- 
lome ; 

41 Who also, when he was in Ga-

unto him ; and many other women

that is, the day before the sabbath,) 

43 Joseph of Arimathea, an ho- 
nourable counsellor,which also ^^wait- 
ed for the kingdom of God, came, 
and went in boldly unto Pilate, and 
craved the body of Jesus. 

44 And Pilate marvelled if he were 
already dead : and calling unto him 
the centurion, he asked him whether 
he had been any while dead. 

45 And when he knew it of the 
centurion, he gave the body to Jo- 
seph. 

46 i And he bought fine linen, and 
took him down, and wrapped him in 
the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre 
which was hewn out of a rock, and 
rolled a stone unto the door of the 
sepulchre. 

47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary 
the mother of Joses beheld where he 
was laid.

1 An angel declareth the resurrectimi of Christ

sendeth forth to preach the gospel : 19 and 
asccndcih into heaven. 

ND ^when the sabbath was past, 
Mary Magdalene, and Maiy the 
mother of James, and Salome, ^had

come and anoint him. 

2 '^ And very early in the morning,

Who shall roll us away the stone 
from the door of the sepulchre ? 

4 (And when they looked, they saw 
that the stone was rolled away,) for 
it was veiy great. 

5 ''And entering into the sepulchre, 
they saw a young man sitting on the 
right side, clothed in a long white 
garment ; and they were affrighted. 

6 "And he saith unto them, Be not 
affrighted : ye seek Jesus of Naza- 
reth, which was crucified : he is risen ; 
he is not here: behold the place 
where they laid him.

7 But go your way, tell his disciples 
and Peter, that he goeth before you 
into Gahlee : there shall ye see him, 
fas he said unto you. 

8 And they went out quickly, and 
fled from the sepulchre ; for they 
trembled, and were amazed : s neither 
said they any thing to any man; for 
they were afraid. 

9 TI Now, when Jesus was risen early, 
the first day of the week, ''he appear- 
ed first to Mary Magdalene, ^ out of 
whom he had cast seven devils. 

10 ^A7id she went and told them 
that had been with him, as they 
mourned and wept. 

1 1 1 And they, when they had heard 
that he was alive, and had been seen 
of her, beheved not. 

12 TI After that, he appeared in an- 
other form ™untotwoof them,as they 
walked, and went into the country. 

13 And they went and told it unto 
the residue : neither believed they 
them. 

14 TI "Afterward he appeared unto 
the eleven, as they sat || at meat, and 
upbraided them with their unbelief, 
and hardness of heart, because they 
believed not them which had seen 
him after he was risen. 

15 "And he said unto them, Go ye 
into all the world, Pand preach the 
gospel to every creature. 

16 iHe that believeth and is bap- 
tized, shall be saved ; ^ but he that 
believeth not, shall be damned. 

17 And these signs shall follow 
them that believe : ^In my name 
shall they cast out devils; * they 
shall speak with new tongues ; 

18 "They shall take up serpents; and 
if they drink any deadly thing, it shall 
not hurt them; -'^they shall lay hands 
on the sick, and they shall recover. 

19 H So then, rafter the Lord had 
spoken unto them, he was ^ received 
up into heaven, and 3- sat on the right 
hand of God. 

20Andtheywentforth, and preach- 
ed every where, the Lord working 
with them, i^and confirming the word 
with signs following. Amen.

FORASMUCH as many have 
taken in hand to set forth in or- 
der adeclaration of those things which 
are most surely beheved among us, 

2 ^ Even as they dehvered them 
unto us, which ''from the beginning 
were eye-witnesses, and ministers of 
the word ; 

3 <^It seemed good to me also, hav- 
ing had perfect understanding of all 
things from the ver}- first, to write 
unto thee ''in order, «most excellent 
Theophilus, 

4 fjhat thou mightest know the 
certainty of those things wherein 
thou hast been instructed. 

5 t npHERE was gin the days 

JL of Herod the king of Ju- 
dea, a certain priest named Zacha- 
rias, ''of the course of Abia: and his 
wife was of the daughters of Aaron, 
and her name icas Elisabeth. 

6 And they were botli "righteous 
before God, walking in all the com- 
mandments and ordinances of the 
Lord blameless. 

7 And they had no child, because 
that Elisabeth was barren ; and tliey 
both were now; well stricken in years. 

8 And it came to pass, that, while 
he executed the priest's office before 
God *= in the order of his course, 

According to the custom of the 
priest's office, his lot was 'to burn 
incense when he went into the tem- 
ple of the Lord. 

10 ">And the whole multitude of 
the people were praying without, at 
the time of incense. 

11 And there appeared unto him 
an angel of the Lord, standing on 
the right side of "the altar of incense. U Eiod. 30. 

1 2 And when Zacharias saw // im, "he 1 ".Judir. e.^ 
was troubled, and fear fell upon him. 5^._i6.a" 

13 But the angel said unto him, 
Fear not, Zacharias : for thy prayer 
is heard ; and thy wife Elisabeth 
shall bear thee a son, and Pthou shalt 
call his name John. 

14 And thou shalt have jov and 
gladness, and 'imany shall Yejoice at 
his birth.

16 tAnd many of the children of 
Israel shall he turn to the Lord their 
God. 

17 «And he shall go before him in 
the spirit and power of Elias, to 
turn the hearts of the fathers to the 
children, and the disobedient || to the 
wisdom of the just ; to make ready 
a people prepared for the Lord. 

18 And Zacharias said unto the 
angel, > Whereby shall I know this? 
for I am an old man, and my wife 
well stricken in years. 

19 And the angel answering, said 
unto him, I am ^ Gabriel, that stand 
in the presence of God : and am sent 
to speak unto thee, and to shew thee 
these glad tidings. 

20 And behold, ^thou shalt be 
dumb, and not able to speak, until 
the day that these things shall be 
performed, because thou believcst not 
my words, which shall be fulfilled in 
their season. 

21 And the people waited for Za- 
charias, and manelled that he tarried 
so long in the temple. 

22 And when he came out. he could 
not speak unto them : and they per- 
ceived that he had seen a vision in 
the temple : for he beckoned unto 
them, and remained speechless. 

23 And it came to pass, that as 
soon as ''the days of his ministration 
were accomplished, he departed to 
his own house. 

24 And after those days his wife 
Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself 
five months, saying, 

25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with 
me in the days wherein he looked on 
me, to <= take away my reproach among 
men. 

26 And in the sixth month the an- 
gel Gabriel was sent from God unto 
a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 

27 To a virgin (^ espoused to a man 
whose name was Joseph, of the house 
of David ; and the virgin's name was 
Mar>'. 

28 And the angel came in unto her, 
and said, «Hail, thou that art llhigh-

ly favoured, fthe Lord is with thee : 
blessed art thou among women. 

29 And when she saw him, gshe 
was troubled at his saying, and cast 
in her mind what manner of saluta- 
tion this should be. 

30 And the angel said unto her, 
Fear not, Mary : for thou hast found 
favour with God. 

31 i^And behold, thou shalt con- 
ceive in thy womb, and bring forth a 
son, and i shalt call his name JESUS. 

32 He shall be great, "^and shall be 
called the Son of the Highest ; and 
Uhe Lord God shall give unto him 
the throne of his father David. 

33 ™And he shall reign over the 
house of Jacob for ever ; and of his 
kingdom there shall be no end. 

34 Then said Mary unto the angel. 
How shall this be, seeing I know not 
a man ? 

35 And the angel answered and 
said unto her, "The Holy Ghost 
shall come upon thee, and the power 
ofthe Highest shall overshadow thee: 
therefore also that holy thing which 
shall be born of thee, shall be called 
"the Son of God. 

36 And behold, thy cousin Elisa- 
beth, she hath also conceived a son 
in her old age ; and this is the sixth 
month with her who was called bar- 
ren: 

37 For Pwith God nothing shall be 
impossible. 

38 And Mary said. Behold the 
handmaid of the Lord, be it unto 
me according to thy w^ord. And the 
angel departed from her. 

39 And Mary arose in those days, 
and went into the hill-country with 
haste, n into a city of Juda, 

40 And entered into the house of 
Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. 

41 And it came to pass, that when 
Elisabeth heard the salutation of 
Mary, the babe leaped in her womb : 
and Elisabeth was filled with the 
Holy Ghost. 

42 And she spake out with a loud 
voice and said, "^Blessed a7't thou a- 
mong women, and blessed is the fruit 
of thy womb. 

43 And whence is this to me, that 
the mother of my Lord should come 
to me ?

Mary's song of thanksgiving. 
thy salutation sounded in mine ears, 
the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 

45 And blessed is she || that behev- 
ed : for there shall be a performance 
of those things which were told her 
from the Lord. 

46 And Mary said, ^My soul doth 
magnify the Lord, 

47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in 
God my Saviour. 

48 For the hath regarded the low 
estate of his handmaiden : for be- 
hold, from henceforth "all genera- 
tions shall call me blessed. 

49 For he that is mighty ^^hath 
done to me great things ; and ^^holy 
is his name. 

50 And yhis mercy is on them that 
fear him, from generation to genera- 
tion. 

51 ^He hath shewed strength with 
his arm ; ^ he hath scattered the proud 
in the imagination of their hearts. 

52 •'He hath put down the mighty 
from their seats, and exalted them of 
low degree. 

53 "^He hath filled the hungry with 
good things, and the rich he hath 
sent empty away. 

54 He hath holpen his servant Is- 
rael, "^in remembrance of his mercy; 

55 <=As he spake to our fathers, to 
Abraham, and to his seed, for ever. 

56 And Mary abode with her about 
three months, and returned to her 
own house. 

57 Now Elisabeth's full time came 
that she should be delivered ; and she 
brought forth a son. 

58 And her neighbours and her 
cousins heard how the Lord had 
shewed great mercy upon her ; and 
f they rejoiced with her. 

59 And it came to pass, that eon the 
eighth day they came to circumcise 
the child ; and they called him Za- 
charias, after the name of his father. 

60 And his mother answered and 
said, hNot so ; but he shall be called 
John. 

61 And they said unto her, There 
is none of thy kindred that is called 
by this name. 

62 And they made signs to his fa- 
ther, how he would have him called. 

63 And he asked for a writing-ta- 
ble, and wrote, saying, 'His name is 
John. And they marvelled all.

The prophecy of Zacharias. 

64 i^And his mouth was opened im- 
mediately, and his tongue loosed, and 
he spake, and praised God. 

65 And fear came on all that dwelt 
round about them : and all these || say- 
ings were noised abroad throughout 
all 'the hill-counlry of Judea. 

66 And all they that heard them, 
""laid them up in their hearts, saying, 
What manner of child shall this be I 
And ° the hand of the Lord was with 
him. 

67 And his father Zacharias "was 
filled with die Holy Ghost, and pro- 
phesied, saying, 

68 P Blessed he the Lord God of Is- 
rael ; for <\ he hath visited and redeem- 
ed his people, 

69 ''And hath raised up a horn of 
salvation for us, in the house of his 
servant David : 

70 »As he spake by the mouth of 
his holy prophets, which have been 
since the world began : 

71 That we should be saved from 
our enemies, and from the hand of 
all that hate us; 

72 'To perform the mercy promised 
to our fathers, and to remember his 
holy covenant; 

73 "The oath which he sware to our 
father Abraham, 

74 That he would grant unto us, that 
we, being delivered out of the hand of 
our enemies, might * serve him with- 
out fear, 

75 J'ln lioliness and righteousness 
before him, all the days of our life. 

76 And thou, child, slialt be called 
the Prophet of the Highest, for ^thou 
shall go before the face of the Lord 
to prepare his ways; 

77 To give knowledge of salvation 
unto his people, ^||by the remission 
of their sins, 

78 Through the || tender mercy of 
our God ; whereby the || day-spring 
from on high hath visited us, 

79 ''To give light to them that sit in 
darkness and in the shadow of death,to 
guide our feet into the way of peace. 

80 And "^the child grew, and waxed 
strong in spirit, and '^ was in the de- 
serts till the day of his shewing unto 
Israel.

AND it came to pass in those 
days, that there went out a de- 
cree from Cesar Augustus, that all 
the world should be || taxed. 

2 {^And this taxing was first made 
when Cyrenius was governor of Sy- 
ria.) 

3 And all went to be taxed, every 
one into his own city. 

4 And Joseph also went up from 
Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, 
into Judea, unto ''the city of David, 
which is called Bethlehem, (^ be- 
cause he was of the house and line- 
age of David,) 

5 To be taxed with Mary "^his es- 
poused wife, being great with child. 

6 And so it was, that while they 
were there,the days were accomplish- 
ed that she should be delivered. 

7 And "^she brought forth her first- 
born son, and wrapped him in swad- 
dling-clothes, and laid him in a man- 
ger : because there was no room for 
them in the inn. 

8 And there were in the same coun- 
try shepherds abiding in the field, 
keeping || watch over their flock by 
night. 

9 And lo, the angel of the Lord 
came upon them, and the glory of 
the Lord shone round about them ; 
'and they were sore afraid. 

10 And the angel said unto them, 
Fear not: for behold, I bring you 
good tidings of great joy, gwhicli 
shall be to all people. 

11 •'For unto you is born this day, 
in the city of David, 'a Saviour, •< which 
is Christ the Lord. 

12 And this shall be a sign unto 
you ; Ye shall find the babe wrapped 
in swaddling-clothes, lying in a man- 
ger. 

13 'And suddenly there was with 
the angel a multitude of the heavenly 
host praising God, and saying, 

14 '"Glory to God in the highest, 
and on earth "peace, ogood will to- 
ward men. 

15 And it came to pass, as the an- 
gels were gone away from them into 
heaven, f the shepherds said one to 
another. Let us now go even unto 

993 



The circumcision of Christ. 

Bethlehem, and see this thing which 
is come to pass, which the Lord hath 
made known unto us. 

16 And they came with haste, and 
found Mary and Joseph, and the babe 
lying in a manger. 

1 7 And when they had seen it, they 
made known abroad the saying which 
was told them concerning this child. 

18 And all they that heard it, won- 
dered at those things which were told 
them by the shepherds. 

19 PBut Mary kept all these things, 
and pondered them in her heart. 

20 And the shepherds returned, glo- 
rifying and praising God for all the 
things that they had heard and seen, 
as it was told unto them. 

21 q And when eight days were ac- 
comphshed for the circumcising of 
the child, his name was called "■ JE- 
SUS, which was so named of the an- 
gel before he was conceived in the 
womb. 

22 And when the s days of her puri- 
fication according to the law of Moses 
were accomphshed, they brought him 
to Jerusalem, to present hivi to the 
Lord ; 

23 (As it is written in the law of the 
Lord, 'Every male that openeth the 
womb shall be called holy to the 
Lord ;) 

24 And to offer a sacrifice accord- 
ing to "that which is said in the law 
of the Lord, A pair of turtle-doves, or 
two young pigeons. 

25 And behold, there was a man in 
Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; 
and the same man was just and de- 
vout, -^waiting for the consolation of 
Israel : and the Holy Ghost was up- 
on him. 

26 And it was revealed unto him 
by the Holy Ghost, that he should 
not ysee death, before he had seen 
the Lord's Christ. 

27 And he came ^by the Spirit in- 
to the temple ; and when the parents 
brought in the child Jesus, to do for 
him after the custom of the law, 

28 Then took he him up in his 
arms, and blessed God, and said, 

29 Lord, a now lettest thou thy ser- 
vant depart in peace, according to thy 
word: 

1 30 For mine eyes "'have seen thy 
salvation,

the face of all people ;

and the glory of thy people Israel. 

33 And Joseph and his mother mar- 
velled at those things which were 
spoken of him. 

34 And Simeon blessed them, and 
said unto Mary his mother, Behold, 
this child is set for the "^fall and 
rising again of many in Israel ; and 
for ^a sign which shall be spoken 
against ; 

35 (Yea, ^a sword shall pierce 
through thy own soul also ;) that the 
thoughts of many hearts may be re- 
vealed. 

36 And there was one Anna, a pro- 
phetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of 
the tribe of Aser : she was of a great 
age, and had lived with a husband 
seven years from her virginity ; 

37 And she was a widow of about 
fourscore and four years, which de- 
parted not from the temple, but serv- 
ed God with fastings and prayers 
8 night and day. 

38 And she coming in that instant, 
gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, 
and spake of him to all them that 
h looked for redemption in || Jerusa- 
lem. 

39 And when they had performed 
all things according to the law of the 
Lord, they returned into Galilee, to 
their own city Nazareth. 

40 'And the child grew, and waxed 
strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; 
and the grace of God was upon him. 

41 Now his parents went to Jeru- 
salem ■* every year at the feast of the 
passover. 

42 And when he was twelve years 
old, they went up to Jerusalem after 
the custom of the feast. 

43 And when they had fulfilled the 
days, as they returned, the child Jesus 
tarried behind in Jerusalem ; and Jo- 
seph and his mother knew not of it. 

44 But they, supposing him to have 
been in the company, went a day's 
journey; and they sought him among 
their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 

45 And when they found him not, 
they turned back again to Jerusalem, 
seeking him. 

46 And it came to pass, that after 
three days they found him in the tem-

were amazed: and his mother said

His testimony of Christ, 

him, f O generation of vipers, who 
hath warned you to flee from the 
wrath to come ? 

8 Bring forth therefore fruits || wor 
thy of repentance, and begin not to 
say within yourselves,We have Abra- 
ham to our father : for I say unto 
you. That God is able of these stones 
to raise up children unto Abraham. 

9 And now also the axe is laid unto 
the root of the trees: ? every tree 
therefore which bringeth not forth 
good fruit, is hewn down, and cast 
into the fire. 

1 And the people asked him, say- 
ing, h"\Vhat shall we do then? 

1 1 He answereth and saith unto 
them, 'He that hath two coats, let 
him impart to him that hath none ; 
and he that hath meat, let him do 
likewise. 

12 Then ^ came alsopubhcans to be 
baptized, and said unto him. Master, 
what shall we do ? 

13 And he said unto them, 'Exact 
no more than that which is appoint- 
ed you. 

14 And the soldiers likewise de- 
manded of him, saying. And what 
shall we do? And he said unto them, 
II Do violence to no man, "> neither 
accuse any falsely ; and be content 
with your || wages. 

15 And as the people were ||in ex- 
pectation, and all men || mused in 
their hearts of John, whether he were 
the Christ, or not ; 

16 John answered, saying unto them 
all, "I indeed baptize you with water; 
but one mightier than I cometh, the 
latchet of whose shoes I am not wor- 
thy to unloose : he shall baptize you 
with the Holy Ghost, and with fire : 

17 AVhose fan is in his hand, and 
he will thoroughly purge his floor, and 
° will gather the wheat into his gar- 
ner ; but the chaff he will burn with 
fire unquenchable.

exhortation preached he unto the 
peop'.?.

reproved by him for Herodias his 
brother Philip's wife, and for all the 
evils which Herod had done,

Ghost, returned from Jordan, 
and '' was led by the Spirit into the 
wilderness, 

2 Being forty days tempted of the 
devil. And <=in those days he did eat 
nothing : and when they were ended, 
he afterward hungered. 

3 And the devil said unto him, If 
thou be the Son of God, command 
this stone that it be made bread. 

4 And Jesus answered him, saying, 
d It is written. That man shall not live 
by bread alone, but by every word 
of God. 

5 And the devil, taking him up into 
a high mountain, shewed unto him 
all the kingdoms of the world in a 
moment of time.

this power will I give thee, and the 
glory of them: for ^that is delivered 
unto me, and to whomsoever I will, 
I give it. 

7 If thou therefore wilt || worship 
me, all shall be thine.

8 And Jesus answered and said un- 
to him, Get thee behind me, Satan : 
for fit is written. Thou shalt worship 
the Lord thy God, and him only shalt 
thou sei-ve. 

9 eAnd he brought him to Jerusa- 
lem, and set him on a pinnacle of the 
temple, and said unto him, If thou be 
the Son of God, cast thyself down 
from hence. 

10 For i^it is written. He shall give 
his angels charge over thee, to keep 
thee : 

11 And in their hands they shall 
bear thee up, lest at any time thou 
dash thy foot against a stone. 

12 And Jesus answering, said unto 
him, 'It is said. Thou shalt not tempt 
the Lord thy God. 

13 And when the devil had ended 
all the temptation, he departed from 
him ''for a season. 

14 "[[^And Jesus returned niin the 
power of the Spirit into " Galilee : 
and there went out a fame of him 
through all the region round about. 

15 And he taught in their syna- 
gogues, being glorified of all. 

16 lAnd he came to oNazareth, 
where he had been brought up : and, 
as his custom was, Phe went into the 
synagogue on the sabbath-day, and 
stood up for to read. 

1 7 And there was delivered unto him 
the book of the prophet Esaias. And 
when he had opened the book, he 
found the place where it was written, 

18 iThe Spirit of the Lord is upon 
me, because he hath anointed me to 
preach the gospel to the poor ; he 
hath sent me to heal the broken- 
hearted, to preach deliverance to the 
captives, and recovering of sight to 
the blind, to set at liberty tliem that 
are bruised, 

19 To preach the acceptable year 
of the Lord. 

20 And he closed the book, and he 
gave it again to the minister, and sat 
down. And the eyes of all them that 
were in the synagogue were fastened 
on him. 

21 And he began to say unto them. 
This day is this scripture fulfilled in 
your ears.

He casteth out a devil. 

And they said, ^Is not this Joseph's 
son? 

23 And he said unto them. Ye will 
surely say unto me this proverb, Phy- 
sician, heal thyself: whatsoever we 
have heard done in * Capernaum, do 
also here in "thy country. 

24 And he said, Verily, I say unto 
you, No ^prophet is accepted in his 
own countr}'. 

25 But I tell you of a truth, ymany 
widows were in Israel in the days of 
Elias, when the heaven was shut up 
three years andsixmonths,whengreat 
famine was throughout all the land : 

26 But unto none of them was Elias 
sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Si- 
don, unto a woman that was a widow. 

27 ^And many lepers were in Israel 
in the time of Eliseus the prophet ; 
and none of them was cleansed, sav- 
ing Naaman the Syrian. 

28 And all they in the synagogue, 
when they heard these thuigs, were 
filled with wrath, 

29 And rose up, and thrust him out 
of the city, and led him unto the 
II brow of the hill, (whereon their city 
was built,) that they might cast him 
down headlong. 

30 But he, 1 passing through the 
midst of them, went his way, 

31 And ''came down to Capernaum, 
a city of Galilee, and taught them on 
the sabbath-days. 

32 And they were astonished at his 
doctrine: "^for his word was with 
power. 

33 II ''And in the synagogue there 
was a man which had a spirit of an 
unclean devil ; and he cried out with 
a loud voice, 

34 Saying, || Let us alone ; what 
have we to do with thee, thou Jesus 
of Nazareth ? art thou come to de- 
stroy us? ''I know thee who thou 
art, ""the Holy One of God. 

35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying. 
Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 
And when the devil had thrown him 
in the midst, he came out of him, and 
hurt him not. 

36 And they were all amazed, and 
spake among themselves, saying, 
What a word is this ! for with autho- 
rity and power he commandeth the 
unclean spirits, and they come out. 

37 And the fame of him went out

Peter's mother-in-law healed. 

into every place of the country round 
about. 

38 TT s And he arose out of the 
synagogue, and entered into Simon's 
house. And Simon's wife's mother 
was taken with a great fever ; and 
they besought him for her. 

39 And he stood over her, and re- 
buked the fever ; and it left her : and 
immediately she arose and ministered 
unto them. 

40 ^ ^Now, when the sun was set- 
ting, all they that had any sick with 
divers diseases, brought them unto 
him : and he laid his hands on every 
one of them, and healed them. 

41 'And devils also came out of 
many, crying out, and saying, Thou 
art Christ the Son of God. And ^he, 
rebuking them, suffered them not || to 
speak : for they knew that he was 
Christ. 

42 'And when it was day, he depart- 
ed, and went into a desert place ; and 
the people sought him, and came 
unto him, and stayed him, that he 
should not depart from them. 

43 And he said unto them, I must 
preach the kingdom of God to other 
cities also, for therefore am I sent. 

44 ™And he preached in the syna- 
gogues of Galilee.

down, and taught the people out of

The miraculous draught of fishes, 

5 And Simon answering, said unto 
him. Master, we have toiled all the 
night, and have taken nothing ; ne- 
vertheless, at thy word I will letdown 
the net. 

6 And when they had this done, 
they enclosed a great multitude of 
fishes : and their net brake. 

7 And they beckoned unto their 
partners, which were in the other 
ship, that they should come and help 
them. And they came, and filled both 
the ships, so that they began to sink. 

8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell 
down at Jesus' knees, saying, <= De- 
part from me ; for I am a sinful man, 
O Lord. 

9 For he was astonished, and all that 
were with him, at the draught of the 
fishes which they had taken : 

10 And so was also James and 
John the sons of Zebedee, which 
were partners with Simon. And Je- 
sus said unto Simon, Fear not: ''from 
henceforth thou shalt catch men. 

11 And when they had brought 
their ships to land, ^they forsook all, 
and followed him. 

12 ^'And it came to pass, when 
he was in a certain city, behold, aman 
full of leprosy : who seeing Jesus, fell 
on his face, and besought him, say- 
ing, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst 
make me clean. 

13 And he put forth his hand and 
touched him, saying, I will : Be thou 
clean. And immediately the leprosy 
departed from him. 

14 & And he charged him to tell no 
man : but go, and shew thyself to the 
priest, and offer for thy cleansing, 
'^ according as Moses commanded, 
for a testimony unto them. 

1 5 But so much the more went there 
a fame abroad of him : ' and great 
multitudes came together to hear 
and to be healed by him of their in- 
firmities. 

16 ^ k And he withdrew himself in- 
to the wilderness, and prayed. 

17 And it came to pass on a certain 
day, as he was teaching, that there 
were Pharisees and doctors of the law 
sitting by, which were come out of 
every town of Galilee, and Judea, 
and Jerusalem : and the power of the 
Lord was present to heal them. 

18 If 'And behold, men brought in 

998 



Christ healeth the sick of the palsy. 

a bed a man which was taken with a 
palsy: andthey sought wzeans to bring 
him in, and to lay him before him. 

19 And when they could not find by 
what way they might bring him in, 
because of the multitude, they went 
upon the house-top, and let him down 
through the tiling with his couch, 
into the midst before Jesus. 

20 And when he saw their faith, he 
said unto him, Man, thy sins are for- 
given thee. 

21 "And the scribes and the Pha- 
risees began to reason, saying. Who 
is this which speaketh blasphemies? 
n Who can forgive sins but God 
alone ? 

22 But when Jesus perceived their 
thoughts, he answering, said unto 
them, What reason ye in your hearts? 

23 Whether is easier, "to say, Thy 
sins be forgiven thee ; or to say. Rise 
up and walk? 

24 But that ye may know that the 
Son of man hath power upon earth 
to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick 
of the palsy,) I say unto thee. Arise, 
and take up thy couch, and go unto 
thy house. 

25 And immediately he arose up 
before them, and took up that where- 
on he lay, and departed to his own 
house, glorifying God. 

26 And they were all amazed, and 
they glorified God, and were filled 
with fear, saying. We have seen 
strange things to-day. 

27 II °And after these things he 
went forth, and saw a publican nam- 
ed Levi, sitting at the receipt of cus- 
tom : and he said unto him, Follow 
me. 

28 And he left all, rose up, and 
followed him. 

29 P And Levi made him a great 
feast in his own house; and q there 
was a great company of publicans, 
and of others that sat down with them. 

30 But their scribes and Pharisees 
murmured against his disciples, say- 
ing, Why do ye eat and drink with 
publicans and sinners ? 

31 And Jesus answering, said unto 
them. They that are whole need not 
a physician; but they that are sick. 

32 ""Icame not to call the righte- 
ous, but sinners to repentance.

ber fast while the bridegroom is with 
them ? 

35 But the days will come, when 
the bridegroom shall be taken away 
from them, and then shall they fast 
in those days. 

36 T[ t And he spake also a parable 
unto them: No man putteth a piece 
of a new garment upon an old : if 
otherwise, then both the new maketh 
a rent, and the piece that was taken 
out of the new, agreeth "not with the 
old. 

37 And no man putteth new wine 
into old bottles; else the new wine 
will burst the bottles, and be spilled, 
and the bottles shall perish. 

38 But new wine must be put into 
new bottles, and both are preserved. 

39 No man also having drunk old 
wine, straightway desireth new : for 
he saith, The old is better.

hearing of the word: lest in the evil day of 
temptation ire fall like a house built upon the 
face of the earth, without any foundation.

cond sabbath after the first, that 
he went through the corn-fields ; and 
his disciples plucked the ears of corn, 
and did eat, 
hands. 

2 And certain of the Pharisees said 
unto them. Why do ye that ^ which is 
not lawful to do on the sabbath-days? 

3 And Jesus answering them, said. 
Have ye not read so much as this, 
= what David did, when himself was 
a hungered, and they which were 
with him ; 

4 How he went into the house of 
God, and did take and eat the shew- 
bread, and gave also to them that 
were with him, "^ which it is not law- 
ful to eat but for the priests alone ? 

5 And he said unto them. That 
the Son of man is Lord also of the

6 ^ And it came to pass also on an-

was a man whose right hand was 
withered : 

7 And the scribes and Pharisees 
watched him, whether he would heal 
on the sabbath-day; that they might 
find an accusation against him. 

8 But he knew their thoughts, and 
said to the man which had the wi- 
thered hand. Rise up, and stand forth 
in the midst. And he arose, and 
stood forth, 

9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will 
ask you one thing ; Is it lawful on the 
sabbath-days to do good, or to do 
evil ? to save life, or to destroy it ? 

10 And looking round about upon 
them all, he said unto the man, Stretch 
forth thy hand. And he did so : and 
his hand was restored whole as the 
other. 

11 And they were filled with mad- 
ness; and communed one with an- 
other what they might do to Jesus. 

12 f And it came to pass in those 
days, that he went out into a moun-

ye poor; for yours is the kingdom

that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 

22 1 Blessed are ye when men shall 
hate you, and when they "■ shall sepa- 
rate you from their company, and 
shall reproach you, and cast out 
your name as evil, for the Son of 
man's sake. 

23 sRejoice ye in that day, and leap 
for joy : for behold, your reward is 
great in heaven : for * in the like man- 
ner did their fathers unto the pro- 
phets.

consolation.

for ye shall hunger. » Wo unto you 
that laugh now ! for ye shall mourn 
and weep. 

26 ^Wo unto you, when all men 
shall speak well of you ! for so did 
their fathers to the false prophets. 

27 H c But I say unto you which 
hear, Love your enemies, do good to 
them which hate you, 

28 Bless them that curse you, and 
^ pray for them which despitefully 
use you. 

29 ^And unto him that smiteth thee 
on the one cheek, offer also the other ; 
f and him that taketh away thy cloak, 
forbid not to take thy coat also. 

30 gGive to every man that asketh 
of thee ; and of him that taketh away 
thy goods, ask them not again. 

31 ^And as ye would that men 
should do to you, do ye also to them 
likewise. 

32 'For if ye love them which love 
you, what thank have ye ? for sin- 
ners also love those that love them. 

33 And if ye do good to them which 
do good to you, what thank have ye ? 
for sinners also do even the same. 

34 ^And if ye lend to them of whom 
ye hope to receive, what thank have 
ye ? for sinners also lend to sinners, 
to receive as much again. 

35 But Uove ye your enemies, and 
do good, and "lend, hoping for no- 
thing again ; and your reward shall 
be great, and " ye shall be the chil- 
dren of the Highest : for he is kind 
unto the unthankful and to the evil.

NOW, when he had ended all his 
sayings in the audience of the 
people, ''he entered into Capernaum. 

2 And a certain centurion's servant, 
who was dear unto him, was sick, 
and ready to die. 

3 And when he heard of Jesus, he 
sent unto him the elders of the Jews, 
beseeching him that he would come 
and heal his servant. 

4 And when they came to Jesus, 
they besought him instantly, saying, 
That he was worthy for whom he 
should do this : 

5 For he loveth our nation, and he 
hath built us a synagogue. 

6 Then Jesus went with them. And 
when he was now not far from the 
house, the centurion sent friends to 
him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble 
not thyself: for I am not worthy 
that thou shouldest enter under my 
roof; 

7 Wherefore neither thought I my- 
self worthy to come unto thee; but 
say in a word, and my servant shall 
be healed. 

8 For I also am a man set under 
authority, having under me soldiers, 
and I say unto f one, Go, and he go- 
eth ; and to another. Come, and he 
cometh ; and to my servant. Do this, 
and he doeth it. 

9 When Jesus heard these things, 
he marvelled at him, and turned him 
about and said ui.to the people that 
followed him, I say unto you, I have 
not found so great faith, no, not in 
Israel. 

10 And they that were sent, retum-

ing to the house, found the servant 
whole that had been sick. 

1 1 H And it came to pass the day 
after, that he went into a city called 
Nain : and many of his disciples went 
with him, and much people. 

12 Now, when he came nigh to the 
gate of the city, behold, there was a 
dead man carried out, the only son of 
his mother, and she was a widow : and 
much people of the city was withher. 

13 And when the Lord saw her, he 
had compassion on her, and said un- 
to her, Weep not. 

14 And he came and touched the 
II bier: And they that bare him stood 
still. And he said. Young man, I say 
unto thee, t" Arise. 

15 And he that was dead sat up, 
and began to speak: and he deU- 
vered him to his mother. 

16 cAnd there came a fear on all: 
and they glorified God, saying, ^ That 
a great prophet is risen up among 
us; and, ^That God hath visited his 
people. 

17 And this rumour of him went 
forth throughout all Judea, and 
throughout all the region round 
about. 

18 ^'And the disciples of John shew- 
ed him of all these things. 

19 TIAnd John, calling unto him 
two of his disciples, sent them to Je- 
sus, saying. Art thou he that should 
come ? or look we for another 1 

20 When the men were come unto 
him, they said, John Baptist hath 
sent us unto thee, saying. Art thou 
he that should come? or look we for 
another ? 

21 And in that same hour he cured 
many of ^Aefr infirmities, and plagues, 
and of evil spirits ; and unto many 
that were blind he gave sight. 

22 ffThen Jesus answering, said un 
to them. Go your way, and tell John 
what things ye have seen and heard ; 
hhow that the blind see, the lame 
walk, the lepers are cleansed, the 
deaf hear, the dead are raised, 'to the 
poor the gospel is preached. 

23 And blessed is he, whosoever 
shall not be offended in me. 

24 TI 1^ And when the messengers of 
John were departed,he began to spe ak 
unto the people concerning John,

ness for to see? A reed shaken with 
the wind ? 

25 But what went ye out for to see? 
A man clothed in soft raiment? Be- 
hold, they which are gorgeously ap- 
parelled, and live delicately, are in 
kings' courts. 

26 But what went ye out for to see ? 
A prophet ? Yea, I say unto you, and 
much more than a prophet. 

27 This is he, of whom it is writ- 
ten, 'Behold, I send my messenger 
before thy face, which shall prepare 
thy way before thee. 

28 For I say unto you, Among those 
that are born of women, there is not a 
greater prophet than John the Blap- 
tist: but he that is least in the king- 
dom of God, is greater than he. 

29 And all the people that heard 
him, and the pubhcans, justified God, 
™being baptized with the baptism of 
John. 

30 But the Pharisees and lawyers 
II rejected "the counsel of God || a- 
gainst themselves, being notbaptized 
of him. 

31 1" And the Lord said, oWhere- 
unto then shall I liken the men of 
this generation ? and to what are they 
like? 

32 They are like unto children sit- 
ting in the market-place, and calling 
one to another, and saying. We have 
piped unto you, and ye have not 
danced; we have mourned to you, 
and ye have not wept. 

33 For P John the Baptist came nei- 
ther eating bread, nor drinking wine ; 
and ye say, He hath a devil. 

34 The Son of man is come eating 
and drinking; and ye say, Behold a 
gluttonous man, and a wine-bibber, 
a friend of publicans and sinners 1 

35 qBut Wisdom is justified of all 
her children. 

36 II i^And one of the Pharisees 
desired him that he would eat with 
him. And he went into the Pha- 
risee's house, and sat down to meat. 

37 And behold, a woman in the 
city, which was a sinner, when she 
knew that Jesus sat at meat in the 
Pharisee's house, brought an alabas- 
ter-box of ointment, 

38 And stood at his feet behind him 
weeping, and began to wash his feet 
withtears,anddid wipe themvnththe

hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, 
and anointed them with the ointment. 

39 Now, when the Pharisee which 
had bidden him, saw it,\\e spake with- 
in himself, saying, ^This man, if he 
were a prophet, would have known 
who, and what manner of woman this 
is that toucheth him : for she is a 
sinner. 

40 And Jesus answering, said unto 
him, SimoH, I have somewhat to say 
unto thee. And he saith, Master, 
say on. 

41 There was a certain creditor, 
which had two debtors : the one 
owed five hundred || pence, and the 
other fifty. 

42 And when they had nothing to 
pay, he frankly forgave them both. 
Tell me therefore, which of them 
will love him most? 

43 Simon answered and said, I 
suppose that he, to whom he for- 
gave most. And he said unto him. 
Thou hast rightly judged. 

44 And he turned to the woman, and 
said unto Simon, Seest thou this wo- 
man ? I entered into thy house, thou 
gavest me no water for my feet : but 
she hath washed myfeetwithtears,and 
wiped them with the hairs of her head. 

45 Thou gavest me no kiss : but 
this woman, since the time I came in, 
hath not ceased to kiss mv feet. 

46 'My head with oil thou didst not 
anoint : but this woman hath anoint- 
ed my feet with ointment. 

47 "Wherefore,! say unto thee,Her 
sins, which are many, are forgiven ; 
for she loved much : but to whom lit- 
tle is forgiven, the same loveth little 

48 And he said unto her, ^Thy 
sins are forgiven. 

49 And they that sat at meat with 
him, began to say within themselves, 
y AVho is this that forgiveth sins also ? 

50 And he said to the woman, ^Thy 
faith hath saved thee ; go in peace.

The parable of the sower. 

city and village, preaching and shew- 
ing the glad tidings of the kingdom 
of God : and the twelve were with 
him, 

2 And a certain women, which had 
been healed of evil spirits and infii'- 
mities, Mary called Magdalene, ''out 
of whom went seven devils, 

3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza, 
Herod's steward, and Susanna, and 
many others, which ministered unto 
him of their substance. 

4 H <= And when much people were 
gathered together, and were come to 
him out of everj" city, he spake by a 
parable : 

5 A sower went out to sow his seed : 
and as he sowed, some fell by the way- 
side ; and it was trodden down, and 
the fowls of the air devoured it. 

6 And some fell upon a rock ; and 
as soon as it was sprung up, it wi- 
thered away, because it lacked mois- 
ture. 

7 And some fell among thorns ; 
and the thorns sprang up with it, 
and choked it. 

8 And other fell on good ground, 
and sprang up, and bare fruit a 
hundred-fold. And when he had said 
these things, he cried, He that hath 
ears to hear, let him hear. 

9 "i And his disciples asked him, say- 
ing. What might this parable b(j 1 

10 And he said. Unto you it is given 
to know the mysteries of the kingdom 
of God : but to others in parables ; 
«that seeing they might not see, and 
hearing they might not understand. 

1 1 '"Now the parable is this : The 
seed is the word of God. 

12 Those by the way-side, are they 
that hear ; then cometh the devil, 
and taketh away the word out of 
their hearts, lest they should believe 
and be saved. 

13 They on the rock are they, 
which, when they hear, receive the 
word with joy ; and these have no 
root, which for a while believe, and 
in time of temptation fall away. 

14 And that which fell among thorns, 
are they,which,when they haveheard, 
go forth, and are choked with cares, 
and riches, and pleasures of this life, 
and bring no fruit to perfection. 

15 But that on the good ground are 
thev, which in an honest and good

heart, having heard the word, keep it, 
and bring forth fruit with patience. 

16 ^&No man, when he hath hght 
ed a candle, covereth it with a vessel, 
or putteth it under a bed ; but setteth 
it on a candlestick, that they which 
enter in may see the light. 

17 ^For nothing is secret, that shall 
not be made manifest ; neither any 
thing hid, that shall not be known, 
and come abroad. 

18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: 
'for whosoever hath, to him shall be 
given ; and whosoever hath not, from 
him shall be taken even that which 
he II seemeth to have. 

19 "ffi^Then came to him his mo- 
ther and his brethren, and could not 
come at him for the press. 

20 And it was told him hy certain, 
which said. Thy mother and thy bre- 
thren stand without, desiring to see 
thee. 

21 And he answered and said unto 
them. My mother and my brethren 
are these which hear the word of 
God, and do it. 

22 T[ ' Now it came to pass on a cer- 
tain day, that he went into a ship with 
his disciples : and he said unto them, 
Let us go over unto the other side of 
the lake. And they launched forth. 

23 But as they sailed, he fell asleep : 
and there came down a storm of wind 
on the lake ; and they were filled with 
water, and were in jeopardy. 

24 And they came to him, and awoke 
him, saying, Master, Master, we pe- 
rish. Then he arose, and rebuked the 
wind, and the raging of the water: and 
they ceased, and there was a calm. 

25 And he said unto them. Where 
is your faith ? And they being afraid, 
wondered, saying one to another. 
What manner of man is this ! for he 
commandeth even the winds and wa- 
ter, and they obey him. 

26 ^ ™And they arrived at the 
country of the Gadarenes, which is 
over against Galilee. 

27 And when he went forth to land, 
there met him out of the city a cer- 
tain man, which had devils long time, 
and ware no clothes, neither abode in 
any house, but in the tombs. 

28 When he saw Jesus, he cried 
out, and fell down before him, and 
with a loud voice said, What have I

to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son ot 
God most high ? I beseech thee tor- 
ment me not. 

29 (For he had commanded the un- 
clean spirit to come out of the man. 
For oftentimes it had caught him : 
and he was kept bound with chains, 
and in fetters ; and he brake the 
bands, and was driven of the devil 
into the wilderness.) 

30 And Jesus asked him, saying. 
What is thy name? And he said. 
Legion : because many devils were 
entered into him. 

31 And they besought him, that he 
would not command them to go out 
"into the deep. 

32 And there was there a herd of 
many swine feeding op the moun- 
tain : and they besought him that 
he would suffer them to enter into 
them. And he suffered them. 

33 Then went the devils out of the 
man, and entered into the swine : 
and the herd ran violently down a 
steep place into the lake, and were 
choked. 

34 When they that fed them saw 
what was done, they filed, and went 
and told it in the city and in the 
country. 

35 Then they went out to see what 
was done ; and came tp Jesus, and 
found the man out of whom, the de- 
vils were departed, sitting at the feet 
of Jesus, clothed, and in 'his right 
mind : and they were afraid.* 

36 They also which saw zi, told them 
by what means he that was possess- 
ed of the devils was healed. 

37 TfoThen the whole multitude of 
the country of the Gadarenes round 
about, P besought him to depart from 
them ; for they were taken with great 
fear. And he went up into the ship, 
and returned back again. 

38 Now, qthe man out of whom the 
devils were departed, besought him 
that he might be with him. But Je- 
sus sent him away, saying, 

39 Return to thine own house, and 
shew how great things God hath done 
unto thee. And he went his way and 
published throughout the whole city, 
how great things Jesus had done 
unto him. 

40 And it came to pass, that, when 
Jesus was returned, the people gladly

received him : for they were all wait- 
ing for him. 

41 II'' And behold, there came a 
man named Jairus, and he was a 
ruler of the synagogue : and he fell 
down at Jesus' feet, and besought 
him that he would come into his house : 

42 For he had one only daughter, 
about twelve years of age, and she 
lay a dying. But as he went, the 
people thronged him. 

43 If "And a woman having an issue 
of blood twelve years, which had 
spent all her living npon physicians, 
neither could be healed of any, 

44 Came behind him and touched 
the border of his garment : and im- 
mediately her issue of blood stanched. 

45 And Jesus said, Who touched 
me ? When all denied, Peter, and they 
that were with him, said. Master, the 
multitude throng thee, and press ^Aee, 
and sayest thou. Who touched me ? 

46 And Jesus said. Somebody hath 
touched me: for I perceive that * vir- 
tue is gone out of me. 

47 And when the woman saw that 
she was not hid, she came trembling, 
and falling down before hini,shede- 
clared unto him before all the peo- 
ple for what cause she had touched 
him, and how she was healed imme- 
diately. 

48 And he said unto her, Daujihter, 
be of good comfort : thy faith hath 
made thee whole ; go in peace. 

49 1 " While he yet spake, there 
Cometh one from the ruler of the 
synagogue's house., saying to him, 
Thy daughter is dead : trouble not 
the Master. 

50 But when Jesus heard it, he an- 
swered him, saying, Fear not: believe 
only, and she shall be made whole. 

51 And when he came into the 
house, he suffered no man to go in, 
save Peter, and James, and John, 
and the father and the mother of 
the maiden. 

52 And all wept and bewailed her: 
but he said. Weep not: she is not 
dead, »but sleepeth. 

53 And they laughed him to scorn, 
knowing that she was dead. 

54 And he put them all out, and 
took her by the hand, and called, say- 
ing, Maid, y arise.

to preach. 1 Herod desired to see Christ. 17

ciples of his passion : A'ocommendeih humility: 
51 biddeth them to shew mildness towards all, 
uithoui desire of revenge. 57 Divers would 
follow him, but upon conditions. 

THEN a he called his twelve dis- 
ciples together, and gave them 
power and authority over all devils, 
and to cure diseases. 

2 And '• he sent them to preach the 
kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. 

3 <= And he said unto them. Take 
nothing for your journey, neither 
staves, nor scrip, neither bread, nei- 
ther money ; neither have two coats 
apiece. 

4 '' And whatsoever house ye enter 
into, there abide, and thence depart. 

5 ^And whosoever will not receive 
you, when ye go out of that city, 
*" shake oft' the very dust from your 
feet for a testimony against them. 

6 e And they departed, and went 
through the towns, preaching the 
gospel, and healing ever)- where. 

7 "11 *> Now Herod the tetrarch heard 
of all that was done by him : and he 
was perplexed, because that it was 
said of some, that John was risen 
from the dead ; 

8 And of some, that Elias had ap- 
peared ; and of others, that one of 
the old prophets was risen again. 

9 And Herod said, John have I be- 
headed ; but who is this of whom I 
hear such things? 'And he desired 
to see him. 

10 H'' And the apostles, when they 
were returned, told him all that they 
had done. ' And he took them, and 
went aside privately into a desert 
place, belonging to the city called 
Bethsaida. 

1 1 And the people, when they knew 
it, followed him: and he received 
them, and spake unto them of the 
kingdom of God, and healed them 
that had need of healing.

said unto him, Send the multitude 
away, that they may go into the 
towns and country round about, and 
lodge, and get victuals : for we are 
here in a desert place. 

13 But he said unto them. Give 
ye them to eat. And they said. We 
have no more but five loaves and 
two fishes ; except we should go and 
buy meat for all this people. 

14 (For they were about five thou- 
sand men.) And he said to his disci- 
ples. Make them sit down by fifties 
in a company. 

1 5 And they did so, and made them 
all sit down. 

16 Then he took the five loaves, and 
the two fishes, and looking up to hea- 
ven, he blessed them, and brake, and 
gave to the disciples to set before 
the multitude. 

17 And they did eat, and were all 
filled : and there was taken up of 
fragments that remained to them 
twelve baskets. 

18 ^° And it came to pass, as he was 
alone praying, his disciples were with 
him ; and he asked them, saying. 
Who say the people that I am ? 

19 They answering, said, "John the 
Baptist ; but some say, Elias ; and 
others say, That one of the old pro- 
phets is risen again. 

20 He said unto them, But who 
say ye that I am ? P Peter answering, 
said, The Christ of God. 

21 <iAnd he straitly charged them, 
and commanded them to tell no man 
that thing, 

22 Saying, ''The Son of man must 
suffer many things, and be rejected 
of the elders, and chief priests, and

His transfiguration. 

the Son of man be ashamed, when 
he shall come in his own glory, and 
in his Father's, and of the holy an- 
gels. 

27 -^ But I tell you of a truth, there 
be some standing here which shall 
not taste of death till they see the 
kingdom of God. 

28 TI y And it came to pass, about an 
eight days after these || sayings, he 
took Peter, and John, and James, and 
went up into a mountain to pray. 

29 And as he prayed, the fashion of 
his countenance was altered, and his 
raiment was white and glistering. 

30 And behold, there talked with 
him two men, which were Moses 
and Elias : 

31 Who appeared in glory, and 
spake of his decease which he should 
accomplish at Jerusalem. 

32 But Peter and they that were 
with him ^were heavy with sleep: 
and when they were awake, they 
saw his glory, and the two men that 
stood with him. 

33 And it came to pass, as they 
departed from him, Peter said unto 
Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be 
here : and let us make three taberna- 
cles ; one for thee, and one for Mo- 
ses, and one for Elias: not knowing 
what he said. 

34 While he thus spake, there came 
a cloud, and overshadowed them : 
and they feared as they entered into 
the cloud. 

35 And there came a voice out of 
the cloud, saying, ^This is my belov- 
ed Son : ^hear him. 

36 And when the voice was past, 
Jesus was found alone. <=And they 
kept it close, and told no man in 
those days any of those things which 
they had seen. 

37 TI d And it came to pass, that on 
the next day, when they were come 
down from the hill, much people met 
him. 

38 And behold, a man of the com- 
pany cried out, saying, Master, I be- 
seech thee look upon my son: for 
he is mine only child. 

39 And lo, a spirit taketh him, and 
he suddenly crieth out ; and it tear- 
eth him that he foameth again, and 
bruising him, hardly departeth from 
him. 

1006 



Christ foresheweth his sufferings. 

40 And I besought thy disciples to 
cast him out, and they could not. 

41 And Jesus answering, said, O 
faithless and perverse generation, 
how long shall I be with you, and 
suffer you ? Bring thy son hither. 

42 And as he was yet a coming, the 
devil threw him down, and tare him. 
And Jesus rebuked the unclean spi- 
rit, and healed the child, and deliver- 
ed him again to his father. 

43 TI And they were all amazed at 
the mighty power of God. But while 
they wondered ever}^ one at all things 
which Jesus did, he said unto his 
disciples, 

44 ^ Let these sayings sink down 
into your ears : for the Son of man 
shall be delivered into the hands of 
men. 

45 ^But they understood not this 
saying, and it was hid from them, 
that they perceived it not : and they 
feared to ask him of that saying. 

46 II g Then there arose a reasoning 
among them, which of them should 
be greatest. 

47 And Jesus perceiving the thought 
of their heart, took a child, and set 
him by him, 

48 And said unto them, ^ Whoso- 
ever shall receive this child in my 
name, receivethme; and whosoever 
shall receive me, receivcth him that 
sent me : ' for he that is least among 
you all, the same shall be great. 

49 TI'' And John answered and said, 
Master, we saw one casting out de- 
vils in thy name ; and we forbade 
him, because he followeth not with 
us. 

50 And Jesus said unto him. Forbid 
him not : for 'he that is not against 
us, is for us. 

51 TI And it came to pass, when the 
time was come that '" he should be 
received up, he steadfastly set his 
face to go to Jerusalem, 

52 And sent messengers before his 
face : and they went and entered 
into a village of the Samaritans, to 
make ready for him. 

53 And " they did not receive him, 
because his face was as though he 
would go to Jerusalem. 

54 And when his disciples James 
and John saw this, they said. Lord, 
wilt thou that we command fire to

sume them, even as ^Ehas did? 

55 But he turned, and rebuked 
them, and said, Ye know not what 
manner of spirit ye are of. 

56 For Pthe Son of man is not 
come to destroy men's lives, but to 
save them. And they went to an- 
other village. 

57 H 1 And it came to pass, that as 
they went in the way, a certain man 
said unto him. Lord, I will follow 
thee whithersoever thou goest. 

58 And Jesus said unto him. Foxes 
have holes, and birds of the air have 
nests; but the Son of man hath not 
where to lay his head. 

59 ■■ And he said unto another. Fol- 
low me. But he said, Lord, suffer me 
first to go and hury my father. 

60 Jesus said unto him, Let the 
dead bury their dead : but go thou 
and preach the kingdom of God. 

61 And another also said. Lord, « I 
will follow thee ; but let me first go 
bid them farewell which are at home 
at my house. 

62 And Jesus said unto him. No 
man having put his hand to the 
plough, and looking back, is ht for 
the kingdom of God.

AFTER these things, the Lord 
appointed other seventy also, 
and " sent them two and two before 
his face into everv* city, and place, 
whither he himself would come. 

2 Therefore said he unto them, ''The 
harvest truly is great, but the labour-

Lord of the harvest, that he w ould 
send forth labourers into his harvest.

The seventy return with joy.

it shall turn to you again. 
7hAnd in the same house remain, 
> eating and drinking such things as 
they give : for ''the labourer is wor- 
thy of his hire. Go not from house 
to house. 

8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, 
and they receive you, eat such things 
as are set before you. 

9 ' And heal the sick that are there- 
in, and say unto them, ™The king 
dom of Gk)d is come nigh unto you. 

10 But into whatsoever city ye en- 
ter, and they receive you not, go 
your ways out into the streets of the 
same, and say, 

11 "Even the very dust of your 
city which cleaveth on us, we do 
wipe off against you : notwithstand- 
ing, be ye sure of this, that the king- 
dom of God is come nigh unto you. 

12 But I say unto you. That "it shall 
be more tolerable in that day for So- 
dom than for that city. 

13 pWo unto thee, Chorazin ! wo 
unto thee, Bethsaida ! <i for if the 
mighty works had been done in Tyre 
and Sidon, which have been done in 
you, they had a great while ago re- 
pented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 

14 But it shall be more tolerable 
for Tyi'e and Sidon at the judgment, 
than for you. 

15 ""And thou, Capernaum, which 
art s exalted to heaven, * shalt be 
thrust down to hell. 

16 "He that heareth you, heareth 
me ; and ^he that despiseth you, de- 
spiseth me ; y and he that despiseth 
me, despiseth him that sent me. 

17 "[[And 2 the seventy returned 
again with joy, saying. Lord, even the 
devils are subject unto us through 
thy name. 

18 And he said unto them, ^ I be- 
held Satan as lightning fall from 
heaven. 

19 Behold, ^ I give unto you power 
to tread on serpents and scorpions, 
and over all the power of the enemy : 
and nothing shall by any means hurt

wise and prudent, and hast revealed 
them unto babes : even so. Father; 
for so it seemed good in thy sight. 

22 ^ II All things are delivered to me 
of my Father : and fno man knoweth 
who the Son is, but the Father ; and 
who the Father is, but the Son, and 
he to whom the Son will reveal him. 

23 T[ And he turned him unto his 
disciples, and said privately, s Bless- 
ed are the eyes which see the tilings 
that ye see. 

24 For I tell you, ''That many pro- 
phets and kings have desired to see 
those things which ye see, and have 
not seen them ; and to hear those 
things which ye hear, and have not 
heard them. 

25 ^ And behold, a certain lawyer 
stood up, and tempted him, saying, 
' Master, what shall I do to inherit 
eternal hfe? 

26 He said unto him. What is writ- 
ten in the law? how readest thou ? 

27 And he answering said, ^ Thou 
shalt love the Lord thy God with all 
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and 
with all thy strength, and with all thy 
mind ; and ' thy neighbour as thyself. 

28 And he said unto him. Thou hast 
answered right : this do, and ™ thou 
shalt live. 

29 But he, willing to "justify him- 
self, said unto Jesus, And who is my 
neighbour ? 

30 And Jesus answering, said, A cer- 
tain man went down from Jerusalem 
to Jericho, and fell among thieves, 
which stripped him of his raiment, 
and wounded him, and departed, 
leaving him half dead. 

31 And by chance there came down 
a certain priest that way; and when 
he saw him, "he passed by on the 
other side. 

32 And likewise a Levite, when he 
was at the place, came and looked on 
him, and passed by on the other side. 

33 But a certain P Samaritan, as he 
journeyed, came where he was : and 
when he saw him, he had compassion 
on him, 

34 And went to Am, and bound up 
his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, 
and set him on his own beast, and 

1008

brought him to an inn, and took care 
of him. 

35 And on the morrow, when he de- 
parted, he took out two || pence, and 
gave them to the host, and said unto 
him, Take care of him : and whatso- 
ever thou spendest more, when I come 
again, I will repay thee. 

36 Which now of these three, think- 
estthou, was neighbour unto him that 
fell among the thieves? 

37 And he said. He that shewed 
mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto 
him. Go, and do thou likewise. 

38 ^ Now it came to pass, as they 
went, that he entered into a certain 
village : euid a certain woman, named 
1 Martha, received him into her house. 

39 And she had a sister called 
Mary, ■■ which also ^sat at Jesus' feet, 
and heard his word. 

40 But Martha was cumbered about 
much serving, and came to him, and 
said. Lord, dost thou not care that my 
sister hath left me to serse alone ? bid 
her therefore tliat she help me. 

4 1 And Jesus answered, and said un- 
to her, Martha, Martha, thou art care- 
ful, and troubled about many things : 

42 But 'one thing is needful ; and 
Mary hath chosen that good part, 
which shall not be taken away from 
her.

to set before him ? 

7 And he from within shall answer 
and say, Trouble me not : the door is 
now shut, and my children are with 
me in bed ; I cannot rise and give 
thee. 

8 I say unto you, ^ Though he will 
not rise and give him, because he is 
his friend, yet because of his impor- 
tunity he will rise and give him as 
many as he needeth. 

9 ■= And I say unto you. Ask, and it 
shall be given you : seek, and ye shall 
find ; Ivnock, and it shall be opened 
unto you. 

10 For every one that asketh, re- 
ceiveth; and hethat seeketh,findeth; 
and to him that knocketh, it shall be 
opened. 

11 "i If a son shall ask bread of any 
of you that is a father, will he give 
him a stone ? or if he ask a fish, will 
he for a fish give him a serpent ? 

12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will 
he f ofier him a scorpion ? 

13 If ye then, being evil, know how 
to give good gifts unto your children: 
how much more shall your heavenly 
Father give tlie Holy Spirit to them 
that ask him ? 

14 T[ ^And he was casting out a 
devil, and it was dumb. And it came 
to pass when the devil was gone out, 
the dumb spake ; and the people won- 
dered. 

15 But some of them said, ''He 
casteth out devils through f Beel- 
zebub, the chief of the devils. 

1 G And others tempting Am, s sought 
of him a sign from heaven. 

1 7 i' But ' he, knowing their thoughts, 
said unto them. Every kingdom di- 
vided against itself, is brought to de- 
solation ; and a house divided against 
a house, falleth. 

18 If Satan also be divided against 
himself, how shall his kingdom stand? 
because ye say that I cast out devils 
through IBeelzebub. 

19 Ajid if I by Beelzebub cast out 
devils, by whom do your sons cast 
them out? therefore shall they be 
your judges. 

" 20 But if I ''with the finger of God 
cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom 
of God is come upon vou.

V^ho are the truly blessed. 

21 ^ When a strong man armed keep- 
ethhis palace, his goods are in peace : 

22 But ™when a stronger than he 
shall come upon him, and overcome 
him, he taketh from him all his ar- 
mour wherein he trusted, and divid- 
eth his spoils. 

23 " He that is not with me is a- 
gainst me : and he that gathereth not 
with me scattereth. 

24 "When the unclean spirit is gone 
out of a man, he walketh through dry 
places, seeking rest : and finding 
none, he saith, I will return unto my 
house whence I came out. 

25 And when he cometh, he findeth 
it swept and garnished. 

26 Then goeth he, and taketh to 
him seven other spirits more wicked 
than himself ; and they enter in, and 
dwell there : and p the last state of 
that man is worse than the first, 

27 T[ And it came to pass, as he 
spake these things, a certain woman 
of the company lifted up her voice, 
and said unto him, q Blessed is the 
womb that bare thee, and the paps 
which thou hast sucked. 

28 But he said, Yea, ■■ rather blessed 
are they that hear the word of God, 
and keep it. 

29 Tf ^And when the people were 
gathered thick together, he began to 
say, This is an evil generation : they 
seek a sign ; and there shall no sign 
be given it, but the sign of Jonas the 
prophet. 

30 For as * Jonas was a sign unto 
the Ninevites, so shall also the Son 
of man be to this generation. 

31 "The queen of the south shall 
rise up in the judgment with the 
men of this generation, and condemn 
them : for she came from the utmost 
parts of the earth, to hear the wisdom 
of Solomon ; and behold, a greater 
than Solomon is here. 

32 The men of Nineveh shall rise up 
in the judgment Avith this generation, 
andshall condemn it: for "they repent- 
ed at the preaching of Jonas; and be- 
hold, a greater than Jonas is here.

eye : therefore when thine eye is 
single, thy whole body also is full of 
light ; but when thine eye is evil, thy 
body also is full of darkness, 

35 Take heed therefore,that the light 
which is in thee be not darkness. 

36 If thy whole body therefore he 
full of light, having no part dark, the 
whole shall be full of light ; as when 
f the bright shining of a candle doth 
give thee light. 

37 TI And as he spake, a certain 
Pharisee besought him to dine with 
him : and he went in and sat down 
to meat. 

38 And a when the Pharisee saw it, 
he marvelled that he had not first 
washed before dinner. 

39 ^And the Lord said unto him, 
Now do ye Pharisees make clean the 
outside of the cup and the platter ; 
but cyour inward part is full of ra- 
vening and wickedness. 

40 Ye fools, did not he that made 
that which is without, make that 
which is within also 1 

41 <^But rather give alms || of such 
things as ye have ; and behold, all 
things are clean unto you. 

42 e But wo unto you, Pharisees ! 
for ye tithe mint, and rue, and all man- 
ner of herbs, and pass over judgment 
and the love of God : these ought ye 
to have done, and not to leave the 
other undone. 

43 f Wo unto you, Pharisees ! for ye 
love the uppermost seats in the syna- 
gogues, and greetings in the markets. 

44 s Wo unto you, scribes and Pha- 
risees,hypocrites! 'iforyeareasgraves 
which appear not, and the men that 
walk oyerthemare not aware of them. 

45 HThen answered one of the law- 
yers, and said unto him. Master, thus 
saying, thou reproachest us also. 

46 And he said. Wo unto you also, 
ye lawyers ! ' for ye lade men with 
burdens grievous to be borne, and ye 
yourselves touch not the burdens 
with one of your fingers. 

47 k Wo unto you ! for ye build the 
sepulchres of the prophets, and your 
fathers killed them.

allow the deeds of your fathers : for

their sepulchres.

Christ teacheth to avoid hypocrisy. CHAP 
of God, 'I will send them prophets 
and apostles, and some of them they 
shall slay and persecute : 

50 That the blood of all the pro- 
phets, which was shed from the foun- 
dation of the world, may be required 
of this generation; 

51 "From the blood of Abel unto 
n the blood of Zacharias, which perish- 
ed between the altar and the temple : 
verily, I say unto you. It shall be re- 
quired of this generation. 

52 °Wo unto you, lawyers! for 
ye have taken away the key of know- 
ledge : ye entered not in yourselves, 
and them that were entering in ye 
jl hindered. 

53 And as he said these things unto 
them, the scribes and the Pharisees 
began to urge fiim vehemently, and to 
provoke him to speak of many things ; 

54 Laying wail for him, and P seek- 
ing to catch something out of his 
mouth, that they might accuse him, 

CHAP.' XII. 

1 Christ preacheth to his disciples to avoid hypo- 
crisy, and fearfulness in publishing his doc- 
trine : litcarneth the people to beirare of co- 
relvusness, by the parable of the rich man irho 
set vp i^reatcr harns. 22 HV must not be over 
careful of earthly things, 31 but seel: the liinff- 
dom of God, 'i'A ^ive alms, 30 be ready at a 
knock to open to our Jxird whensoever lie 
Cometh. 41 ChritCs ministers are to see to 
their charge, 4^ and look for persecution. 54 
TIte people ntuil take this tune of grace, 58 
because tl is a fearful thing to die icithout re- 
conciliation. 

IN "the moan time, when there 
were gathered together an innu- 
merable multitude of people, inso- 
much that they trode one upon an- 
other, he began to say unto his dis- 
ciples first of all, ''Beware ye of the 
leaven of the Pharisees, which is hy- 
pocrisy. 

2 f^For there is nothing covered, 
that shall not be revealed; neither 

• hid, that shall not be known. 

3 Therefore, whatsoever ye have 
spoken in darkness, shall be heard in 
the light; and that which ye have 
spoken in the ear in closets, shall be 
proclaimed upon the house-tops. 

4 "^And I say unto you, (^my friends, 
Be not afraid of them that kill the 
body, and after that, have no more 
that they can do. 

5 But I will forewarn you whom ye 
shall fear : Fear him, which after he 
hath killed, hath power to cast into 
hell ; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

XII. He refuseth to he judge in a civil cause. 

6 Are not five sparrows sold for two 
farthings, and not one of them is for- 
gotten before God? 

7 But even the very hairs of your 
head are all numbered. Fear not 
therefore: ye are of more value than 
many sparrows. 

8 'Also I say unto you, AVhosoever 
shall confess me before men, him 
shall the Son of man also confess 
before the angels of God. 

9 But he that denieth me before 
men, shall be denied before the angels 
of God. 

10 And ? whosoever shall speak a 
word against the Son of man, it shall 
be forgiven him : but unto him that 
blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost, 
it shall not be forgiven. 

11 ''And when they bring you unto 
the synagogues, and unto magistrates, 
and powers, take ye no thought how 
or what thing ye shall answer, or 
what ye shall say : 

12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach 
you in the same hour what ye ought 
to say.

unto him. Master, speak to my bro- 
ther, that he divide the inheritance 
with me. 

14 And he said unto him, "Man,

over you ? 

15 And he said unto them, ''Take 
heed, and beware of covetousness: 
for a man's life consisteth not in the 
abundance of the things which he 
posscsseth. 

16 And he spake a parable unto 
them, saying. The ground of a certain 
rich man brought forth plentifully: 

17 And he thought within himself, 
saying,What shall I do,because I have 
no room where to bestow my fruits? 

18 And he said. This will 'l do: I 
will pull down my barns, and build 
greater ; and tiicre will I bestow all 
my fruits and my goods. 

19 And I will say to my soul, ' Soul, 
thou hast much goods laid up for 
many years; take thine ease, eat, 
drink, and be merry. 

20 But God said unto him. Thou 
fool, this night ||">thy soul shall be 
required of thee: "then whose shall 
those things be which thou hast pro- 
vided ?

Against worldly carefulness. 

21 So is he that layeth up treasure 
for himself, ° and is not rich toward 
God. 

22 "ilAnd he said unto his disciples, 
Therefore I say unto you, PTake no 
thought for your hfe, what ye shall 
eat; neither for the body, what ye 
shall put on. 

23 The life is more than meat, and 
the body is more than raiment. 

24 Consider the ravens : for they 
neither sow nor reap : which neither 
have store-house, norbarn; and qGod 
feedeth them. How much more are 
ye better than the fowls ? 

25 And which of you with taking 
thought can add to his stature one 
cubit ? 

26 If ye then be not able to do 
that thing which is least, why take 
ye thought for the rest % 

27 Consider the hlies how they 
grow : They toil not, they spin not ; 
and yet I say unto you, that Solomon 
in all his glory was not arrayed like 
one of these. 

28 If then God so clothe the grass, 
which is to-day in the field, and to- 
morrow is cast into the oven ; how 
much more will he clothe you, O ye 
of little faith? 

29 And seek not ye what ye shall 
eat, or what ye shall drink, || neither 
be ye of doubtful mind. 

30 For all these things do the na- 
tions of the world seek after : and 
your Father knoweth that ye have 
need of these things, 

31 ^ ""But rather seek ye the king- 
dom of God, and all these things 
shall be added unto you. 

32 Fear not, little flock; for ^it is 
vour Father's good pleasure to give 
you the kingdom. 

33 1 Sell that ye have, and give alms ; 
"provide yourselves bags which wax 
not old, a treasure in the heavens 
that faileth not, where no thief ap- 
proacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 

34 For where your treasure is, there 
will your heart be also. 

35 ^Let your loins be girded about, 
and y yowr lights burning; 

36 And ye yourselves like unto men 
that wait for their lord, when he will 
return from the wedding ; that, when 
he Cometh and knocketh, they may 
open unto him immediately.

37 ^Blessed are those servants,whom 
the lord when he cometh shall find 
watching: verily, I say unto you, 
that he shall gird himself, and make 
them to sit down to meat, and will 
come forth and sei-ve them. 

38 And if he shall come in the 
second watch, or come in the third 
watch, and find them so, blessed are 
those servants. 

39 =1 And this know, that if the good 
man of the house had known what 
hour the thief would come, he would 
have watched, and not have suffer- 
ed his house to be broken through. 

40 i^Be ye therefore ready also: for 
the Son of man cometh at an hour 
when ye think not, 

41 TI Then Peter said unto him, 
Lord,speakest thou this parable unto 
us, or even to all? 

42 And the Lord said, ^Who then 
is that faithful and wise steward, 
whom his lord shall make ruler over 
his household, to give them their por- 
tion of meat in due season ? 

43 Blessed is that servant, whom 
his lord when he cometh shall find 
so doing. 

44 "J Of a truth I say unto you, That 
he will make him ruler over all that 
he hath, 

45 ^But and if that servant say in 
his heart, My lord delayeth his com- 
ing ; and shall begin to beat the men- 
servants, and maidens, and to eat and 
drink, and to be drunken; 

46 The lord of that servant will 
come in a day when he looketh not 
for him, and at an hour when he is 
not aware, and will [[ cut him in sun- 
der, and will appoint him his portion 
with the unbelievers. 

47 And fthat servant which knew 
his lord's will, and prepared not him- 
self neither did according to his will, 
shall be beaten with many stripes. 

48 ffBut he that knew not, and did 
commit things worthy of stripes, shall 
be beaten with few stripes. For unto

shall be much required ; and to whom 
men have committed much, of him 
they will ask the more.

The parable of the Jig-tree. 

think ye that they were llsinners above 
all men that dwelt in Jerusalem ? 

5 I tell you, Nay ; but, except ye 
repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 

6 "H He spake also this parable : °-A 
certain man had a fig-tree planted in 
his vineyard ; and he came and sought 
fruit thereon, and found none. 

7 Then said he unto the dresser 
of his vineyard. Behold, these three 
years I come seeking fruit on this 
fig-tree, and find none : cut it down ; 
why cumbereth it the ground? 

.8 And he answering, said unto him, 
Lord, let it alone this year also, till I 
shall dig about it, and dung it : 

9 And if it bear fruit, well : and if 
not, then after that thou shalt cut it 
down. 

10 And he was teaching in one of 
the sjTiagogues on the sabbath. 

11^ And behold, there was a wo- 
man which had a spirit of infirmity 
eighteen years, and was bowed to- 
gether, and could in no wise lift up 
herself. 

12 And when Jesus saw her, he call- 
ed her to him, and said unto her. Wo- 
man, thou art loosed from thine in- 
firmit}\ 

13 ''And he laid his hands on her: 
and immediately she was made 
straight, and glorified God. 

14 And the ruler of the synagogue 
answered with indignation, because 
that Jesus had healed on the sabbath- 
day, and said unto the people, ^ There 
are six days in which men ought to 
work: in them therefore come and be 
healed, and ''not on the sabbath-day. 

15 The Lord then answered him, 
and said. Thou hypocrite, ^doth not 
each one of you on the sabbath loose 
his ox or his ass from the stall, and 
lead him away to watering ? 

16 And ought not this woman, ^be- 
ing a daughter of Abraham, whom 
Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen 
years, be loosed from this bond on 
the sabbath-day? 

17 And when he had said these 
things,all his adversaries were asham- 
ed : and all the people rejoiced for all 
the glorious things that were done 
by him. '

unto shall I resemble it ?

Parable of the grain of mustard-seed, 4*c. S . LUKE 

19 It is like a grain of mustard- 
seed, which a man took, and cast into 
his garden, and it grew, and waxed a 
great tree ; and the fowls of the air 
lodged in the branches of it. 

20 And again he said, Whereunto 
shall I liken the kingdom of God ? 

21 It is like leaven, which a woman 
took and hid in three 1| measures of 
meal, till the whole was leavened. 

22 'lAnd he went through the cities 
and villages, teaching, and journeying 
toward Jerusalem. 

23 Then said one unto him. Lord, 
are there few that be saved ? And 
he said unto them, 

24 T[ 1^ Strive to enter in at the strait 
gate : for ^many, I say unto you, will 
seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

shall answer and say unto you, pI 
know you not whence ye are : 

26 Then shall ye begin to say, We 
have eaten and drunk in thy presence, 
and thou hast taught in our streets. 

27 qBut he shall say, I tell you, I 
know you not whence ye are ; >■ de- 
part from me, all ye workers of ini- 
quity. 

28 s There shall be weeping and 
gnashing of teeth, 'when ye shall see 
Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and 
all the prophets, in the kingdom of 
God, and you yourselves thrust out. 

29 And they shall come from the 
east, and from the west, and from the 
north, and from the south, and shall 
sit down in the kingdom of God. 

30 " And behold, there are last, which 
shall be first ; and there are first, 
which shall be last. 

31 TI The same day there came cer- 
tain of the Pharisees, saying unto 
him. Get thee out, and depart hence ; 
for Herod will kill thee. 

32 And he said unto them. Go ye 
and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out 
devils, and I do cures to-day and to- 
morrow, and the third day -^I shall 
be perfected. 

33 Nevertheless,! must walk to-day

perish out of Jerusalem.

2 Christ healeth the dropsy on the sabbath : 7 
ieacheih humility : 12 to feast the poor : \5 
vnder the parable of the great supper, shewetk 
how vorldly minded m^n, who contemn the 
viord of God, shall be shut out of heaven. 25 
Those who will be his disciples, to bear their 
cross must make their accounts aforehand, lest 
with shame they revolt from him afterward, 34 
and become altogether vuprojUable, like salt 
that hath lost his savour. 

ND it came to pass, as he went 
into the house of one of the chief 
Pharisees to eat bread on the sab- 
bath-day, that they watched him. 

2 And behold, there was a certain 
man before him which had the dropsy. 

3 And Jesus answering, spake unto 
the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, 
a Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath- 
day? 

4 And they held their peace. And 
he took him, and healed him, and let 
him go : 

5 And answered them, saying, 
''Which of you shall have an ass or 
an ox fallen into a pit, and will not 
straightway pull him out on the sab- 
bath-day ? 

6 And they could not answer him 
again to these things. 

7 T[ And he put forth a parable to 
those which were bidden, when he 
marked how they chose out the chief 
rooms ; saying unto them, 

8 When thou art bidden of any man 
to a wedding, sit not down in the 
highest room, lest a more honourable 
man than thou be bidden of him ; 

9 And he that bade thee and him 
come and say to thee. Give this man 
place ; and thou begin with shame to 
take the lowest room. 

10 <=But when thou art bidden, go 
and sit down in the lowest room; 
that when he that bade thee cometh, 
he may say unto thee. Friend, go up 
higher : then shalt thou have worship

The parable of the marriage supper. 

in the presence of them that sit at 
meat with thee. 

1 1 ^For whosoever exalte th himself 
shall be abased, and he that hum- 
bleth himself shall be exalted. 

12 If Then said he also to him that 
bade him, When thou makest a din- 
ner or a supper, call not thy friends, 
nor thy brethren, neither thy kins- 
men, nor thy rich neighbours ; lest 
they also bid thee again, and a re- 
compense be made thee. 

13 But when thou makest a feast, 
call ^the poor, the maimed, the lame, 
the blind ; 

14 And thou shalt be blessed: for 
they cannot recompense thee : for 
thou shalt be recompensed at the re- 
surrection of the just. 

15 TI And when one of them that 
sat at meat with him heard these 
things, he said unto him, ^ Blessed is 
he that shall eat bread in the king- 
dom of God. 

16 eThen said he unto him, A cer- 
tain man made a great supper, and 
bade many : 

17 And ''sent his servant at supper- 
time, to say to them that were bidden, 
Come, for all things are now ready. 

18 And they all with one consent 
began to make excuse. The first said 
unto him, I have bought a piece of 
ground, and I must needs go and see 
it : I pray thee have me excused. 

19 And another said, I have bought 
five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove 
them : I pray thee have me excused. 

20 And another said, I have married 
a wife : and therefore I cannot come. 

21 So that servant came, and shew- 
ed his lord these things. Then the 
master of the house being angry, said 
to his servant, Go out quickly into 
the streets and lanes of the city, and 
bring in hither the poor, and the 
maimed, and the haU, and the blind. 

22 And the servant said. Lord, it is 
done as thou hast commanded, and 
yet there is room. 

23 And the lord said unto the ser- 
vant. Go out into the highways and 
hedges, and compel them to come in, 
that my house may be filled. 

24 For I say unto you, ' that none 
of those men which were bidden, 
shall taste of my supper.

said unto them, 

26 '^If any man come to me, ' and 
hate not his father, and mother, and 
wife, and children, and brethren, and 
sisters, ""yea, and his own life also, 
he cannot be my disciple. 

27 And "whosoever doth not bear 
his cross, and come after me, cannot 
be my disciple. 

28 For "which of you intending to 
build a tower, sitteth not down first, 
and counteth the cost, whether he 
have sufficient to finish it ? 

29 Lest haply after he hath laid the 
foundation, and is not able to finish 
it, all that behold it begin to mock 
him, 

30 Saying, This man began to build, 
and was not able to finish. 

31 Or what king going to make 
war against another king, sitteth not 
down first, and consulteth whether he 
be able with ten thousand to meet 
him that cometh against him with 
twenty thousand ? 

32 Or else, while the other is yet 
a great way off", he sendeth an am- 
bassage, and desireth conditions of 
peace. 

33 So likewise, whosoever he be of 
you that forsaketh not all that he 
hath, he cannot be my disciple. 

34 M P Salt is good : but if the salt 
have lost his savour, wherewith shall 
it be seasoned ? 

35 It is neither fit for the land, nor 
yet for the dunghill ; but men cast it 
out. He that hath ears to hear, let 
him hear.

THEN "drew near unto him all 
the publicans and sinners for to 
hear him. 

2 And the Pharisees and scribes 
murmured, saying, This man receiv- 
eth sinners, ''and eateth with them. 

3 H And he spake this parable unto 
them, saying, 

4 <: What man of you having a hun- 
dred sheep, if he lose one of them, 
doth not leave the ninety and nine 
in the wilderness, and go after that 
which is lost, until he find it? 

5 And when he hath found it, he 
layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, he 
calleth together his friends and 
neighbours, saying unto them. Re- 
joice with me ; for I have found my 
sheep ''which was lost. 

7 I say unto you, that hkewise joy 
shall be in heaven over one sinner 
that repenteth, ^more than over 
ninety and nine just persons which 
need no repentance. 

8 TI Either what woman having ten 
II pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, 
doth not light a candle, and sweep 
the house, and seek diligendy till she 
find it 1 

9 And when she hath found it, she 
calleth lier friends and Aer neighbours 
together, saying, Rejoice with me ; 
for I have found the piece which I 
had lost. 

10 Likewise, I say unto you. There 
is joy in the presence of the angels of 
God over one sinner that repenteth. 

11^ And he said, A certain man 
had two sons : 

1 2 And the younger of them said 
to Ms father, Father, give me the por- 
tion of goods that falleth to me. And 
he divided unto them ^his living. 

13 And not many days after, the 
younger son gathered all together, 
and took his journey into a far coun- 
try, and there wasted his substance 
with riotous living. 

14 And when he had spent all, there 
arose a mighty famine in that land ; 
and he began to be in want. 

15 And he went and joined himself 
to a citizen of that country ; and he 
sent him into his fields to feed swine. 

16 And he would fain have filled his 
belly with the husks that the swine 
did eat ; and no man gave unto him. 

17 And when he came to himself, 
he said. How many hired servants of 
my father's have bread enough and 
to spare, and I perish with hunger ! 

18 1 will arise and go to my father, 
and will say unto him. Father, I have 
sinnedagainstheaven,andbeforethee, 

19 And am no more worthy to be 
called thy son : make me as one of 
thy hired sei'vants. 

20 And he arose, and came to his 
father. But s when he was yet a great 
way off, his father saw him, and had 
compassion, and ran, and fell on his 
neck, and kissed him.

the prodigal son. 

21 And the son said unto him. Fa- 
ther, I have sinned against Heaven, 
•land in thy sight, and am no more 
worthy to be called thy son. 

22 But the father said to his ser- 
vants. Bring forth the best robe, and 
put it on him ; and put a ring on his 
hand, and shoes on his feet : 

23 And bring hither the fatted calf, 
and kill it ; and let us eat, and be 
merry : 

24 'For this my son was dead, and 
is alive again ; he was lost, and is 
found. And they began to be merry. 

25 Now his elder son was in the 
field : and as he came and drew nigh 
to the house, he heard music and 
dancing. 

26 And he called one of the servants 
and asked what these things meant. 

27 And he said unto him, Thy bro- 
ther is come ; and thy father hath 
killed the fatted calf, because he hath 
received him safe and sound. 

28 And he was angry, and would 
not go in ; therefore came his father 
out, and entreated him, 

29 And he answering, said to Ms fa- 
ther, Lo, these many years do I serve 
thee, neither transgressed I at any 
time thy commandment ; and yet 
thou never gavest me a kid, that I 
might make merry with my friends : 

30 But as soon as this thy son was 
come, which hath devoured thy living 
vpith harlots, thou hast killed for him 
the fatted calf. 

31 And he said unto him. Son, thou 
art ever with me ; and all that I have 
is thine. 

32 It was meet that we should make 
merry, and be glad : "^for this thy 
brother was dead, and is alive again ; 
and was lost, and is found.

1 T^e parahle of ihetoijvst steward. 14 Christ re- 
proveth the hypocrisy of the covetous Pharisees. 
19 The rich glutton, and Lazarus the beggar. 

AND he said also unto his disci- 
ples. There was a certain rich 
man which had a steward ; and the 
same was accused unto him that he 
had wasted his goods. 

2 And he called him, and said un- 
to him. How is it that I hear this of 
thee ? give an account of thy stew- 
ardship : for thou mayest be no lon- 
ger steward. 

3 Then the steward said within him- 

1016 



The parable cf the unjust steward, 

self, "What shall I do ? for my lord 
taketh away from me the steward- 
ship : I cannot dig ; to beg I am 
ashamed. 

4 I am resolved what to do, that 
when I am put out of the steward- 
ship, they may receive me into their 
houses. 

5 So he called every one of his lord's 
debtors unto him, and said unto the 
first. How much owest thou unto my 
lord? 

6 And he said, A hundred || mea- 
sures of oil. And he said unto him, 
Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, 
and write fifty. 

7 Then said he to another, And how 
much owest tJiou ? And he said, A 
hundred || measures of wheat. And 
he said unto him. Take thy bill, and 
write four-score. 

8 And the lord commended the un- 
just steward, because he had done 
wisely: for the children of this world 
are in their generation wiser than 
''the children of light. 

y And I say unto you, ''Make to 
yourselves friends of the || mammon 
of unrighteousness ; that when ye 
fail, they may receive you into ever- 
lasting habitations. 

10 t^He that is faithful in that 
which is least, is faithful also in much ; 
and he that is unjust in the least, is 
unjust also in much. 

11 If therefore ye have not been 
faithful in the unrighteous || mam- 
mon, who will commit to your trust 
the true riches? 

12 And if ye have not been faithful 
in that which is another man's, who 
shall give you that which is your own ? 

1 3 H ii No servant can ser/e two mas- 
ters : for either he will hate the one, 
and love the other ; or else he will 
hold to the one, and despise the other. 
Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 

14 And the Pharisees also, •= who 
were covetous, heard all these things, 
and they derided him. 

15 And he said unto them, Ye are 
they which ("justify yourselves before 
men ; but e God knoweth your hearts : 
for ^ that which is highly esteemed 
among men, is abomination in the 
sight of God.

17 '^ And it is easier for heaven and 
earth to pass, than one tittle of the 
law to fail. 

18 'Whosoever putteth away his 
wife, and marrieth another, commit- 
teth adulterv" ; and whosoever mar- 
rieth her that is put away from her 
husband, committeth adultery. 

19 TI There was a certain rich man, 
which was clothed in purple and fine 
linen and fared sumptuously every 
day : 

20 And there was a certain beggar 
named Lazarus, which was laid at 
his gate, full of sores, 

21 And desiring to be fed with the 
crumbs which fell from the rich 
man's table: moreover, the dogs 
came and licked his sores. 

22 And it came to pass, that the 
beggar died, and was carried by the 
angels into Abraham's bosom. The 
rich man also died, and was buried : 

23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, 
being in torments,and seeth Abraham 
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom, 

24 And he cried, and said. Father 
Abraham, have mercy on me, and 
send Lazarus, that he may dip the 
tip of his finger in water, and ""cool 
my tongue : for I " am tormented in 
this flame. 

25 But Abraham said, Son, ° re- 
member that thou in thy life time re- 
ceivedst thy good things, and like- 
wise Lazarus evil things : but now he 
is comforted, and thou art tormented. 

2G And besides all this, between us 
and youthere is a greatgulf fixed : so 
that they which would passfromhence 
to you, cannot : neither can they pass 
to us, that would come from thence. 

27 Then he said, I pray thee there- 
fore, father, that thou wouldest send 
him to my father's house : 

28 For i have five brethren ; that 
he may testify unto them, lest they 
also come into this place of torment. 

29 Abraham saith unto him, PThey 
have Moses and the prophets ; let 
them hear them, 

30 And he said. Nay, father Abra- 
ham: but if one went unto them 
from the dead, they will repent. 

31 And he said unto him. If they

One to forgive another. 6 The power of faith. 
7 How we are bound to God, and not he to us. 
11 He healeth ten lepers. 22 Of the kingdom of 
God, and the coming of the Son of man. 

THEN said he unto the disciples, 
a- It is impossible but that of- 
fences will come : but wo unto him 
through whom they come ! 

2 It were better for him that a mill- 
stone were hanged about his neck, 
and he cast into the sea, than that 
he ^ould offend one of these little 
ones. 

3 ■[[ Take heed to yourselves: ''If 
thy brother trespass against thee, 
•= rebuke him ; and if he repent, for- 
give him. 

4 And if he trespass against thee 
seven times in a day, and seven 
times in a day turn again to thee, say- 
ing, I repent ; thou shalt forgive him. 

5 And the apostles said unto the 
Lord, Increase our faith. 

6 ^And the Lord said. If ye had 
faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye 
might say unto this sycamine-tree, 
Be thou plucked up by the root, and 
be thou planted in the sea ; and it 
should obey you. 

7 But which of you having a ser- 
vant ploughing, or feeding cattle, will 
say unto him by and by, when he is 
come from the field. Go and sit down 
to meat? 

8 And will not rather say unto him. 
Make ready wherewith 1 may sup, 
and gird thyself, ^ and serve me, till 
I have eaten and drunken ; and af- 
terward thou shalt eat and drink ? 

9 Doth he thank that servant, be- 
cause he did the things that were 
commanded him 1 I trow not. 

10 So likewise ye, when ye shall 
have done all those things which are 
commanded you, say. We are f un- 
profitable servants : we have done 
that which was our duty to do. 

11 TI And it came to pass, gas he 
went to Jerusalem, that he passed 
through the midst of Samaria and 
Galilee. 

12 And as he entered into a certain 
village, there met him ten men that 
were lepers, •'which stood afar off:

He healeth ten lepers, 

and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy 
on us. 

14 And when he saw them, he said 
unto them, ' Go shew yourselves un- 
to the priests. And it came to pass, 
that, as they went, they were cleansed. 

15 And one of them, when he saw 
that he was healed, turned back, and 
with a loud voice glorified God, 

1 6 And fell down on his face at his 
feet, giving him thanks : and he was 
a Samaritan. 

17 And Jesus answering, said, Were 
there not ten cleansed? but where 
are the nine? 

18 There are not found that re- 
turned to give glory to God, save 
this stranger. 

19 •'And he said unto him. Arise, 
go thy way: thy faith hath made 
thee whole. 

20 Tl And when he was demanded 
of the Pharisees, when the kingdom 
of God should come, he answered 
them and said. The kingdom of God 
Cometh not || with observation. 

21 1 Neither shall they say, Lo 
here! or, Lo there! for behold, ™ the 
kingdom of God is || within you. 

22 And he said unto the disciples, 
" The days will come, when ye shall 
desire to see one of the days of the 
Son of man, and ye shall not see it. 

23 ° And they shall say to you. See 
here ! or. See there ! go not after 
them, nor follow them. 

24 PFor as the lightning that light- 
eneth out of the one part under hea- 
ven, shineth unto the other part un- 
der heaven ; so shall also the Son of 
man be in his day. 

25 iBut first must he suffer many 
things, and be rejected of this gene- 
ration. 

26 ""And as it was in the days of 
Noe, so shall it be also in the days of 
the Son of man. 

27 They did eat, they drank, they 
married wives, they were given in 
marriage, until the day that Noe en- 
tered into the ark, and the flood 
came, and destroyed them all. 

28 s Likewise also as it was in the 
days of Lot: they did eat, they 
drank, they bought, they sold, they 
planted, they builded ; 

29 But 'the same day that Lot went 
out of Sodom, it rained fire and brim-

and of the Pharisee and publican. 
them speedily. Nevertheless, when 
the Son of man cometh, shall he find 
faith on the earth? 

9 And he spake this parable unto 
certain "^ which trusted in themselves 
II that they were righteous, and de- 
spised others : 

10 Two men went up into the tem- 
ple to pray ; the one a Pharisee, and 
the other a publican. 

1 1 The Pharisee ''stood and prayed 
thus with himself, s God, I thank thee, 
that I am not as other men aj-e, ex- 
tortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even 
as this publican. 

12 I fast twice in the week, I give 
tithes of all that I possess. 

13 And the publican, standing afar 
off, would not lift up so much as his 
eyes unto heaven, but smote upon 
his breast, saying, God be merciful 
to me a sinner. 

14 I tell you, this man went down 
to his house justified rather than the 
other: iifor every one that exalteth 
himself shall be abased ; and he that 
humbleth himself shall be exalted. 

15 'And they brought unto him 
also infants, that he would touch 
them : but when his disciples saw it, 
they rebuked them. 

16 But Jesus called them nnto him, 
and said, Suffer little children to 
come unto me, and forbid them not : 
for •'of such is the kingdom of God. 

17 'Verily, I say unto you. Whoso- 
ever shall not receive the kingdom of 
God as a little child, shall in no wise 
enter therein. 

18 ni And a certain ruler asked him, 
saying, Good Master, what shall I do 
to inherit eternal life? 

19 And Jesus said unto him, Why 
callest thou me good? none is good, 
save one, that is God. 

20 Thou knowest the command- 
ments, "Do not commit adulter)-, Do 
not kill. Do not steal. Do not bear 
false witness, "Honour thy father and 
thy mother. 

21 And he said, All these have I 
kept from my youth up, 

22 Now, when Jesus heard these 
things, he said unto him. Yet lackest 
thou one thing: Psell all that thou 
hast, and distribute unto the poor, 
and thou shall have treasure in hea- 
ven : and come, follow me, 

1019 



Christ foretelletk his own death. 

23 And when he heard this, he was 
very sorrowful : for he was very rich. 

24 And when Jesus saw that he was 
very sorrowful, he said, qHow hardly 
shall they that have riches enter into 
the kingdom of God ! 

25 For it is easier for a camel to 
go through a needle's eye, than for a 
rich man to enter into the kingdom 
of God. 

26 And they that heard it, said. 
Who then can be saved ? 

27 And he said, ^The things which 
are impossible with men, are possible 
with God. 

28 sThen Peter said, Lo, we have 
left all, and followed thee. 

29 And he said unto them, Verily, I 
say unto you, * There is no man that 
hath left house, or parents, or bre- 
thren, or wife, or children, for the 
kingdom of God's sake, 

30 "Who shall not receive manifold 
more in this present time, and in the 
world to come life everlasting. 

31^^ Then he took iinto him the 
twelve, and said unto them, Behold, 
we go up to Jerusalem, and all things 
ythat are written by the prophets 
concerning the Son of man shall be 
accomplished. 

32 For ^he shall be delivered unto 
the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, 
and spitefully entreated, and spitted 
on ; 

33 And they shall scourge him, and 
put him to death : and the third day 
he shall rise again. 

34 ''^And they understood none of 
these things: and this saying was hid 
from them, neither knew they the 
things which were spoken. 

35 TI ''And it came to pass, that as 
he was come nigh unto Jericho, a 
certain blind man sat by the way- 
side begging ; 

36 And hearing the multitude pass 
by, he asked what it meant. 

37 And they told him, that Jesus 
of Nazareth passeth by. 

38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou 
son of David, have mercy on me. 

39 And they which went before re- 
buked him, that he should hold his 
peace : but he cried so much the 
more. Thou son of David, have mer- 
cy on me.

Lord, that I may receive my sight. 

42 And Jesus said unto him, Re- 
ceive thy sight : <=thy faith hath saved

triumph : 41 weepeth over it : 45 driveth the 
buyers attd sellers out of the temple : 47 teach-

stroyed him, but for fear of the people. 

ND Jesus entered and passed 
through Jericho. 

2 And behold, there was a man 
named Zaccheus, which wasthe chief 
among the publicans, and he was rich. 

3 And he sought to see Jesus who 
he was ; and could not for the press, 
because he was little of stature. 

4 And he ran before, and climbed 
up into a sycamore-tree to see him ; 
for he was to pass that way. 

5 And when Jesus came to the place, 
he looked up, and saw him, and said 
unto him, Zaccheus, make haste, and 
come down : for to-day 1 must abide 
at thy house. 

6 And he made haste, and came 
down, and received him joyfully. 

7 And when they saw it, they all 
murmured, saying, "^That he was 
gone to be guest with a man that is 
a sinner. 

8 And Zaccheus stood, and said 
unto the Lord ; Behold, Lord, the 
half of my goods I give to the poor; 
and if I have taken any thing from 
any man by ''false accusation, •=! re- 
store him four-fold. 

9 And Jesus said unto him. This 
day is salvation come to this house, 
forasmuch as ^he also is ^a son of 
Abraham. 

10 fFor the Son of man is^come to 
seek and to save that which was lost. 

1 1 And as they heard these things, 
he added and spake a parable, be- 
cause he was nigh to Jerusalem, and 
because ?they thought that the king- 
dom of God should immediately ap- 
pear. 

1020 



Parable of the ten pieces of money. 

12 ''He said therefore, A certain 
nobleman went into a far country to 
receive for himself a kingdom, and 
to return. 

13 And he called his ten servants, 
and delivered them ten || pounds, and 
said unto them, Occupy till I come. 

14 'But his citizens hated him, and! 
sent a message after him, saying, We 
will not have this wzare to reign over us. I 

15 And it came to pass, that when! 
he was returned, having received the ! 
kingdom, then he commanded these 
servants to be called unto him, to 
whom he had given the f money, 
that he might know how much everj'j 
man had gained by trading. 

1 6 Then came the first, saying, Lord, 
thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 

17 And he said unto him, Well, 
thou good servant : because thou hast 
been ''faithful in a very little, have 
thou authority over ten cities. 

18 And the second came, saying. 
Lord, thy pound hath gained five 
pounds. 

19 And he said likewise to him. Be 
thou also over five cities. 

'20 And another came, saying, Lord, 
behold here is thy pound, which 1 
have kept laid up in a napkin : 

21 'For I feared thee, because thou 
art an austere man : thou takest up 
that thou layedst not down, and reap- 
est that thou didst not .^ow. 

22 And he saith unto him, ""Out 
ol" thine own mouth will I judge 
thee, tliou wicked servant. "Thou 
knewest that I was an austere man, 
faking up that I laid not down, and 
reaping that 1 did not sow : 

23 Wherefore then gavest not thou 
my money into the bank, that at my 
coming I might have required mine 
own with usur\' \ 

24 And he said unto them that stood 
by. Take from him the pound, and 
give il to him that lialh ien pounds. 

25 (And they said unto him. Lord, 
he hath ten pounds.) 

26 For I say unto you, °That unto 
every one which hath, shall be given ; 
and from him that hath not, even that 
he hath shall be taken away from him.

.would not that I should reign over 
them, bring hither, and slay them 
before me.

Christ rideth into Jerusalem. 

28 TI And when he had thus spoken, 
Phe went before, ascending up to Je- 
rusalem. 

29 qAnd it came to pass, when he 
was come nigh to Bethphage and 
Bethany, at the mount called the 
mount of Olives, he sent two of his 
disciples, 

30 Saying, Go ye into the village 
over against yo^t; in the which at 
your entering ye shall find a colt 
tied, whereon yet never man sat : 
loose him, and bring /im Itither. 

31 And if any man ask you. Why 
do ye loose him? thus shall ye say 
unto him, Because the Lord hath 
need of him. 

32 And they that were sent went 
their way, and found even as he had 
said unto them. 

33 And as they were loosing the 
colt, the owners thereof said unto 
them, AVliy loose ye the colt 1 

34 And they said, The Lord hath 
need of him. 

35 And they brought him to Jesus: 
^and they cast their garments upon 
the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. 

36 «And as he went, they spread 
their clothes in the way. 

37 And when he was come nigh, 
even now at the descent of the mount 
of Olives, the whole multitude of the 
disciples began to rejoice and praise 
God with a loud voice, for all the 
mighty works that they had seen; 

38 Saying, 'Blessed be the King 
that cometh in the name of the Lord : 
"Peace in heaven, and glory in the 
highest. 

39 And some of the Pharisees from 
among the multitude said unto him. 
Master, rebuke thy disciples. 

40 And he answered and said unto 
them, I tell you, that if these should 
hold their peace, ^ the stones would 
immediately cry out. 

41 Tf And when he was come near, 
he beheld the city, and y wept over it, 

42 Saying, If thou hadst known, 
even thou, at least in this thy day, 
the things ichich belong unto thy 
peace ! but now they are hid from 
thine eyes. 

43 For the days shall come upon 
thee, that thine enemies shall ^cast a

round, and keep thee in on every side,

the ground, and thy children within 
thee : and ^they shall not leave in 
thee one stone upon another: ''be- 
cause thou knewest not the time of 
thy visitation. 

45 ''And he went into the temple, 
and began to cast out them that sold 
therein, and them that bought, 

46 Saying unto them, ^It is written, 
My house is the house of prayer, but 
^ye have made it a den of thieves. 

47 And he taught daily in the tem- 
ple. But sthe chief priests, and the 
scribes, and the chief of the people 
sought to destroy him,

might do : for all the people || were 
very attentive to hear him.

eth the Sadducees that denied the resurreetion. 
41 HoiD Christ is the Son of David. 45 He 
warneth his disciples to beware of the scribes. 

ND ^it came to pass, that on 
. one of those days, as he taught 
the people in the te^nple, and preach- 
ed the gospel, the chief priests and 
the scribes came upon him, with the 
elders, 

2 And spake unto him, saying. Tell 
us, ''By what authority doest thou 
these things ? or who is he that gave 
thee this authority ? 

3 And he answered and said unto 
them, I will also ask you one thing ; 
and answer me :

from heaven, or of men ? 

5 And they reasoned with them- 
selves, saying, If we shall say. From 
heaven ; he will say. Why then be- 
lieved ye him not ? 

6 But and if we say. Of men ; all 
the people will stone us: '^for they 
be persuaded that John was a pro- 
phet. 

7 And they answered, That they 
could not tell whence it was. 

8 And Jesus said unto them, Nei- 
ther tell I you by what authority I 
do these things. 

9 Then began he to speak to the 
people this parable : ^ A certain man 
planted a vineyard, and let it forth 
to husbandmen, and went into a far 
country for a long time.

let us kill him, that the inheritance 
may be ours. 

15 So they cast him out of the vine- 
yard, and killed him. What there- 
fore shall the lord of the vineyard do 
unto them ? 

16 He shall come and destroy these 
husbandmen, and shall give the vine- 
yard toothers. And when they heard 
it, they said, God forbid. 

17 And he beheld them, and said, 
What is this then that is written, 
''The stone which the builders re- 
jected, the same is become the head 
of the corner? 

18 Whosoever shall fall upon that 
stone, shall be broken : but f on whom- 
soever it shall fall, it will grind him 
to powder. 

19 "[[And the chief priests and the 
scribes the same hour sought to lay 
hands on him ; and they feared the 
people : for they perceived that he 
had spoken this parable against them. 

20 ?And they watched him, and 
sent forth spies, which should feign 
themselves just men, that they might 
take hold of his words, that so they 
might deliver him unto the power 
and authority of the governor. 

21 And they asked him, saying, 
h Master, we know that thou sayest 
and teachest rightly, neither accept- 
est thou the person of any, but teach- 
est the way of God || truly : 

22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute 
unto Cesar, or no? 

23 But he perceived their crafti- 
ness, and said unto them, Why tempt 
ye me ?

28 Saying, Master, 'Moses wrote 1 1 Deut. 25. 
unto us. If any man's brother die, 
having a wife, and he die without 
children, that his brother should take 
his wife, and raise up seed unto his 
brother. 

29 There were therefore seven bre- 
thren : and the first took a wife, and 
died without children. 

30 And the second took her to wife, 
and he died childless. 

31 And the third took her; and in 
like manner the seven also : and they 
left no children, and died. 

32 Last of all the woman died also. 

33 Therefore in the resurrection, 
whose wife of them is she ? for seven 
had her to wife. 

34 And Jesus answering, said unto 
them. The children of this world 
marr\', and are given in marriage : 

35 But they which shall be account- 
ed worthy to obtain that world, and 
the resurrectionfrom the dead, neither 
marr)', nor are given in marriage 

36 Neither can they die any more : 
for "'they are equal unto the angels ; 
and are the children of God, "being 
the children of the resurrection. 

37 Now that the dead are raised, 
"even Moses shewed at the bush, 
when he calleth the I>ord the God 
of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, 
and the God of Jacob. 

38 For he is not a God of the dead, 
but of the living : for Pall live unto 
him.

answering, said. Master, thou hast 
well said.

ask him any question at all.

43 Till I make thine enemies thy 
footstool. 

44 David therefore -calleth him 
Lord, how is he then his son? 

45 T^Then in the audience of all 
the people, he said unto his disciples, 

46 'Beware of the scribes, which 
desire to walk in long robes, and 
"love greetings in the markets, and 
the highest seats in the synagogues, 
and the chief rooms at feasts ; 

47 ^ Which devour widows' houses,

1 Christ commendeih the poor itidotc. 5 Hefore- 
teUeth the destructimi of the temple, and of the 
city Jerusalem : 2.5 the siff7ts also which shall 
be before the last day. 'ii He exhortetli them 
to be watchful. 

AND he looked up ^and saw tlie 
rich men casting their gifts in- 
to the treasury. 

2 And he saw also a certain poor 
widow, casting in thither two || mites. 

3 And he said. Of a truth I say 
unto you, ^ That this poor widow hath 
cast in more than they all. 

4 For all these have of their abun- 
dance cast in unto the offerings of 
God : but she of her penury hath cast 
in all the living that she had. 

5 II <=And as some spake of the 
temple, how it was adorned with 
goodly stones, and gifts, he said, 

6 As for these things which ye be- 
hold, the days will come, in the which 
''there shall not be left one stone up- 
on another, that shall not be thrown 
down. 

7 And they asked him, saying. Mas- 
ter, but when shall these things be ? 
and what sign will there be when 
these things shall come to pass ? 

8 And he said, ^Take heed that ye 
be not deceived: for many shall come 
in my name, saying, I am Christ ; 
II and the time draweth near : go ye 
not therefore after them. 

9 But when ye shall hear of wars, 
and commotions, be not terrified : for 
these things must first come to pass ; 
but the end is not by and by. 

10 ("Then said he unto them, Na-

The signs of 

tion shall rise against nation, and 
kingdom against kingdom : 

1 1 And great earthquakes shall be 
in divers places, and famines, and pes- 
tilences: and fearful sights, and great 
signs shall there be fi-om heaven. 

12 &But before all these they shall 
lay their hands on you, and persecute 
you, delivering yoii up to the syna- 
gogues, and hinto prisons, 'being 
brought before kings and rulers ''for 
my name's sake. 

13 And lit shall turn to you for a 
testimony. 

14 "'Settle it therefore in your 
hearts, not to meditate before what 
ye shall answer. 

15 For I will give you a mouth and 
wisdom, "which all your adversaries 
shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. 

16 "And ye shall be betrayed both 
by parents, and brethren, and kins- 
folks, and friends ; and P some of you 
shall they cause to be put to death. 

17 And lye shall be hated of all 
men for my name's sake. 

18 "^But there shall not a hair of 
your head perish. 

1 9 In your patience possess ye your 
souls. 

20 sAnd when ye shall see Jerusa- 
lem compassed with armies, then 
know that the desolation thereof is 
nigh. 

21 Then let them which are in Ju- 
dea flee to the mountains ; and let 
them which are in the midst of it de- 
part out ; and let not them that are 
in the countries enter thereinto. 

22 For these be the days of ven- 
geance, that 'all things which are 
written may be fulfilled. 

23 "But wo unto them that are 
with child, and to them that give 
suck in those days ! for there shall 
be great distress in the land, and 
wrath upon this people. 

24 And they shall fall by the edge 
of the swoi'd, and shall be led away 
captive into all nations : and Jerusa- 
lem shall be trodden down of the 
Gentiles, "'until the times of the Gen- 
tiles be fulfilled. 

25 ^ y And there shall be signs in

31 Solikewise ye, when ye see these 
things come to pass, know ye that the

be fulfilled.

away : but my words shall not pass

8 And he sent Peter and John, say-

9 And they said unto him, Where 
wilt thou that we prepare?

temple, ye stretched forth no hands 
against me : ^ but this is your hour, 
and the power of darkness, 

54 H y Then took they him, and led 
him, and brought him into the high 
priest's house. ^ And Peter followed 
afar off. 

55 ^And when they had kindled a 
fire in the midst of the hall, and 
were set down together, Peter sat 
down among them. 

56 But a certain maid beheld him 
as he sat by the fii'e, and earnestly 
looked upon him, and said, This man 
was also with him. 

57 And he denied him, saying, 
Woman, I know him not. 

58 t> And after a little while another 
saw him, and said. Thou art also of 
them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. 

59 f^ And about the space of one hour 
after, another confidently affirmed, 
saying. Of a truth this fellow also 
was with him ; for he is a Galilean. 

60 And Peter said, Man, I knownot 
what thou sayest. And immediately, 
while he yet spake, the cock crew. 

61 And the Lord turned, and look- 
ed upon Peter. t^And Peter remem- 
bered the word of the Lord, how he 
had said unto him, <= Before the cock 
crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 

62 And Peter went out and wept 
bitterly.

mocked him, and smote him.

him, they struck him on the face, 
and asked him, saying, Prophesy,

chief priests, and the scribes came 
together, and led him into their coun-

IJesus is accused before Pilate, and sent to Herod. 
8 Herod raocketh him. 12 Herod and Pilate 
are iitade friends. 13 Barabbas is desired o/" 
the people, and is loosed by Pilate, and Jesus is 
given to be crucified. 27 He telleth the tcomen, that 
lament him, the destruction of Jerusalem ; 34

AND a the whole multitude of them 
arose, and led him unto Pilate. 

2 And they began to accuse him, 
saying. We found this fellow ^ per- 
verting the nation, and <= forbidding to 
give tribute to Cesar, saying, "^ That 
he himself is Christ, a king. 

3 *^ And Pilate asked him, saying, Art 
thou the King of the Jews ? Arid he an- 
swered him and said, Thou sayestff. 

4 Then said Pilate to the chief 
priests, and to the people, *"I find no 
fault in this man. 

.5 And they were the more fierce, 
saying. He stirreth up the people, 
teaching throughout all Jewry, be- 
ginning from Galilee to this place. 

G When Pilate heard of Galilee, he 
asked whether the man were a Gali- 
lean. 

7 And as soon as he knew that he 
belonged unto e Herod's jurisdiction, 
he sent him to Herod, who himself 
was also at Jerusalem at that time. 

8 TI And when Herod saw Jesus, he 
was exceeding glad: for ''he was hch.9.9. 
desirous to see him of a long season, \ 
because 'he had heard many things 
of him ; and he hoped to have seen 
some miracle done by him. 

9 Then he questioned with him in 
many words; but he answered him 
nothing. 

10 And the chief priests and scribes 
stood and vehemently accused him. 

11 I" And Herod with his men of 
war set him at nought, and mocked 
him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous 
robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

1 4 Said unto them," Ye have brought 
this man unto me, as one that pervert- 
eth the people : and behold, °I, hav- 
ing examined him before you, have 
found no fault in this man, touching 
those things whereof ye accuse him ; 

15 No, nor yet Herod : for I sent 
you to him ; and lo, nothing worthy 
of death is done unto him : 

16 P I will therefore chastise him, 
and release him. 

17 q (For of necessity he must re- 
lease one unto them at the feast.) 

18 And ■'they cried out all at once, 
saying. Away with this man, and re- 
lease unto us Barabbas : 

19 (Who, for a certain sedition made 
in the city, and for murder, was cast 
into prison.) 

20 Pilate therefore, willing to re- 
lease Jesus, spake again to them. 

21 But they cried, saying, Crucify 
him, crucify him. 

22 And he said unto them the third 
time. Why, what evil hath he done ? 
I have found no cause of death in 
him ; I will therefore chastise him, 
and let him go. 

23 And they were instant with loud 
voices, requiring that he might be 
crucified: and the voices of them, 
and of the chief" priests prevailed. 

24 And s Pilate || gave sentence that 
it should be as they required. . 

25 And he released unto them him 
that for sedition and murder was cast 
into prison, whom they had desired; 
but he delivered Jesus to their will. 

26 'And as they led him away, they 
laid hold upon one Simon a Cyre- 
nian, coming out of the country', and 
on him they laid the cross, that he 
might bear it after Jesus. 

27 T And there followed him a great 
company of people, and of women, 
which also bewailed and lamented 
him. 

28 But Jesus turning unto them, 
said. Daughters of Jerusalem, weep 
not for me, but weep for yourselves, 
and for your children. 

29 "For behold, the days are coming, 
in the which they shall say,Blessed are 
the barren, and the wombs that never 
bare, and the paps which never gave

the mountains, Fall on us ; and to 
the hills, Cover us. 

31 yFor if they do these things in 
a green tree, what shall be done in 
the dry? 

32 ^ And there were also two others, 
malefactors, led with him to be put 
to death, 

33 And =1 when they were come to 
the place which is called |1 Calvary, 
there they crucified him, and the 
malefactors ; one on the right hand, 
and the other on the left. 

34 "H Then said Jesus, Father, ^^ for- 
give them : for <^ they know not what 
they do. And '^ they parted his rai- 
ment, and cast lots. 

35 And <= the people stood behold 
ing. And the f rulers also with them 
derided him, saying. He saved others ; 
let him save himself, if he be Christ, 
the chosen of God. 

36 And the soldiers also mocked 
him, coming to him, and offering him 
vinegar, 

37 And saying, If thou be the ICing 
of the Jews, save thyself. 

38 s And a superscription also was 
written over him, in letters of Greek, 
and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS 
THE KING OF THE JEWS. 

39 II 1" And one of the malefactors, 
which were hanged, railed on him, 
saying, If thou be Christ, save thy- 
self and us. 

40 But the other answering, rebuk-

God, seeing thou art in the same 
condemnation ? 

41 And we indeed justly; for we re- 
ceive the due reward of our deeds: but 
this man hath done nothing amiss 

42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, 
remember me when thou comest 
into thy kingdom. 

43 And Jesus said unto him. Verily, 

I say unto thee. To-day shalt thou be 
with me in paradise.

"» and having said thus, he gave up 
the ghost. 

47 " Now, when the centurion saw 
what was done, he glorified God, 
saying, Certainly this was a righte- 
ous man. 

48 And all the people that came 
together to that sight, beholding the 
things which were done, smote their 
breasts and returned. 

49 o And all his acquaintance, and 
the women that followed him from 
Galilee, stood afar oflf, beholding 
these things. 

50 TI P And behold, there ivas a man 
named Joseph, a counsellor : and he 
was a good man, and a just : 

51 (The same had not consented to 
the counsel and deed of them :) 
he was of Arimathea, a city of the 
Jews ; iwho also himself waited for 
the kingdom of God. 

52 This man went unto Pilate, and 
begged the body of Jesus. 

53 ""And he took it down, and wrap- 
ped it in linen, and laid it in a sepul- 
chre that was hewn in stone, where- 
in never man before was laid. 

54 And that day was "the prepara- 
tion, and the sabbath drew on. 

55 And the women also, * which 
came with him from Galilee, follow- 
ed after, and " beheld the sepulchre, 
and how his body was laid. 

56 And they returned, and '^ pre- 
pared spices and ointments : and 
rested the sabbath-day, y according 
to the commandment.

to the women that come to the sepulchre. 9

appeareth to the two disciples that went to Em- 
maus ; 36 qftericards he appeareth to the apos- 
tles, and reproveth their unbelief: 47 giveih 
them a charge : 49 promiseth the Holy Ghost : 
51 and so ascendeth into heaven. 

NOW a upon the first day of the 
week, very early in the morning, 
they came unto the sepulchre, '' bring- 
ing the spices which they had prepar- 
ed, and certain others with them. 

2 c And they found the stone rolled 
away from the sepulchre. 

3 <i And they entered in, and found 
not the body of the Lord Jesus. 

4 And it came to pass, as they 
were much perplexed thereabout, 
e behold, two men stood by them in 
shining garments.

he which should have redeemed Is- 

: and besides all this, to-day isthe 
third day since these things weredone. 

22 Yea, and "certain women also 
of our company made us astonished, 
which were early at the sepulchre. 

23 And when they found not his 
body, they came, saying, that they 
had also seen a vision of angels, which 
said that he was alive. 

24 And "^ certain of them which were 
with us, went to the sepulchre, and 
found it even so as the women had 
said : but him they saw not. 

25 Then he said unto them, O fools, 
and slow of heart to believe all that 
the prophets have spoken ! 

26 y Ought not Christ to have suf- 
fered these things, and to enter into 
his glory ? 

27 ^And beginning at * Moses, and 
''all the prophets, he expounded unto 
them in all the scriptures the things 
concerning himself.

village whitlier they went: and <=he 
made as though he would have gone 
further. 

29 But ^they constrained him, say- 
ing. Abide with us : for it is toward 
evening, and the day is far spent. 
And he went in to tarry with them.

meat with them, "^he took bread, and 
blessed ?7,and brake,andgavetothem. 

31 And their eyes were opened, and 
they knew him : and he || vanished 
out of their sight.

Did not our heart burn within us while 
he talked withusby the way,and while 
he opened to us the scriptures? 

33 And they rose up the same hour, 
and returned to Jerusalem, and found 
the eleven gathered together, and 
them that were with them, 

34 Saying, The Lord is risen in- 
deed, and fhath appeared to Simon.

done in the way, and how he was

11 "He came unto his own, and 
his own received him not. 

12 But °as many as received him, 
to them gave he || power to become 
the sons of God, even to them that 
believe on his name : 

13 P Which were born, not of blood 
nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the 
will of man, but of God. 

14 1 And the Word >■ wasmade « flesh,

he was before me.

The testimony of John. 

18 ^No man hath seen God at any 
time ; «the only begotten Son, which 
is in the bosom of the Father, he 
hath declared hbn. 

19 II And this is ^the record of 
John, \vhen the Jews sent priests 
and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask 
him, Who art thou ? 

20 And she confessed, and denied 
not; but confessed, I am not the 
Christ. 

21 And they asked him, What then? 
Art thou hElias? And he saith, I am 
not. Art thou ' || that prophet ? And 
he answered, No. 

22 Then said they unto him. Who 
art thou? that we may give an an- 
swer to them that sent us. What 
sayest thou of thyself? 

23 "^He said, I am the voice ofi 
one crying in the wilderness, Make 
straight the way of the Lord, as 'said 
the prophet Esaias. 

24 And they which were sent were 
of the Pharisees. 

25 And they asked him, and said 
unto him, Why baptizest thou then, 
if thc'j be not that Christ, nor Elias, 
neither that prophet? 

26 John answered them, saying, 
'"I baptize with water: "but there 
standeth one among you, whom ye 
know not : 

27 ° He it is, who coming after me, 
is preferred before me, whose shoe's 
latchet I am not worthy to unloose. 

28 These things were done Pin 
Bethabara beyond Joixlan, where 
John was baptizing. 

29 1i The next day John secth Je- 
sus coming unto him, and saith. Be- 
hold itlie Lamb of God, 'which 
II takcth away the sin of the world !

he should be made manifest to Israel, 
^therefore am 1 come baptizing with

The calling of Andrew, Peter, ^c. 

he which baptizeth with the Holy 
Ghost. 

34 And I saw and bare record, that 
this is the Son of God. 

35 TI Again the next day after, John 
stood, and two of his disciples ; 

36 And looking upon Jesus as he 
walked, he saith, v Behold the Lamb 
of God ! 

37 And the two disciples heard 
him speak, and they followed Jesus, 

38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them 
following, and saith unto them. What 
seek ye ? They said unto him, Rabbi, 
(which is to say, being interpreted. 
Master,) where |1 dwellest thou ? 

39 He saith unto them. Come and 
see. They came and saw where he 
dwelt, and abode with him that day: 
for it was || about the tenth hour. 

40 One of the two which heard 
John speak, and followed him, was 
^Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 

41 He first findeth his own brother 
Simon, and saith unto him. We have 
found the Messias ; which is, being 
interpreted, || the Christ. 

42 And he brought him to Jesus. 
And when Jesus beheld him, he said, 
Thou art Simon the son of Jona: 
»thou shalt be called Cephas; which 
is, by interpretation, || a stone. 

43 TI The day following Jesus would 
go forth into Galilee, and findeth Phi- 
lip, and saith unto him. Follow me. 

44 Now ij Philip was of Bethsaida, 
the city of Andrew and Peter. 

45 Philip findeth <^ Nathanael, and 
saith unto him, We have found him 
of whom •'Moses in the law, and the 
"prophets, did write, Jesus "^of Naza- 
reth, the son of Joseph. 

46 And Nathanael said unto him, 
&Can there any good thing come out 
of Nazareth ? Philip saith unto him, 
Come and see. 

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to 
him, and saith of him, Behold ^an 
Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile ! 

48 Nathanael saith unto him, 
Whence knowest thou me? Jesus 
answered and said unto him. Before 
that Philip called thee, when thou 
wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. 

49 Nathanael answered and saith 
unto him. Rabbi, 'thou art the Son 
of God ; thou art •'the King of Israel, 

50 Jesus answered and said unto 

1031 



Christ turneth water into wine. 

him, Because I said unto thee, I saw 
thee under the fig-tree, behevest 
thou? thou shalt see greater things 
than these. 

51 And he saith unto him, Verily, 
verily, I say unto you, l Hereafter ye 
shall see heaven open, and the angels 
of God ascending and descending 
upon the Son of man. 

CHAP. 11. 

1 Christ turneth water into wine, 12 departeth in- 
to Capernaum, and to Jerusalem, 14 where he 
purgeth the temple of buyers and sellers. 19 
Me foretelleth his death ami resurrection. 23 
Many believed because of his miracles, but he 
loouidnot trust himself with them. 

AND the third day there was a 
marriage in ''Canaof Galilee; 
and the mother of. Jesus was there. 

2 And both Jesus was called, and 
his disciples, to the marriage. 

3 And when they wanted wine, the 
mother of Jesus saith unto him, 
They have no wine. 

4 Jesus saith unto her, i" Woman, 
<=what have I to do with thee? '^mine 
hour is not yet come. 

5 His mother saith unto the ser- 
vants. Whatsoever he saith unto you, 
do it. 

6 And there were set there six wa 
ter-pots of stone, <= after the manner 
of the purifying of the Jews, contain 
ing two or three firkins apiece. 

7 Jesus saith unto them. Fill the 
water-pots with water. And they 
filled them up to the brim. 

8 And he saith unto them. Draw 
out now, and bear unto the governor 
of the feast. And they bare it. 

9 When the ruler of the feast had 
tasted f the water that was made wine, 
and knew not whence it was, (but 
the servants which drew the water 
knew,) the governor of the feast call 
ed the bridegroom, 

10 And saith unto him. Every man 
at the beginning doth set forth good 
wine ; and when men have well drunk, 
then that which is worse : hut thou 
hast kept the good wine until now. 

1 1 This beginning of miracles did 
Jesus in Cana of Galilee, Sand man- 
ifested forth his glory ; and his dis- 
ciples believed on him. 

12 ^ After this he went down to 
Capernaum, he, and his mother, and 
^ his brethren, and his disciples; and 
they continued there not many days.

S.JOHN. He purgeth the temple. 

13 *1[ 'And the Jews' passover was 
at hand, and Jesus went up to Jeru- 
salem, 

14 ''And found in the temple those, 
that sold oxen, and sheep, and doves, 
and the changers of money, sitting : 

15 Aiid whenhe had made a scourge 
of small cords, he drove them all out 
of the temple, and the sheep, and the 
oxen ; and poured out the changers' 
money, and overthrew the tables ; 

16 And said unto them that sold 
doves, Take these things hence : 
make not 'my Father's house a house 
of merchandise, 

17 And his disciples remembered , 
that it was written, "" The zeal of 
thy house hath eaten me up. 

18 *il Then answered the Jews, and 
said unto him, "What sign shewest 
thou unto us, seeing that thou doest 
these things ? 

19 Jesus answered and said unto 
them, ° Destroy this temple, and in 
three days I will raise it up. 

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and 
six years was this temple in build- 
ing, and wilt thou rear it up in three 
days 1 

21 But he spake P of the temple of 
his body. 

22 When therefore he was risen 
from the dead, q his disciples remem- 
bered that he had said this unto them: 
and they believed the scripture, and 
the word which Jesus had said. 

23 T[ Now, when he was in Jerusa- 
lem at the passover, in the feast-rfay, 
many believed in his name, when 
they saw the miracles which he did. 

24 But Jesus did not commit him- 
self unto them, because he knew all 
men, 

25 And needed not that any should 
testify of man : for ''he knew what 
was in man.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, ^ Ex- 
cept a man be born || again, he can- 
not see the kingdom of God. 

4 Nicodemus saith unto him. How 
can a man be born when he is old ? 
can he enter tlie second time into his 
mother's womb, and be born ? 

5 Jesus answered, A'erily, verily, I 
say unto thee, ^ Except a man be born 
of water, and of the Spirit, he cannot 
enter into the kingdom of God. 

6 That which is born of the flesh, is 
flesh ; and that which is born of the 
Spirit, is spirit.

Ye must be born |j again, 

8 ""The wind bloweth where it list- 
eth, and thou hearest the sound 
thereof, but canst not tell whence it 
cometh, and whither it goeth : so is 
every one that is born of the Spirit. 

9 Nicodemus answered and said un- 
to him, g How can these things be ? 

10 Jesus answered and said unto 
liim, Art thou a master of Israel, and 
knowest not these things ? 

11 ''Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 
We speak tfiat wo do know, and tes- 
tify that wc have seen ; and 'ye re- 
ceive not our witness. 

12 If I have told you earthly things, 
and ye believe not, how shall ye be- 
lieve if I tell you «/' heavenly things? 

13 And ''no man hath ascended up

John^s doctrine concerning Christ. 

hath not believed in the name of the 
only begotten Son of God. 

19 And this is the condemnation, 
■"that light is come into the world, 
and men loved darkness rather than 
light, because their deeds were evil. 

20 For s every one that doeth evil 
hateth the light, neither cometh to 
the light, lest his deeds should be 
II reproved. 

21 But he that doeth truth, cometh 
to the light, that his deeds may be 
made manifest, that they are wrought 
in God. 

22 ^ After these things came Jesus 
and his disciples into the land of Ju- 
dea ; and there he tarried with them, 
'and baptized. 

23 TI And John also was baptizing in 
^non, near to " Salim, because there 
was much water there : -''and they 
came, and were baptized. 

24 For >' John Mas not yet cast into 
prison. 

25 H Then there arose a question 
between some of John's disciples and 
the Jews, about purifying. 

2G And they came unto John, and 
said unto him. Rabbi, he that was 
with thee beyond Jordan, ^to whom 
thou barest witness, behold, the same 
baptizeth, and all men come to him. 

27 John answered and said,aA man 
can II receive nothing, except it be 
given him from heaven. 

28 Yc yourselves bear me witness, 
that I said, "^I am not the Christ, but 
f^that I am sent before him. 

29 •'He that hath the bride, is the 
bridegroom: but <^the friend of the 
bridegroom, which standeth and 
heareth him, rejoiceth greatly, be- 
cause of the bridegroom's voice: 
this my joy therefore is fulfilled. 

30 He must increase, but I must 
decrease. 

31 'He that cometh from above eis 
above all: ''he that is of the earth is 
earthly, and speakcth of the earth : ' he 
that cometh from heaven is above all. 

32 And i^what he hath seen and 
heard, that he testifieth ; and no man 
receiveth his testimony. 

33 He that hath received his testi- 
mony, 'hath set to his seal that God 
is true. 

34 '"For he whom God hath sent, 
speaketh the words of God : for God

Christ talketh with a 

giveth not the Spirit "by measure 
unto him. 

35 ° The Father loveth the Son and 
hath given all things into his hand. 

36 pHe that believeth on the Son 
hath everlasting life : and he that be 
lieveth not the Son, shall not see life ; 
but the wrath of God abideth on him 

CHAP. IV. 

1 Christ talketh with a woman of Samaria^ and 
revealeth himself unto her. 27 His disciples 
marvel. 31 He declareth to them his zeal to 
God's glory. 39 Many Samaritans believe on 
him. 43 He departeth into Galilee, and healeth 
the ruler's son that lay sick at Capernaum. 

WHEN therefore the Lord knevi^ 
how the Pharisees had heard 
that Jesus made and ^ baptized more 
disciples than John, 

2 (Though Jesus himself baptized 
not, but his disciples,) 

3 He left Judea, and departed again 
into Galilee. 

4 And he must needs go through 
Samaria. 

5 Then cometh he to a city of Sa 
maria, which is called Sychar, near 
to the parcel of ground ''that Jacob 
gave to his son Joseph. 

6 Now Jacob's well was there. Je 
sus therefore being wearied with his 
journey, sat thus on the well : and it 
was about the sixth hour. 

7 There cometh a woman of Sama 
ria to draw water: Jesus saith unto 
her. Give me to drink. 

8 (For his disciples were gone away 
unto the city to buy meat.) 

9 Then saith the woman of Samaria 
unto him, How is it that thou, being 
a Jew, askest drink of me, which am 
a woman of Samaria? for <= the Jews 
haveno dealings with the Samaritans. 

1 Jesus answered and said unto her, 
If thou knewest the gift of God, and 
who it is that saith to thee. Give me 
to drink ; thou wouldest have asked 
of him, and he would have given thee 
(i living water. 

1 1 The woman saith unto him, Sir, 
thou hast nothing to draw with, and 
the well is deep: from whence then 
hast thou that living water ? 

12 Art thou greater than our father 
Jacob, which gave us the well, and 
drank thereof himself, and his chil- 
dren, and his cattle ? 

13 Jesus answered and said unto 
her. Whosoever drinketh of this wa- 
ter, shall thirst again :

woman of Samaria. 

14 But e whosoever drinketh of the 
water that I shall give him, shall never 
thirst ; but the water that I shall give 
him, f shall be in him a well of water 
springing up into everlasting life. 

15 8 The woman saith unto him, Sir, 
give me this water, that I thirst not, 
neither come hither to draw. 

16 Jesus saith unto her. Go call 
thy husband, and come hither. 

17 The woman answered and said, 
I have no husband, Jesus said unto 
her. Thou hast well said, I have no 
husband : 

18 For thou hast had five husbands, 
and he whom thou now hast, is not thy 
husband : in that saidst thou truly. 

19 The woman saith unto him. Sir, 
•^I perceive that thou art a prophet. 

20 Our fathers worshipped in 'this 
mountain ; and ye say, that in ''Je- 
rusalem is the place where men 
ought to worship. 

21 Jesus saith unto her. Woman, 
believe me, the hour cometh, 'when 
ye shall neither in this mountain, nor 
yet at Jerusalem, worship the Fa- 
ther. 

22 Ye worship "ye know not what : 
we know what we worship, for " sal- 
vation is of the Jews. 

23 But the hour cometh, and now 
is, when the true worshippers shall 
worship the Father in ° spirit P and in 
truth : for the Father seeketh such to 
worship him. 

24 q God is a Spirit : and they that 
worship him, must worship him in 
spirit and in truth. 

25 The woman saith unto him, I 
know that Messias cometh, which is 
called Christ ; when he is come, 'he 
will tell us all things. 

26 Jesus saith unto her, ^\ that 
speak unto thee am he. 

27 TI And upon this came his disci- 
ples, and marvelled that he talked 
with the woman : yet no man said, 
What seekest thou? or. Why talkest 
thou with her ? 

28 The woman then left her water- 
pot, and went her way into the city, 
and saith to the men, 

29 Come, see a man * which told 
me all things that ever I did : is not 
this the Christ ? 

30 Then went they out of the city, 
and came unto him. 

1034 



His zeal to do the work of God. 

3 1 H In the mean while his disciples 
prayed him, saying, Master, eat. 

32 But he said unto them, I have 
meat to eat that ye know not of. 

33 Therefore said the disciples one 
to another. Hath any man brought 
him aught to eat ? 

34 Jesus saith unto them, " My meat 
is to do the will of him that sent me, 
and to finish his work. 

35 Say not ye, There are yet fom* 
months, and then cometh harvest? 
behold, I say unto you. Lift up your 
eyes, and look on the fields: ^for 
they are white already to harvest. 

36 >And he that reapeth receiveth 
wages, and gathereth fruit unto life 
eternal : that both he that soweth, and 
he that reapeth, may rejoice together. 

37 And herein is that saying true, 
One soweth, and another reapeth. 

38 I sent you to reap that whereon! 
ye bestowed no labour : other men 
laboured, and ye are entered into 
their labours. 

39 1 And many of the Samaritans 
of that city believed on him ^for 
the saying of the woman, which tes- 
tified. He told me all that ever I did. 

40 So when the Samaritans were 
come unto him, they besought him 
that he would tarry with them : and 
he abode there two days. 

41 And many more believed, be- 
cause of his own word ; 

42 And said unto the woman. Now 
we believe, not because of thy say- 
ing : for ='we have heard him our- 
selves, and know that this is indeed 
the Christ, the Saviour of the world. 

43 If Now, after two days he depart- 
ed thence, and went into Galilee. 

44 For I" Jesus himself testified, that 
a prophet hath no honour in his own 
country. 

45 Then when he was come into 
Galilee, the Galileans received him, 
«= having seen all the things that he 
did at Jerusalem at the feast: ''for 
they also went unto tlie feast. 

46 So Jesus came again into Cana 
of Galilee, «= where he made the water 
wine. And there was a certain || no- 
bleman, whose son was sick at Ca- 
pernaum. 

47 When he heard that Jesus was 
come out of Judea into Galilee, he 
went unto him, and besought him that

He healeth a nohleman^s son. 
he would come down, and heal his 
son : for he was at the point of death. 

48 Then said Jesus unto him, ^Ex- 
cept ye see signs and wonders, ye 
will not believe. 

49 The nobleman saith unto him, 
Sir, come down ere my child die. 

50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy 
way ; thy sonliveth. And the man be- 
lieved the word that Jesus had spoken 
unto him, and he went his way. 

51 And as he was now going down, 
his servants met him, and told him, 
saying. Thy son liveth. 

52 Then inquired he of them the 
hour when he began to amend. And 
they said unto him, Yesterday at the 
seventh hour the fever left him. 

53 So the father knew' that it was 
at the same hour, in the which Jesus 
said unto him. Thy son liveth : and 
himselfbelieved, and his whole house. 

54 This is again the second mira- 
cle that Jesus did, when he was come 
out of Judea into Galilee. 

CHAP. V. 

1 Jesus on the sabbnth-day cureth him that teas 
diseased ei^ht a/id thirty years. 10 The Jews 
therefore caril, ami persecute him fur it. 17 
He attsirereth for himself, and revri/veth them, 
sheiciiii^ by the testimony of his Father, 32 of 
John, 3ij of his iror/.s, 39 and of the scriptures, 
who he is. 

AFTER "^this there was a feast of 
the Jews : and Jesus went up 
to Jerusalem. 

2 Now there is at Jerusalem, ''by 
the sheep || market, a pool, which is 
called in the Hebrew tongue, Bethes- 
da, having five porches. 

3 In these lay a great multitude of 
impotent folk, of blind, halt, wither- 
ed, waiting for the moving of the 
water. 

4 For an angel went down at a cer- 
tain season into the pool, and trou- 
bled the water : whosoever then first 
after the troubling of the water step- 
ped in, was made whole of whatso- 
ever disease he had. 

5 And a certain man was, there, 
which had an infirmity thirty and 
eight years. 

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and 
knew that he had been now a long 
time in that case, he saith unto him. 
Wilt thou be made whole ? 

7 The impotent man answered him, 
Sir, I have no man, when the water is 
troubled, to put me into the pool : 

1035 



Christ healeth an impotent man. 

but while I am coming, another step- 
peth down before me. 

8 Jesus saith unto him, "^Rise, take 
up thy bed, and walk. 

9 And immediately the man was 
made whole, and took up his bed, 
and walked: and ^on the same day 
was the sabbath. 

1 TI The Jews therefore said unto 
him that was cured. It is the sabbath- 
day ; ^it is not lawful for thee to car- 
ry thy bed. 

1 1 He answered them, He that made 
me whole, the same said unto me. 
Take up thy bed^ and walk. 

12 Then asked they him, What man 
is that which said unto thee. Take up 
thy bed, and walk ? 

13 And he that was healed wist not 
who it was : for Jesus had conveyed 
himself away, || a multitude being in 
that place. 

14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in 
the temple, and said unto him. Be- 
hold, thou art made whole : f sin no 
more, lest a worse thing come unto 
thee. 

15 The man departed, and told the 
Jews that it was Jesus which had 
made him whole. 

16 And therefore did the Jews per- 
secute Jesus, and sought to slay him, 
because he had done these things on 
the sabbath-day. 

17 ^ But Jesus answered them, ffMy 
Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 

18 Therefore the Jews *> sought the 
more to kill him, because he not only 
had broken the sabbath, but said 
also, that God was his Father, 'mak- 
ing himself equal with God. 

19 Then answered Jesus, and said 
unto them. Verily, verily, I say unto 
you, kThe Son can do nothing of him- 
self, but what he seeth the Father 
do : for what things soever he doeth, 
these also doeth the Son likewise. 

20 For Hhe Father loveth the Son, 
and sheweth him all things that him- 
self doeth : and he will shew him 
greater works than these, that ye may 
marvel. 

21 For as the Father raiseth up the 
dead, and quickeneth them; "'even 
so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 

22 For the Father judgeth no man ; 
but °hath committed all judgment 
unto the Son :

His testimony concerning John. 

23 That all men should honour the 
Son, even as they honour the Father. 
°He that honoureth not the Son, 
honoureth not the Father which hath 
sent him. 

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
pHe that heareth my word, and be- 
lieveth on him that sent me, hath 
everlasting life, and shall not come 
into condemnation ; ibut is passed 
from death unto life. 

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you. 
The hour is coming, and now is, 
when ""the dead shall hear the voice 
of the Son of God : and they that 
hear shall live. 

26 For as the Father hath life in 
himself, so hath he given to the Son 
to have life in himself; 

27 And ^hath given him authority 
to execute judgment also, 'because 
he is the Son of man. 

28 Marvel not at this: for the 
hour is coming, in the which all 
that are in the graves shall hear his 
voice, 

29 "And shall come forth; ^they 
that have done good, unto the resur- 
rection of life ; and they that have 
done evil, unto the resurrection of 
damnation. 

30 y I can of mine own self do no- 
thing : as I hear, I judge : and my 
judgment is just ; because ^I seek 
not mine own will, but the will of 
the Father which hath sent me. 

31 a If I bear witness of myself, my 
witness is not true. 

32 "H ''There is another that beareth 
witness of me, and I know that the 
witness which he witnesseth of me is 
true. 

33 Ye sent unto John, =and he bare 
witness unto the truth. 

34 But I receive not testimony from 
man : but these things I say, that ye 
might be saved. 

35 He was a burning and "^a shin- 
ing light : and ^ye were willing for a 
season to rejoice in his light. 

36 ^ But fl have greater witness 
than that of John : for sthe works 
which the Father hath given me to 
finish, the same works that I do, bear 
witness of me, that the Father hath 
sent me. 

37 And the Father himself which 
hath sent me, ^haXh borne witness of 

1036 



Christ feedeth five thousand, 

me. Ye have neither heard his voice 
at any time, 'nor seen his shape. 

38 And ye have not his word abid- 
ing in you : for whom he hath sent, 
him ye beheve not. 

39 H I' Search the scriptures; for in 
them ye think ye have eternal hfe : 
And 'they are they whichtestify of me. 

40 ""And ye will not come to me, 
that ye might have life. 

41 "I receive not honour from men. 

42 But 1 know you, that ye have 
not the love of God in you. 

43 I am come in my Father's name, 
and ye receive me not : if another 
shall come in his own name, him ye 
will receive. 

44 oJIow can ye believe, which re- 
ceive honour one of another, and 
seek not Pthe honour that cometh 
from God only ? 

45 Do not think that I will accuse 
you to the Father: q there is one that 
accuseth you, even Moses, in whom 
ye trust. 

46 For had ye believed Moses, ye 
would have believed me: "^for he 
wrote of me. 

47 But if ye believe not his writ-* 
ings, how shall vc believe my words?

ficient for them, that every one of 
them may take a litde. 

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Si- 
mon Peter's brother, saith unto him, 

9 There is a lad here, which hath 
five barley-loaves, and two small 
fishes: •= but what are they among so 
many? 

10 And Jesus said. Make the men 
sit down. (Now there was much grass 
in the place.) So the men sat down 
in number about five thousand. 

1 1 And Jesus took the loaves ; and 
when he had given thanks, he distribu- 
ted to the disciples, and the disciples to 
themthatweresetdown; and likewise 
of the fishes, as much as they would. 

12 When they were filled, he said 
unto his disciples. Gather up the 
fragments that remain, that nothing 
be lost. 

13 Therefore they gathered them 
together, and filled twelve baskets 
with the fragments of the five bar- 
ley-loaves, which remained over and 
above unto them that had eaten. 

14 Then those men, when they had 
seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, 
This is of a truth 'that Prophet that 
should come into the world. 

15 ^ When Jesus therefore perceiv- 
ed that they would come and take 
him by force, to make him a king, 
he departed again into a mountain 
himself alone. 

16 ? And when even was noro come, 
his disciples went down unto the sea, 

17 And entered into a ship, and 
went over the sea toward Caperna- 
um. And it was now dark, and Jesus 
was not come to them. 

18 And the sea arose by reason of 
a great wind that blew. 

19 So when they had rowed about 
five and twenty or thirty furlongs, 
they see Jesus walking on the sea, 
and drawing nigh unto the ship : and 
they were afraid. 

20 But he saith unto them. It is I ; 
be not afraid. 

21 Then they willingly received him 
into the ship : and immediately the 
shipwasatthelandwhither they went. 

22 TI The day following, when the 
people which stood on the other side 
of the sea saw that there was none 
other boat there, save thatone where- 
into his disciples were entered, and 

1037 



Christ declareth himself to he 

that Jesus went not with his disciples 
into the boat, but that his disciples 
were gone away alone ; 

23 (Howbeit there came other boats 
from Tiberias nigh unto the place 
where they did eat bread, after that 
the Lord had given thanks :) 

24 When the people therefore saw 
that Jesus was not there, neither his 
disciples, they also took shipping, and 
came toCapernaum,seekingfor Jesus. 

25 And when they had found him 
on the other side of the sea, they said 
unto him. Rabbi, when earnest thou 
hither ? 

26 Jesus answered them and said, 
Verily, verily,! say unto you. Ye seek 
me, not because ye saw the miracles, 
but because ye did eat of the loaves, 
and were filled. 

27 II Labour not for the meat which 
perisheth, but '^for that meat which 
endureth unto everlasting life, which 
the Son of man shall give unto you : 
'for him hath God the Father sealed. 

28 Then said they unto him, What 
shall we do, that we might work the 
works of God 1 

29 Jesus answered and said unto 
them, i^This is the work of God, that 
ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 

30 They said therefore unto him, 
iWhat sign shewest thou then, that 
we may see, and believe thee ? what 
dost thou work 1 

31 "Our fathers did eat manna in 
the desert; as it is written, °He gave 
them bread from heaven to eat. 

32 Then Jesus said unto them. Ve- 
rily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave 
3'ou not that bread from heaven ; but 
my Father giveth you the true bread 
from heaven. 

33 For the bread of God is he which 
cometh down from heaven, and giv- 
eth life unto the world. 

34 °Then said they unto him, Lord, 
evermore give us this bread. 

35 And Jesus said unto them, pI 
am the bread of life : qhe that cometh 
to me, shall never hunger; and he that 
believeth on me, shall never thirst. 

36 rBut I said unto you. That ye 
also have seen me, and believe not. 

37 sAU that the Father giveth me, 
shall come to me ; and ' him that com- 
eth to me, I will in no wise cast out. 

38 For I came down from heaven,

the bread of life to believers. 

"not to do mine own will, ''but the 
will of him that sent me. 

39 And this is the Father's will 
which hath sent me, ythat of all 
which he hath given me, I should lose 
nothing, but should raise it up again 
at the last day. 

40 And this is the will of him that 
sent me, ^that every one which seeth 
the Son, and believeth on him, may 
have everlasting life : and I will raise 
him up at the last day. 

41 The Jews then murmured at 
him, because he said, I am the bread 
which came down from heaven. 

42 And they said, J^Is not this Jesus 
the son of Joseph, whose father and 
mother we know ? how is it then that 
he saith, I came down from heaven? 

43 Jesus therefore answered ' and 
said unto them. Murmur not among 
yourselves. 

44 ^No man can come to me, ex- 
cept the Father which hath sent me 
draw him : and I will raise him up at 
the last day. 

45 "^It is written in the prophets. 
And they shall be all taught of God. 
•^Every man therefore that hath heard, 
and hath learned of the Father, com- 
eth unto me. 

46 ^Not that any man hath seen the 
Father, ^save he which is of God, he 
hath seen the Father. 

47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
sHe that believeth on me hath ever- 
lasting life. 

48 hi am that bread of life. 

49 'Your fathers did eat manna in 
the wilderness, and are dead. 

50 "^This is the bread which cometh 
down from heaven, that a man may 
eat thereof, and not die. 

51 I am the living bread 'which 
came down from heaven: if any man 
eat of this bread, he shall live for 
ever: and nithe bread that I will give 
is my flesh, which I will give for the 
life of the world. 

52 The Jews therefore "strove a- 
mong themselves, saying, °How can 
this man give us his flesh to eat? 

53 Then Jesus said unto them. Ve- 
rily, verily, I say unto you. Except 
Pye eat the flesh of the Son of man, 
and drink his blood, ye have no life 
in you.

and I will raise him up at the last day. 

55 For my flesh is meat indeed, 
and my blood is drink indeed. 

56 He that eateth my flesh, and 
drinketh my blood, ^dwelleth in me, 
and I in him. 

57 As the living Father hath sent 
me, and I live by the Father: so he 
that eateth me, even he shall live by 
me. 

58 8 This is that bread which came 
down from heaven : not as your fa- 
thers did eat manna, and are dead : 
he that eateth of this bread shall 
live for ever. 

59 These things said he in the sy- 
nagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 

60 ' Many therefore of his disciples, 
when they had heard this, said, This 
is a hard saying; who can hear it? 

61 When Jesus knew in himself 
that his disciples murmured at it, he 
said unto them. Doth thisofl'end you? 

62 " What and if ye shall see the 
Son of man ascend up where he 
was before ? 

63 ^It is the Spirit that quicken

65 And he said. Therefore ^^said I 
unto you, that no man can come un- 
to me, except it were given unto 
him of my Father. 

66 H^'From that time many of his 
disciples went back, and walked no 
more w ith him. 

67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, 
Will ye also go away I 

68 Then Simon Peter answered 
him. Lord, to whom shall we go? 
thou hast ■: the words of eternal life. 

69 ^ And we believe, and are sure 
that thou art that Christ, the Son of 
the living God. 

70 Jesus answered them, « Have not 
I chosen you twelve, f and one of you 
is a devil ? 

71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the 
son of Simon : for he it was that 
should betray him, being one of the 
twelve.

Jesus reproveth his kinsmen. 
CHAP. VII. 

1 Jesus reproveth the ambition and boldness of his 
kinsmen : 10 goeth vpfrom Galilee to the feast 
of tabernacles : H teacheih in the temple. 40 
Divers opinions of him among- the people. 45 
The Pharisees are angry that their officers 
took him not, and chide with Xicodemus for 
taking- his part. 

AFTER these things Jesus walk- 
ed in Galilee : for he would not 
walk in Jewry, ^ because the Jews 
sought to kill him. 

2 t" Now the Jews' feast of taberna- 
cles was at hand. 

3 "^His brethren therefore said unto 
him, Depart hence, and go into Ju- 
dea, that thy disciples also may see 
the works that thou doest. 

4 For tliere is no man that doeth 
any thing in secret, and he himself 
seeketh to be known openly. If thou 
do these things, shew thyself to the 
world. 

5 (For <^ neither did his brethren be- 
lieve in him.) 

6 Then Jesus said unto them, '^My 
time is not yet come : but your time 
is always ready. 

7 'The world cannot hate you ; but 
me it hateth, " because I testify of it, 
that the works thereof are evil. 

8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go 
not up yet unto this feast; ^ for my 
time is not yet full come. 

9 AVhen he had said these ivords 
unto them, he abode still in Galilee. 

10 II But when his brethren were 
gone up, then went he also up unto 
the feast, not openly, but as it were 
in secret. 

1 1 Then ' the Jews sought him at 
the feast, and said. Where is he ? 

12 And 1^ there was much murmur- 
ing among the people concerning 
him: for 'some said. He is a good 
man: others said. Nay; but he de- 
ceiveth the people. 

13 Howbeit, no man spake openly 
of him, ""for fear of the Jews. 

14 TI Now, about the midst of the 
feast, Jesus went up into the temple 
and taught. 

15 ■> And the Jews mars^elled, say- 
ing. How knoweth this man || letters, 
having never learned ? 

16 Jesus answered them, and said, 
°My doctrine is not mine, but his 
that sent mc. 

17 P If any man will do his will, he 
shall know of the doctrine, whether 

1039 



Christ teacheth in the temple. 

it be of God, or whether I speak of 
myself. 

18 q He that speaketh of himself, 
seeketh his own glory : but he that 
seeketh his glory that sent him, the 
same is true, and no unrighteousness 
is in him. 

19 ""Did not Moses give you the 
law, and yet none of you keepeth 
the law ? 8 Why go ye about to kill 
me? 

20 The people answered and said, 
* Thou hast a devil : who goeth about 
to kill thee 1 

21 Jesus answered and said unto 
them, I have done one work, and ye 
all marvel. 

22 "Moses therefore gave unto you 
circumcision, (not because it is of 
Moses, -^ but of the fathers ;) and 
ye on the sabbath-day circumcise 
a man. 

23 If a man on the sabbath-day re- 
ceive circumcision, || that the law of 
Moses should not be broken ; are ye 
angry at me, because y I have made 
a man every whit whole on the sab- 
bath-day? 

24 2 Judge not according to the ap- 
pearance, but judge righteous judg- 
ment. 

25 Then said some of them of Je- 
rusalem, Is not this he whom they 
seek to kill? 

26 But lo, he speaketh boldly, and 
they say nothing unto him. ^^Do the 
rulers know indeed that this is the 
very Christ? 

27 ^ Howbeit, we know this man 
whence he is: but when Christ Com- 
eth, no man knoweth whence he is. 

28 Then cried Jesus in the temple, 
as he taught, saying, <= Ye both know 
me, and ye know whence I am : and 
^ I am not come of myself, but he 
that sent me ^is true, ^whom ye 
know not. 

29 But s\ know him ; for I am from 
him, and he hath sent me. 

30 Then ^ they sought to take him : 
but 'no man laid hands on him, be- 
cause his hour was not yet come. 

31 And '^many of the people be- 
lieved on him, and said, When Christ 
Cometh, will he do more miracles 
than these which this TTiaTi hath done ? 

32 "^ The Pharisees heard that the 
people murmured such things con-

Divers opinions concerning him, 

"cerning him : and the Pharisees and 
the chief priests sent officers to take 
him. 

33 Then said Jesus unto them, 
' Yet a little while am I with you, 
and then I go unto him that sent me. 

34 Ye ""shall seek me, and shall 
not find me: and where I am, thither 
ye cannot come. 

35 Then said the Jews among them- 
selves. Whither will he go, that we 
shall not find him ? will he go unto 
" the dispersed among the |1 Gentiles, 
and teach the Gentiles? 

36 What manner of saying is this 
that he said, Ye shall seek me, and 
shall not find me : and where I am, 
thither ye cannot come ? 

37 °In the last day, that great day 
of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, 
saying, P If any man thirst, let him 
come unto me, and drink. 

38 q He that believeth on me, as the 
scripture hath said, ^ out of his belly 
shall flow rivers of living water. 

39 (^ But this spake he of the Spirit, 
which they that believe on him 
should receive, for the Holy Ghost 
was not yet given, because that Je- 
sus was not yet 'glorified.) 

40 IF Many of the people therefore, 
when they heard this saying, said, 
Of a truth this is "the Prophet. 

41 Others said, ^This is the Christ. 
But some said, Shall Christ come 
y out of Galilee ? 

42 ^Hath not the scripture said. 
That Christ cometh of the seed of 
David, and out of the town of Beth-

the people because of him.

taken him ; but no man laid hands 
on him.

chief priests and Pharisees ; and 
they said unto them, Why have ye 
not brought him? 

46 The officers answered, ^ Never 
man spake like this man.

1 Christ dfliveretli the icomnK taken in adultery. 
12 He preacheOi himself the li<rltt of tlie icorld, 
arid justijieth his doctrine: 'Si ansuereth the 
Jews that boasted of Abraham, 59 and coHvey- 
cth himself from their cruelty. 

JESUS went unto the mount of 
Olives: 

2 And early in the morning he 
came again into the temple, and all 
the people came unto him; and he 
sat down and taught them. 

3 And the scribes and Pharisees 
brought unto him a woman taken in 
adulter\': and when they had set her 
in the midst, 

4 They say unto him. Master, this 
woman was taken in adulterv, in the 
very act. 

5 "Now Moses in the law com- 
manded us, that such should be ston- 
ed : but what sayest thou ? 

(5 Tills they said, tempting him, 
that they might have to accuse him. 
But Jesus stooped down, and with 
liis finger wrote on the ground, us 
thouf^h he heard ihem nut. 

7 So when they continued asking 
him, he lifted up himself, and said 
unto them, ''He that is without sin 
among you, let him hrst cast a stone 
at her. 

8 And again lie stooped down, and 
wrote on the ground. 

9 And they which heard it, <= being 
convicted by their own conscience, 
went out one by one, beginning at 
the eldest, even unto the last: and 
Jesus was left alone, and the woman 
standing in the midst. 

10 When Jesus had lifted up him- 
self, and saw none but the woman, 
he said unto her. Woman, where are 
those thine accusers? hath no man 
condemned thee ?

Jesus said unto her, '^ Neither do I

Christ the light of the world. 

12 lIThen spake Jesus again unto 
them, saying, 'I am the light of the 
world : he that foUbweth me shall not 
^yalk in darkness, but shall have the 
light of life. 

13 The Pharisees therefore said 
unto him, sThou bearest record of 
thyself; thy record is not true. 

14 Jesus answered and said unto 
them, Though I bear record of my- 
self, yet my record is true : for I know 
whence I came, and whither I go : 
but ''ye cannot tell whence I come, 
and whither I go.. 

1 5 'Ye judge after the flesh, ^ I judge 
no man. 

1 6 And yet if I judge, my judgment 
is tioie: for 'I am not alone, but I 
and the Father that sent me. 

17 '"It is also written in your law, 
that the testimony of two men is 
true. 

18 I am one that bear witness of 
myself; and "thePalher that sent me, 
beareth witness of me. 

19 Then said they unto him. Where 
is thy Father? Jesus answered, "Ye 
neither know me, nor my Father: 
P if ye had known me, ye should have 
known my Father also. 

20 These words spake Jesus in <!the 
treasury, as he taught in the temple : 
and ■■ no man laid hands on him, for 
^his hour was not yet come. 

21 Then said Jesus again unto them, 
I go my way, and ' ye shall seek me, 
and " shall die in your sins : whither 
I go, ye cannot come. 

22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill 
himself? because he saith. Whither 
I go, ye cannot come. 

23 And he said unto them, "Ye are 
from beneath: I am from above: ) ye 
are of this world ; I am not of this 
world. 

24 ^ I said therefore unto you, that 
ye shall die in your sins : ''for if ye 
believe not that I am he, ye shall die 
in your sins. 

25 Then said they unto him. Who 
art thou? And Jesus saith unto them. 
Even the same that I said unto you 
from the beginning. 

26 I have many things to say, and 
to judge of you: but ''he that sent 
me, is tru,e ; and <=I speak to the world 
those things Avhich I have heard of 
him. 

1041 



True freedom promised to believers. 

27 They understood not that he 
spake to them of the Father. 

28 Then said Jesus unto them, 
When ye have ^hfted up the Son of 
man, ^then shall ye know that I am 
he, and ^that I do nothing of myself; 
but gas my Father hath taught me, 
I speak these things. 

29 And I'he that sent me is with 
me: 'the Father hath not left me 
alone ; i^for I do always those things 
that please him. 

30 As he spake these words, ^many 
believed on him. 

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews 
which believed on him. If ye continue 
in my word, then are ye my disciples 
indeed ; 

32 And ye shall know the truth, and 
"' the truth shall make you free. 

33 1^ They answered him, " We be 
Abraham's seed, and were never in 
bondage to any man: how sayest 
thou, Ye shall be made free? 

34 Jesus answered them, Verily, 
verily, I say unto you, °Whosoever 
committeth sin, is the servant of 
sin. 

35 And Pthe servant abideth not in 
the house for ever, hct the Son abid- 
eth ever. 

36 q If the Son therefore shall make 
you free, ye shall be free indeed. 

37 I know that ye are Abraham's 
seed ; but ""ye seek to kill me, because 
my word hath no place in you. 

38 ^I speak that which I have seen 
withmy Father: and ye do thatwhich 
ye have seen with your father. 

39 They answered and said unto 
him, ^Abraham is our father. Jesus 
saith unto them, "If ye were Abra- 
ham's children, ye would do the 
works of Abraham. 

40 ^ But now ye seek to kill me, a 
man that hath told you the truth, 
y which I have heard of God : this 
did not Abraham. 

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. 
Then said they to him. We be not 
born of fornication ; ^ we have one 
Father, even God. 

42 Jesus said unto them, ^ If God 
were your Father, y« would love 
me : I'for I proceeded forth and came 
from God ; « neither came I of my- 
f elf, but he sent me.

and went out of the temple, 'going 
through the midst of them, and so 
passed by. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 TTte man that teas born blind resloreti to sight. 
8 He is brought to the Pharisees. 13 They are 
offended at it., atid excommunicate him : 'do but 
he is received of Jesus, and confcssilh hitn. 39 
tVho they are ichom Christ enlighieneth. 

AND as Jesus passed by, he saw 
a man which Mas blind from 
his birth. 

2 And his disciples asked him, say- 
ing, Master, =^who did sin, this man, 
or his parents, that he was born blind ? 

3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this 
man sinned, nor his parents: ''but 
that the works of God should be 
made manifest in him. 

4 "=1 must work the works of him 
that sent me, while it is day : the 
night cometh, when no man can 
work. 

5 As long as I am in the world, <* I 
am the light of the world. 

6 When he had thus spoken, «^ he 
spat on the ground, and made clay 
of the spittle, and he || anointed the 
eyes of the blind man with the clay, 

7 And said unto him. Go, wash Hn 
the pool of Siioain, (which is by in- 
terpretation. Sent.) s He went his 
way therefore, and washed, and 
came seeing. 

8 11 The neighbours therefore, and 
they which before had seen him that 
he was blind, said. Is not this he that 
sat and begged ! 

9 Some said, This is he : others said. 
He is like him : but he said, I am he. 

10 Therefore said they unto him, 
How were thine eyes opened ? 
' 11 He answered and said, ''A man 
that is called Jesus, made clay, and 
anointed mine eyes, and said unto 
me. Go to the pool of Siloam, and 
Mash: and I Mcnt and M'ashed, and

I received sight. 

12 Then said they unto him, Where 
is he ? He said, 1 know not. 

13 H They brought to the Pharisees 
him that aforetime Mas blind. 

14 And it M'as the sabbath-day Mhen 
Jesus made the clay, and opened his 
eyes. 

15 Then again the Pharisees also 
asked him how he had received his 
sight. He said unto them, He put 



The Pharisees question the miracle, 

clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, 
and do see. 

16 Therefore said some of the Pha- 
risees, This man is not of God, be- 
cause he keepeth not the sabbath- 
day. Others said, 'How can a man 
that is a sinner do such miracles? 
And ''there Mas a division among 
them. 

17 They say unto the blind man 
again. What sayest thou of him, that 
he hath opened thine eyes ? He said, 
'He is a prophet. 

18 Butthe Jews did notbelieve con- 
cerning him, that he had been blind, 
and received his sight, until they 
called the parents of him that had 
received his sight. 

19 And they asked them, saying. Is 
this your son, Avho ye say Mas born 
blind? HoM' then doth he now see? 

20 His parents ansMcred them and 
said. We know that this is our son, 
and that he Mas born blind : 

21 But by M'hatmeanshenoM' seetli, 
M'e know not; or M'ho hath opened 
his eyes, M'e knoM' not : he is of age ; 
ask him: he shall speak for himself. 

22 These words spake his parents, 
because ""they feared the Jews: for 
the JcMS had agreed already, that if 
any man did confess that he M'as 
Christ, he " should be put out of the 
synagogue. 

23 Therefore said his parents, He 
is of age : a.sk him. 

24 Then again called they the man 
that M'as blind, and said unto him, 
"Give God the praise: I'we know 
that this man is a sinner. 

2.5 He ansMcred and said. Whether 
he be a sinner or 7!o, I know not: one 
tiling I knoM', that, whereas I was 
blind, now I see. 

20 Then said they to him again. 
What did he to thee ? how opened 
he thine eyes ? 

27 He answered them, I have told 
you already, and ye did not hear : 
M-herefore Mould ye hear it again ? 
M-ill ye also be his disciples ? 

28 Then they reviled him, and said, 
Thou art his' disciple ; but we are 
Moses' disciples. 

29 We know that God spake unto 
.1 ch. g. 14. Moses ; as for this fellow, 1 we know 

not from whence he is.

Christ is the door, 

unto them, ""Why, herein is amarve 
lous thing, that ye know not from 
whence he is, and yet he hath open- 
ed mine eyes. 

31 Now we know that ^God hear 
eth not sinners: but if any man be 
a worshipper of God, and doeth his 
will, him iie heareth. 

32 Since the world began was it not 
heard that any man opened the eyes 
of one that was born bhnd. 

33 * If this man were not of God, 
he could do nothing. 

34 They answered and said unto 
him, " Thou wast altogether born in 
sins, and dost thou teach us ? And 
they II cast him out. 

35 Jesus heard that they had cast 
him out : and when he had found 
him, he said unto him. Dost thou 
believe on -"^the Son of God? 

36 He answered and said, Who is he. 
Lord, that I might believe on him 1 

37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou 
hast both seen him, and )'it is he that 
talketh with thee. 

38 And he said, Lord, I believe. 
And he worshipped him. 

39 T[ And Jesus said, ^ For judgment 
I am come into this world ; 'Uhat they 
which see not might see, and that 
they which see, might be made bhnd. 

40 And some of the Pharisees which 
were with him heard these w^ords, 
*> and said unto him. Are we blind 
also? 

41 Jesus said unto them, <= If ye were 
blind, ye should have no sin : but 
now ye say. We see ; therefore your 
sin remaineth.

low, but will flee from him : for they 
know not the voice of strangers. 

6 This parable spake Jesus unto 
them : but they understood not what 
things they were which he spake 
unto them. 

7 Then said Jesus unto them again, 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am 
the door of the sheep. 

8 All that ever came before me are 
thieves and I'obbers : but the sheep 
did not hear them. 

9 ^1 am the door : by me if any 
man enter in, he shall be saved, and 
shall go in and out, and find pasture. 

1 The thief cometh not, but for to 
steal, and to kill, and to destroy : I 
am come that they might have life, 
and that they might have it more 
abundantly. 

1 1 1^ I am the good shepherd : the 
good shepherd giveth his hfe for the 
sheep. 

12 But he that is a hireling, and 
not the shepherd, whose own the 
sheep are^not, seeth the wolf coming, 
and <^leaveth the sheep, and fleeth ; 
and the wolf catcheth them, and scat- 
tereth the sheep, 

13 The hirehng fleeth, because he 
is a hireling, and careth not for the 
sheep. 

14 I am the good shepherd, and 
d know my sheep, and am known of 
mine, 

15 "As the Father knoweth me, 
even so know I the Father : ^and I 
lay down my life for the sheep. 

16 And bother sheep I have, which 
are not of this fold : them also I must 
bring, and they shall hear my voice ; 
h and there shall be one fold, and one 
shepherd. 

17 Therefore doth my Father love 
me, "because I lay dowjn my life, 
that I might take it again, 

18 No man taketh it from me, but 
I lay it down of myself. I have power 
to lay it down, and I i^have power to 
take it again, i This commandment 
have I received of my Father.

fore again among the Jews for these 
sayings.

ye him ? 

2\ Others said, These are not the 
words of him that hath a devil. ° Can 
a devil p open the eyes of the bhnd ? 

22 IF And it was at Jerusalem the 
feast of the dedication, and it was 
winter. 

23 And Jesus walked in the temple 
■"in Solomon's porch. 

24 Then came the Jews round about 
him. and said unto him. How long 
dost thou II make us to doubt 1 If 
thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 

25 Jesus answered them, I told you, 
and ye believed not: ^ the works that 
I do in my Father's name, they bear 
witness of me. 

26 But ' ye believe not, because ye 
are not of my sheep, as I said unto 
you. 

27 " jNIy sheep hear my voice, and 
I know them, and they follow me : 

28 And I give unto them eternal 
life; and *tliey shall never perish, 
neither shall any pluck them out of 
my hand.

me, is greater than all ; and none 
is able to pluck them out of my Fa- 
ther's hand. 

30 =1 1 and my Father are one, 

31 Then i^the Jews took up stones 
again to stone him. 

32 Jesus answered them, Many 
good works have I shewed you from 
my Father ; for which of those 
works do ye stone me ? 

33 The Jews answered him, saying, 
For a good work we stone thee not ; 
but for blasphemy, and because 
that thou, being a man, "^makest thy- 
self God. 

34 Jesus answered them, ^ Is it not 
written in your law, I said, Ye are 
gods ? 

35 If he called them god.s, ^ unto 
whom the word of God came, and 
the scripture cannot be broken ;

39 n Therefore they sought again 
to take him ; but he escaped out of 
their hand, 

40 And went away again beyond 
Jordan, into the place ° where John 
at first baptized ; and there he abode. 

41 And many resorted unto him, 
and said, John did no miracle; Pbut 
all things that John spake of this 
man were true. 

42 1 And many believed on him

CHAP. XI. 

1 Christ raiseih Lazarus, four days buried, 45 
Mcny Jetcs believe. 47 Xhe high priests and 
Pharisees gather a council against Christ. 49 
Caiaphas prophesieih. 54 Jesus hid himself. 
55 At the passover they inquire after him, and 
lay trail for him. 

NOW a certain man was sick, 
named Lazarus, of Bethany, 
the town of ^Mary and her sister 
Martha. 

2 (''It was that Marj' wliich anoint- 
ed the Lord with ointment, and 
wiped his feet with her hair, whose 
brother Lazarus was sick.) 

3 Therefore his sisters sent unto 
him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom 
thou lovest is sick. 

4 When Jesus heard that, he said, 
This sickness is not unto death, "^but 
for the glor>' of God, that the Son of 
God might be glorified thereby. 

5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her 
sister, and Lazarus. 

6 When he had heard therefore that 
he was sick, ''he abode two days 
still in the same place where he was. 

7 Then after that saith he to his dis- 
ciples, Let us go into Judea again. 

8 His disciples say unto him, Mas- 
ter, «thc Jews of late sought to stone 
thee ; and goest thou thither again ? 

9 Jesus answered, Are there not 
twelve hours in the day ? ^If any 
man walk in the day, he stumbleth 
not, because he seeth the light of 
this world. 

10 But ? if a man walk in the night, 
he stumbleth, because there is no 
light in him. 

1 1 These things said he : and after 
that he saith unto them, Our friend 
Lazarus *isleepeth; but I go that I 
may awake him out of sleep. 

12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if 
he sleep, he shall do well. 

1045 



Jesus raiseth Lazarus to life 

13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his 
death : but they thought that he had 
spoken of taking of rest in sleep. 

14 Then said Jesus unto them plain- 
ly, Lazarus is dead. 

15 And I am glad for your sakes 
that I was not there, to the intent ye 
may believe ; nevertheless, let us go 
unto him. 

16 Then said Thomas, which is 
called Didymus, unto his fellow-dis- 
ciples. Let us also go, that we may 
die with him. 

17 Then when Jesus came, he found 
that he had lain in the grave four 
days already. 

18 (Now Bethany was nigh unto Je- 
rusalem, || about fifteen furlongs off:) 

1 9 And many of the Jews came to 
Martha and Mary, to comfort them 
concerning their brother. 

20 Then Martha, as soon as she 
heard that Jesus was coming, went 
and met him : but Mary sat still in 
the house. 

21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, 
Lord, if thou hadst been here, my 
brother had not died. 

22 But I know that even now, 
' whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, 
God will give it thee. 

23 Jesus saith unto her. Thy bro- 
ther shall rise again. 

24 Martha saith unto him, ^1 know 
that he shall rise again in the resur- 
rection at the last day. 

25 Jesus said unto her, I am ^ the 
resurrection, and the ""life : "he that 
believeth in me, though he were dead 
yet shall he live: 

26 And whosoever liveth, and be- 
lieveth in me, shall nev^r die. Be- 
lievest thou this? 

27 She saith unto him. Yea, Lord : 
°I believe that thou art the Christ, 
the Son of God, which should come 
into the world. 

28 And when she had so said, she 
went her way, and called Mary her 
sister secretly, saying. The Master 
is come, and calleth for thee. 

29 As soon as she heard that, she 
arose quickly, and came unto him. 

30 Now Jesus was not yet come 
into the town, but was in that place 
where Martha met him. 

3 1 P The Jews then which were with 
her in the house, and comforted her,

afte7- he had been dead four days 

when they saw Mary that she rose 
up hastily, and went out, followed her, 
saying. She goeth unto the grave to 
weep there. 

32 Then when Mary was come 
where Jesus was, and saw him, she 
fell down at his feet, sayingunto him, 
1 Lord, if thou hadst been here, my 
brother had not died. 

33 When Jesus therefore saw her 
weeping, and the Jews also weeping 
which came with her, he groaned in 
the spirit, and fwas troubled, 

34 And said. Where have ye laid 
him ? They say unto him, Lord, 
come and see. 

35 '' Jesus wept, 

36 Then said the Jews, Behold 
how he loved him ! 

37 And some of them said. Could 
not this man, « which opened the eyes 
of the blind, have caused that even 
this man should not have died 1 

38 Jesus therefore again groaning 
in himself, cometh to the grave. It 
was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 

39 Jesus said. Take ye away the 
stone. Martha, the sister of him that 
was dead, saith unto him. Lord, by 
this time he stinketh : for he hath 
been dead four days. 

40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not 
unto thee, that if thou wouldest be- 
lieve, thou shouldest ' see the glory 
of God ? 

41 Then they took away the stone 
from the place where the dead was 
laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, 
and said. Father, I thank thee that 
thou hast heard me : 

42 And I knew that thou hearest 
me always : but "because of the peo- 
ple which stand by, I said it, that they 
may believe that thou hast sent me. 

43 And when he thus had spoken, 
he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, 
come forth. 

44 And he that was dead came 
forth, bound hand and foot with 
grave-clothes: and ^his face ^vas 
bound about with a napkin. Jesus 
saith unto them. Loose him, and let 
him go. 

45 Then many of the Jews which 
came to Mary, yand had seen the 
things which Jesus did, believed on 
him. 

46 But some of them went their 

1046 



Caiaplias prophesieth. 

ways to the Pharisees, and told them 
what things Jesus had done. 

47 1[ ^ Then gathered the chief 
priests and the Pharisees a council, 
and said, =^ What do we ? for this man 
doeth many miracles. 

48 If we let him thus alone, all 
men will believe on him : and the 
Romans shall come, and take away 
both our place and nation. 

49 And one of them, named ''Caia- 
phas, being the high priest that 
same year, said unto them. Ye know 
nothing at all, 

50 <=iVor consider that it is expe- 
dient for us, that one man should die 
for the people, and that the whole 
nation perish not. 

51 And this spake he not of him- 
self: but being high priest that year, 
he prophesied that Jesus should die 
for that nation ; 

52 And "inot for that nation only, 
*but that also he should gather toge- 
ther in one the children of God that 
were scattered abroad. 

53 Then from that day fortli they 
took counsel together for to- put him 
to death. 

54 Jesus ^therefore walked no more 
openly among tiie Jews ; but went 
thence unto a country near to the 
wilderness, into a city called eE- 
phraim, and there continued with his 
disciples. 

55 i[ ''And the Jews' passover was 
nigh at hand : and many went out 
of the counlrj^ up to Jerusalem be- 
fore the passover, to purify them- 
selves. 

5G 'Then sought they for Jesus, 
and spake among themselves, as they 
stood in the temple. What think ye, 
that he will not come to the feast ? 

57 Now both the chief priests and 
the Pharisees had given a command- 
ment, that, if any man knew where 
he were, he should shew it, that they 
might take him.

Mai-y anointeih the feet of Jestis. 

a where Lazarus was which had been 
dead, whom he raised from the dead. 

2 b There they made him a supper ; 
and Martha served: but Lazarus was 
one of them that sat at the table with 
him. 

3 Then took ^Mary a pound of 
ointment of spikenard, very costly, 
and anointed the feet of Jesus, and 
wiped his feet with her hair : and 
the house was filled with the odour 
of the ointment. 

4 Then saith one of his disciples, 
Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which 
should betray him, 

5 Why was not this ointment sold 
for three hundred pence, and given 
to the poor ? 

6 This he said, not that he cared 
for the poor ; but because he was a 
thief, and ^^had the bag, and bare 
what was put therein. 

7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone : 
against the day of my burj^ing hath 
she kept this. 

8 For^the pooralways ye have with 
you ; but me ye have not always. 

9 Much people of the Jews there- 
fore knew that he was there : and 
they came, not for Jesus' sake only, 
but that they might see Lazarus 
also, fwhom he had raised from the 
dead. 

10 Tie But the chief priests con- 
sulted that they might put Lazarus 
also to death ; 

11 ''Because that by reason of him 
many of the Jews went away, and 
believed on Jesus. 

12 H 'On the next day, much peo- 
ple that were come to the feast, when 
they heard that Jesus was coming to 
Jerusalem, 

13 Took branches of palm-trees, 
and went forth to meet him, and 
cried, '' Hosanna ; Blessed is the 
King of Israel that cometh in the 
name of the Lord. 

14 'And Jesus, when he had found 
a young ass, sat thereon ; as it is 
written, 

15 '"Fear not, daughter of Sion : 
behold, thy King cometh, sitting on 
an ass's colt. 

16 These things "understood not 
his disciples at the first : "but when 
Jesus was glorified, Pthen remem- 
bered they that these things were 

1047

written of him, and that they had 
done these things unto him. 

17 The people therefore that was 
with him when he called Lazarus out 
of his grave, and raised him from the 
dead, bare record. 

18 qFor this cause the people also 
met him, for that they heard that he 
had done this miracle. 

19 The Pharisees therefore said a- 
mong themselves, ■" Perceive ye how 
ye prevail nothing ? behold, the world 
is gone after him. 

20 lIAnd there ^ were certain Greeks 
among them, 'that came up to wor- 
ship at the feast. 

21 The same came therefore to Phi- 
lip, "which was of Bethsaida of Ga- 
lilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, 
we would see Jesus. 

22 Philip Cometh and telleth An- 
drew: and again, Andrew and Philip 
tell Jesus. 

23 ^And Jesus answered them, 
saying, ^ The hour is come, that the 
Son of man should be glorified. 

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you 
y Except a corn of wheat fall into the 
ground and die, it abideth alone : but 
if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 

25 ^He that loveth his life shall lose 
it ; and he that hateth his life in this 
v/orld, shall keep it unto life eternal. 

28 If any man serve me, let him 
follov/ me ; and ^ where I am, there 
shall also my servant be : if any man 
serve me, him will ??i2/ Father honour. 

27 ^Now is my soul troubled ; and 
what shall I say ? Father, save me 
from this hour: <=but for this cause 
came I unto this hour. 

28 Father, glorify thy name. i^Then 
came there a voice from heaven, say 
ing, I have both glorified it, and will 
glorify it again. 

29 The people therefore that stood 
by, and heard it, said that it thun- 
dered. Others said. An angel spake 
to him. 

30 Jesus answered and said, ^This 
voice came not because of me, but 
for your sakes. 

31 Now is the judgment of this 
world : now shall ^the prince of this 
world be cast out. 

32 And I, gif I be lifted up from 
the earth, will draw ^aW men unto 
me.

34 The people answered him, ^ We 
have heard out of the law that Christ 
abideth for ever: and how sayest 
thou. The Son of man must be lifted 
up ? Who is this Son of man 1 

35 Then Jesus said unto them. Yet 
a little while ^is the light with you, 
'"Walk while ye have the light, lest 
darkness come upon you : for "he 
that walketh in darkness knoweth 
not whither he goeth. 

36 While ye have light, believe in 
the light, that ye may be °the chil- 
dren of light. These things spake 
Jesus, and departed, and Pdid hide 
himself from them. 

37 ^But though he had done so 
many miracles before them, yet they 
believed not on him : 

38 That the saying of Esaias the 
prophet might be fulfilled, which he 
spake, iLord, who hath believed our 
report ? and to whom hath the arm 
of the Lord been revealed ? 

39 Therefore they could not believe, 
because that Esaias said again, 

40 r He hath blinded their eyes, and 
hardened their heart; that they should 
not see with their eyes, nor under- 
stand with their heart, and be con- 
verted, and I should heal them. 

41 s These things said Esaias, when 
he saw his glory, and spake of 
him. 

42 1[ Nevertheless, among the chief 
rulers also many believed on him ; 
but t because of the Pharisees they 
did not confess him, lest they should 
be put out of the synagogue : 

43 "For they loved the praise of 
men more than the praise of God. 

44 ^ Jesus cried, and said, ^He 
that believeth on me, believeth not 
on me, but on him that sent me : 

45 And yhe that seeth me, seeth 
him that sent me. 

46 ^ I am come a light into the 
world, that whosoever believeth on 
me should not abide in darkness. 

47 And if any man hear my words, 
and beheve not, ^I judge him not: 
for bl came not to judge the world, 
but to save the world. 

48 cHe that rejecteth me, and re- 
ceiveth not my words, hath one that 
judgeth him : "^the word that I have 

1048 



Jesus washeth his disciples' feet. 

spoken, the same shall judge him in 
the last day. 

49 For ^1 have not spoken of my- 
self; but the Father -which sent me. 
he gave me a commandment, ''what I 
should say, and what I should speak. 

50 And I know that his command- 
ment is life everlasting : whatsoever 
I speak therefore, even as the Father 
said unto me, so I speak. 

CHAP. xm. 

1 Jesus urnsketh the disciples' feet : exhorteth them 
to humility and charity. ] V, He foretelleth, and 
discovereth to John by a tol<en, that Judas xkould 
betray him : 31 conimandeth them to love one an- 
other, 2ii and fareicarneth Peter of his denial. 

NOW a before the feast of the 
passover, when Jesus knew that 
''his hour was come that he should 
depart out of this world unto the 
Father, having loved his own which 
were in the world, he loved them 
unto the end. 

2 And supper being ended, (^the 
devil having now put into the heart 
of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to 
betray him,) 

3 Jesus knowing i^that the Father 
had given all things into his hands, 
and <^that he was come from God, 
and went to God ; 

4 'He riseth from supper, and laid 
aside his garments ; and took a towel, 
and girded himself 

5 After that, he poureth water into 
a bason, and began to wash the dis- 
ciples' feet, and to wipe them with 
the towel wherewith he was girded. 

G Then cometh he to Simon Peter: 
and f Peter saith unto him. Lord, 
&dost thou wash my feet ? 

7 Jesus answered and said unto 
him. What I do thou knowest not 
now; hbut thou shalt know here- 
after. 

8 Peter saith unto him. Thou shalt 
never wash my feet. Jesus answered 
him, 'If I wash thee not, thou hast 
no part with me. 

9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, 
not my feet only, but also my hands 
and my head. 

10 Jesus saith to him. He that is 
washed needeth not save to wash his 
feet, but is clean ever)' whit : and 
^ye are clean, but not all. 

11 For 'he knew who should be- 
tray him : therefore said he, Ye are 
not all clean.

He pointeth out the traitor. 

12 So after he had washed their feet, 
and had taken his garments, and was 
set down again, he said unto them, 
ICnow ye what I have done to you ? 

13 ™Ye call me Master, and Lord : 
and ye say well ; for so I am. 

14 "If I then, your Lord and Mas- 
ter, have washed your feet ; oye also 
ought to wash one another's feet. 

15 For pI have given you an exam- 
ple, that ye should do as I have done 
to you. 

16 1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
The sei-vant is not greater than his 
lord ; neither he that is sent greater 
than he that sent him. 

17 'If ye know these things, happy 
are ye if yc do them. 

1 8 TI I speak not of you all ; I know 
whom I have chosen ; but that the 
scripture may be fulfilled, ^ He that 
eateth bread with me, hath lifted up 
his heel against me. 

19 'II Now I tell you before it come, 
that when it is come to pass, ye may 
believe that I am he. 

20 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
He that receiveth whomsoever I send, 
receiveth me ; and he that receiveth 
me, receiveth liim that .sent me. 

21 -^ When Jesus had thus said, yhe 
was troubled in spirit, and testified, 
and said, Verily, verily, I say unto 
you, that 'one of you shall betray me. 

22 Then the disciples looked one 
on another, doubting of whom he 
spake. 

23 Now ii there was leaning on Je- 
sus' bosom, one of his disciples, whom 
Jesus loved. 

24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned 
to him, tiiat he should ask who it 
should be of whom he spake. 

25 He then, lying on Jesus' breast, 
saith unto him. Lord, who is it ? 

2G Jesus answered, He it is to 
whom I shall give a || sop, when I 
have dipped it. And whe-n he had 
dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas 
Iscariot the son of Simon. 

27 ''And after the sop Satan en- 
tered into him. Then said Jesus un- 
to him. That thou doest, do quickly. 

28 Now no man at the table knew 
for what intent he spake this unto 
him. 

29 For some of them thought, be- 
cause «= Judas had the bag, that Jesus 

1049 



Christ comforteth his disciples, 

had said unto him, Buy those things 
that we have need of against the 
feast ; or, that he should give some- 
thing to the poor. 

30 He then, having received the 
sop, went immediately out : and it 
was night, 

3 1 "tl Therefore, when he was gone 
out, Jesus said, "^Now is the Son of 
man glorified, and "^God is glorified 
in him. 

32 f If God be glorified in him, God 
shall also glorify him in himself, and 
? shall straightway glorify him. 

33 Little children, yet a little while 
I am with you. Ye shall seek me ; 
''and, as I said unto the Jews, Whi- 
ther I go, ye cannot come, so now I 
say to you. 

34 'A new commandment I give 
unto you. That ye love one another ; 
as I have loved you, that ye also love 
one another. 

35 ''By this shall all men know that 
ye are my disciples, if ye have love 
one to another. 

36 •II Simon Peter said unto him. 
Lord, whither goest thou ? Jesus an- 
swered him, Whither I go, thou canst 
not follow me now ; but 'thou shalt 
follow me afterward. 

37 Peter said unto him. Lord, why 
cannot I follow thee now ? I will 
"ilay down my life for thy sake. 

38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou 
lay down thy life for my sake ? Veri 
ly, verily, I say unto thee, The cock 
shall not crow, till thou hast denied 
me thrice. 

CHAP. XIV. 

1 Christ comforteth his disciples with the hope of 
heaven : 6 professeth himself the icay, the truth, 
and the life, and one with the Father : 13 assur- 
eth their prayers in his name to he effectual : 15 
requesteth love and obedience, 16 promiseth the 
Holy Ghost the Comforter, 27 and leaveth his 
peace with them. 

LET ''^not your heart be troubled : 
ye believe in God, believe also 
in me. 

2 In my Father's house are many 
mansions : if it were not so, I would 
have told you. ''I go to prepare a 
place for you. 

3 And if I go and prepare a place 
for you, ''I will come again and re 
ceive you unto myself; that '^ where 
I am, there ye may be also. 

4 And whither I go ye know, and 
the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him. Lord, we 
know not whither thou goest ; and 
how can we know the way ?

f^no man cometh unto the Father,

7 "If ye had known me, ye should 
have known my Father also : and

hast thou not known me, Philip ? 
'^he that hath seen me, hath seen the

Shew us the Father 1

He that believeth on me, the works 
that I do shall he do also ; and great- 
er works than these shall he do ; be- 
cause I go unto my Father. 

13 P And whatsoever ye shall ask in 
my name, that will I do, that the Fa- 
ther may be glorified in the Son. 

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my 
name, I will do it. 

15 H 1 1f ye love me, keep my com-

Christ comforteth his disciples 

cause ye are not of the world, but I 
have chosen you out of the world, 
therefore the world hateth you, 

20 Remember the word that I said 
unto you, y The servant is not greater 
than his lord. If they have perse- 
cuted me, they will also persecute 
you: 2 if they have kept my saying, 
they will keep yours also. 

21 But ^all these things will they 
do unto you for my name's sake, be 
cause they know not him that sent 
me, 

22 '^ If I had not come and spoken 
unto them, they had not had sin: 
c but now they have no || cloak for 
their sin. 

23 '^He that hateth me, hateth my 
Father also. 

24 If I had not done among them 
^ the works which none other man 
did, they had not had sin: but now 
have they both seen, and hated both 
me and my Father. 

25 But this Cometh to pass, that the 
word might be fulfilled that is written 
in their law, ^They hated me without 
a cause. 

26 sBut when the Comforter is 
come, whom I will send unto you 
from the Father, even the Spirit of 
truth, which proceedeth from the 
Father, ^he shall testify of me. 

27 And 'ye also shall bear witness, 
because ''ye have been with me from 
the beginning.

hy a promise of the Holy Ghost, and 

that sent me, and none of you ask- 
eth me, Whither goest thou? 

6 But because I have said these 
things unto you, ^ sorrow hath filled 
your heart. 

7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: 
It is expedient for you that I go away: 
for if I go not away, "the Comforter 
will not come unto you ; but ''if I 
depart, I will send him unto you, 

8 And when he is come, he will 
II reprove the world of sin, and of 
righteousness, and of judgment: 

9 ' Of sin, because they believe not 
on me ; 

10 ™0f righteousness, "because I 
go to my Father, and ye see me no 
more : 

11 °0f judgment, because Pthe 
prince of this world is judged. 

12 1 have yet many things to say 
unto you, qbut ye cannot bear them 
now. 

13 Howbeit, when he, ""the Spirit 
of truth is come, ^ he will guide you 
into all truth : for he shall not speak 
of himself; but whatsoever he shall 
hear, that shall he speak : and he 
will shew you things to come. 

14 He shall glorify me : for he shall 
receive of mine, and shall shew it 
unto you. 

15 'All things that the Father hath 
are mine : therefore said I, that he 
shall take of mine, and shall shew 
it unto you. 

16 "A little while, and ye shall not 
see me : and again, a little while, and 
ye shall see me, ^ because I go to the 
Father. 

17 Then said some of his disciples 
among themselves. What is this that 
he saith unto us, A little while, and 
ye shall not see me : and again, a lit- 
tle while, and ye shall see me : and, 
Because I go to the Father ? 

18 They said therefore. What is this 
that he saith, A little while ? we can- 
not tell what he saith. 

19 Now Jesus knew that they were 
desirous to ask him, and said unto 
them. Do ye inquire among your- 
selves of that I said, A little while, 
and ye shall not see me : and again, 
a litde while, and ye shall see me ? 

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
that ye shall weep and lament, but 
the world shall rejoice : and ye shall 

1052 



intwiateth his death, resurrection, SfC. 

be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall 
be turned into joy. 

21 ^A woman when she is in tra- 
vail hath sorrow, because her hour is 
come : but as soon as she is deliver- 
ed of the child, she remembereth no 
more the anguish, for joy that a man 
is bom into the world. 

22 yAnd ye now therefore have sor- 
row : but I will see you again, and 
2 your heart shall rejoice, and your 
joy no man taketh from you. 

23 And in that day ye shall ask me 
nothing, ^.ygj-iiy^ verily, I say unto 
you. Whatsoever ye shall ask the Fa- 
ther in my name, he will give it you. 

24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing 
in my name : ask, and ye shall re- 
ceive, ''that your joy may be full. 

25 These things have 1 spoken un- 
to you in || proverbs: but the time 
cometh when I shall no more speak 
unto you in || proverbs, but I shall 
shew you plainly of the Father. 

26 <=At that day ye shall ask in my 
name : and I say not unto you, that 
1 will pray the Father for you : 

27 <^ For the Father himself loveth 
you, because ye have loved me, and 
«!iave believed that I came out from 
God. 

28 ''I came forth from the Father, 
and am come into the world: again, I 
leave the world, and go to the Father. 

29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, 
now speakest thou plainly, and speak- 
est no II proverb. 

30 Now are we sure that ethou 
knowest all things, and nccdest not 
that any man should ask thee : by 
this tiwe believe that thou camest 
forth from God. 

31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now 
believe ? 

32 'Behold, the hour cometh, yea, 
is now come, that ye shall be scatter 
ed ''ever)' man to || his own, and shall 
leave me alone: and 'yet I am not 
alone, because the Father is with me 

33 These things I have spoken un- 
to you, that '"in me yc might have 
peace. " In the world ye shall have 
tribulation, "but be of good cheer: 
pI have overcome the world.

THESE words spake Jesus, and 
lifted up his eyes to heaven, and 
said, Father, =ithe hour is come ; glo- 
rify thy Son, that thy Son also may 
glorify thee : 

2 ''As thou hast given him power 
over all flesh, that he should give 
eternal life to as many ^as thou hast 
given him. 

3 And ''this is life eternal, that they 
might know thee ^the only true God, 
and Jesus Christ '"whom thou hast 
sent. 

4 &1 have glorified thee on the earth: 
H have finished the work 'which thou 
gavest me to do. 

5 And now, O Father, glorify thou 
me with thine own self, withthe glory 
i^ which I had with thee before the 
world was. 

6 ' I have manifested thy name un- 
to the men "'which thou gavest me 
out of the world : thine they were, 
and thou gavest them me ; and they 
have kept thy word. 

7 Now they have known that all 
things whatsoever thou hast given 
me are of thee : 

8 For I have given unto them the 
words "which thou gavest me ; and 
they have received them, "and have 
known surely that I came out Iroiii 
thee, and theyhave believed that thou 
didst send me. 

9 I pray (or them : pI pray not for 
the world, but for them which thou 
hast given me ; for they are thine, 

10 And all mine are thine, and 
T thine are mine; and I am glorified 
in them. 

11 ""And now I am no more in the 
world, but these are in the world, and 
I come to thee. Holy Father, ^keep 
through thine own name those whom 
thou hast given me, Uhat they may 
be one, "as we are. 

12 While I was with them in the 
world, "I kept them in thy name : 
those that thou gavest me I have kept,

son of perdition ; ''that the scripture 
might be fulfilled.

cause they are notof the world, ^ even 
as I am not of the world. 

15 1 pray not that thou shouldest 
take them out of the world, but ^that 
thou shouldest keep them from the

but for them also which shall believe 
on me through their word : 

21 iThat they all may be one ; as 
"'thou. Father, art in me, and I in 
thee, that they also may be one in 
us : that the world may believe that 
thou hast sent me.

me, I have given them ; "^that they 
may be one, even as we are one ;

Judas betrayeth his Master. 
him, knew the place : cfor Jesus oft- 
times resorted thither with his disci- 
ples. 

3 ^ Judas then, having received a 
band of men and officers from the 
chief priests and Pharisees, cometh 
thither with lanterns, and torches, 
and weapons. 

4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things 
that should come upon him, went 
forth, and said unto them. Whom 
seek ye ? 

5 They answered him, Jesus of Na- 
zareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am 
he. And Judas also, which betrayed 
him, stood with them, 

6 As soon then as he had said unto 
them, I am he, they went backward, 
and fell to the ground. 

7 Then asked he them again. Whom 
seek ye ? And they said, Jesus of Na- 
zareth. 

8 Jesus answered, I have told you 
that I am he. If therefore ye seek 
me, let these go their way : 

9 That the saying might be fulfil- 
led which he spake, e Of them which 
thou gavest me, have I lost none. 

10 fThen Simon Peter, having a 
sword, drew it, and smote the high 
priest's servant, and cut off his right 
ear. The servant's name was Mal- 
chus. 

1 1 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put 
up thy sword into the sheath : &the 
cup which my Father hath given me, 
shall I not drink it ? 

12 Then the band, and the captain, 
and officers of the Jews took Jesus, 
and bound him, 

13 And Hed him away to 'Annas 
first, (for he was father-in-law to Cai- 
aphas, which was the high priest 
that same year.)|| 

14 i^Now Caiaphas was he which 
gave counsel to the Jews, that it was 
expedient that one man should die 
for the people. 

15 TI'And Simon Peter followed 
Jesus, and so did another disciple. 
That disciple was known unto the 
high priest, and went in with Jesus, 
into the palace of the high priest. 

16 ""But Peter stood at the door 
without. Then went out that other 
disciple which was known unto the 
high priest, and spake unto her that 
kept the door, and brought in Peter. 

1054 



Christ is brought before Pilate, 

17 Then saith the damsel that kept 
the door unto Peter, Art not thou 
also one of this man's disciples? He 
saith, I am not. 

18 And the servants and officers 
stood there, who had made a fire of 
coals; (for it was cold) and they 
warmed tliemselves : and Peter stood 
with them, and warmed himself. 

19 Tl The high priest then asked 
Jesus of his disciples, and of his 
doctrine. 

20 Jesus answered him, "I spake 
openly to the world ; I ever taught 
in the synagogue, and in the temple, 
whither the Jews alwa\ s resort; and 
in secret have I said nothing. 

21 Why askest tiiou me '! ask them 
which heard me, what I have said 
unto them : behold, they know what 
I said. 

22 And when he had tlius spoken, 
one of the officers which stood by, 
"struck Jesus || with the palm of his 
hand, saying, Answcrest thou the 
high priest so? 

23 Jesus answered him, If I have 
spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: 
but if well, why smitcst thou me? 

24 (P Now Annas had sent him bound 
unto Caiaphas the high priest.) 

25 And Simon Peter stood and 
warmed himself. aThey said there- 
fore unto him, Art not thou also one 
of his disciples ( lie denied it, and 
said, I am not. 

2(3 One of the servants of the high 
priest (being his kinsman whose ear 
Peter cut otV) saith, Did not I see 
thee in the garden with him ? 

27 Peter then denied again: and 
f immediately the cock crew. 

28 ^8 Then led they Jesus from 
Caiaphas unto 1| the hall of judgment : 
and it was early; 'and they them- 
selves went not into the judgment- 
hall, lest they should be defiled ; but 
that they might eat the passover. 

29 Pilate then went out unto them, 
and said, What accusation bring ye 
against this man? 

30 They answered and said unto 
him, If he were not a malefactor, 
we would not have delivered him 
up unto thee. 

31 Then said Pilate unto them. 
Take y ; him, and judge him accord- 
ing to your law. The Jews therefore

scourged, and mocked 
said unto him. It is not lawful for us 
to put any man to death: 

32 "That the saying of Jesus might 
be fulfilled, which he spake, signify- 
ing what death he should die. 

33 ^Then Pilate entered into the 
judgment-hall again, and called Je- 
sus, and said unto him. Art thou the 
King of the Jews ? 

34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou 
this thing of thyself, or did others 
tell it thee of me? 

35 Pilate answered. Am I a Jew? 
Thine own nation, and the chief 
priests, have delivered thee unto me. 
What hast thou done? 

36 >■ Jesus answered, ^My kingdom 
is not of this world: if my kingdom 
were of this world, then would my 
servants fight, that I should not be 
delivered to the Jews: but now is 
my kingdom not from hence. 

37 Pilate therefore said unto him, 
Art thou a king then? Jesus answer- 
ed. Thou sayest that I am a king. 
To this end was I born, and for this 
cause came I into the world, that I 
should bear witness unto the ti-uth. 
Every one that ^^is of the truth, hear- 
eth my voice. 

38 Pilate saith unto him, What is 
truth? And when he had said tliis, 
he went out again unto the Jews, 
and saith unto them, "^I find in him 
no fault at all. 

39 <= But ye have a custom that I 
should release unto you one at the 
passover: will ye therefore, that I re- 
lease unto you the King of the Jews ? 

40 iiThen cried they all again, say- 
ing. Not this man, but Barabbas, 
^Now Barabbas was a robber. 

CHAP. XIX. 

1 Christ is scourged, croicned trilk thorns, and 
beaten. 4 Pilate is desirous to release him, but 
bein<^ overcome icitli tlie outrage of the Jcirs, he 
delivered him to be crucified. 23 J^hey cast lots 
for his garments. 'X lie conimcndctli, his mo- 
ther to John. 28 He dieth. 31 Ilis side is 
pierced. 33 He is buried by Joseph and JVico- 
demus. 

THEN a Pilate therefore took Je- 
sus, and scourged hiyn. 

2 And the soldiers platted a crown 
of thorns, and put it on his head, and 
they put on him a purple robe, 

3 And said. Hail, King of the Jews ! 
and they smote him with their hands. 

4 Pilate therefore went forth again, 
and saith unto them. Behold, I bring 

1055 



Christ is condemned, • 

him forth to you, ^ that ye may know 
that I find no fault in him. 

5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing 
the crown of thorns, and the purple 
robe. And Pilate saith unto them, 
Behold the man ! 

6 i^When the chief priests therefore 
and officers saw him, they cried out, 
saying. Crucify //m, crucify Idm. Pi- 
late saith unto them. Take ye him, 
and crucify Jdm: for 1 find no fault 
in him. 

7 The Jews answered him, ^We 
have a law, and by our law he ought 
to die, because ^he made himself the 
Son of God. 

8 II When Pilate therefore heard 
that saying, he was the more afraid ; 

9 And went again into the judg- 
ment-hall, and saith unto Jesus, 
Whence art thou? ^But Jesus gave 
him no answer. 

10 Then saith Pilate unto him, 
Speakest thou not unto me ? know- 
est thou not, that I have power to 
crucify thee, and have power to re- 
lease thee? 

11 Jesus answered, 8^ Thou couldest 
have no power at all against me, ex- 
cept it were given thee from above: 
therefore he that delivered me unto 
thee hath the greater sin. 

12 And from thenceforth Pilate 
sought to release him : but the Jews 
cried out, saying, ''If thou let this 
man go, thou art not Cesar's friend. 
'Whosoever maketh himself a king, 
speaketh against Cesar. 

13 H When Pilate therefore heard 
tliat saying, he brought Jesus forth, 
and sat down in the judgment-seat, in 
a place that is called the Pavement, 
but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha, 

14 And kit was the preparation of 
the passover, and about the sixth 
hour: and he saith unto the Jews, 
Behold your King ! 

15 But they cried out. Away with 
liim, away with him, crucify him. Pi- 
late saith unto them, Shall I crucify 
your King ? The chief priests an- 
swered, 'We have no king but Ce- 
sar. 

16 "'-Then delivered he him there- 
fore unto them to be crucified. And 
they took Jesus, and led hivi away. 

17 " And he bearing his cross °went 
forth into a place called the place of

and crucified. 

a skull, which is called in the He- 
brew, Golgotha. 

18 Where they crucified him, and 
two others with him, on either side 
one, and Jesus in the midst. 

19 II P And Pilate wrote a title, and 
put it on the cross. And the writ- 
ing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH, 
THE KING OF THE JEWS. 

20 This title then read many of the 
Jews : for the place where Jesus was 
crucified was nigh to the city: and 
it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, 
and Latin. 

21 Then said the chief priests of 
the Jews to Pilate, Write not. The 
King of the Jews; but that he said, 

1 am King of the Jews. 

22 Pilate answered, What I have 
written, I have written. 

23 ^ q Then the soldiers, when they 
had crucified Jesus, took his garments, 
and made four parts, to every soldier 
a part ; and also his coat : now the 
coat was without seam, || woven from 
the top throughout. 

24 They said therefore amongthem- 
selves. Let us not rend it, but cast 
lots for it whose it shall be : that the 
scripture might be fulfilled, which 
saith, 'They parted my raiment a- 
mong them, and for my vesture they 
did cast lots. These things therefore 
the soldiers did, 

25 "^ ^Now there stood by the cross 
of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's 
sister, Mary the wife of || tCleophas, 
and Mary Magdalene. 

26 When Jesus therefore saw his 
mother, and "the disciple standing 
by whom he loved, he saith unto his 
mother, "^ Woman, behold thy son ! 

27 Then saith he to the disciple, 
Behold thy mother ! And from that 
hour that disciple took her ymito his 
own home. 

28 ^ After this, Jesus knowing that 
all things were now accomplished, 

2 that the scripture might be fulfilled, 
saith, I thirst. 

29 Now there was set a vessel full 
of vinegar: and ''they filled a sponge 
with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, 
and put it to his mouth. 

30 When Jesus therefore had re- 
ceived the vinegar, he said, ''It is 
finished : and he bowed his head, and 
gave up the ghost. 

1050 



His burial, 

31 The Jews therefore, ^because it 
was the preparation, ^ that the bodies 
should not remain upon the cross on 
the sabbath-day, (for that sabbath- 
day was a high day) besought Pilate 
that their legs might be broken, and 
that they might be taken away. 

32 Then came the soldiers, and 
brake the legs of the first, and of the 
other which was crucified with him. 

33 But when they came to Jesus, 
and saw that he was dead already, 
they brake not his legs : 

34 But one of the soldiers with a 
spear pierced his side, and forthwith 
* came thereout blood and water. 

35 And he that saw it, bare record, 
and his record is true : and he know- 
eth that he saith true, that ye might 
believe. 

36 For these things were done, 
•"that the scripture should be fulfil- 
led, A bone of him shall not be broken. 

37 And again another scripture 
saith, eThey shall look on him whom 
they pierced. 

38 H ^And after this, Joseph of Ari- 
mathea (being a disciple of Jesus, 
but secretly 'for fear of the Jews) 
besought Pilate that he might take 
away the body of Jesus : and Pilate 
gave him leave. He came tlierefore 
and took the body of Jesus. 

39 And there came also "^Nicode- 
mus (which at the first came to Jesus 
by night) smd brought a mixture of 
myrrh and aloes, about a hundred 
pounds weight. 

40 Then took they the body of Je- 
sus, and 'wound it in hnen clothes 
with the spices, as the manner of the 
Jews is to bur)'. 

41 Now in the place where he was 
crucified, there was a garden ; and in 
the garden a new sepulchre, wherein 
was never man yet laid. 

42 ■" There laid they Jesus there- 
fore, "because of the Jews' prepara- 
imn-day ; for the sepulchre was nigh 
at hand.

and seeth the stone taken away from 
the sepulchre. 

2 Then she runneth, and cometh to 
Simon Peter, and to the ^ other dis- 
ciple whom Jesus loved, and saith 
unto them, They have taken away the 
Lord out of the sepulchre, and we 
know not where they have laid him. 

3 <= Peter therefore went forth, and 
that other disciple, and came to the 
sepulchre. 

4 So they ran both together : and 
the other disciple did outrun Peter, 
and came first to the sepulchre. 

5 And he stooping down, and look- 
ing in, saw "^the linen clothes lying ; 
yet went he not in. 

6 Then cometh Simon Peter fol- 
lowing him, and went into the se- 
pulchre, and seeth the linen clothes 
lie ; 

7 And f^the napkin that was about 
his head, not lying with the linen 
clothes, but wrapped together in a 
place by itself. 

8 Then went in also that other dis- 
ciple which came first to the sepul- 
chre, and he saw, and believed. 

9 For as yet they knew not the 
^scripture, that he must rise again 
from the dead. 

10 Then the disciples went away 
again unto their own home. 

1 1 TI s But Maiy stood without at 
the sepulchre weeping : and as she 
wept she stooped down and looked 
into the sepulchre, 

12 And seeth two angels in white, 
sitting, the one at the head, and the 
other at the feet, where the body of 
Jesus had lain. 

13 And they say unto her. Woman, 
why weepest thou ? She saith unto 
them, Because they have taken away 
my Lord, and I know not where they 
have laid him. 

14 ^And when she had thus said, 
she turned herself back, and saw Je- 
sus standing, and 'knew not that it 
was Jesus. 

1 5 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, 
why weepest thou? whom seekest 
thou ? She, supposing him to be the 
gardener, saith unto him. Sir, if thou 
have borne him hence, tell me where 
thou hast laid him, and I will take 
him away. 

16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She

Christ appeareth 

turned herself, and saith unto him, 
Rabboni, which is to say. Master. 

17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me 
not : for I am not yet ascended to 
my Father: but go to ''my brethren, 
and say unto them, 'I ascend unto 
my Father and your Father, and to 
™my God and your God. 

18 nJMary Magdalene came and 
told the disciples that she had seen 
the Lord, and that he had spoken 
these things unto her. 

19 1[ oThen the same day at even- 
ing, being the first day of the week, 
when the doors were shut where the 
disciples were assembled for fear of 
the Jews, came Jesus and stood in 
the midst, and saith unto them, 
Peace be unto you. 

20 And when he had so said, he 
shewed unto them his hands and his 
side. P Then were the disciples glad 
when they saw the Lord. 

21 Then said Jesus to them again. 
Peace he unto you : ^i as my Father 
hath sent me, even so send I you. 

22 And when he had said this, he 
breathed on them, and saith unto 
them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost. 

23 '■"Whose soever sins ye remit, 
they are remitted unto them ; and 
whose soever sins ye retain, they are 
retained. 

24 1^ But Thomas, one of the 
twelve, s called Didymus, was not 
with them when Jesus came. 

25 The other disciples therefore 
said unto him. We have seen the 
Lord. But he said unto them. Ex- 
cept I shall see in his hands the 
print of the nails, and put my finger 
into the print of the nails, and thrust 
my hand into his side, I will not be- 
lieve. 

26 1i And after eight days again his 
disciples were within, and Thomas 
with them : then came Jesus, the 
doors being shut, and stood in the 
midst, and said. Peace he unto you. 

27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach 
hither thy finger, and behold my 
hands ; and * reach hither thy hand, 
and thrust it into my side ; and be 
not faithless, but believing. 

28 And Thomas answered and said 
unto him. My Lord and my God.

I Christ appearing- again to his didciples was 
known of them by the great draught of fishes. 
12 He dineth Kith them : 15 earnestly com- 
mandeth Peter to feed his lambs and sheep : 18 
foreteUeth him of his death : 22 rebuketh his 
curiosity touching John. 25 The conclusion. 

AFTER these things Jesus shew- 
ed himself again to the disciples 
at the sea of Tiberias: and on this 
wise shewed he himself. 

2 There were together Simon Pe- 
ter, and Thomas called Didymus, 
and aNathanael of Cana in Galilee, 
and lithe sons of Zebedee, and two 
other of his disciples. 

3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I 
go a fishing. They say unto him. 
We also go with thee. They went 
forth, and entered into a ship imme- 
diately ; and that night they caught 
nothing. 

4 But when the morning was now 
come, Jesus stood on the shore ; but 
the disciples ^knew not that it was 
Jesus. 

5 Then "^ Jesus saith unto them, 

II Children, have ye any meat? They 
answered him, No. 

6 And he said unto them, ^Cast the 
net on the right side of the ship, and 
ye shall find. They cast therefore, 
and now they were not able to draw 
it for the multitude of fishes. 

7 Therefore fthat disciple whom 
Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the 
Lord. Nowwhen Simon Peter heard 
that it was the Lord, he girt his fish- 
er's coat unto him, (for he was naked) 
and did cast himself into the sea. 

8 And the other disciples came in 
a little ship (for they were not far 
from land, but as it were two hun- 
dred cubits) dragging the net with 
fishes. 

9 As soon then as they were come 
to land, they saw a fire of coals there, 
and fish laid thereon, and bread. 

10 Jesus saith unto them. Bring of 
the fish which ye have now caught. 

1058 



His repeated charge to Peter. 

1 1 Simon Peter went up, and drew 
the net to land full of great fishes, 
a hundred and fifty and three : and | 
for all there were so many, yet was ' 
not the net broken. I 

12 Jesus saith unto them, eCome 
and dine. And none of the disciples! 
durst ask him, Who art thou? know- 
ing that it was the Lord. 

13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh 
bread, and giveth them, and fish like- 
wise. 

14 This is now lithe third time that 
Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, 
after that he was risen from the dead. 

15 H So when they had dined, Je- 
sus saith to Simon Peter, Simon son 
of Jonas, lovest thou me more than 
these? He saith unto him. Yea, Lord: 
thou knowest that I love thee. He 
saith unto him. Feed my lambs. 

16 He saith to him again the second 
time, Simon son of Jonas, lovest 
thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, 
Lord : thou knowest that I love thee. 
' He saith unto him. Feed my sheep. 

17 He saith unto him the third time, 
Simon son of Jonas, lovest thou me? 
Peter was grieved because he said 
unto him the third time, Lovest thou 
me ? And he said unto him. Lord, 
^thou knowest all things; thou know- 
est that I love thee. Jesus saith unto 
him, Feed my sheep. 

18 'Verily, verily, I say unto thee. 
When thou wast young, thou gird-

He foretelleth him of his death. 

edst thyself, and walkedst whither 
thou wouldest: but when thou shalt 
be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy 
hands, and another shall gird thee, 
and carry thee whither thou wouldest 
not. 

19 This spake he, signifying ™by 
what death he should glorify God. 
And when he had spoken this, he 
saith unto him. Follow me. 

20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth 
the disciple °whom Jesus loved, fol- 
lowing ; (which also leaned on his 
breast at supper, and said, Lord, 
which is he that betrayeth thee ?) 

21 Peter seeing him, saith to Jesus, 
Lord, and what shall this man do? 

22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will 
that he tarry '■till I come, what is 
that to thee ? Follow thou me. 

23 Then went this saying abroad 
among the brethren, that that disci- 
ple should not die: yet Jesus said not 
unto him, He shall not die ; but. If 
I will that he tarr}' till I come, what 
is that to thee ? 

24 This is the disciple which testi- 
fieth of these things, and wrote these 
things: and Pwe know that his testi- 
mony is true. 

25 1 And there are also many other 
things which Jesus did, the which, 
if they should be written every one, 
■■I suppose that even the world itself 
could not contain the books that 
should be written. Amen.

1 Christ, preparing h i.i apostles to the heholdina: of 
his ascension, gathereth them together into tlte 
mount Olivet, commniidelh them to expect in 
Jerusalem the sending down of the Holy Ghost, 
promiselh nfttr feir days to send it : by rirtiie 
whereof they should be witnesses untohiin,eren 
to the utmost parts of the earth. 9 jtfter his 
ascension they are warned by two angels to 
depart, and to set their minds upon his second 
earning. 12 They accordingly return, and, 
giving themselrcs to prayer, choose IHatlhias 
apostle in the place of Judas.

pertaining to the kingdom of God : 

4 ^And II being assembled toge- 
ther with them, commanded them 
that they should not depart from Je-

the Father, 'which, saith he, ye have 
heard of me.

store again the kingdom to Israel ? 

7 And he said unto them, ' It is not

his own power. 

8 I" But ye shall receive || power

upon you : and °ye shall be witnesses 
unto me, both in Jerusalem, and in 
all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto 
the uttermost part of the earth. 

9 P And when he had spoken these 
things, while they beheld, i he was 
taken up; and a cloud received him 
out of their sight. ' 

1 And while they looked steadfast- 
ly toward heaven as he went up, be- 
hold, two men stood by them ""in 
white apparel; 

11 Which also said, ^Ye men of 
Gahlee, why stand ye gazing up 
into heaven? this same Jesus which 
is taken up from you into heaven, 
* shall so come in like manner as ye 
have seen him go into heaven, 

12 "Then returned they unto Je- 
rusalem, from the mount called Oli- 
vet, which is from Jerusalem a sab- 
bath-day's journey. 

13 And when they were come in, 
they went up ^into an upper room, 
where abode both y Peter, and James, 
and John, and Andrew, Philip, and 
Thomas,Bartholomew,and Matthew, 
James the son of Alpheus, and ^ Si- 
mon Zelotes, and ^^ Judas the brother 
of James. 

14 ''These all continued with one 
accord in prayer and supplication, 
with ''the women, and Mary the 
mother of Jesus^ and with ^^his bre- 
thren. 

15 H And in those days Peter stood 
up in the midst of the disciples, and 
said, (the number ^of the names to- 
gether were about a hundred and 
twenty,) 

16 Men and brethren, this scrip- 
ture must needs have been fulfilled, 
fwhich the Holy Ghost by the mouth 
of David spake before concerning 
Judas, s which was guide to them 
that took Jesus. 

17 For •> he was numbered with us, 
and had obtained part of 'this min- 
istry. 

18 "^Now this man purchased a field 
with 'the reward of iniquity ; and fall- 
ing headlong, he burst asunder in the 
midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

Matthias is chosen hy hi, 

19 And it was known unto all the 
dwellers at Jerusalem ; insomuch as 
that field is called in their proper 
tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, 
The field of blood.

Psalms, ™Let his habitation be deso- 
late, and let no man dwell therein: 
and, "His llbishoprick let another take.

have companied with us, all the time 
that the Lord Jesus went in and out 
among us, 

22 ° Beginning from the baptism of 
John, unto that same day that P he 
was taken up from us, must one be 
ordained i to be a witness with us of 
his resurrection. 

23 And they appointed two, Joseph 
callfed "'Barsabas, who was surnamed 
Justus, and Matthias. 

24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, 
Lord, s which knowest the hearts of 
all men, shew whether of these two 
thou hast chosen, 

25 tThat he may take part of this 
ministry and apostleship, from which 
Judas by transgression fell, that he 
might go to his own place. 

26 And they gave forth their lots ; 
and the lot fell upon Matthias ; and 
he was numbered with the eleven 
apostles. 

CHAP. H. 

I TTie apostles, filled with the Holy Ghost, and 
speaking divers languages, are adTnired hy 
some, and derided by others. 14 Whom Peter 
disproving, and shewing that the apostles spake 
by the power of the Holy Ghost, that Jesus was 
risen from the dead, ascended into heaven, had 
poured down the same Holy Ghost, and was the 
Messias, a man known to them to be approved 
of God by his miracles, wonders, and signs, 
and not crucified without his determinate coun- 
sel and foreknowledge : 37 he baptizeth a great 
number that were converted. 41 Who after- 
wards devoutly and charitably converse to- 
gether : the apostles working many miracles, 
and God daily increasing his church. 

AND when ^ the day of Pentecost 
was fully come, •'they were all 
with one accord in one place. 

2 And suddenly there came a sound 
from heaven, as of a rushing mighty 
wind, and ^it filled all the house 
where they were sitting. 

3 And there appeared unto them 
cloven tongties like as of fire, and it 
sat upon each of them.

The descent of the Holy Ghost. 

5 And there were dwelling at Jeru- 
salem Jews, devout men, out of every 
nation under heaven. 

6 Now f when this was noised 
abroad, the multitude came together, 
and were || confounded, because that 
every man heard them speak in his 
own language. 

7 And they were all amazed, and 
marvelled, saying one to another, 
Behold, are not all these which speak, 
•Gahleans? 

8 And how hear we every man in 
our own tongue, wherein we were 
bom ? 

9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elam- 
ites, and the dwellers in Mesopota- 
mia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia, 
in Pontus, and Asia, 

10 Phrj^gia, and Pamphylia, in E 
g}'pt,and in the parts of Libya about 
Cyrene,and strangers of Rome, Jews 
and proselytes, 

1 1 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear 
them speak in our tongues the won- 
derful works of God. 

12 And they were all amazed, and 
were in doubt, saying one to another. 
What meaneth this? 

13 Others mocking, said,These men 
are full of new wine. 

14 TIBut Peter, standing up with 
the eleven, lifted up his voice, and 
said unto them, Ye men of Judea, 
and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, 
be this known unto you, and hearken 
to my words : 

15 For these are not drunken, as ye 
suppose, e seeing it is hut the third 
hour of the day. 

IG But this is that which was spo- 
ken by the prophet Joel, 

17 hAnd it shall come to pass in 
the last days, saith God, ' I will pour 
out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and 
your sons and ''your daughters shall 
prophesy, and your young men shall 
see visions, and your old men shall 
dream dreams: 

18 And on my servants, and on 
my hand-maidens, I will pour out in 
those days of my Spirit ; ' and they 
shall prophesy :

beneath ; blood, and fire, and vapour 
of smoke.

darkness, and the moon into blood, 
before that great and notable day of 
the Lord come. 

21 And it shall come to pass, that 
° whosoever shall call on the name 
of the Lord, shall be saved. 

22 Ye men of Israel, hear these 
words ; Jesus of Nazareth, a man 
approved of God among you Pby mi- 
racles, and wonders, and signs, which 
God did by him in the midst of you, 
as ye yourselves also know : 

23 Him, q being delivered by the 
determinate counsel and foreknow- 
ledge of God, r ye have taken, and 
by wicked hands have cnicified and 
slain : 

24 sy^Hiom God hath raised up, 
having loosed the pains of death : 
because it was not possible that he 
should be holden of it. 

25 For David speaketh concerning 
him, tj foresaw the Lord always be- 
fore my face ; for he is on my right 
hand, that I should not be moved : 

26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, 
and my tongue was glad; moreover 
also, my flesh shall rest in hope : 

27 Because thou wilt not leave my 
soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer 
thy Holy One to see corruption. 

28 Thou hast made known to me 
the ways of life ; thou shalt make 
me full of joy with thy countenance. 

29 Men and brethren, || let me freely 
speak unto you "of the patriarch Da- 
vid, that he is both dead and buried, 
and his sepulchre is with us unto 
this da>'., 

30 Therefore being a prophet, ''and 
knowing that God had sworn with 
an oath to him, that of the fruit of 
his loins, according to the flesh, he 
would raise up Christ to sit on his 
throne ; 

31 He seeing this before, spake of 
the resurrection of Christ, ythat his 
soul was not left in hell, neither his 
flesh did see corruption. 

32 ^This Jesus hath God raised 
up, '^ whereof we all are witnesses. 

33 Therefore ''being by the right 
hand of God exalted, and ^having re- 
ceived of the Father the promise of 
the Holy Ghost, he ^ hath shed forth 
this, which ye now see and hear. 

34 For David is not ascended into 
the heavens, but he saith himself,

Many are converted by Peter's sermon. 

<= The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit 
thou on my right hand, 

35 Until I make thy foes thy foot- 
stool. 

36 Therefore let all the house of Is- 
rael know assuredly, that God ^hath 
made that same Jesus whom ye have 
crucified, both Lord and Christ. 

37 II Now when they heard this, 
8 theywere pricked in their heart, and 
said unto Peter and to the rest of the 
apostles, Men and brethren, what 
shall we do? 

38 Then Peter said unto them, "^ Re- 
pent, and be baptized every one of 
you in the name of Jesus Christ, for 
the remission of sins, and ye shall 
I'eceive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 

39 For the promise is unto you, 
and Uo your children, and ^to all 
that are afar off, even as many as the 
Lord our God shall call. 

40 And with many other words did 
he testify and exhort, saying. Save 
yourselves from this untoward gene- 
ration. 

41^ Then they that gladly received 
his word, were baptized: and the 
same day there were added unto 
them about three thousand souls. 

42 'And they continued steadfastly 
in the apostles' doctrine and fellow- 
ship, and in breaking of bread, and 
in prayers. 

43 And fear came upon every soul : 
and ™ many wonders and signs were 
done by the apostles. 

44 And all that believed were toge- 
ther, and "had all things common ; 

45 And sold their possessions and 
goods, and ° parted them to all men, 
as every man had need. 

46 P And they, continuing daily with 
one accord lin the temple, and 
^ breaking bread 1| from house to 
house, did eat their meat with glad- 
ness and singleness of heart, 

47 Praising God, and » having fa- 
vour with all the people. And * the 
Lord added to the church daily such 
as should be saved.

THE ACTS. The lame man healedhy Peter and John 

nate counsel, and the scriptures : 19 he exhoHeth 
them by repentance and faith to seek remission 
of their sins, and salvation in the same Jesus. 

OW Peter and John went up to- 
gether a- into the temple, at the 
hour of prayer, '' being the ninth hour. 

2 And c a certain man lame from 
his mother's womb was carried, 
whom they laid daily at the gate of 
the temple which is called Beautiful, 
d to ask alms of them that entered 
into the temple ; 

3 Who, seeing Peterand John about 
to go into the temple, asked an alms. 

4 And Peter fastening his eyes up- 
on him with John, said. Look on us. 

5 And he gave heed unto them, 
expecting to receive something of 
them. 

6 Then Peter said. Silver and gold 
have I none ; but such as I have give 
I thee: ^In the name of Jesus Christ 
of Nazareth, rise up and walk. 

7 And he took him by the right 
hand, and lifted him up : and imme- 
diately his feet and ancle-bones re- 
ceived strength. 

8 And he, ^ leaping up, stood, and 
walked, and entered with them into 
the temple, walking, and leaping, and 
praising God. 

9 &And all the people saw him walk- 
ing and praising God : 

10 And they knew that it was he 
which h sat for alms at the Beautiful 
gate of the temple: and they were 
filled with wonder and amazement at 
that which had happened unto him. 

11 And as the lame man which was 
healed held Peter and John, all the 
people ran together unto them in the 
porch ' thatis called Solomon's, great- 
ly wondering. 

12 ^ And when Peter saw it, he 
answered unto the people. Ye men 
of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or 
why look ye so earnestly on us, as 
though by our own power or holi- 
ness we had made this man to walk ? 

13 '^The God of Abraham, and of 
Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our 
fathers ' hath glorified his Son Jesus ; 
whom ye ™ delivered up, and "denied 
him in the presence of Pilate, when 
he was determined to let him go.

Pand the Just, and desired a mur- 
derer to be granted unto you ;

Peter s exhortation. 

iwhom God hath raised from the 
dead; ■■ whereof vre are witnesses. 

16 ^And his name, through faith in 
his name, hath made this man strong, 
whom ye see and know: yea, the 
faith which is by him, hath given him 
this perfect soundness in the presence 
of you all. 

17 And now, brethren, I wot that 
Uhrough ignorance ye did it, as did 
also your rulers. 

18 But "those things which God 
before had shewed ^by the mouth of 
all his prophets, that Christ should 
suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 

19 Ti y Repent ye therefore, and be 
converted, that your sins maybe blot- 
ted out, wlien the times of refreshing 
shall come from the presence of the 
Lord; 

20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, 
which before was preached unto you : 

21 ^Whom the heaven must receive, 
until the times of "restitution of all 
things, ^ which God hath spoken by 
the mouth of all his holy prophets, 
since the world began. 

22 For Moses truly said imto the 
fathers, =A Pi-ophet shall the Lord 
your God raise up unto you, of your 
brethren, like unto me; him shall ye 
hear in all things, whatsoever he shall 
say unto you. 

23 And it shall come to pass, that 
every soul which will not hear that 
Prophet, shall be destroyed from a- 
mong the people. 

24 Yea, and all the prophets from 
Samuel, and those that follow after, 
as many as have spoken, have like- 
wise foretold of these days. 

25 <' Ye arc the children of the pro- 
phets, and of the covenant which God 
made with our fathers, saying unto 
Abraham, "^And in thy seed shall all 
the kindreds of the earth be blessed. 

26 ''Unto you first, God having 
raised up his Son Jesus, e sent him 
to bless you, ''in turning away everj- 
one of you from his iniquities.

The rulers offended at it. 

moving- the place icherc they were assembled, 
testified that he heard their prayer : confirming 
the church with the gift of the Holy Ghost, 
and with mutual love and charity. 

ND as they spake unto the peo- 
. pie, the priests, and the || cap- 
tain of the temple, and the Saddu- 
cees came upon them, 

2 ^Being grieved that they taught 
the people, and preached through Je- 
sus the resurrection from the dead. 

3 And they laid hands on them, and 
put them in hold unto the next day : 
for it was now even-tide. 

4 Howbeit, many of them which 
heard the word, believed; and the 
number of the men was about five 
thousand. 

5 Tf And it came to pass on the mor- 
row, that their rulers, and elders, 
and scribes, 

6 And ''Annas the high priest, and 
Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, 
and as many as were of the kindred 
of the high priest, were gathered to- 
gether at Jerusalem. 

7 And when they had set them in 
the midst, they asked, <= By what pow- 
er, or bv what name have ye done 
this? 

8 dThen Peter, filled with the Holy 
Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of 
the people, and elders of Israel, 

9 If we this day be examined of the 
good deed done to the impotent man, 
by what means he is made whole ; 

10 Be it known unto you all, and to 
all the people of Israel, «that by the 
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, 
whom ye crucified, ^whom God rais- 
ed from the dead, even by him doth 
this man stand here before j-ou whole. 

lie This is the stone which was set 
at naught of you builders, which is 
become the head of the corner. 

12 ''Neither is there salvation in any 
other : for there is none other name 
under heaven given among men, 
whereby we must be saved. 

13 If Now, when they saw the bold- 
ness of Peter and John, ' and per- 
ceived that they were unlearned and 
ignorant men, they marvelled ; and 
they took knowledge of them, that 
they had been with Jesus. 

14 And beholding the man which 
was healed ^ standing with them, they 
could say nothing against it. 

1 .5 But when thev had commanded 
1063

them to go aside out of the council, 
they conferred among themselves, 

16 Saying, ^What shall we do to 
these men? for that indeed a notable 
miracle hath been done by them is 
'"manifest to all them that dwell in 
Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 

17 But that it spread no further 
among the people, let us straitly 
threaten them, that they speak hence- 
forth to no man in this name. 

18 "And they called them, and com- 
manded them not to speak at all, nor 
teach in the name of Jesus. 

19 But Peter and John answered 
and said unto them, "Whether it be 
right in the sight of God to hearken 
unto you more than unto God, judge 

ye- ^ 

20 P For we cannot but speak the 
things which qwe have seen and 
heard. 

21 So,whentheyhad further threat- 
ened them, they let them go, finding 
nothing how they might punish them, 
'"because of the people: for all men 
glorified God for ^that which was 
done. 

22 For the man was above forty 
years old on whom this miracle of 
healing was shewed. 

23 "H And being let go, Uhey went 
to their own company, and reported 
all that the chief priests and elders 
had said unto them. 

24 And when they heard that, they 
lifted up their voice to God with one 
accord, and said. Lord, "thou ari God, 
which hast made heaven, and earth, 
and the sea, and all that in them is ; 

25 Who, by the mouth of thy ser- 
vant David hast said, ^ Why did the 
heathen rage, and the people imagine 
vain things ? 

26 The kings of the earth stood up, 
and the rulers were gathered together 
against the Lord, and against his 
Christ, 

27 For yof a truth against ^thy holy 
child Jesus, ^ whom thou hast anoint- 
ed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, 
with the Gentiles, and the people of 
Israel, were gathered together,

ethe place was shaken where they 
were assembled together; and they 
were all filled with the Holy Ghost, 
i^and they spake the word of God 
with boldness. 

32 And the multitude of them that 
believed 'were of one heart, and of 
one soul: "^neither said any of them 
that aught of the things which he 
possessed was his own ; but they had 
all things common.

was upon them all.

them that lacked: "for as many as 
were possessors of lands or houses 
sold them, and brought the prices of 
the things that were sold, 

35 PAnd laid them down at the 
apostles' feet: land distribution was 
made unto every man according as 
he had need. 

36 And Joses, who by the apostles 
was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, 
being interpreted. The son of conso- 
lation,) a Levite, and of the country 
of Cyprus,

the money, and laid it at the apostles' 
feet.

1 After that Ananias and Sapphira his wife for 
their hypocrisy at Peter'' s rebuke had, fallen 
down dead, 12 and that the rest of the apostles 
had wrought many miracles, 14 to the increase 
of the faith : 17 the apostles are again imprison- 
ed, X^but delivered by an angel bidding them to 
preach openly to all : 21 tohen, after their teach- 
ing accordingly in the temple, 29 and before the 
council, 33 they are in danger to be killed, 
through the advice of Gamaliel, a great coun- 
sellor among the Jews, they be kept alive, 40 
and are but beaten : for which they glorify God, 
and cease no day from preaching. 

BUT a certain man named Ana- 
nias, with Sapphira his wife, 
sold a possession, 

2 And kept back part of the price, 
(his wife also being privy to it,) ^ and 
brought a certain part, and laid it at 
the apostles' feet.

part of the price of the land 1 

4 WTiile it remained, was it not 
thine own ? and after it was sold, 
was it not in thine own power ? why 
hast thou conceived this thing in 
thy heart ? thou hast not lied unto 
men, but unto God. 

5 And Ananias hearing these words, 
''fell down, and gave up the ghost. 
And great fear came on all them 
that heard these things. 

6 And the young men arose, ^ wound 
him up, and carried him out, and 
buried him. 

7 And it was about the space of 
three hours after, when his wife, not 
knowing what was done, came in. 

8 And Peter answered unto her. 
Tell me whether ye sold the land 
for so much ? And she said. Yea, 
for so much. 

9 Then Peter said unto her. How 
is it that ye have agreed together ^to 
tempt the Spirit of the Lord ? be- 
hold the feet of them which have 
buried thy husband are at the door, 
and shall carry thee out. 

10 ^Then fell she down straight- 
way at his feet, and yielded up the 
ghost. And the young men came in, 
and found her dead, and carrying 
her forth, buried her by her husband. 

11 ^And great fear came upon all 
the church, and upon as many as 
heard these things. 

12 TIAnd iby the hands of the 
apostles were many signs and won- 
ders wrought among the people ; 
(■< and they were all with one accord 
in Solomon's porch. 

13 And 'of the rest durst no man 
join himself to them : '"but the peo- 
ple magnified them. 

14 And believers were the more 
added to the Lord, multitudes both 
of men and women ;) 

15 Insomuch that they brought forth 
the sick || into the streets, and laid 
them on beds and couches, "that at 
the least the shadow of Peter passing 
by might overshadow some of them

The apostles imprisoned. 
up, and all they that were with him, 
(which is the sect of the Sadducees,) 
and were filled with || indignation, 

18 qAnd laid their hands on the 
apostles, and put them in the com- 
mon prison. 

19 But nhe angel of the Lord by 
night opened the prison-doors, and 
brought them forth, and said, 

20 Go, stand and speak in the 
temple to the people ^all the words 
of this life. 

21 And when they heard that, they 
entered into tlie temple early in the 
morning, and taught. 'But the high 
priest came, and they that were with 
him, and called the council together, 
and all the senate of the children of 
Israel, and sent to the prison to have 
them brought. 

22 But when the officers came, and 
found them not in the prison, they 
returned, and told, 

23 Saving, The prison truly found 
we shut with all safety, and the keep- 
ers stand ing without before the doors : 
but when we had opened, we found 
no man within. 

24 Now, when the high priest, and 
"the captain of the temple, and the 
chief priests heard these things, they 
doubted of them whereunto this 
would grow. 

25 Then came one and told them, 
saying. Behold, the men whom ye 
put in prison are standing in the 
temple, and teaching the people. 

20 Then went the captain with the 
officers, and brought them witliout 
violence: * for they feared the peo- 
ple, lest they should have been ston- 
ed. 

27 And when they had brought 
them, they set them before the coun- 
cil : and the high priest asked them, 

28 Saying, yDid not we straitly 
command you. that ye should not 
teach in this name ? and behold, ye 
have filled Jerusalem with your doc- 
trine, '^and intend to bring this man's 
a blood upon us. 

29 TlThen Peter and the other 
apostles answered and said, ^We

up Jesus, whom ye slew and <^ hanged

Saviour, ''for to give repentance to 
Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 

32 And iwe are his witnesses of 
these things ; and 50 is also the Holy 
Ghost, i^whom God hath given to 
them that obey him. 

33 ^iWhen they heard that, they 
were cut to the heart, and took coun- 
sel to slay them. 

34 Then stood there up one in the 
council, a Pharisee, named "^Gama- 
liel, a doctor of the law, had in re- 
putation among all the people, and 
commanded to put the apostles forth 
a little space ; 

35 And said unto them, Ye men of 
Israel, take heed to yourselves what 
ye intend to do as touching these 
men : 

36 For before these days rose up 
Theudas,boasting himself to be some- 
body ; to whom a number of men, 
about four hundred, joined them- 
selves : who was slain ; and all, as 
many as || obeyed him, were scatter- 
ed, and brought to nought. 

37 After this man rose up Judas of 
Galilee, in the days of the taxing, and 
drew away much people after him : 
he also perished ; and all, even as 
many as obeyed him, were dispersed. 

38 And now I say unto you, Re- 
frain from these men, and let them 
alone: "for if this counsel or this 
workbeof men, it will cometo nought: 

39 "But if it be of God, ye cannot 
overthrow it ; lest haply ye be found 
even Pto fight against God. 

40 And to him they agreed : and 
when they had q called the apostles, 
•■and beaten them, they commanded 
that they should not speak in the 
name of Jesus, and let them go. 

41 "TI And they departed from the 
presence of the council, ^ rejoicing 
that they were counted worthy to 
suffer shame for his name. 

42 And daily 'in the temple, and 
in every house, "they ceased not to 
teach and preach Jesus Christ.

Stephen is brought before the council. 

ND in those days, ^when the 
number of the disciples was 
multiplied, there arose a murmuring 
of the b Grecians against the He- 
brews, because their widows were 
neglected <=in the daily ministration. 

2 Then the twelve called the mul- 
titude of the disciples unto them, and 
said, ''It is not reason that we should 
leave the word of God, and serve 
tables. 

3 Wherefore, brethren, ^look ye 
out among you seven men of honest 
report, full of the Holy Ghost and 
wisdom, whom we may appoint over 
this business. 

4 But we fwill give ourselves con- 
tinually to prayer, and to the ministry 
of the word, 

5 T[ And the saying pleased the 
whole multitude : and they chose 
Stephen, ?a man full of faith and of 
the Holy Ghost, and ii Philip, and 
Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, 
and Parmenas, and 'Nicolas a pro- 
selyte of Antioch, 

6 Whom they set before the apos- 
tles : and i^when they had prayed, 
Hhey laid their hands on them. 

7 And "'the word of God increased ; 
and the number of the disciples mul- 
tiplied in Jerusalem greatly ; and a 
great company "of the priests were 
obedient to the faith. 

8 And Stephen, full of faith and 
power, did great wonders and mira- 
cles among the people. 

9 ^ Then there arose certain of the 
synagogue, v/hich is called the syna- 
gogue of the Libertines, and Cyre- 
nians, and Alexandrians, and of them 
of Cilicia, and of Asia, disputing 
with Stephen. 

10 And "they were not able to re- 
sist the wisdom and the spirit by 
which he spake. 

11 p Then they suborned men, which 
said. We have heard him speak blas- 
phemous words against Moses, and 
against God. 

12 And they stirred up the people, 
and the elders, and the scribes, and 
came upon him, and caught him, and 
brought him to the council, 

13 And setup false witnesses, which 
said. This man ceaseth not to speak 
blasphemous words against this holy 
place, and the law : 

1066 



Stephen's apology. 

14 qFor we have heard him say, 
that this Jesus of Nazareth shall ""de- 
stroy this place, and shall change the 
II customs which Moses delivered us. 

15 And all that sat in the council, 
looking steadfastly on him, saw his 
face as it had been the face of an 
angel. 

CHAP. YII. 

1 Stephen., permitted to answer to the accusation of 
blasphemy, 2 sheueth that Al/raham worshipped 
God rightly, and how God chose the fathers 20 
before Moses was born, and before the tabernacle 
and temple were built : 37 that Moses himself 
tcitnessed of Christ : ■14 and thai all outward 
ceremonies were ordained according to the hea- 
venly pattern, to last but fur a time: 51 re- 
prehendirr.^ their rebellion, and murdering of 
Christ, the Just One, whom the prophets fore- 
told should come inlothe world. iA Whereupon 
they stone him to death, who commendeth his 
soul to Jesus, and humbly prayeih for them. 

THEN said the high priest. Are 
these things so ? 

2 And he said, ^Men, brethren, and 
fathers, hearken ; The God of glory 
appeared unto our father Abraham 
when he was in Mesopotamia, before 
he dwelt in Charran, 

3 And said unto him, ''Get thee 
out of thy country, and from thy 
kindred, and come into the land 
which I shall shew thee. 

4 Then <^came he out of the land of 
the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Char- 
ran. And from thence, when his fa- 
ther was dead, he removed him into 
this land wherein ye now dwell. 

5 And he gave him none inherit- 
ance in it, no, not so much as to set 
his foot on : '' yet he promised that 
he would give it to him for a posses- 
sion, and to his seed after him, when 
as yet he had no child. 

6 And God spake on this wise, 
*That his seed should sojourn in a 
strange land ; and that they should 
bring them into bondage, and entreat 
them evil 'Tour hundred years. 

7 And the nation to whom they 
shall be in bondage will I judge, said 
God : and after tiiat shall they come 
forth, and p serve me in this place. 

8 ''And he gave him the covenant 
of circumcision. 'And so Abraham 
begat Isaac, and circumcised him the 
eighth day ; ^ and Isaac begat Jacob, 
and'Jacobftegflithetwelvepatriarchs. 

9 "'And the patriarchs, moved with 
envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: "but

afflictions, ° and gave him favour and 
wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh kins: 
of Egypt ; and he made him gover- 
nor over Eg}'pt, and all his house. 

11 pNow there came a dearth over 
all the land of Eg)-pt and Chanaan, 
and great affliction ; and om- fathers 
found no sustenance. 

12 ^But when Jacob heard that 
there was corn in Egypt, he sent out 
our fathers first, 

13 ■■ And at the second time Joseph 
was made known to his brethren : and 
Joseph's kindred was made known 
unto Pharaoh. 

14 ^Then sent Joseph, and called 
his father Jacob to him, and 'all his 
kindred, threescore and fifteen souls. 

15 "So Jacob went down into E- 
gypt, ^■•and died, he, and our fathers, 

16 And ■^ were carried over into Sy- 
chem, and laid in J'the sepulchre that 
Abraham bought for a sum of money 
of the sons of Emmor, the father of 
Sychem. 

17 But when ^the time of the pro- 
mise drew nighjwhich God had sworn 
to Abraham, "the people grew and 
multiplied in Egj-pt, 

18 Till another king arose, which 
knew not Joseph. 

19 The same dealt subtilely with our 
kindred, and evil-entreated our fa- 
thers, ''so that they cast out their 
young children, to the end they might 
not live. 

20 '^In which time Moses was born, 
and ''was || exceeding fair, and nou- 
rished up in his father's house three 
months : 

21 And cwhen he was cast out, 
Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and 
nourished him for her own son. 

22 And Moses was learned in all 
the wisdom of the Egjptians, and 
was ^mighty in words and in deeds. 

23 ?And when he was full forty 
years old, it came into his heart to vi- 
sit his brethren the children of Israel. 

24 And seeing one of them suffer 
wrong, he defended him, and avenged 
him that was oppressed, and smote 
the Egyptian: 

25 II For he supposed his brethren 
would have understood how that God 
by his hand would deliver them : but 
they understood not.

would have set them at one again, 
saying, Sirs, ye are brethren ; -why 
do ye wrong one to another ? 

27 But he that did his neighbour 
wrong, thnist him away,saying, 'Who 
made thee a ruler and a judge over us? 

28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst 
the Egyptian yesterday ? 

29 ''Then fled Moses at this saying, 
and was a stranger in the land of 
Madian, where he begat two sons. 

30 'And when forty years were ex- 
pired, there appeared to him in the 
wilderness of mount Sina, an angel of 
the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush 

31 When Moses saw it, he wonder- 
ed at the sight ; and as he drew near 
to behold it, the voice of the Lord 
came unto him, 

32 Saying, ">! am the God of thy 
fathers, the God of Abraham, and 
the God of Isaac, and the God of 
Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and 
durst not behold. 

33 "Then said the Lord to him, Put 
olT thy shoes from thy feet : for the 
place where thou standest is holy 
ground. 

34 o I have seen, I have seen the af- 
fliction of my people which is in E- 
gypt, and I have heard their groan- 
ing, and am come down to deliver 
them. And now come, I will send 
thee into Egypt. 

35 This Moses, whom they refused, 
saying, Who made thee a ruler and a 
judge ? the same did God send to be 
a ruler and a deliverer Pby the hand 
of the angel which appeared to him 
in the bush. 

36 q He brought them out, after that 
he had ''shewed wonders and signs in 
the land of Egypt, ^and in the Red 
sea, 'and in the wilderness forty years. 

37 TI This is that Moses, which said 
unto the children of Israel, "A Pro- 
phet shall the Lord your God raise 
up unto you of j'our brethren, || like 
unto me ; ^him shall ye hear. 

38 yThis is he, that was in the 
church in the wilderness with ^the 
angel which spake to him in the 
mount Sina, and with our fathers : 
^who received the lively *> oracles to 
give unto us :

obey, but thrust him from them, and

41 ^And they made a calf in those 
days, and offered sacrifice unto the 
idol, and rejoiced in the works of 
their own hands. 

42 Then ^God turned, and gave 
them up to worship ^the host of hea-

the prophets, &0 ye house of Israel, 
have ye offered to me slain beasts and 
sacrifices ly the space q/" forty years 
in the wilderness ? 

43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle 
of Moloch, and the star of your god 
Remphan, figures which ye made to 
worship them : and I will carry you 
away beyond Babylon. 

44 Our fathers had the tabernacle

Simon the sorcerer is baptized. 

6 And the people with one accord 
gave heed unto those things which 
PhiHp spake, hearing and seeing the 
miracles \vhich he did. - 

7 ?For unclean spirits, crying with 
loud voice, came out of many that 
were possessed toith them: and many 
taken with palsies, and that Mere 
lame, were healed. 

8 And there was great joy in that 
city. 

9 But there was a certain man, 
called Simon, which beforetime in 
the same city ^ used sorcery, and be- 
witched the people of Samaria, 'giv- 
ing out that himself was some great 
one : 

10 To whom they all gave heed, 
from the least to the greatest, saying, 
This man is the great power of God. 

1 1 And to him they had regard, be- 
cause that of long time he had be- 
witched them with sorceries. 

12 But when they believed PhiHp, 
preaching the things ''concerning the 
kingdom of God, and the name of 
Jesus Christ, they were baptized 
both men and women. 

13 Then Simon himself beheved 
also : and when he was baptized, he 
continued with Philip, and wonder- 
ed, beholding the f miracles and signs 
which were done. 

14 Now when the apostles which 
were at Jerusalem heard that Sama- 
ria had received the word of God, 
they sent unto them Peter and John: 

15 Who, when they were come 
down, prayed for them ' that they 
might receive the Holy Ghost : 

16 (For ""as yet he was fallen up- 
on none of them : only " they were 
baptized in "the name of the Lord 
Jesus.) 

17 Then P laid they their hands on 
them, and they received the Holy 
Ghost. 

18 And when Simon saw that 
through laying on of the apostles' 
hands the Holy Ghost was given, he 
offered them money, 

19 Saying, Give me also this pow- 
er, that on whomsoever I lay hands, 
he may receive the Holy. Ghost. 

20 But Peter said unto him. Thy 
money perish with thee, because 
qthou hast thought that ■'the gift of 
God may be purchased with money.

Philip baptizeih an Ethiopian eunuch 

21 Thou hast neither part nor lot 
in this matter: for thy heart is not 
right in the sight of God. 

22 Repept therefore of this thy 
wickedness, and pray God, «if per- 
haps the thought of thy heart may 
be forgiven thee. 

23 For I perceive that thou art in 
* the gall of bitterness, and in the 
bond of iniquity. 

24 Then ansvi^ered Simon, and said, 
" Pray ye to the Lord for me, that 
none of these things which ye have 
spoken come upon me. 

25 And they, when they had testi- 
fied and preached the word of the 
Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and 
preached the gospel in many villages 
of the Samaritans. 

26 And the angel of the Lord spake 
unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go 
toward the south, unto the way that 
goeth down from Jerusalem unto 
Gaza, which is desej't. 

27 And he arose, and went : and 
behold, ^ a man of Ethiopia, an eu- 
nuch of great authority under Can- 
dace queen of the Ethiopians, who 
had the charge of all her treasure, 
and yhad come to Jerusalem for to 
worship, 

28 Was returning ; and sitting in 
his chariot, read Esaias the prophet 

29 Then the Spirit said unto Phi- 
lip, Go near and join thyself to this 
chariot. 

30 And Philip ran thither to him, 
and heard him read the prophet 
Esaias, and said, Understandest thou 
what thou readest? 

31 And he said, How can I, except 
some man should guide me ? And he 
desired Philip that he would come 
up, and sit with him. 

32 The place of the scripture which 
he read was this, ^ He was led as a 
sheep to the slaughter; and like a 
lamb dumb before his shearer, so 
opened he not his mouth : 

33 In his humiliation his judgment 
was taken away: and who shall de- 
clare his generation? for his life is 
taken from the earth. 

34 And the eunuch answered Phi- 
lip, and said, I pray thee, of whom 
speaketh the prophet this? of him- 
self, or of some other man? 

35 Then Philip opened his mouth.

The conversion of Saul 

=^ and began at the same scripture, 
and preached unto him Jesus. 

36 And as they went on their way, 
they came unto a certain water : and 
the eunuch said. See, here is water; 
''what doth hinder me to be baptized? 

37 And Philip said, ^ If thou behev- 
est with all thy heart, thou mayest. 
And he answered and said, ^ I believe 
that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 

38 And he commanded the chariot 
to stand still : and they Vv'ent down 
both into the water, both Philip and 
the eunuch ; and he baptized him. 

39 And when they were come up 
out of the water, ^ the Spirit of the 
Lord caught away Philip, that the 
eunuch saw him no more : and he 
went on his way rejoicing. 

40 But Philip was found at Azotus : 
and passing through, he preached in 
all the cities, till he came to Cesarea. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 Saul, going toicards Damascus, 4 is stricken 
down to the earth, JO is called to the apostle- 
ship, 18 and is baptized by Ananias. 20 He 
preacheth Christ boldly. 23 The Jews lay tvait 
. to kill him : 29 so do the Grecians, but he es- 
capeth both. 31 The church having rest, Peter 
healeth Eneas of the palsy, 36 a7id restoreth 
Tabiflia to life. 

ND ^ Saul, yet breathing out 
threatenings and slaughter a- 
gainst the disciples of the Lord, 
went unto the high priest, 

2 And desired of him letters to Da- 
mascus to the synagogues, that if he 
found any f of this way, whether 
they were men or women, he might 
bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 

3 And t> as he journeyed, he came 
near Damascus : and suddenly there 
shined round about him a light from 
heaven : 

4 And he fell to the earth, and heard 
a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, 
"^why persecutest thou me ? 

5 And he said. Who art thou. Lord ? 
And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom 
thou persecutest. '^It is hard for 
thee to kick against the pricks. 

6 And he trembling, and astonished, 
said. Lord, ^what wilt thou have me 
to do ? And the Lord said unto him. 
Arise, and go into the city, and it 
shall be told thee what thou must do. 

7 And fthe men which journeyed 
with him stood speechless, hearing a 
voice, but seeing no man. 

8 And Saul arose from the earth; and 

1070 



Ananias is sent to him. 

when his eyes were opened, he saw 
no man : but they led him by the hand, 
and brought him into Damascus. 

9 And he was three days without 
sight, and neither did eat nor drink. 

10 TI And there was a certain dis- 
ciple at Damascus, ^named Ananias; 
and to him said the Lord in a vision, 
Ananias. And he said. Behold, I am 
here, Lord. 

11 And the Lord said unto him, 
Arise, and go into the street which 
is called Straight, and inquire in the 
house of Judas for one called Saul 
h of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth, 

12 And hath seen in a vision a man 
named Ananias, coming in, and put- 
ting his hand on him, that he might 
receive his sight. 

13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, 
I have heard by many of this man, 
'how much evil he hath done to thy 
saints at Jerusalem : 

14 And here he hath authority from 
the chief priests, to bind all ^ that 
call on thy name. 

15 But the Lord said unto him, Go 
ihy way : for ' he is a chosen vessel 
unto me, to bear my name before 
>" the Gentiles, and " kings, and the 
children of Israel. 

IG For °1 will shew him how great 
things he must suffer for my name's 
sake. 

17 PAnd Ananiaswent his way, and 
entered into the house: and i putting 
his hands on him, said. Brother Saul, 
the Lord {even Jesus that appeared 
unto thee in the way as thou earnest) 
hath sent me, that thou mightest re- 
ceive thy sight, and ""be filled with 
the Holy Ghost. 

18 And immediately there fell from 
his eyes as it had been scales : and 
he received sight forthwith, and 
arose, and was baptized. 

19 And when he had received meat, 
he was strengthened. » Then was 
Saul certain days with the disciples 
which were at Damascus. 

20 xVnd straightway he preached 
Christ in the synagogues, ' that he is 
the Son of God. 

21 But all that heard him were a- 
mazed, and said, " Is not this he that 
destroyed them which called on this 
name in Jerusalem, and came hither 
for that intent, that he might bring

The Jews seek to kill Saul. 
them bound unto the chief priests ? 

22 But Saul increased the more in 
strength, -^'and confounded the Jews 
which dwelt at Damascus, proving 
that this is very Christ. 

23 *1I And after that many days were 
fulfilled, >'the Jews took counsel to 
kill him. 

24 z But their laying wait was 
known of Saul. And they watched 
the gates day and night to kill him. 

25 Then the disciples took him by 
night, and ^ let him down by the wall 
in a basket. 

26 And bwhen Saul was come to 
Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself 
to the disciples: but they were all 
afraid of him, and believed not that 
he was a disciple. 

27 "^But Barnabas took him, and 
brought him to the apostles, and de- 
clared unto them how he had seen 
the Lord in the way, and that he 
had spoken to him, <' and how he had 
preached boldly at Damascus in the 
name of Jesus, 

28 And e he was with them coming 
in and going out at Jerusalem, 

29 And he spake boldly in the name 
of the Lord Jesus, and disputed a- 
gainstthe f Grecians: shut they went 
about to slay him. 

30 Which when the brethren knew, 
they brought him down to Cesarea, 
and sent him forth to Tarsus. 

31 ''Then had the churches rest 
throughout all Judea, and Galilee, 
and Samaria, and were edified: and 
walking in the fear of the Lord, and 
in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, 
were multiplied. 

32 H And it came to pass, as Peter 
passed ' throughout all quarters, he 
came down also to the saints which 
dwelt at Lydda. 

33 And there he found a certain 
man named Eneas, which had kept 
his bed eight years, and was sick of 
the palsy. 

34 And Peter said unto him, Eneas, 
''Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: 
arise, and make thy bed. And he 
arose immediately. 

35 And all that dwelt in Lydda 
and ' Saron saw him, and ™ turned 
to the Lord. 

36 TINowthere was at Joppa a cer- 
tain disciple named Tabitha, which 

1071 



Tahitha raised to life. 

by interpretation is called |) Dorcas ; 
this woman was full " of good works 
and alms-deeds which she did. 

37 And it came to pass in those 
days, that she was sick, and died: 
whom when they had washed, they 
laid her in "an upper chamber. 

38 And forasmuch as Lydda was 
nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had 
heard that Peter was there, they sent 
unto him two men, desiring him that 
he would not || delay to come to them. 

39 Then Peter arose, and went with 
them. When he was come, they 
brought him into the upper cham- 
ber : and all the widows stood by him 
weeping, and shewing the coats and 
garments which Dorcas made, while 
she was with them. 

40 But Peter Pput them all forth, 
and q kneeled down, and prayed ; and 
turning him to the body, •■ said,Tabi- 
tha, arise. And she opened her eyes : 
and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 

41 And he gave her his hand, and 
lifted her up ; and when he had called 
the saints and widows, he presented 
her alive. 

42 And it was known throughout 
all Joppa : ^ and many believed in 
the Lord. 

43 And it came to pass, that he tar- 
ried many days in Joppa with one 
* Simon a tanner. '

Cornelius sendethfot Peter. 

call for one Simon, whose surname 
is Peter: 

6 He lodgeth with one ^ Simon a 
tanner, whose house is by the sea- 
side : ^ he shall tell thee what thou 
oughtest to do. 

7 And when the angel which spake 
unto Cornelius was departed, he 
called two of his household servants, 
and a devout soldier of them that 
waited on him continually ; 

8 And when he had declared all 
these things unto them, he sent them 
to Joppa. 

9 II On the morrow, as they went 
on their journey, and drew nigh unto 
the city, f Peter went up upon the 
house-top to pray,about the sixth hour: 

10 And he became very hungry, and 
would have eaten : but while they 
made ready, he fell into a trance, 

1 1 And s saw heaven opened, and 
a certain vessel descending unto him, 
as it had been a great sheet knit at 
the four corners, and let down to 
the earth : 

1 2 Wherein were all manner of four- 
footed beasts of the earth, and wild 
beasts, and creeping things, and 
fowls of the air. 

13 And there came a voice to him, 
Rise, Peter ; kill, and eat. 

14 But Peter said, Not so. Lord; 
h for I have never eaten any thing 
that is common or unclean. 

15 And the voice spake unto him a- 
gain the second time, ' What God hath 
cleansed, that call not thou common. 

16 This was done thrice: and the 
vessel was received up again into 
heaven. 

17 Now, while Peter doubted in 
himself what this vision which he 
had seen should mean, behold, the 
men which were sent from Corne- 
lius had made inquiry for Simon's 
house, and stood before the gate, 

18 And called, and asked whether 
Simon, which was surnamed Peter, 
were lodged there. 

19 Tl While Peter thought on the 
vision, ''the Spirit said unto him. Be- 
hold, three men seek thee. 

20 'Arise therefore, and get- thee 
down, and go with them, doubting 
nothing : for I have sent them. 

21 Then Peter went down to the 

men which were sent unto him from 

1072 



Peter preachetJi Christ to 

Cornelius ; and said, Behold, I am 
he whom ye seek: what is the cause 
wherefore ye are come ? 

22 And they said, "i Cornelius the 
centurion, a just man, and one that 
feareth God, and "of good report 
among all the nation of the Jews, 
was warned from God by a holy 
angel to send for thee into his house, 
and to hear words of thee. 

23 Then called he them in, and 
lodged them. And on the morrow 
Peter went away with them, °and cer- 
tain brethren from Joppa accompa- 
nied him. 

24 And the morrow after they en- 
tered into Cesarea. And Cornelius 
waited for them, and had called to- 
gether his kinsmen and near friends. 

25 And as Peter was coming in, 
Cornelius met him, and fell down at 
his feet, and worshipped hi?7i. 

26 But Peter took him up, saj-ing, 
P Stand up: I myself also am a man. 

27 And as he talked with him, he 
went in, and found many that were 
come together. 

28 And he said unto them. Ye know 
how ithat it is an unlawful thing for 
a man that is a Jew to keep company, 
or come unto one of another nation ; 
but ""God hath shewed me that I 
should not call any man common or 
unclean. 

29 Therefore came I unto you with- 
out gainsaying, as soon as I was sent 
for : I ask therefore for what intent 
ye have sent for me ? 

30 And Cornelius said, Four days 
ago I was fasting until this hour; and 
at the ninth hour I prayed in my 
house, and behold, ^a man stood be- 
fore me 'in bright clothing, 

31 And said, Cornelius, "thy pray- 
er is heard, ^and thine alms are had 
in remembrance in the sight of God. 

32 Send therefore to Joppa, and 
call hither Simon, whose surname is 
Peter; he is lodged in the house of 
one Simon a tanner, by the sea-side: 
who, when he cometh, shall speak 
unto thee. 

33 Immediately therefore I sent to 
thee ; and thou hast well done that 
thou art come. Now therefore are we 
all here present before God, to hear 
all things that are commanded thee 
oi God.

Cornelius and his company, 

34 "ilThen Peter opened his mouth, 
and said, y Of a truth I perceive that 
God is no respecter of persons: 

35 But zin eveiy nation, he that fear- 
eth him and worketh righteousness, 
is accepted with him. 

36 The word which God sent unto 
the children of Israel, ^preaching 
peace by Jesus Christ : ('•he is Lord 
of all :) 

37 That word, /say, ye know, which 
was published throughout all Judea, 
and c began from Galilee, after the 
baptism which John preached ; 

38 How "^God anointed Jesus of 
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and 
with pov.-er : who went about doing 
good, and healing all that were op- 
pressed of the devil ; ^for God was 
with him. 

39 And fwe are witnesses of all 
things which he did, both in the 
land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem ; 
swhoni they slew and hanged on a 
tree : 

40 Him ^God raised up the third 
day, and shewed him openly ; 

41 'Not to all the people, but unto 
witnesses chosen before of God, even 
to us, "^who did eat and drink with 
him after he rose from the dead. 

42 And 'he commandedusto preach 
unto the people, and to testify '"that 
it is he which was ordained of God 
to he the Judge "of quick and dead. 

43 oTo him give all the prophets 
witness, that through his name P who- 
soever believeth in him shall receive 
remission of sins. 

44 U While Petor yet spake these 
words, 'itlie Holy Ghost fell on all 
them which heard the word. 

45 '"And they of the circumcision 
which believed, were astonished, as 
many as came with Peter, ^because 
that on the Gentiles also was poured 
out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 

46 For they heard them speak with 
tongues, and magnify God. Then 
answered Peter, 

47 Can any man forbid water, that 
these should not be baptized, which 
have received the Holy Ghost 'as 
well as we ? 

48 "And he commanded them to be 
baptized ^in the name of the Lord. 
Then prayed they him to tarry cer- 
tain days.

Peter, accused for conversing with THE ACTS. 
CHAP. XI. 

1 Peter, behi" accused for going in to the Gen- 
tiles, 5 maketU his defence, 18 ichich is accept- 
ed. 19 The gospel being spread into Phenice, 
and Cyprus, and Antioch, Bariiahas is sent to 
confirm them. 26 The disciples there are first 
called Christians. 27 They send relief to the 
brethren in Judea in time of famine. 

AND the apostles and brethren 
that were in Judea, heard that 
the Gentiles had also received the 
word of God. 

2 And when Peter was come up to 
Jerusalem, ^they thatwere of the cir- 
cumcision contended with him, 

3 Saying, ''Thou wentest in to men 
uncircumcised, ^and didst eat with 
them. 

4 But Peter rehearsed the matter 
from the beginning, and expounded 
it ^hy order unto them, saying, 

5 ^I was in the city of Joppa pray- 
ing : and in a trance 1 saw a vision, 
A certain vessel descending, as it had 
been a great sheet, let down from 
heaven by four corners ; and it came 
even to me : 

6 Upon the which when I had fast- 
ened mine eyes, I considei'ed, and saw 
four-footed beasts of the earth, and 
wild beasts, and creeping things, and 
fowls of the air. 

7 And I heard a voice saying unto 
me. Arise, Peter; slay, and eat. 

8 But I said, Not so, Lord : for no- 
thing common or unclean hath at any 
time entered into my mouth. 

9 But the voice answered me again 
from heaven. What God hath cleans- 
ed, that call not thou common. 

10 And this was done three times : 
and all were drawn up again into 
heaven. 

1 1 And behold, immediately there 
were three men already come unto 
the house where I was, sent from 
Cesarea unto me. 

I 12 And fthe Spirit bade me go with 
them, nothing doubting. Moreover, 
ethese six brethren accompanied me, 
and we entered into the man's house : 

13 iiAnd he shewed us how he had 
seen an angel in his house, which 
stood and said unto him. Send men 
to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose 
suriiame is Peter ; 

14 Who shall tell thee words, ach.2. n. 
whereby thou and all thy house is. 32. & 21 
shall be saved. 'ipor.n.f

II Or, in 
the church. 



the Gentiles, maketh his defence. 

Holy Ghost fell on them, ■ as on us 
at the beginning. 

16 Then remembered I the word of 
the Lord, how that he said, ^^John 
indeed baptized with water; but 'ye 
shall be baptized with the Holy 
Ghost. 

17 "1 Forasmuch then as God gave 
them the like gift as he did unto 
us, who believed on the Lord Jesus 
Christ, "what was I, that I could 
withstand God ? 

18 When they heard these things, 
they held their peace, and glorified 
God, saying, °Then hath God also 
to the Gentiles granted repentance 
unto hfe. 

1 9 '^ P Now they which were scatter- 
ed abroad upon the persecution that 
arose about Stephen, travelled as far 
as Phenice, and Cypi'us, and Antioch, 
preaching the word to none but unto 
the Jews only. 

20 And some of them were men of 
Cyprus and Cyrene, which when they 
were come to Antioch, spake unto 
qthe Grecians, preaching the Lord 
Jesus. 

21 And "^the hand of the Lord was 
with them : and a great number be- 
lieved, and s turned unto the Lord. 

22 "Tf Then tidings of these things 
came unto the ears of the church 
which was in Jerusalem : and they 
sent forth ^Barnabas, that he should 
go as far as Antioch. 

23 Who, when he came, and had 
seen the grace of God, was glad, and 
"exhorted them all, that with purpose 
of heart they would cleave unto the 
Lord. 

24 For he was a good man, and 
■^full of the Holy Ghost, and of faith: 
yand much people was added unto 
the Lord. 

25 Then departed Barnabas to 
2 Tarsus, for to seek Saul: 

26 And when he had found him, 
he brought him unto Antioch. And 
it came to pass, that a whole year 
they assembled themselves || with the 
church, and taught much people. 
And the disciples were called Chris- 
tians first in Antioch. 

27 '^ And in these days came ^^ pro- 
phets from Jerusalem unto Antioch. 

28 And there stood up one of them 
named i^Agabus, and signified by the 

1074 



Peter's imprisonment, and 

Spirit, that there should be great 
dearth throughout all the world: 
which came to pass in the days of 
Claudius Cesar. 

29 Then the disciples, every man 
according to his ability, determined 
to send <^reliefunto the brethren which 
dwelt in Judea. 

30 '' Which also they did, and sent 
it to the elders by the hands of Bar- 
nabas and Saul. 

CHAP. XII. 

1 KiHjf Herod persecutelh the Christians, killeth 
James, and iiuprisoiieth Peter ; ichom an angel 
delivereth upon Ute prayers of the Church. 2U 
In his pride taking to himself the honour due to 
God, he is stricken by an angel, and dieth mis- 
erably. 24 After his death, the word of God 
prospereth. 

NOW about that time, Herod the 
king, II stretched forth his hands 
to vex certain of the church. 

2 And he killed James ^the brother 
of John with the sword. 

3 And because he saw it pleased the 
Jews, he proceeded further to take 
Peter also. Then were ''the days of 
unleavened bread. 

4 And =when he had apprehended 
him, he put him in prison, and deli- 
vered him to four quaternions of sol- 
diers tokeephim: intending afterEas- 
ter to bring him forth to the people. 

.5 Peter therefore was kept in prison : 
but II prayer was made without ceas- 
ing of the Church unto God for him. 

G And when Herod would have 
brought him forth, the same night 
Peter was sleeping between two sol- 
diers, bound with two chains; and 
the keepers before the door kept the 
prison. 

7 And behold, '' the angel of the 
Lord came upon him, and a light 
shined in the prison; and he smote 
Peter on the side, and raised him up, 
saying. Arise up ([uickly. And his 
chains fell ofl" from Ids hands. 

8 And the angel said unto him, 
Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals: 
and so he did. And he saith unto 
him. Cast thy garment about thee, 
and follow me. 

9 And he went out, and followed 
him, and " w ist not that it was true 
which was done by the angel ; but 
thought Hie saw a vision. 

10 When they were past the first 
and the second ward, they came unto

miraculous deliverance, 

city ; g which opened to them of his 
own accord : and they went out, and 
passed on through one street; and 
forthwith the angel departed from, 
him. 

11 And when Peter was come to 
himself, he said. Now I know of a 
surety, that ^ the Lord hath sent his 
angel, and 'hath delivered me out of 
the hand of Herod, and from all the 
expectation of the people of the Jews. 

12 And when he had considered the 
thing, ''he came to the house of Mary 
the mother of 'John, whose surname 
was Mark; where many were gather- 
ed together, i" praying. 

1 3 And as Peter knocked at the door 
of the gate, a damsel came || to heark- 
en, named Rhoda. 

14 And when she knew Peter's 
voice, she opened not the gate for 
gladness, but ran in, and told how 
Peter stood before the gate. 

15 And they said unto her, Thou 
art mad. But she constantly affirmed 
that it was even so. Then said they, 
"It is his angel. 

16 But Peter continued knocking. 
And when they had opened the door, 
and saw him, they were astonished. 

17 But he ° beckoning unto them 
with the hand to hold their peace, de- 
clared unto them how the Lord had 
brought him out of the prison. And 
he said, Go shew these things unto 
James, and to the brethren. And he 
departed,and went into another place. 

18 Now as soon as it was day, there 
was no small stir among the soldiers, 
what was become of Peter. 

19 And when Herod had sought for 
him, and found him not, he examin- 
ed the keepers, and commanded that 
tlteij should be put to death. And he 
went down from Judea to Cesarea, 
and there abode. 

20 H And Herod || was highly dis- 
pleased with them of Tyre and Sidon. 
But they came with one accord to 
him, and having made Blastus f the 
king's chamberlain their friend, de- 
sired peace, because P their country 
was nourished by the king's counti-y. 

21 And upon a set day, Herod ar- 
rayed in royal apparel, sat upon his 
throne, and made an oration unto 
them. 

22 And the people gave a shout, 

1075 



Barnabas and Saul set apart. 

saying, It is the voice of a god, and 
not of a man. 

23 And immediately the angel of 
the Lord q smote him, because 'he 
gave not God the glory : and he vi^as 
eaten of worms, and gave up the 
ghost. 

24 ^ But sthe word of God grew 
and multiplied. 

25 And Barnabas and Saul return- 
ed from Jerusalem, when they had 
fulfilled their \\ ministry, and Hook 
with them "John, whose surname 
was Mark. 

CHAP. XIII. 

I Paul and Barnabas are chosen to go to the Gen- 

tiles. 7 Of Sergius Pauhis, and Elymas the 
sorcerer. 14 Paul ■preachelh at Antioch, that Je- 
sus is Christ. 42 The Gentiles believe : 45 but 
tlie Jews gainsay and blaspheme: 46 where- 
upon they turn to the Gentiles. 48 As many as 
were ordained to life believed. 

"OW there were ^ in the church 
that was at Antioch certain pro- 
phets and teachers ; as '^Barnabas, 
and Simeon that was called Niger, 
and ^Lucius of Gyrene, and Manaen, 

II which had been brought up with 
Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 

2 As they ministered to the Lord 
and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, <^ Se- 
parate me Barnabas and Saul, for the 
work e-whereuntol have called them. 

3 And fwhen they had fasted and 
prayed, and laid their hands on them, 
they sent them away. 

4 T[ So they being sent forth by the 
Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia ; 
and from thence they sailed to e Cy- 
prus. 

5 And when they were at Salamis, 
•^they preached the word of God in 
the synagogues of the Jews. And they 
had also 'John to their minister. 

6 And when they had gone through 
the isle unto Paphos, they found ^a 
certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a 
Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus: 

7 Which was with the deputy of the 
country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent 
man ; who called for Barnabas and 
Saul, and desired to hear the word 
of God. 

8 But 1 Elymas the sorcerer (for so 
is his name by interpretation) with- 
stood them, seeking to turn away the 
deputy from the faith. 

9 Then Saul, (who also is called 
Paul) I" filled with the Holy Ghost, 
set his eyes on him,

10 And said, O full of all subtilty, 
and all mischief, '^thou child of the 
devil, thou enemy of all righteous- 
ness, wilt thou not cease to pervert 
the right ways of the Lord 1 

11 And now behold, °the hand of 
the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt 
be blind, not seeing the sun for a sea- 
son. And immediately there fell on 
him a mist and a darkness ; and he 
went about seeking some to lead him 
by the hand. 

12 Then the deputy, when he saw 
what was done, believed, being asto- 
nished at the doctrine of the Lord. 

13 Now when Paul and his com- 
pany loosed from Paphos, they came 
to Perga in Pamphylia: And pJohn 
departing from them, returned to Je- 
rusalem, 

14 ^ But when they departed from 
Perga, they came to Antioch in Pi- 
sidia, and qwent into the synagogue 
on the sabbath-day, and sat down. 

15 And ''after the reading of the 
law and the prophets, the rulers of 
the synagogue sent unto them, say- 
ing. Ye men and brethren, if ye have 
^any word of exhortation for the 
people, say on. 

16 Then Paul stood up, and tbeck- 
oning with his hand, said. Men of Is- 
rael, and "ye that fear God, give 
audience, 

17 The God of this people of Israel 
^ chose our fathers, and exalted the 
people y when they dwelt as strangers 
in the land of Egypt, ^^and with a 
high arm brought he them out of it. 

18 And !i about the time of forty 
years f suffered he their manners in 
the wilderness. 

19 And when ^\\e had destroyed 
seven nations in the land of Chanaan, 
=he divided their land to them by 
lot. 

20 And after that, <^he gave unto 
them judges, about the space of four 
hundred and fifty years, e until Sam- 
uel the prophet. 

21 fAnd afterward they desired a 
king: and God gave unto them Saul 
the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of 
Benjamin, by the space of forty years, 

22 And s when he had removed him, 
^ he raised up unto them David to be 
their king : to whom also he gave 
testimony, and said, 'I have found

dead : 

31 And ''he was seen many days of 
them which came up with him =from 
Galilee to Jerusalem, ''who are his k. 
witnesses unto the people. 

32 And we declare unto you glad 
tidings, how that 'the promise which 
was made unto the fathers, 

33 God hath fulfilled the same un- 
to us their children, in that he hath 
raised up Jesus again ; as it is also 
written in the second psalm, 'Thou 
art my Son, this day have I begotten 
thee. 

34 And as concerning that he rais- 
ed him up from the dead, now no 
more to return to corruption, he said 
on this wise, el will give you the sure 
t mercies of David. 

35 Wherefore he saith also in an- 
other psalm, ''Thou shalt not suffer 
thy Holy One to see corruption. 

36 For David, || after he had served 
his own generation by the will of 
God, 'fell on sleep, and was laid un 
to his fathers, and saAV corruption :

Antioch in Pisidia. 

37 But he, whom God raised again, 
saw no corruption. 

38 1 Be it known unto you there- 
fore, men and brethren, that i^ through 
this man is preached unto you the 
forgiveness of sins ; 

39 And 'by him all that believe are 
justified from all things, from which 
ye could not be justified by the law 
of Moses. 

40 Beware therefore, lest that come 
upon you which is spoken of in ™the 
prophets ; 

41 Behold, ye despisers, and won- 
der, and perish: for I work a work 
in your days, a work which ye shall 
in no wise believe, though a man de- 
clare it unto you. 

42 And when the Jews were gone 
out of the synagogue, the Gentiles 
besought that these words might be 
preached to them f the next sabbath. 

43 Now, when the congregation was 
broken up, many of the Jews and re- 
ligious proselytes followed Paul and 
Barnabas ; who speaking to them, 
"persuaded them to continue in °the 
grace of God. 

44 TI And the next sabbath-day came 
almost the whole city together to hear 
the word of God. 

45 But when the Jew^s saw the mul- 
titudes, they were filled with envy, 
and P spake against those things which 
were spoken by Paul, contradicting 
and blaspheming. 

46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed 
bold, and said, i It was necessary that 
the word of God should first have 
been spoken to you : but >■ seeing ye 
put it from you, and judge yourselves 
unworthy of everlasting life, lo, ^we 
turn to the Gentiles : 

47 For so hath the Lord command- 
ed us, saying, 'I have set thee to be 
a light of the Gentiles, that thou 
shouldest be for salvation unto the 
ends of the earth. 

48 And when the Gentiles heard 
this, they were glad, and glorified 
the word of the Lord : " and as many 
as were ordained to eternal life, be- 
lieved. 

49 And the word of the Lord was 
published throughout all the region. 

50 But the Jew^s stirred up the de- 
vout and honourable women, and the 
chief men of the city, and ^raised 

1077

persecution against Paul and Barna- 
bas, and expelled them out of their 
coasts. 

51 yBat they shook off the dust of 
their feet against them, and came 
unto Iconium. 

52 And the disciples ^were filled 
with joy and with the Holy Ghost. 

CHAP. XIV. 

1 Paul and Barnabas are persecuted from Ico- 
nium. 7 At Lijsira Paul, healeth a cripple, 
whereupon they are repjtted as gods. 19 Paul is 
stoned. 21 They pass through divers churches, 
confirming the disciples in faith and patience. 
26 Returning to Antioch, they report what God 

. had done with them. 

AND it came to pass in Iconium, 
that they went both together 
into the synagogue of the Jews, and 
so spake, that a great multitude, both 
of the Jews, and also of the Greeks, 
believed. 

2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred 
up the Gentiles, and made their minds 
evil-affected against the brethren. 

3 Long time therefore abode they 
speaking boldly in the Lord, a- which 
gave testimony unto the word of his 
grace, and granted signs and won- 
ders to be done by their hands. 

4 But the multitude of the city was 
divided : and part held with the Jews, 
and part with the ^ apostles. 

5 And when there was an assault 
made both of the Gentiles, and also 
of the Jews, with their rulers, <^to 
use them despitefully, and to stone 
them, 

6 They were ware o? it, and ''fled 
unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Ly- 
caonia, and unto the region that lieth 
round about : 

7 And there they preached the 
gospel. 

8 *^ ^And there sat a certain man 
at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being 
a cripple from his mother's womb, 
who never had walked. 

9 The same heard Paul speak: who 
steadfastly beholding him, and fper- 
ceivingthathe had faith to be healed, 

10 Said with a loud voice, & Stand 
upright on thy feet. And he leaped 
and walked. 

1 1 And when the people saw what 
Paul had done, they lifted up their 
voices, saying in the speech of Ly- 
caonia, •> The gods are come down to 
us in the likeness of men, 

12 And they called Barnabas, Ju-

Paul is stoned, 

piter ; and Paul, Mercurius, because 
he was the chief speaker. 

13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which 
was before their city, brought oxen 
and garlands unto the gates, 'and 
would have done sacrifice with the 
people. 

14 Which wken the apostles, Bar- 
nabas and Paul, heard of, ''they rent 
their clothes, and ran in among the 
people, crying out, 

15 And saying. Sirs, 'why do ye 
these things? "'We also are men of 
like passions with you, and preach 
unto you, that ye should turn from 
"these vanities ounto the living God, 
P which made heaven, and earth, and 
the sea, and all things that are there- 
in: 

16 qlYho in times past suffered all 
nations to walk in their own ways. 

17 ■■ Nevertheless he left not himself 
without witness, in that he did good, 
and sgave us rain from heaven, and 
fruitful seasons, filling our hearts 
with food and gladness. 

18 And with these sayings scarce 
restrained they the people, that they 
had not done sacrifice unto them. 

19 TI'And there came thither cer- 
tain J e ws from Antioch, and Iconium, 
who persuaded the people, " and hav- 
ing stoned Paul, drew him out of the 
city, supposing he had been dead. 

20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood 
round about him, he rose up, and 
came into the city : and the next day 
he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. 

21 And when they had preached 
the gospel to that city, ^ and f had 
taught many, they returned again to 
Lystra, and tolconium, and toAntioch, 

22 Confirming the souls of the dis- 
ciples, and y exhorting them to con- 
tinue in the faith, and that '^we must 
through much tribulation enter into 
the kingdom of God. 

23 And when they had ^ ordained 
them elders in every church, and had 
prayed with fasting, they commend- 
ed them to the Lord, on whom they 
believed. 

24 And after they had passed 
throughout Pisidia, they came to 
Pamphylia. 

25 And when they had preached 
the word in Perga, they went down 
into Attalia :

26 And thence sailed to Antioch,

commended to the grace of God, for 
the work which they fulfilled. 

27 And when they were come, and 
had gathered the church together, 
<^they rehearsed all that God had 
done with them, and how he had 
^opened the door of faith unto the 
Gentiles. 

28 And there they abode long time

CHAP. XV. 

1 Great distension ariseth touching circumcision. 
6 The apostles consult about it, Si and send their 
determination by letters to the churches. 36 Paul 
and Barnabas, thinking; to visit the brethren to- 
gether, fall al strife, and depart asunder. 

AND a certain men which came 
down from Judea, taught the 
brethren, and said, 'i Except ye be|bJohn7.22. 
circumcised = after the manner ofjCai. 5.2. 
Moses, ye cannot be saved. *"" " 

2 When therefore Paul and Barna- 
bas had no small dissension and dis- 
putation with them, they determined 
that ^ Paul and Barnabas, and certain 
other of them, should go up to Jeru- 
salem unto the apostles and elders 
about this question. 

3 And <-• being brought on their way eRom.15. 
by the church, they passed through j.cor. ice, 
Phenice and Samaria, '"declaring the 
conversion of the Gentiles: and they 
caused great joy unto all the bre- 
thren. 

4 And when they were come to Je- 
rusalem, they were received of the 
church, and of the apostles and eld- 
ers, and ethey declared all things 
that God had done with them. 

5 But there || rose up certain of the 
sect of the Pharisees, which believed, 
saying, '' That it was needful to cir- 
cumcise them, and to command them 
to keep the law of Moses. 

6 H And the apostles and elders 
came together for to consider of this 
matter. 

7 And when there had been much 
disputing, Peter rose up and said 
unto them, 'Men and brethren, ye 
know how that a good while ago, 
God made choice among us, that 
the Gentiles, by my mouth, should 
hear the word of the gospel, and be 
lieve.

The case of Gentile converts decided. 

them the Holy Ghost, even as he did 
unto us : 

9 ra And put no difference between 
us and them, "purifying their hearts 
by faith. 

10 Now therefore why tempt ye 
God, "to put a yoke upon the neck 
of the disciples, which neither our 
fathers nor we were able to bear? 

1 1 But P we believe, that through 
the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, 
we shall be saved, even as they. 

12 TiThen all the multitude kept 
silence, and gave audience to Barna- 
bas and Paul, declaring what mira- 
cles and wonders God had q wrought 
among the Gentiles by them. 

13 Tf And after they had held their 
peace, ""James answered, saying. Men 
and brethren, hearken unto me. 

14 ^ Simeon hath declared how God 
at the first did visit the Gentiles, to 
take out of them a people for his name. 
,15 And to this agree the words of 
the prophets; as it is written, 

16 'After this I will return, and will 
build again the tabernacle of David 
which is fallen down; and I will 
build again the ruins thereof, and I 
will set it up : 

17 That the residue of men might 
seek after the Lord, and all the Gen- 
tiles, upon whom my name is called, 
saith the Lord, who doeth all these 
things. 

18 Known unto God are all his 
works from the beginning of the 
world. 

19 Wherefore "my sentence is, that 
we trouble not them, which from 
among the Gentiles -^ are turned to 
God: 

20 But that we write unto them 
that they abstain yfrom pollutions 
of idols, and ^from fornication, and 
from things strangled, °- and from 
blood. 

21 For Moses of old time hath in 
every city them that preach him, 
b being read in the synagogues every 
sabbath-day. 

22 Then pleased it the apostles and 
elders, with the whole church, to send 
chosen men of their own company 
to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas ; 
namely, Judas surnamed ^Barsabas, 
and Silas, chief men among the bre- 
thren : 

1079 



Letters are sent to the churches. 

23 And they wrote letters by them 
after this manner ; The apostles, and 
elders, and brethren, send greeting 
unto the brethren which are of tlie 
Gentiles in Antioch, and Syria, and 
Cilicia. 

24 Forasmuch as we have heard, 
that '^ certain which went out from us 
have troubled you with words, sub- 
verting your souls, saying, Ye must 
be circumcised, and keep the law 
to whom we gave no such command 
ment : 

25 It seemed good unto us, being 
assembled with one accord, to send 
chosen men unto you, with our be- 
loved Barnabas and Paul : 

26 "^Men that have hazarded their 
lives for the name of our Lord Jesus 
Christ. 

27 We have sent therefore Judas 
and Silas, who shall also tell you the 
same things by f mouth. 

28 For it seemed good to the Holy 
Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no 
greater burden than these necessary 
things ; 

29 'That ye abstain from meats 
offered to idols, and gfrom blood, 
and from things strangled, and from 
fornication: from which if ye keep 
yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare 
ye well. 

30 So when they were dismissed, 
they came to Antioch: and when 
they had gathered the multitude to- 
gether, they delivered the epistle. 

31 Which when they had read, they 
rejoiced for the |1 consolation. 

32 And Judas and Silas, being pro- 
phets also themselves, ^ exhorted the 
brethren with many words, and con- 
firmed them. 

33 And after they had tarried there 
a space, they were let "go in peace 
from the brethren unto the apostles. 

34 Notwithstanding, it pleased Si- 
las to abide there still. 

35 i^Paul also and Barnabas con- 
tinued in Antioch, teaching and 
preaching the word of the Lord, 
with many others also. 

36 ^ And some days after, Paul said 
unto Barnabas, Let us go again and 
visit our brethren, 'in every city 
where we have preached the word 
of the Lord, and see how they do. 

37 And Barnabas determined to

Paul and Barnabas part asunder. 

take with them ""John, whose sur- 
name was Mark. 

38 But Paul thought not good to 
take him with them, "who departed 
from them from Pamphylia, and went 
not with them to the work. 

39 And the contention was so sharp 
between them, that they departed 
asunder one from the other: and so 
Barnabas took Mark, and sailed un- 
to Cyprus. 

40 And Paul chose Silas, and de- 
parted, ° being recommended by the 
brethren unto the grace of God. 

41 And he went through Syria and 
Cilicia, P confirming the churches.

1 Pmilhavin^ circumcised Timothy, 7 and being 
called by the Spiritfrom one country to another, 
14 converteth Lydia, 16 casteih out a spirit of 
divination. 19 For which cause he and Silas 
are whipped and imprisoned. 26 The prison 
doors are opened. 31 The jailer is converted, 
37 and they are delivered, 

HEN came he to i^Derbe and 



Lystra : and behold, a certain 
disciple was there, ''named Timo- 
theus, "= the son of a certain woman 
which was a Jewess, and believed, 
but his father was a Greek : 

2 Which ^ was well reported of by 
the brethren that were at Lystra and 
Iconium. 

3 Him would Paul have to go forth 
with him ; and ^ took and circum- 
cised him, because of the Jews which 
Were in those quarters : for they knew 
all that his father was a Greek : 

4 And as they went through the 
cities, they delivered them the de- 
crees for to keep, '"that were ordain- 
ed of the apostles and elders which 
were at Jerusalem. 

5 And s so were the churches esta- 
blished in the faith, and increased in 
number daily. 

6 Now, when they had gone through- 
out Phrygia, and the region of Gala- 
tia, and were forbidden of the Holy 
Ghost to preach the word in Asia ; 

7 After they were come to Mysia, 
they assayed to go into Bithynia: but 
the Spirit suffered them not. 

8 And they passing by Mysia, ^ came 
down to Troas. 

9 And a vision appeared to Paul in 
the night : There stood a ' man of 
Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, 
Come over into Macedonia, and help 



us.

Paul converteth Lydia. 

10 And after he had seen the vision, 
immediately we endeavoured to go 
i^into Macedonia, assuredly gather- 
ing, that the Lord had called us for 
to preach the gospel unto them. 

11 Therefore loosing from Troas, 
we came with a straight course to 
Samothracia, and the next day to 
Neapolis ; 

12 And from thence to 'Philippi, 
which is lithe chief city of that part 
of Macedonia, and a colony: and we 
were inthat city abiding certain days. 

13 And on the f sabbath we went 
out of the city by a river side, where 
prayer was wont to be made ; and we 
sat down, and spake unto the women 
which resorted tkither. 

14 TI And a certain woman named 
Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city 
of Thyatira, which worshipped God, 
heard us: whose '"heart the Lord 
opened, that she attended unto the 
things which were spoken of Paul. 

15 And when she was baptized, and 
her household, she besought us, say- 
ing. If ye have judged me to be faith- 
ful to the Lord, come into my house, 
and abide there : And " she constrain 
ed us. 

16 ^And it came to pass as we 
went to prayer, a certain damsel 
"possessed with a spirit || of divina 
tion, met us, which brought her mas 
ters Pmuch gain by soothsaying : 

17 The same followed Paul and us, 
and cried, saying. These men are the 
servants of the most high God, which 
shew unto us the way of salvation. 

18 And this did she many days. 
But Paul 1 being grieved, turned and 
said to the spirit, I command thee in 
the name of Jesus Christ to come out 
of her. ""And he came out the same 
hour. 

19 TI And «when her masters saw 
that the hope of their gains was gone, 
Uhey caught Paul and Silas, and 
"drew them into the || market-place 
unto the rulers, 

20 And brought them to the ma- 

fistrates, saying, These men, being 
ews, ''do exceedingly trouble our 
city, 

21 And teach customs which are 
not lawful for us to receive, neither 
to observe, being Romans.

gether against them : and the magi- 
strates rent off their clothes, yand 
commanded to beat them. 

23 And when they had laid many 
stripes upon them, they cast them 
into prison, charging the jailer to 
keep them safely. 

24 Who having received such a 
charge, thrust them into the inner 
prison, and made their feet fast in 
the stocks. 

25 ^And at midnight Paul and 
Silas prayed, and sang praises unto 
God: and the prisoners heard them. 

26 'And suddenly there was a great 
earthquake, so that the foundations 
of the prison were shaken : and im- 
mediately ^ all the doors were opened, 
and everj' one's bands were loosed. 

27 And the keeper of the prison 
awaking out of his sleep, and seeing 
the prison-doors open, he drew out 
his sword, and would have killed 
himself, supposing that the prisoners 
had been fled. 

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, 
saying. Do thyself no harm : for we 
are all here. 

29 Then he called for a light, and 
sprang in, and came trembling, and 
fell down before Paul and Silas ; 

30 And brought them out, and said, 
^ Sirs, what must I do to be saved ? 

31 And they said, ^Believe on the 
Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be 
saved, and thy house. 

32 And they spake unto him the 
word of the Lord, and to all that 
were in his house. 

33 And he took them the same 
hour of the night, and washed their 
stripes ; and w as baptized, he and 
all his, straightway. 

84 And when he had brought them 
into his house, '^he set meat before 
them, and rejoiced, believing in God 
with all his house. 

35 And when it was day, the ma- 
gistrates sent the sergeants, saying. 
Let those men go. 

36 And the keeper of the prison 
told this saying to Paul, The magi- 
strates have sent to let you go : now 
therefore depart, and go in peace. 

37 But Paul said unto them, They 
have beaten us openly uncondemned, 
e being Romans, and have cast us in- 
to prison ; and now do they thrust u$

out privily? nay verily ; but let them 
come themselves and fetch us out. 

38 And the sergeants told these 
words unto the magistrates : and they 
feared when they heard that they 
were Romans. 

39 And they came and besought 
them, and brought them out, and 
fdesired them to depart out of the 
city. 

40 And they went out of the pri- 
son, Sand entered into the house of 
Lydia : and when they had seen the 
brethren, they comforted them, and 
departed.

1 Paul preacheth at Thessalonica, 4 where some 
believe, and others persecute him. 10 He is sent 
to Berea, and preacheth there. 13 Being per- 
secuted at Thessalonica, 15 he cometh to A thens, 
and disputeth, aiid preacheth the living God to 
them unknown, 34 whereby many are converted 
unto Christ. 

NOW when they had passed 
through Amphipolis, and Apol- 
lonia, they came to Thessalonica, 
where was a synagogue of the Jews. 

2 And Paul, as his manner was, 
^went in unto them, and three sab- 
bath-days reasoned with them out of 
the scriptures, 

3 Opening and alleging, i^that 
Christ must needs have suffered, and 
risen again from the dead ; and that 
this Jesus, || whom I preach unto you, 
is Christ. 

4 '^And some of them believed, and 
consorted with Paul and "^ Silas: and 
of the devout Greeks a great multi- 
tude, and of the chief women not a 
few. 

5 TI But the Jews which believed not, 
moved with envy, took unto them cer- 
tain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and 
gathered a company, and set all the 
city on an uproar, and assaulted the 
house of <= Jason, and sought to bring 
them out to the people. 

6 And when they found them not, 
they drew Jason and certain brethren 
unto the rulers of the city, crying, 
f These that have turned the world 
upside down, are come hither also ; 

7 Whom Jason hath received : and 
these all do contrary to the decrees of 
Cesar, ? saying, that there is another 
king, one Jesus. 

8 And they troubled the people, and 
the rulers of the city, when they 
heard these things.

It was the

in Athens, 



at Berea, and at Athens. 

9 And when they had taken security 
of Jason and of the other, they let 
them go. 

10 TIAnd Ij the brethren immediately 
sent away Paul and Silas by night un- 
to Berea : who coming thither, went 
into the synagogue of the Jews. 

11 These were more noble than 
those in Thessalonica, in that they 
received the word with all readiness 
of mind, and 'searched the scriptures 
daily, whether those things were so. 

12 Therefore many of them believ- 
ed; also of honourable women which 
were Greeks, and of men not a few. 

13 But when the Jews of Thessa- 
lonica had knowledge that the word 
of God was preached of Paul at 
Berea, they came thither also, and 
stirred up the people. 

14 k And then immediately the bre- 
thren sent away Paul, to go as it were 
to the sea : but Silas and Timotheus 
abode there still. 

15 And they that conducted Paul 
brought him unto Athens : and • re- 
ceiving a commandment unto Silas 
and Timotheus for to come to him 
with all speed, they departed. 

16 ■[[ Now, while Paul waited for 
them at Athens, "^his spirit was stir- 
red in him, when he saw the city 
II wholly given to idolatry. 

17 Therefore disputed he in the 
synagogue with the Jews, and with 
the devout persons, and in tlie mar- 
ket daily with them that met with 
him. 

18 Then certain philosophers of the 
Epicureans, and of the Stoics, en- 
countered him. And some said. What 
will this II babbler say ? other some, 
He seemeth to be a setter forth of 
strange gods : because he preached 
unto them Jesus, and the resurrec- 
tion. 

19 And they took him, and brought 
him unto || Areopagus, saying. May 
we know what this new doctrine, 
whereof thou speakest, is 1 

20 For thou bringest certain strange 
things to our ears ; we would know 
therefore what these things mean. 

21 (For all the Athenians and stran- 
gers which were there, spent their 
time in nothing else, but either to 
tell, or to hear some new thing.) 

22 1 Then Paul stood in the midst

of II Mars-hill, and said, Ye men of 
Athens, I perceive that in all things 
ye are too superstitious. 

23 For as I passed by, and beheld 
vour 11 devotions. I found an altar 
with this inscription, TO THE UN- 
KNOAVN GOD. Whom therefbre 
ye ignorantly worship, him declare 

I unto you. 

24 " God that made the world, and 
all things therein, seeing that he is i 
" Lord of heaven and earth, P d welleth , 
not in temples made with hands ; j 

25 Neitlier is worshipped with 
men's hands, qas though he needed 
any thing, seeing >• he giveth to all 
life, and breath, and all things ; 

2G And hath made of one blood al! 
nations of men for to dwell on all the 
face of the earth, and hath determin- 
ed the times before appointed, and 
"the bounds of their habitation ; 

27 'That they should seek the 
Lord, if haply they might feel after 
him, and find him, " though he be 
not far from every one of us : 

28 For ^ in him we live, and move, 
and have our being ; yas certain also 
of your own poets have said. For we 
are also his offspring. 

29 Forasmuch then as we are the 
offspring of God, ==we ought not to 
think that the Godhead is like unto 
gold, or silver, or stone, graven by 
art and man's device. 

30 And ^'the times of this ignorance 
God winked at ; but ^ now command- 
eth all men every where to repent: 

31 Because he hath appointed a day, 
in the which <= he will judge the world 
in righteousness, by t/iat man whom 
he hath ordained : whereof he hath 

II given assurance unto all 7/!e7i, in that 
••he hath raised him from the dead. 

32 TIAnd when they heard of the 
resurrection of thedead,some mock- 
ed: and others said, AVe will hear 
thee again of this matter. 

33 So Paul departed from among 
Ihem. 

34 Ilowbeit, certain men clave unto 
him, and believed : among the which 
Mas Dionysius the Areopagite, and a 
woman named Damaris, and others 
with them.

Paul preacheth at Corinth. 

Gallio the deputy, but is dismissed. 18 After- 
wards passing from city to city he strengtheneth 
the disciples. 24 ApoUos, being more perfectly 
instructed by Aqvila and Priscilla, 23 preach- 
eth Christ with great efficacy. 

AFTER these things, Paul de- 
parted from Athens, and came 
to Corinth ; 

2 And found a certain Jew named 
'^Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come 
from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, 
(because that Claudius had com- 
manded all Jews to depart from 
Rome) and came unto them. 

3 And because he was of the same 
craft, he abode with them, •* and 
wrought, (for by their occupation 
they were tent-makers.) 

4 <= And he reasoned in the syna- 
gogue every sabbath, and persuaded 
the Jews and the Greeks. 

5 And i^when Silas and Timotheus 
were come from]Macedonia,Paul was 
<= pressed in the spirit, and testified to 
the Jews, that Jesus || was Christ. 

6 And fwhen they opposed them- 
selves, and blasphemed, she shook /jis 
raiment, and said unto them, ^ Your 
blood be upon your own heads : ' I 
am clean : ^ from henceforth I will 
go unto the Gentiles. 

7 TI And he departed thence, and 
entered into a certain man's house, 
named Justus, one that worshipped 
God, whose house joined hard to the 
synagogue. 

8 1 And Crispus, the chief ruler of 
the synagogue, believed on the Lord 
with all his house: and many of the 
Corinthians hearing, believed, and 
were baptized. 

9 Then '" spake the Lord to Paul in 
the night by a vision, Be not afraid, 
but speak, and hold not thy peace : 

10 "For I am with thee, and no 
man shall set on thee, to hurt thee: 
for I have much people in this city. 

1 1 And he f continued there a year 
and six months, teaching the word 
of God among them. 

12 1 And when Gallio was the de- 
puty of Achaia, the Jews made in- 
surrection with one accord against 
Paul, and brought him to the judg- 
ment-seat, 

13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth 
men to worship God contrary to the 
law. 

14 And when Paul was now about to

Apollos preacheth at Ephesus. 

open Ms mouth, Gallio said unto the 
Jews, °If it were a matter of wrong, 
or wickedlewdness,0?/e Jews, reason 
would that I should bear with you : 

15 But if it be a question of words 
and names, and of yonr law, look ye 
io it : for I will be no judge of such 
matters. 

16 And he drave them from the 
judgment-seat. 

17 Then all the Greeks took P Sos- 
thenes, the chief ruler of the syna- 
gogue, and beat Am before the judg- 
ment-seat. And Gallio cared for none 
of those things. 

18 "^ And Paul after this tarried 
there yet a good while, and then took 
his leave of the brethren, and sailed 
thence into Syria, and with him 
Priscilla, and Aquila ; having l shorn 
his head in ^ Cenchrea : for he had a 
vow. 

19 And he came to Ephesus, and 
left them there : but he himself en- 
tered into the synagogue, and rea- 
soned with the Jews. 

20 When they desired him to tarry 
longer time with them, he consented 
not : 

21 But bade them farewell, saying, 
s I must by all means keep this feast 
that Cometh in Jerusalem : but I will 
return again unto you, * if God will. 
And he sailed from Ephesus. 

22 And when he had landed at Ce- 
sarea, and gone up and saluted the 
church, he went down to Antioch. 

23 And after he had spent some 
time there, he departed and went 
over all the coimtry of " Galatia and 
Phrygia in order, ^ strengthening all 
the disciples. 

24 "TI y And a certain Jew, named 
Apollos, born at Alexandria, an elo- 
quent man, and mighty in the scrip- 
tures, came to Ephesus. 

25 This man was instructed in the 
way of the Lord : and being ^fervent 
in the spirit, he spake and taught 
diligently the things of the Lord, 
a knowing only the baptism of John. 

26 And he began to speak boldly in 
the synagogue : Whom, when Aquila 
and Priscilla had heard, they took 
him unto them, and expounded unto 
him the way of God more perfectly. 

27 And when he was disposed to 
pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote,

THE A C T S. The Holy Ghost conferred by Paul 

exhorting the disciples to receive 
him : who, when he was come, ^ help- 
ed them much which had believed 
through grace. 

28 For he mightily convinced the 
Jews, and that publicly, <= shewing by 
the scriptures, that Jesus || was Christ. 
CHAP. XIX. 

6 The Holy Ghost is given by PavVs hands. 9 
the Jews blaspheme his doctrine, which is con- 
firmed by miracles. 13 The Jewish exorcists 16 
are beaten by the devil. 19 Conjuring books 
are burnt. '24 Demetrius, for love of gain, 
raiseth an ■uproar against Paul, 35 which is 
appeased by the town-clerk. 

ND it came to pass, that while 
a Apollos was at Corinth, Paul 
having passed through the upper 
coasts, came to Ephesus; and find- 
ing certain disciples, 

2 He said unto them. Have ye re- 
ceived the Holy Ghost since ye be- 
lieved? And they said unto him, ^^ We 
have not so much as heard whether 
there be any Holy Ghost. 

3 And he said unto them. Unto 
what then were ye baptized? And 
they said, '^ Unto John's baptism. 

4 Then said Paul, <=John verily 
baptized with the baptism of repent- 
ance, saying unto the people, that 
they should believe on him which 
should come after him, that is, on 
Christ Jesus. 

5 When they heard this, they were 
baptized fin the name of the Lord 
Jesus. 

6 And when Paul had elaid his 
hands upon them, the Holy Ghost 
came on them ; and i^they spake 
with tongues, and prophesied. 

7 And all the men were about 
twelve. 

8 i And he went into the synagogue, 
and spake boldly for the space of 
three months, disputing and per- 
suading the things i^ concerning the 
kingdom of God. 

9 But ^when divers were hardened, 
and believed not, but spake evil ™ of 
that way before the multitude, he de- 
parted from them, and separated the 
disciples, disputing daily in the school 
of one Tyrannus. 

1 And "this continued by the space 
of two years ; so that all they which 
dwelt in Asia heard the word of the 
Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

Demetrius raiseth an uproar, 

12 pSo that from his body were 
brought unto the sick handkerchiefs, 
or aprons, and the diseases departed 
from them, and the evil spirits went 
out of them. 

13 ^iThen certain of the vagabond 
Jews, exorcists, ""took upon them to 
call over them which had evil spirits, 
the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, 
We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul 
preacheth. 

14 And there were seven sons of 
one Sceva a Jew, and chief of the 
priests, which did so. 

15 And the evil spirit answered and 
said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know ; 
but who are ye ? 

16 And the man in whom the evil 
spirit was, leaped on them, and over- 
came them, and prevailed against 
them, so that they Hed out of that 
house naked and wounded. 

17 And this was known to all the 
Jews and Greeks also dwelling at 
Ephesus : and ^fear fell on them all, 
and the name of the Lord Jesus was 
magnified. 

1 8 Andmany that believed came, and 
'confessed, and shewed their deeds. 

19 Many also of them which used 
curious arts, brought their books to- 
gether, and burned them before all 
men ; and they counted the price of 
them, and found it fil\y thousand 
pieces of silver. 

20 " So mightily grew the word of 
God, and prevailed. 

21 H "After these things were end- 
ed, Paul > purposed in the spirit, 
when he had passed through Mace- 
donia, and Achaia, to go to Jerusa- 
lem, saying, After I have been there, 
^I must also see Rome. 

22 So he sent into Macedonia two 
of ''them that ministered unto him, 
Timotheus and ''Erastus ; but he 
himself stayed in Asia for a season. 

23 And "^the same time there arose 
no small stir about '•that way. 

24 For a certain trian named De- 
metrius, a silver-smith, which made 
silver shrines for Diana, brought ^no 
small gain unto the craftsmen ; 

25 Whom he called together with 
the workmen of like occupation, and 
said. Sirs, ye know that by this craft 
we have our wealth :

not alone at Ephesus, but almost 
throughout all Asia, this Paul hath 
persuaded and turned away much 
people, saying, that ^they be no gods 
which are made with hands. 

27 So that not only this our craft is 
in danger to be set at nought ; but 
also that the temple of the great god- 
dess Diana should be despised, and 
her magnificence should be destroy- 
ed, whom all Asia, and the world 
worshippeth. 

28 And when they heard these say- 
ings, they were full of wrath, and 
cried out, saying, Great is Diana of 
the Ephesians. 

29 And the whole city was filled 
with confusion : and having caught 
gGaius and ^Aristarchus, men of 
Macedonia, Paul's companions in 
travel, they rushed with one accord 
into the theatre. 

30 And when Paul would have en- 
tered in unto the people, the disci- 
ples suffered him not. 

31 And certain of the chief of Asia, 
which were his friends, sent unto 
him desiring him that he would not 
adventure himself into the theatre. 

32 Some therefore cried one thing, 
and some another : for the assembly 
was confused, and the more part 
knew not wherefore they were come 
together. 

33 And they drew Alexander out of 
the multitude, the Jews putting him 
forward. And 'Alexander ''beckon- 
ed with tlie hand, and would have 
made his defence unto the people. 

34 But when they knew that he was 
a Jew, all with one voice about the 
space of two hours cried out. Great 
is Diana of the Ephesians. 

35 And when the town-clerk had 
appeased the people, he said. Ye men 
of Ephesus, what man is there that 
knoweth not how that the city of the 
Ephesians is f a worshipper of the 
great goddess Diana, and of the im- 
age which fell down from Jupiter ? 

36 Seeing then that these things 
cannot be spoken against, ye ought 
to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. 

37 For ye have brought hither these 
men, which are neither robbers of 
churches, nor yet blasphemers of 
your goddess. 

38 Wherefore, if Demetrius, and the

craftsmen which are with him, have 
a matter against any man, || the law 
is open, and there are deputies : let 
them implead one another. 

39 But if ye inquire any thing con- 
cerning other matters, it shall be de- 
termined in a II lawful assembly. 

40 For we are in danger to be call- 
ed in question for this day's uproar, 
there being no cause whereby we 
may give an account of this con- 
course. 

41 And vvhen he had thus spoken, 
he dismissed the assembly.

ND after the uproar was ceased, 
Paul called unto him the disci-

parted for to go into Macedonia. 

2 And when he had gone over those 
parts, and had given them much ex- 
hortation, he came into Greece, 

3 And there abode three months. 
And t>when the Jews laid wait for 
him, as he was about to sail into Sy-

Macedonia. 

4 And there accompanied him into 
Asia, Sopater of Berea ; and of the 
Thessalonians, ''Ai-istarchus and Se-

6 And we sailed away from Philippi, 
after "i the days of unleavened bread, 
and came unto them ' to Troas in five 
days ; where we abode seven days. 

7 And upon '^the first day of the 
week, when the disciples came toge- 
ther Uo break bread, Paul preached 
unto them, (ready to depart on the 
morrow) and continued his speech 
until midnight. 

8 And there were many lights ™in 
the upper chamber, where they were 
gathered together. 

9 And there sat in a window a cer-

being fallen into a deep sleep : and

the third loft, and was taken up dead. 

10 And Paul went down, and "fell 
on him, and embracing him, said, 
° Trouble not yourselves ; for his life 
is in him. 

1 1 When he therefore was come up 
again, and had broken bread, and 
eaten, and talked a long while, even 
till break of day, so he departed. 

12 And they brought the young 
man alive, and were not a little com- 
forted. 

13 ^ And we went before to ship, 
and sailed unto Assos, there intend- 
ing to take in Paul : for so had he 
appointed, minding himself to go 
afoot. 

14 And when he met with us at 
Assos, we took him in, and came to 
Mitylene. 

15 And we sailed thence, and came 
the next day over against Chios ; and 
the next day we arrived at Samos, 
and tarried at Trogyllium ; and the 
next day we came to Miletus. 

16 For Paul had determined to sail 
by Ephesus, because he would not 
spend the time in Asia : for Phe hast- 
ed, if it were possible for him, qto be 
at Jerusalem "^the day of Pentecost. 

17 TIAnd from Miletus he sent to 
Ephesus, and called the elders of the 
church. 

18 And when they were come to 
him, he said unto them. Ye know, 
sfrom the first day that I came into 
Asia, after what manner I have been 
with you at all seasons, 

19 Serving the Lord with all humi- 
lity of mind, and with many tears 
and temptations, which befell me * by 
the lying in wait of the Jews : 

20 And how "I kept back nothing 
that was profitable u7ito ?/ozi, but have 
shewed you, and have taught you 
publicly, and from house to house, 

21 ''Testifying both to the Jews, 
and also to the Greeks, y repentance 
toward God, and faith toward our 
Lord Jesus Christ. 

22 And now behold, ^l go bound

me, neither count I my Hfe dear unto 
myself, ^so that I might finish my 
course with joy, <^and the ministry 
e which I have received of the Lord 
Jesus, to testify the gospel of the 
grace of God. 

25 And n.ow behold, ^I know that 
ye all, among whom I have gone 
preaching the kuigdom of God, shall 
see my face no more. 

26 Wherefore I take you to record 
this day, that I am gpure from the

27 For ''I have not shunned to de- 
clare unto you all ' the counsel of God. 

28 IJi'Take heed therefore unto 
yourselves, and to all the flock over 
the which the Holy Ghost 'hath 
made you overseers, to feed the

departing "shall grievous wolves en- 
ter in among you, not sparing the 
flock. 

30 Also Pof your own selves shall SoiTim.i 
men arise, speaking perverse things, i JohnS.w, 
to draw away disciples after them. 

3 1 Therefore watch, and remember, 
that qby the space of three years I 
ceased not to warn every one night 
and day with tears. 

32 And now, brethren, I commend 
you to God, and ""to the word of his 
grace, which is able no build you 
up, and to give you 'an inheritance 
among all them which are sancti- 
fied.

support the weak, and to remember 
the words of the Lord Jesus, how he 
said. It is more blessed to give than 
to receive.

where he is apprehended, and in great danger, 
31 but by the chief captain is rescued, and per- 
mitted to speak to the people. 

ND it came to pass, that after 
we were gotten from them, and 
had launched, we came with a straight 
course unto Coos, and the day fol- 
lowing unto Rhodes, and from thence 
unto Patara : 

2 And finding a ship sailing over 
unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and 
set forth. 

3 Now when we had discovered 
Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, 
and sailed into Syria, and landed at 
TjTe : for there the ship was to un- 
lade her burden. 

4 And finding disciples, we tarried 
there seven days : »who said to Paul 
through the Spirit, that he should 
not go up to Jerusalem. 

5 And when we had accomplished 
those days,we departed, and went our 
way; and they all brought us on our 
way, with wives and children, till we 
were out of the city : and ''we kneel- 
ed down on the shore, and prayed. 

6 And when we had taken our leave 
one of another, we took ship ; and 
they returned ^home again. 

7 And when we had finished our 
course from Tyre, we came to Ptole- 
mais, and saluted the brethren, and 
abode with them one day. 

8 And the next day we that were of 
Paul's company departed, and came 
unto Cesarea ; and we entered into 
the house of Philip ''the evangelist, 
•= which was one of the seven; and 
abode with him. 

9 And the same man had four 
daughters, virgins, f which did pro- 
phesy. 

10 And as we tarried there many 
days, there came down from Judea a 
certain prophet, named sAgabus. 

1 1 And when he was come unto us, 
he took Paul's girdle, and bound his 
own hands and feet, and said, Thus 
saith the Holy Ghost, ^So shall the 
Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that 
owneth this girdle, and shall deliver 
him into the hands of the Gentiles.

both we, and they of that place, be- 
sought him not to go up to Jerusa-

13 Then Paul answered, ^What 
mean ye to weep, and to break my 
heart? fori am ready not to be bound 
only, but also to die at Jerusalem for 
the name of the Lord Jesus. 

14 And when he would not be per- 
suaded, we ceased, saying, i^The will 
of the Lord be done. 

15 And after those days we took 
up our carriages, and went up to Je- 
rusalem. 

1 6 There went with us also certain 
of the disciples of Cesarea, and 
brought with them one Mnason of 
Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom 
we should lodge. 

17 'And when we were come to 
Jerusalem, the brethren received us 
gladly. 

18 And the day following Paul 
went in with us unto "'James : and 
all the elders were present. 

19 And when he had saluted them, 
° he declared particularly what things 
God had wrought among the Gen- 
tiles ° by his ministry. 

20 And when they heard it, they 
glorified the Lord, and said unto him, 
Thou seest, brother, how many thou- 
sands of Jews there are which be- 
lieve ; and they are all P zealous of 
the law : 

21 And they are informed of thee, 
that thou teachest all the Jews which 
are among the Gentiles to forsake 
Moses, saying. That they ought not 
to circumcise their children, neither 
to walk after the customs. 

22 What is it therefore ? the mul- 
titude must needs come together: 
for they will hear that thou art 
come.

thee : We have four men which have 
a vow on them ;

with them, and be at charges with 
them, that they may q shave their 
heads : and all may know that those 
things whereof they were informed 
concerning thee, are nothing ; but 
that thou thyself also walkest order- 
ly, and keepest the law.

thing, save only that they keep them- 
selves from things oflTered to idols, 
and from blood, and from strangled, 
and from fornication. 

26 Then Paul took the men, and 
the next day purifying himself with 
them, s entered into the temple. Ho 
signify the accomplishment of the 
days of purification, until that an 
offering should be offered for every 
one of them. 

27 And when the seven days were 
almost ended, "the Jews, which were 
of Asia, when they saw him in the 
temple, stirred up all the people, and 
^laid hands on him, 

28 Crying out. Men of Israel, help. 
This is the man ythat teacheth all 
men every where against the people, 
and the law, and this place : and fur- 
ther, brought Greeks also into the 
temple ; and hath polluted this holy 
place. 

29 (For they had seen before with 
him in the city, ^ Trophimus, an Ephe- 
sian, whom they supposed that Paul 
had brought into the temple.) 

30 And ^a\\ the city was moved, 
and the people ran together: and 
they took Paul and drew him out of 
the temple. And forthwith the doors 
were shut. 

31 And as they went about to kill 
him, tidings came unto the chief cap- 
tain of the band, that all Jerusalem 
was in an uproar ; 

32 b Who immediately took soldiers 
and centurions, and ran down unto 
them. And when they saw the chief 
captain and the soldiers, they left 
beating of Paul. 

33 Then the chief captain came 
near and took him, and <= command- 
ed him to be bound with two chains : 
and demanded who he was, and what 
he had done. 

34 And some cried one thing, some 
another, among the multitude : and 
when he could not know the cer- 
tainty for the tumult, he command- 
ed him to be carried into the cas- 
tle. 

35 And when he came upon the 
stairs, so it was that he was borne of 
the soldiers, for the violence of the 
people. 

36 For the multitude of the people

37 And as Paul was to be led into 
the castle, he said unto the chief cap- 
tain. May I speak unto thee ? Who 
said, Canst thou speak Greek ? 

38 f^Art not thou that Egj^ptian, 
which before these days madest an 
uproar, and leddest out into the wil- 
derness four thousand men that were 
murderers? 

39 But Paul said, ?! am a man 
which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in 
Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: 
and I beseech thee suffer me to 
speak unto the people. 

40 And when he had given him 
licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and 
g beckoned with the hand unto the 
people. And when there was made 
a great silence, he spake unto them 
in the Hebrew tongue, saying,

make now unto you. 

2 (And when they heard that he 
spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, 
they kept the more silence: and he 
saith,) 

3 ''I am verily a man ichich am a 
Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, i

Saul, why persecutest thou me f 

8 And I answered. Who art thou. 
Lord ? And he said unto me, I am 
Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou per- 
secutest. 

9 And ""they that were with me 
saw indeed the light, and were afraid ; 
but they heard not the voice of him 
that spake to me. 

10 And I said. What shall I do. 
Lord? And the Lord said unto me, 
Arise, and go into Damascus, and 
there it shall be told thee of all 
things which are appointed for thee 
to do. 

11 And when I could not see for 
the glory of that light, being led by 
the hand of them that were with me, 
I came into Damascus. 

12 And "one Ananias, a devout 
man according to the law, "having a 
good report of all the P Jews which 
dwelt there, 

13 Came unto me, and stood, and 
said unto me. Brother Saul, receive 
thy sight. And the same hour I 
looked up upon him. 

14 And he said, qThe God of our 
fathers ""hath chosen thee, that thou 
shouldest know his will, and ^see 
'that Just One, and "shouldest hear 
the voice of his mouth. 

15 ^For thou shalt be his witness 
unto all men of y what thou hast seen 
and heard. 

16 And now why tarriest thou ? a- 
rise, and be baptized, ^ and wash away 
thy sins, "^ calling on the name of the 
Lord. 

17 And ''it came to pass, that, when 
I was come again to Jerusalem, even 
while I prayed in the temple, I was 
in a trance; 

18 And <=saw him saying unto me, 
''Make haste, and get thee quickly 
out of Jerusalem ; for they will not 
receive thy testimony concerning me. 

19 And I said. Lord, ^they know 
that I imprisoned, and ^beat in every 
synagogue them that believed on 
thee : 

20 eAnd when the blood of thy 
martyr Stephen was shed, I also was 
standing by, and ^ consenting unto 
his death, and kept the raiment of 
them that slew him. 

21 And he said unto me, Depart: 

1089 



Paul brovght before the council. 

>for I will send thee far hence unto 
the Gentiles. 

22 And they gave him audience 
tinto this word, and then lifted up 
their voices, and said, ^^Away with 
such a fellow from the earth : for it 
is not fit that ^he should live. 

23 And as they cried out, and cast 
off their clothes, and threw dust into 
tlie air, 

24 The chief captain commanded 
him to be brought into the castle, and 
bade that he should be examined by 
scourging : that he might know where- 
fore they cried so against him. 

25 And as they bound him with 
thongs, Paul said unto the centurion 
that stood by, ™ Is it lawful for you 
to scourge a man that is a Roman, 
and uncondemned ? 

26 When the centurion heard that, 
he went and told the chief captain, 
saying. Take heed what thou doest; 
for this man is a Roman. 

27 Then the chief captain came, 
and said unto him, Tell me, art thou 
a Roman? He said. Yea. 

28 And the chief captain answered. 
With a great sum obtained I this 
freedom. And Paul said. But I was 
free-horn. 

29 Then straightway they departed 
from him which should have || ex- 
amined him: and the chief captain 
also was afraid, after he knew that 
he was a Roman, and because he had 
bound him. 

30 On the morrow, because he 
would have known the certainty 
wherefore he Avas accused of the 
Jews, he loosed him from his bands, 
and commanded the chief priests 
and all their council to appear, and 
brought Paul down, and set him be- 
fore them.

4 And they that stood by, said, Re-

5 Then said Paul, ^I wist not, bre- 
thren, that he was the high priest : 
for it is written, <^Thou shalt not 
speak evil of the ruler of thy people. 

6 But when Paul perceived that 
the one part were Sadducees, and the 
other Pharisees, he cried out in the 
council, Men and brethren, T am a 
Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee : &of 
the hope and resurrection of the dead 
I am called in question. 

7 And when he had so said, there 
arose a dissension between the Pha- 
risees and the Sadducees: and the 
multitude was divided. 

8 ^ For the Sadducees say that there 
is no resurrection, neither angel, nor 
spirit : but the Pharisees confess both. 

9 And there arose a great cry : and 
the Scribes that were of the Pharisees' 
part arose, and strove, saying, 'We 
find no evil in this man : but "^ if a 
spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, 
Uet us not fight against God, 

10 And when there arose a great 
dissension, the chief captain, fearing 
lest Paul should have been pulled in 
pieces of them, commanded the sol- 
diers to go down, and to take him by 
force from among them, and to bring 
him into the castle. 

11 And "the night following the 
Lord stood by him, and said. Be of 
good cheer, Paul : for as thou hast 
testified of me in Jerusalem, so must 
thou bear witness also at Rome. 

12 And when it was day, "certain 
of the Jews banded together, and 
bound themselves || under a curse, 
saying, that they would neither eat 
nor drink till they had killed Paul. 

13 And they were more than forty 
which had made this conspiracy. 

14 And they came to the chief 
priests and elders, and said. We have 
bound ourselves under a great curse, 
that we will eat nothing until we 
have slain Paul. 

15 Now therefore ye with the coun- 
cil signify to the chief captain, thathe

something more perfectly concern- 
ing him : and we, or ever he come 
near, are ready to kill him. 

16 And when Paul's sisters son 
heard of their lying in wait, he 
went and entered into the castle, and 
told Paul. 

17 Then Paul called one of the cen- 
turions unto him, and said. Bring tliis 
young man unto the chief captain; 
for he hath a certain thing to tell him. 

18 So he took him, and brought 
Jiim to the chief captain, and said, 
Paul the prisoner called me unto Jdm, 
and prayed me to bring this young 
man unto thee, who hath something 
to say unto thee. 

19 Then the chief captain took him 
by the hand and went with him 
aside privately, and asked A ra, What 
is that thou hast to tell me ? 

20 And he said, ° The Jews have 
agreed to desire thee, that thou would- 
est bring down Paul to-morrow into 
the council, as though they Avould 
inquire somewhat of him more per- 
fectly. 

21 But do not thou yield unto them: 
for there lie in wait for him of them 
more than forty men, which have 
bound themselves with an oath, that 
they will neither eat nor drink till 
they have killed him: and now are 
they ready, looking for a promise 
from thee. 

22 So the chief captain then let the 
young man depart, and charged him. 
See thou tell no man that thou hast 
shewed these things to me. 

23 And he called unto him two cen- 
'urions, saying, Make ready two 
hundred soldiers to go to Cesarea, 
and horsemen threescore and ten, 
and spearmen two hundred, at tlie 
third hour of the night; 

24 And provide them beasts, that 
they may set Paul on, and bring Aim 
safe unto Felix the governor. 

25 And he wrote a letter after this 
manner: 

20 Claudius Lysias, unto the most 
excellent governor Felix, sendeth 
greeting. 

27 P This man was taken of the 
Jews, and should have been killed 
of them : then came I with an army, 
and rescued him, having understood 
that he was a Roman.

the world, and a ring-leader of the 
sect of the Nazarenes: 

6 ^ Who also hath gone about to 
profane the temple : whom we took, 
and would ^have judged according 
to our law : 

7 fBut the chief captain Lysias 
came zijooft MS, and with great violence 
took 1dm away out of our hands, 

8 ? Commanding his accusers to 
come unto thee : by examining of 
whom, thyself mayest take know- 
ledge of all these things whereof we 
accuse him. 

9 And the Jews also assented, say- 
ing. That these things were so. 

10 Then Paul, after that the gover- 
nor had beckoned unto him to speak, 
answered. Forasmuch as I know that 
thou hast beenof many years a judge 
unto this nation, I do the more cheer- 
fully answer for myself: 

1 1 Because that thou mayest under- 
stand, that there are yet but twelve 
days since I went up to Jerusalem 
i> for to worship. 

12 'And they neither found me in 
the temple disputing with any man, 
neither raising up the people, neither 
in the synagogues, nor in the city : 

13 Neither can they prove the things 
whereof they now accuse me, 

14 But this I confess unto thee, 
that after ^i\\e way which they call 
heresy, so worship I the ' God of 
my fathers, believing all things which 
are written in " the law and in the 
prophets : 

1 5 And n have hope toward God, 
which they themselves also allow, 
"that there shall be a resurrection of 
the dead, both of the just and unjust. 

16 And P herein do I exercise my- 
self, to have always a conscience void 
of offence toward God, and toward 
men.

to bring alms to my nation, and of- 
ferings.

cil, 

21 Except it be for this one voice, 
that I cried, standing among them, 
t Touching the resurrection of the 
dead I am called in question by you 
this day. 

22 And when Felix heai'd these 
things, having more perfect know- 
ledge of that way, he deferred them, 
and said. When "Lysias the chief 
captain shall come down, I will know 
the uttermost of your matter. 

23 And he commanded a centurion 
to keep Paul, and to let him have li- 
berty, and ''that he should forbid 
none of his acquaintance to minister, 
or come unto him.

lix came with his wife Drusilla, which 
was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and

26 He hoped also that y money 
should have been given him of Paul, 
that he might loose him : wherefore 
he sent for him the oftener, and com- 
muned with him. 

27 But after two years Porcius Fes- 
tus came into Felix' room : and Fe- 
lix, z willing to shew the Jews a plea- 
sure, left Paul bound.

to king Agrippa, 23 and he is brought forth. 
25 Festus cleareth him to have done nothing 
worthy of death. 

NOW when Festus was come in- 
to the province, after three days 
he ascended from Cesarea to Jerusa- 
lem. 

2 '-^ Then the high priest and the 
chief of the Jews informed him a- 
gainst Paul, and besought hiiii, 

3 And desired favour against him, 
that he would send for him to Jeru- 
salem, ^ laying wait in the way to 
kill him. 

4 But Festus answered, that Paul 
should be kept at Cesarea, and that 
he himself would depart shortly thi- 
ther.

He appealeth unto Cesar. 

5 Let them therefore, said he, which 
among you are able, go down with 
me, and accuse this man, <=if there be 
any wickedness in him. 

6 And when he had tarried among 
them II more than ten days, he went 
down unto Cesarea ; and the next 
day sitting on the judgment-seat, com- 
manded Paul to be brought. 

7 And when he was come, the Jews 
which came down from Jerusalem 
stood round about, ''and laid many 
and grievous complaints against Paul, 
which they could not prove ; 

8 While he answered for himself, 
^Neither against the law of the Jews, 
neither against the temple, nor yet 
against Cesar have I offended any 
thing at all. 

9 But Festus, '"willing to do the 
Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and 
said, ? Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, 
and there be judged of these things 
before me ? 

10 Then said Paul, I stand at Ce- 
sar's judgment-seat, where I ought to 
be judged : to the Jews have I done 
no wrong, as thou ver\'well knowest. 

1 1 ''For if I be an offender, or liave 
committed any thing worthy of death, 
I refuse not to die : but if^ there be 
none of these things whereof these 
accuse me, no man may deliver me 
unto them. 'I appeal unto Cesar. 

12 Then Festus, when he had con- 
ferred with the council, answered, 
Hast thou appealed unto Cesar? 
unto Cesar shalt thou go. 

13 And after certain days, king A- 
grippa and Bernice came unto Cesa- 
rea, to salute Festus. 

14 And when they had been there 
many days, Festus declared Paul's 
cause unto the king, saying, "^ There 
is a certain man left in bonds by 
Felix : 

15 'About whom, when I was at 
Jerusalem, the chief priests and the 
elders of the Jews informed me, de- 
siring to have judgment against him. 

IG "'To whom I answered. It is not 
the manner of the Romans to deliver 
any man to die, before that he which 
is accused have the accusers face to 
face, and have licence to answer for 
himself concerning the crime laid 
against him.

Agrippa desireth to see Paul. 
hither, " without any delay on the 
morrow I sat on the judgment-seat, 
and commanded the man to be 
brought forth ; 

18 Against whom,when the accusers 
stood up, they brought none accusa- 
tion of such things as I supposed : 

19 ^But had certain questions a- 
gainst him of their own superstition, 
and of one Jesus, which was dead, 
whom Paul affirmed to be alive. 

20 And because || I doubted of such 
manner of questions, I asked him 
whether he would go to Jerusalem, 
and there be judged of these matters. 

21 But when Paul had appealed to 
be reserved unto the || hearing of Au- 
gustus, I commanded him to be kept 
till I might send him to Cesar. 

22 Then P Agrippa said unto Festus, 
I would also hear the man myself. 
To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear 
him. 

23 And on the morrow, when Agrip- 
pa was come, and Bernice, with great 
pomp, and was entered into the place 
of hearing, with the chief captains 
and principal men of the city, at Fes- 
tus' commandment Paul was brought 
forth. 

24 And Festus said. King Agrippa, 
and all men which are here present 
with us, ye see this man about whom 
<iall the multitude of the Jews have 
dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and 
also here, crjnng that he ought rnot 
to live any longer. 

25 But when 1 found that 'he had 
committed nothing worthy of death, 
'and that he himself hath appealed 
to Augustus, I have determined to 
send him. 

26 Of whom I have no certain thing 
to write unto my lord. Wherefore I 
have brought him forth before you, 
and specially before thee, O king 
Agrippa, that after examination had, 

1 might have somewhat to write. 

27 For it seemeth to me unreason- 
able to send a prisoner, and not 
withal to signify the crimes laid 
against him. 

CHAP. XXVI. 

2 Paul, in the presence of Agrippa, declareth his 
life from his childhood, 12 and how miracu- 
lously he was converted, and called to his apos- 
■tleship. 24 Festus chargeth him to be mad, 
vhereunto he answereih modestly. 28 Agrippa 
U almost persuaded tobe a Christian. 31 The 
whole company pronounce himinnocent.

Paul's defence 

THEN Agrippa said unto Paul, 
Thou art permitted to speak for 
thyself. Then Paul stretched forth 
the hand, and answered for himself: 

2 I think myself happy, king 
Agrippa, because I shall answer for 
myself this day before thee, touching 
all the things whereof I am accused 
of the Jews : 

3 Especially, because I know thee to 
be expert in all customs and ques- 
tions which are among the Jews : 
wherefore I beseech thee to hear me 
patiently. 

4 My manner of life from my youth, 
which was at the first among mine 
own nation at Jerusalem, know all 
the Jews, 

5 Which knew me from the begin- 
ning, (if they would testify ,)that after 
^the most straitest sect of our reli- 
gion, I lived a Pharisee. 

6 1'And now I stand, and am judged 
for the hope of <=the promise made 
of God unto our fathers : 

7 Unto viYixoh promise <^our twelve 
tribes, instantly serving God f'^day 
and night, f hope to come. For which 
hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am ac- 
cused of the Jews. 

8 Why should it be thought a thing 
incredible with you, that God should 
raise the dead ? 

9 ?I verily thought with myself, 
that I ought to do many things con- 
trary to the name of Jesus of Naza- 
reth. 

10 i^ Which thing I also did in Je- 
rusalem : and many of the saints did 
J shut up in prison, having received 
authority 'from the chief priests ; 
and when they were put to death, I 
gave my voice against them. 

11 ^And I punished them oft in 
every synagogue, and compelled them 
to blaspheme; and being exceedingly 
mad against them, I persecuted them 
even unto strange cities. 

12 1 Whereupon, as I went to Da- 
mascus, with authority and commis- 
sion from the chief priests, 

13 At mid-day, O king, I saw in the 
way a light from heaven, above the 
brightness of the sun, shining round 
about me, and them which journeyed 
with me. 

14 And when we were all fallen to 
the earth, I heard a voice speaking

before Agrippa. 

unto me, and saying in the Hebrew 
tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest 
thou me ? It is hard for thee to kick 
against the pricks. 

15 And I said. Who art thou. Lord? 
And he said, I am Jesus whom thou 
persecutest. 

16 But rise, and stand upon thy 
feet : for I have appeared unto thee 
for this purpose, ™to make thee a 
minister and a witness both of these 
things which thou hast seen, and of 
those things in the which I will ap- 
pear unto thee ; 

17 Delivering thee from the people, 
and/7-o?ra the Gentiles, "unto whom 
now I send thee, 

18 °To open their eyes, and Pto 
turn them from darkness to light, and 
from the power of Satan unto God, 
qthat they may receive forgiveness 
of sins, and "^inheritance among them 
which are = sanctified by faith that is 
in me. 

19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I 
was not disobedient unto the heaven- 
ly vision : 

20 But t shewed first unto them of 
Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and 
throughout all the coasts of Judea, 
and then to the Gentiles, that they 
should repent and turn to God, and 
do "works meet for repentance. 

21 For these causes ^the Jews 
caught me in the temple, and went 
about to kill me. 

22 Having therefore obtained help 
of God, I continue unto this day, wit- 
nessing both to small and great, say- 
ing none other things than those 
y which the prophets and ^ Moses did 
say should come : 

23 a That Christ should suffer, and 
•^that he should be the first that 
should rise from the dead, and <= should 
shew light unto the people, and to the 
Gentiles. 

24 And as he thus spake for himself, 
Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, 
dthou art beside thyself; much learn- 
ing doth make thee mad. 

25 But he said, I am not mad, most 
noble Festus ; but speak forth the 
words of truth and soberness. 

26 For the king knoweth of these 
things, before whom also I speak free- 
ly. For I am persuaded that none of 
these things are hidden from him : 

1094 



Agrippa declareth him innocent. 

for this thing was not done in a cor- 
ner. 

27 King Agrippa, behevest thou the 
prophets ? I know that thou behevest. 

28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, 
Almost thou persuadest me to be a 
Christian. 

29 And Paul said, ^I would to God, 
that not only thou, but also all that 
hear me this day, were both almost, 
and altogether such as I am, except 
these bonds. 

30 And when he had thus spoken, 
the king rose up, and the governor, 
and Eernice, and they that sat with 
them : 

31 And when they were gone aside, 
they talked between themselves, say- 
ing, f This man doeth nothing worthy 
of death, or of bonds. 

32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, 
This man might have been set at li- 
berty, eif he had not appealed unto 
Cesar.

AND when "it was determined,

they delivered Paul and certain other 
prisoners unto one named Julius, a 
centurion of Augustus' band. 

2 And entering into a ship of Adra-

thence, we sailed under Cyprus, be- 
cause the winds were contrary. 

5 And when we had sailed over the 
sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we 
came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 

6 And there the centurion found a 
ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; 
and he put us therein.

many days, and scarce were come

Paul's voyage toward Rome, 
unto a place whichis called, The Fair 
Havens; nigh whereunto wasthecity 
of Lasea. 

9 Now, when much time was spent, 
and when sailing was now dangerous, 
'^ because the fast was now already 
past, Paul admonished them, 

10 And said unto them. Sirs, I per- 
ceive that this voyage will be with 
II hurt and much damage, not only of 
the lading and ship, but also of our 
lives. 

11 Nevertheless, the centurion be- 
lieved the master and the owner of 
the ship more than those things which 
were spoken by Paul. 

12 And because the haven was not 
commodious to winter in, the more 
part advised to depart thence also, if 
by any means they might attain to 
Phenice, and there to winter ; ichicli 
is a haven of Crete, and lieth toward 
the south-west and north-west. 

13 And when the south wind blew 
softly, supposing that they had ob- 
tained their purpose, loosing thence, 
they sailed close by Crete. 

14 But not long after there || aro.se 
against it a tempestuous wind, called 
Euroclydon. 

15 And when the ship was caught, 
and could not bear up into the wind, 
we let her drive. 

16 And running under a certain 
island which is called Clauda,we had 
much work to come by the boat : 

17 Which when they had taken up, 
they used helps, undergirding the 
ship ; and fearing lest they should 
fall into the quicksands, strake sail, 
and so were driven. 

1 8 And we being exceedingly tossed 
with a tempest, the next day they 
lightened the ship ; 

19 And the third day ^we cast out 
with our own hands the tackling of 
the ship. 

20 And when neither sun nor stars 
in many days appeared, and no small 
tempest lay on us, all hope that we 
should be saved wasthen taken away. 

21 But after long abstinence, Paul 
stood forth in the midst of them, and 
said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened 
unto me, and not have loosed from 
Crete, and to have gained this hann 
and loss. 

22 And now I exhort you to be of 

1095 



Paul for etelleth a shipwreck. 

good cheer: for there shall be no loss 
of any marHs life among you, but of 
the ship. 

23 fPor there stood by me this 
night the angel of God, whose I am, 
and ffwhom I serve, 

24 Saying, Fear not, Paul ; thou 
must be brought before Cesar : and 
lo, God hath given thee all them that 
sail with thee. 

25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: 
J" for I believe God, that it shall be 
even as it was told me. 

26 Howbeit, 'we must be cast upon 
a certain island. 

27 But when the fourteenth night 
was come, as we were driven up and 
down in Adria, about midnight the 
shipmen deemed that they drew near 
to some country; 

28 And sounded, and found it twen- 
ty fathoms : and when they had gone 
a little further, they sounded again, 
and found it fifteen fathoms. 

29 Then fearing lest they should 
have fallen upon rocks, they cast four 
anchors out of the stern, and wished 
for the day. 

30 And as the shipmen were about 
to flee out of the ship, when they had 
let down the boat into the sea, under 
colour as though they would have cast 
anchors out of the foreship, 

31 Paul said to the centurion, and 
to the soldiers. Except these abide in 
the ship, ye cannot be saved. 

32 Then the soldiers cut off the 
ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. 

33 And while the day was coming 
on, Paul besought them all to take 
meat, saying, This day is the four- 
teenth day that ye have tarried, and 
continued fasting, having taken no- 
thing. 

34 Wherefore I pray you to take 
some meat ; forthis is foryour health : 
for k there shall not a hair fall from 
the head of any of you. 

35 And when he had thus spoken, 
he took bread, and igave thanks to 
God in presence of them all ; and 
when he had broken it, he began to 
eat. 

36 Then were they all of good cheer, 
and they also took some meat. 

37 And we were in all in the ship 
two hundred threescore and sixteen 
'" souls.

A viper fasteneth on his hand. 

38 And when they had eaten enough, 
they lightened the ship, and cast out 
the wheat into the sea. 

39 And when it was day, they knew 
not the land : but they discovered a 
certain creek with a shore, into the 
which they were minded, if it wei'e 
possible, to thrust in the ship. 

40 And when they had || taken up 
the anchors, they committed them- 
selves unto the sea, and loosed the 
rudder-bands, and hoised up the main- 
sail to the wind, and made toward 
shore. 

41 And falling into a place where 
two seas met, "^they ran the ship a- 
ground ; and the forepart stuck fast, 
and remained unmoveable, but the 
hinder part was broken with the vio- 
lence of the waves. 

42 And the soldiers' counsel was to 
kill the prisoners, lest any of them 
should swim out, and escape. 

43 But the centurion, willing to save 
Paul, kept them from their purpose, 
and commandedthattheywhich could 
swim, should cast themselves first in- 
to the sea, and get to land : 

44 And the rest, some on boards, 
and some on broken pieces of the 
ship. And so it came to pass, "that 
they escaped all safe to land. 

CHAP. xxvm. 

1 Paul after his shipwreck is kindly entertained of 
the barbarians. 5 The viper on his hand hurteth 
him not. SHe healeth many diseases inthe island. 
1 1 They depart towards Rome. 17 He declareth 
to the Jews the cause of his coming. 24 AJter his 
preaching- some were persuaded, and some be- 
lieved not. 30 Yet he preacheth there two years. 

AND when they were escaped, 
then they knew that ^the island 
was called Melita, 

2 And the ^ barbarous people shew- 
ed us no little kindness : for they 
kindled a fire, and received us every 
one, because of the present rain, and 
because of the cold. 

3 And when Paul had gathered a 
bundle of sticks, and laid them on the 
fire, there came a viper out of, the 
heat, and fastened on his hand. 

4 And when the barbarians saw the 
venomous beast hang on his hand, 
they said among themselves. No 
doubt this man is a murderer, whom, 
though he hath escaped the sea, yet 
vengeance suffereth not to live. 

5 And he shook off the beast into 
the fire, and <= felt no harm.

PauTs arrival at Rome. CHAP 

6 Howbeit, they looked when he 
should have swollen, or fallen down 
dead suddenly : but after they had 
looked a great while, and saw no harm 
come to him, they changed their 
minds, and "^said that he was a god. 

7 In the same quarters were pos- 
sessions of the chief man of the 
island, whose name was Publius ; 
who received us, and lodged us three 
days courteously. 

8 And it came to pass, that the fa- 
ther of Publius lay sick of a fever, and 
of a bloody-flux : to whom Paul en- 
tered in, and Sprayed, and ("laid his 
hands on him, and healed him. 

9 So when this was done, others 
also which had diseases in the island, 
came, and were healed : 

10 Who also honoured us with ma- 
nyshonours; and when we departed, 
they laded us with such things as 
were necessar)\ 

11 And after three months we de- 
parted in a ship of Alexandria, which 
had wintered in the isle, whose sign 
was Castor and Pollux. 

12 And landing at Syracuse, we 
tarried there three days. 

13 And from thence we fetched a 
compass, and came to Rhegium : and 
after one day the south wind blew, 
and we came the next day to Puteoli : 

14 Where we found brethren, and 
were desired to tarry with them seven 
days: and so we went toward Rome. 

1 5 And from thence, when the bre- 
thren heard of us, they came to meet 
us as far as Appii-forum, and The 
Three Taverns; whom when Paul 
saw, he thanked God, and took 
courage. 

10 And when we came to Rome, 
the centurion delivered the prisoners 
to the captain of the guard : but 
''Paul was sufl'ered to dwell by him- 
self, with a soldier that kept him. 

17 And it came to pass, that after 
three days, Paul called the chief of the 
Jews together. And when they were 
come together, he said unto them, 
Men and brethren, 'though I have 
committed nothing against the peo- 

fle, or customs of our fathers, yet 
was I delivered prisoner fnjm Jeru- 
salem into the hands of the Romans : 

18 Who 'when they had examined 
me, would have let me go, because

there was no cause of death in me. 

19 But when the Jews spake against 
it, ™I was constrained to appeal unto 
Cesar ; not that I had aught to ac- 
cuse my nation of. 

20 For this cause therefore have I 
called for you, to see y&M, and to speak 
with?/OM: because that "for the hope 
of Israel I am bound with » this chain. 

21 And they said unto him, We 
neither received letters out of Judea 
concerning thee, neither any of the 
brethren that came shewed or spake 
any harm of thee. 

22 But we desire to hear of thee, 
what thou thinkest : for as concern- 
ing this sect, we know that every 
where Pit is spoken against. 

23 And when they had appointed 
him a day, there came many to him 
into his lodging: <Jto whom he ex- 
pounded and testified the kingdom 
of God, persuading them concerning 
Jesus, ''both out of the law of Mo- 
ses, and out of the prophets, from 
morning till evening. 

24 And ^some believed the things 
which were spoken, and some be- 
lieved not. 

25 And when the)' agreed not a- 
mong themselves, they departed, af- 
ter that Paul had spoken one word, 
Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias 
the prophet unto our fathers, 

26 Saying, ^Go unto this people, 
and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and 
shall not understand; and seeing ye 
shall see, and not perceive. 

27 For the heart of this people is 
waxed gross, and their ears are dull 
of hearing, and their eyes have they 
closed; lest they should see w'ith their 
eyes, and hear with </ieiV ears, and un- 
derstand with Me//- heart, and should 
be converted, and I should heal them. 

28 Be it know n therefore unto you, 
that the salvation of God is sent "^ unto 
the Gentiles, and ihatihey will hear it. 

29 And when he had said these 
words, the Jews departed, and had 
great reasoning among themselves. 

30 And Paul dwelt two whole years 
in his ow'n hired house, and received 
all that came in unto him, 

31 ^Preaching the kingdom of God, 
and teaching those things which con- 
cern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all 
confidence, no man forbidding him.

II The Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the ROMANS. 



CHAP. I. 

1 Paul commendeth his calling to the Romans, 9 
and his desire to come to them. 16 What his 
gospel is, and the righteousness which it shew- 
eth. 18 God is angry tcith all manner of sin, 
21 ^Vl^at were the sins of the Gentiles. 

PAUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, 
'1 called to be an apostle, i* sepa- 
rated unto the gospel of God, 

2 (c Which he had promised afore 
''by his prophets in the holy scrip- 
tures,) 

3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ 
our Lord, ^ which was ^made of the 
seed of David according to the flesh; 

4 And f ^declared to be the Son of 
God with power, according ^to the 
Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection 
from the dead: 

SBy whom i we have received grace 
and apostleship, Hfor ^ obedience to 
the faith among all nations, 'for his 
name : 

6 Among whom are ye also the 
called of Jesus Christ : 

7 To all that be in Rome, beloved 
of God, "'called to be saints: "Grace 
to you, and peace from God our Fa- 
ther, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

8 First, °I thank my God through 
Jesus Christ for you all, that Pyour 
faith is spoken of throughout the 
whole world. 

9 For iGod is my witness, ■'whom 
I serve ||with my spirit in the gos- 
pel of his Son, that ^ without ceasing 
I make mention of you always in my 
prayers. 

10 'Making request (if by any 
means now at length I might have 
a prosperous journey "by the will of 
God) to come unto you. 

11 For I long to see you, that ^I 
may impart unto you some spiritual 
gift, to the end ye maybe estabhshed ; 

12 That is, that I may be comforted 
together ||with you, by ythe mutual 
faith both of you and me. 

13 Now I would not have you ig- 
norant, brethren, that '^ oftentimes I 
purposed to come unto you (but 
a was let hitherto) that I might have 
some i" fruit || among you also, even 
as among other Gentiles. 

14 «=I am debtor both to the Greeks, 
and to the Barbarians ; both to the 
wise, and to the imwise.

15 So, as much as in me is, I am 
ready to preach the gospel to you 
that are at Rome also. 

16 For <'I am not ashamed of the 
gospel of Christ : for <= it i^ the power 
of God unto salvation to every one 
that believeth; fto the Jew first, and 
also to the Greek. 

17 For & therein is the righteousness 
of God revealed from faith to faith : 
as it is written, i^The just shall live 
by faith, 

1 8 ' For the wrath of God is revealed 
from heaven against all ungodliness, 
and unrighteousness of men, who 
hold the ti'uth in unrighteousness. 

19 Because ''that which may be 
known of God, is manifest || in them ; 
for ' God hath shewed it unto them. 

20 For ""the invisible things of him 
from the creation of the world are 
clearly seen,being understood by the 
things that are made, even his eter- 
nal power and Godhead ; || so that 
they are without excuse : 

21 Because that when they knew 
God, they glorified him not as God, 
neither were thankful, but "became 
vain in their imaginations, and their 
foolish heart was darkened. 

22 ° Professing themselves to be 
wise, they became fools ; 

23 And changed the glory of the 
incorruptible PGod into an image 
made like to corruptible man, and to 
birds, and four-footed beasts, and 
creeping things. 

24 1 Wherefore God also gave them 
up to uncleanness, through the lusts 
of their own hearts, ''to dishonour 
their own bodies ^ between them- 
selves : 

25 Who changed ' the truth of God 
"into a lie, and worshipped and serv- 
ed the creature 1| more than the Cre- 
ator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 

26 For this cause God gave them 
up unto ^vile affections. For even 
their women did change the natural 
use into that which is against na- 
ture : 

27 And likewise also the men, leav- 
ing the natural use of the woman, 
burned in their lust one toward an-, 
other ; men with men working that 
which is unseemly, and receiving in 

1098 



The corruption of the Gentiles. 

themselves that recompense of their 
error which was meet. 

28 And even as they did not Hke 
i|to retain God in ^/iezV knowledge, 
God gave them over to || a reprobate 
mind, to do those things 2; which are 
not convenient: 

29 Being filled with all unrighteous- 
ness, fornication, wickedness, covet- 
ousness, maliciousness ; full of envy, 
murder, debate, deceit, malignity; 
whisperers, 

30 Backbiters, haters of God, de- 
spiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of 
evil things, disobedient to parents, 

31 Without understanding, cove 
nant-breakers, i| withoutnatural affec 
tion, implacable, unmerciful : 

32 Who, ''knowing the judgment of 
God, that they which commit such 
things bare worthy of death; not only 
do the same, but yi^have pleasure in 
them that do them. 

CHAP. II. 

1 They that sin, tliou^h they condemn il in others, 
cannot excuse themselves, U and much less escape 
the judgment vf God, 9 whether they he Jews or 
Geiititet. 14 The Gentiles cannot escape, \7 nor 
■yet the Jews, 1^ whom their circumcision shall 
not profit, if they keep not the law. 

THEREFORE thou art ^ inexcus- 
able, O man, whosoever thou art, 
that judgest: "^for wherein thoujudg- 
est another, thou condemnest thyself; 
for thou that judgest, doest the same 
things. 

2 But we are sure that the judg- 
ment of God is according to truth, 
against tliem which commit such 
things. 

3 And thinkest thou this, O man, 
that judgest them which do such 
things, and doest the same, that thou 
shalt escape the judgment of God ? 

4 Or despisest thou ^the riches of 
his goodness, and "^ forbearance, and 
elong-suflering; ^not knowing that 
the goodness of God leadeth thee to 
repentance ? 

5 But after thy hardness and impe- 
nitent heart, etreasurest up unto thy- 
self wrath against the day of wrath, 
and revelation of the righteous judg- 
ment of God ; 

6 ''Who will render to every man 
according to his deeds : 

7 To them who by patient conti- 
nuance in well-doing, seek for glory, 
and honour, and immortality ; eternal 
life:

God's impartial judgment. 

8 But unto them that are conten- 
tious, and 'do not obey the truth, but 
obey unrighteousness ; indignation 
and wrath, 

9 Tribulation and anguish, upon 
every soul of man that doeth evil ; of 
the Jew I'fii-st, and also of the t Gen- 
tile; 

10 'But gloiy, honour, and peace, 
to ever}' man that worketh good ; to 
the Jew first, and also to the f Gen- 
tile ; 

1 1 For ""there is no respect of per- 
sons with God. 

12 For as many as have sinned 
without law, shall also perish with- 
out law : and as many as have sinned 
in the law, shall be judged by the 
law, 

13 (For "not the hearers of the law 
are just before God, but the doers of 
the law shall be justified. 

14 For when the Gentiles, which 
have not the law, do by nature the 
things contained in the law, these 
having not the law, are a law unto 
themselves. 

15 Which shew the work of the 
law written in their hearts, || their con- 
science also bearing witness, and 
their thoughts ||the mean while ac- 
cusing, or else excusing one another;) 

16 oin the day when God shall 
judge the secrets of men Pby Jesus 
Christ, 1 according to my gospel. 

17 Behold, ■'thou art called a Jew, 
and srestest in the law, 'and makest 
thy boast of God, 

18 And "knowest his will, and 
II ^approves! the things that are 
more excellent, being instructed out 
of the law, 

19 And >'art confident that thou 
thyself art a guide of the blind, a 
light of them which are in darkness, 

20 An instructor of the foolish, a 
teacher of babes, ^which hast the 
form of knowledge, and of the truth 
in the law : 

21 ^Thou therefore which teachest 
another, teachest thou not thyself? 
thou Ihatpreachest, a man should not 
steal, dost thou steal 1 

22 Thou that sayest, a man should 
not commit adultery, dost thou com- 
mit adultery? thou that abhorrest 
idols, ''dost thou commit sacrilege? 

23 Thou that ^makest thy boast of 

1099 



The Jews' prerogative. 

the law, through breaking the law 
dishonourest thou God? 

24 For the name of God is blas- 
phemed among the Gentiles, through 
you, as it is "^ written. 

25 ^For circumcision verily profit- 
eth, if thou keep the law ; but if thou 
be a breaker of the law, thy circum- 
cision is made uncircumcision. 

26 Therefore, ^f the uncircumcision 
keep the righteousness of the law, 
shall not his uncircumcision be count- 
ed for circumcision ? 

27 And shall not uncircumcision 
which is by nature, if it fulfil the 
law, gjudge thee, who by the letter 
and circumcision dost trangress the 
law? 

28 For ^he is not a Jew, which is 
one outwardly; neither is that cir- 
cumcision, which is outward in the 
flesh: 

29 But he is a Jew 'which is one 
inwardly; and ''circumcision is that 
of the heart, 'in the spirit, and not 
in the letter ; ""whose praise is not 
of men, but of God. 

CHAP. III. 

1 The Jews' prerogative : 3 which they have not

28 but all, without difference, by faith only : 31 
and yet the law is not abolished. 

""HAT advantage then hath the 
Jew ? or what profit is there 
of circumcision?

that a unto them were committed the

No fiesh justified by the law, 

derously reported, and as some affirm 
that we say) ''Let us do evil, that 
good may come ? whose damnation 
is just. 

9 What then? are we better than 
they ? No, in no wise : for we have 
before f proved both Jews and Gen- 
tiles, that 'they are all under sin ; 

10 As it is written, '"There is none 
righteous, no, not one : 

1 1 There is none that understand 
eth, there is none that seeketh after 
God. 

12 They are all gone out of the 
way, they are together become un- 
profitable : there is none that doeth 
good, no, not one. 

13 1^ Their throat is an open sepul- 
chi'e ; with their tongues they have 
used deceit ; °the poison of asps is 
under their lips : 

14 P Whose mouth is full of cursing 
and bitterness. 

15 q Their feet are swift to shed 
blood. 

16 Destruction and misery are in 
their ways : 

1 7 And the way of peace have they 
not known. 

18 ""There is no fear of God before 
their eyes. 

19 Now we know that what things 
soever ^the lavr saith, it saith to them 
who are under the law: that * every 
mouth may be stopped, and "all the 
world may become || guilty before 
God. 

20 Therefore ^by the deeds of the 
law, there shall no ffesh be justified 
in his sight : for y by the law is the 
knowledge of sin. 

21 But now 2 the righteousness of 
God without the law is manifested, 
a being witnessed by the law ''and 
the prophets ; 

22 Even the righteousness of God, 
which is '^by faith of Jesus Christ 
unto all, and upon all them that be- 
lieve ; for ''there is no difference :' 

23 For ^all have sinned, and come 
short of the glory of God ; 

24 Being justified freely ^by his 
grace, ^through the redemption that 
is in Christ Jesus : 

25 Wliom God hath liset forth ^to 
be a propitiation, through faith 'in 
his blood, to declare his righteous- 
ness ''for the II remission of 'sins that 

1100 



Abraham's faith imputed 

are past, through the forbearance of 
God ; 

26 To declare, I say, at this time 
his righteousness : that he might be 
just, and the justifier of him which 
beheveth in Jesus. 

27 m Where is boasting then ? It is 
excluded. By what law ? of works ? 
Nay ; but by the law of faith. 

28 Therefore we conclude, "that a 
man is justified by faith without the 
deeds of the law. 

29 Is he the God of the Jews only ? 
is he not also of the Gentiles ? Yes, 
of the Gentiles also : 

30 Seeing "it is one God which 
shall justify the circumcision by faith, 
and uncircumcision through I'aith. 

31 Do we then make void the law 
through faith ? God forbid : yea, we 
establish the law. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 Abraham' » faith tens imputed to him for right- 
eousitess, 10 before he teas circumcised. 13 By 
faith only he and his seed receired the promise. 
16 Abraham is the father vf all that believe. 
24 Our faith also sluiH be imputed to us for 
righteousness. 

WHAT shall we then say that 
* Abraham, our father as per- 
taining to the flesh, hath found ? 

2 For if Abraham were ''justified 
by works, he hath whereof io glory, 
but not before God. 

3 For what saith the scripture ? 
'Abraham believed God, and it was 
counted unto him for righteousness. 

4 Now ** to him that worketh, is the 
reward not reckoned of grace, but 
of debt. 

5 But to him that worketh not, but 
belicveth on him that justifieth ^the 
ungodly, his faith is counted for 
righteousness. 

6 Even as David also describeth 
the blessedness of the man unto 
whom God imputcth righteousness 
without works, 

7 Saying, 'Blessed are they whose 
iniquities are forgiven, and whose 
sins are covered. 

8 Blessed is the man to whom the 
Lord will not impute sin. 

9 Cometh this blessedness then up- 
on the circumcision only, or upon the 
uncircumcision also ? For we say 
that faith was reckoned to Abraham 
for righteousness. 

10 How was it then reckoned? 
when he was in circumcision, or in

uiicircumcision ? Not in circumci- 
sion, but in uncircumcision. 

11 And ghe received the sign of 
circumcision, a seal of the righteous- 
ness of the faith which he had yet be- 
ing uncircumcised : that ^he might 
be the father of all them that believe, 
though they be not circumcised, that 
righteousness might be imputed unto 
them also ; 

1 2 And the father of circumcision to 
them who are not of the circumcision 
only, but who also walk in the steps 
of that faith of our father Abraham, 
which he had being yet uncircum- 
cised. 

13 For the promise that he should 
be the 'heir of the world was not to 
Abraham, or to his seed, through the 
law, but through the righteousness of 
faith. 

14 For ^'if they which are of the 
law be heirs, faith is made void, and 
the promise made of none effect. 

15 Because 'the law worketh wrath: 
for where no law is, there is no trans- 
gression. 

16 Therefore it is of faith, that it 
might be ""by grace ; "to the end the 
promise might be sure to all the seed : 
not to that only which is of the law, 
but to that also which is of the faith of 
Abraham, ''who is the father of us all, 

17 (As it is written, pI have made 
thee a father of many nations) || be- 
fore him whom he believed, ei"e7i God, 
1 who quickeneth the dead, and calleth 
those ''things which be not, as though 
they were. 

18 Who against hope believed in 
hope, that he might become the fa- 
ther of many nations ; according to 
that which was spoken, ^So shall 
thy seed be. 

19 And being not weak in faith, 
Mie considered not his own body now 
dead, when he was about a hundred 
years old, neither yet the deadness 
of Sarah's womb. 

20 He staggered not at the pro- 
mise of God through unbelief; but 
was strong in faith, giving glory to 
God ; 

21 And being fully persuaded, that 
what he had promised, "he was able 
also to perform. 

22 And therefore it was imputed to 
him for righteousness. 

1101 



The advantages and extent 

23 Now, ^it was not written for his 
sake alone, that it was imputed to 
him ; 

24 But for us also, to whom it shall 
be imputed, if we believe yon him 
that raised up Jesus our Lord from 
the dead, 

25 2 Who was delivered for our of- 
fences, and ^was raised again for 
our justification. 

CHAR V. 

1 Being justified by faith, we have peace with God, 
2 andjoy in our hope, 8 that since we were recon- 
ciled by his blood, when we were enemies, 10 loe 
shall much more be saved being reconciled. 12 
As sin and death came by Adam, IT so much 
mo^-e righteousness and life by Jesus Christ. 20 
Where si7i abounded, grace did superabound. 

THEREFORE ^ being justified 
by faith, we have ^i peace with 
God, through our Lord Jesus Christ : 

2 '^By whom also we have access by 
faith into this grace <J wherein we 
stand, and <= rejoice in hope of the 
glory of God. 

3 And not only so, but ''we glory in 
tribulations also ; s knowing that tri- 
bulation worketh patience ; 

4 ''And patience, experience ; and 
experience, hope : 

5 'And hope makethnot ashamed : 
1^ because the love of God is shed 
abroad in our hearts by the Holy 
Ghost which is given unto us. 

6 For when we were yet without 
strength, H in due time ' Christ died 
for the ungodly. 

7 For scarcely for a righteous man 
will one die : yet peradventure for a 
good man some would even dare to 
die. 

8 But '"God commendeth his love 
toward us, in that while we were yet 
sinners, Christ died for us. 

9 Much more then, being now jus- 
tified " by his blood, we shall be saved 
ofrom wrath through him. 

10 For P if when we were enemies, 
<3 we were reconciled to God by the 
death of his Son ; much more, being 
reconciled, we shall be saved ''by his 
life. 

1 1 And not only so, but we also 
^joy in God, through our Lord Jesus 
Christ, by whom we have now re- 
ceived the II atonement. 

12 Wherefore as 'by one man sin 
entered into the world, and "death by 
sin ; and so death passed upon all 
men, || for that ail have sinned :

of justification by faith. 

13 (For until the law, sin was in 
the world : but ^sin is not imputed 
when there is no law. 

14 Nevertheless, death reigned from 
Adam to Moses, even over them that 
had not sinned after the similitude 
of Adam's transgression, y who is the 
figure of him that was to come. 

15 But not as the offence, so also 
is the free gift. For if through the 
ofiience of one many be dead, much 
more the grace of God, and the gift 
by grace, which is by one man, Jesus 
Christ, hath abounded ^unto many. 

16 And not as it was by one that 
sinned, so is the gift. For the judg- 
ment was by one to condemnation, 
but the free gift is of many offences 
unto justification. 

17 For if II by one man's offence 
death reigned by one ; much more 
they which receive abundance of 
grace, and of the gift of righteous- 
ness, shall reign in life by one, Jesus 
Christ.) 

18 Therefore, as || by the offence of 
one judgment came upon all men to 
condemnation, even so || by the right- 
eousness of one the free gift came 
''upon all men unto justification of 
Hfe. 

1 9 For as by one man's disobedience 
many were made sinners, so by the 
obedience of one shall many be made 
righteous. 

20 Moreover "^the law entered, that 
the offence might abound. But where 
sin abounded, grace did much <=more 
abound : 

21 That as sin hath reigned unto 
death, even so might grace reign 
through righteousness unto eternal 
life, by Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 We may not live in sin, 2 for we are dead unto ■ 
it, 3 as appeareth by our baptism. 12 Let not

for that death is the wages of sin.

as Christ was raised up from the dead 
by sthe glory of the Father, ^ even so 
we also should walk in new^ness of 
life. 

5 'For if we have been planted to 
gelher in the likeness of his death, 
we shall be also in the likeness of his 
resurrection : 

6 Knowing this, that "^our old man 
is crucified with him, that 'the body 
of sin might be destroyed, that hence- 
forth we should not serve sin. 

7 For m he that is dead is f freed 
from sin. 

8 Now, " if we be dead with Christ, 
we believe that we shall also live 
Avith him: 

9 Knowing that° Christ, beingraised 
from the dead, dieth no more; death 
hath no more dominion over him 

10 For in that he died, Phe died 
unto sin once: but in that he liveth, 
ihe liveth unto God. 

11 Likewise reckon ye also your 
selves to be ■'dead indeed unto sin, 
but s alive unto God through Jesus 
Christ our Lord. 

12 'Let not sin therefore reign in 
your mortal body, that ye should obey 
it in the lusts thereof. 

1 3 Neither yield ye your " members 
as t instruments of unrighteousness 
unto sin: but '^ yield yourselves unto 
God, as those that are alive from the 
dead, and your members as instru- 
ments of righteousness unto God : 

14 For >'sin shall not have dominion 
over you : for ye are not under the

15 What then? shall we sin, ^be- 
cause we arc not under the law, but 
under grace? God forbid. 

16 Know ye not, that ^'to whom ye 
yield yourselves servants to obey, his 
servants ye are to whom ye obey ; 
whether of sin unto death, or of obe- 
dience unto righteousness? 

17 But God be thanked, that ye 
were the servants of sin : but ye have 
obeyed from the heart ''that form of 
doctrine f which was delivered you 

18 Being then "^made free from sin, 
ye became the servants of righteous- 
ness.

because of the infirmity of your flesh:

Death the wages of sin 
servants to uncleanness and to ini- 
quity, unto iniquitjr; even so now 
yield your members servants to right- 
eousness, unto holiness. 

20 For when ye were ^\h& servants 
of sin, ye were free f from righteous- 
ness. 

21 <="Wliat fruit had ye then in those 
things whereof ye are now ashamed? 
for '"the end of those things is death. 

22 But now s being made free from 
sin, and become servants to God, ye 
have your fruit unto holiness, and the 
end everlasting life. 

23 For ''the wages of sin is death: 
but 'the gift of God is eternal life, 
through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

CHAP. VH. 

1 No law Itatli poicer over a man longer than lie 
liveth. 4 But tee are dead to the law. 7 Yet is 
not the laic sin, 12 hut holij, just, good, 1 6 as / 
achionledge, tcho am grieved because 1 cannot 
keep it. 

KNOW ye not, brethren, (for I 
speak to them that know the 
law) how that the law hath dominion 
over a man as long as he liveth? 

2 For ^the woman w^hich hath a 
husband, is bound by the law to her 
husband so long as he liveth; but if 
the husband be dead, she is loosed 
from the law of her husband. 

3 So then, ''if while her husband 
liveth, she be married to another man, 
she shall be called an adulteress: but 
if her husband be dead, she is free 
from that law ; so that she is no adul- 
teress, though she be married to an- 
other man. 

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also 
are become =dead to the law by the 
body of Christ ; that ye should be 
married to another, even to him who 
is raised from the dead, that we should 
d bring forth fruit unto God. 

5 For when we were in the flesh, 
the f motions of sins, which were by 
the law, ^did work in our members 
'"to bring forth fruit unto death: 

But now we are delivered from 

the law, II that being dead wherein 

we were held ; that we should serve 

ein newness of spirit, and not in the 

oldness of the letter. 

7 What shall we say then? Is the 

aw sin? God forbid. Nay, ^1 had 

not known sin, but by the law: for 

I had not known i| lust, except the 

law had said, 'Thou shalt not covet. 

1103 



The law of sin in our members. 

8 But '^sin, taking occasion by the 
commandment, wi'ought in me all 
manner of concupiscence. Fori with- 
out the law sin loas dead. 

9 For I was alive without the law 
once : but when the commandment 
came, sin revived, and I died. 

10 And the commandment "i which 
ivas ordained to life, I found to be 
unto death. 

11 For sin, taking occasion by the 
commandment, deceived me, and by 
it slew me. 

12 Wherefore "the law is holy, and 
the commandment holy, and just, and 
good. 

13 Was then that which is good 
made death unto me? God forbid. 
But sin, that it might appear sin, 
working death in me by that which 
is good; that sin by the command- 
ment might become exceeding sinful 

14 For we know that the law is 
spiritual: but I am carnal, °sold un 
der sin. 

15 For that which I do, I fallow 
not: for Pwhat I would, that do I 
not ; but what I hate, that do I. 

16 If then I do that which I would 
not, I consent unto the law that it is 
good. 

17 Now then it is no more I that do 
it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 

18 For I know that qin me (that is, 
in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: 
for to will is present with me ; but 
how to perform that which is good, 
I find not. 

19 For the good that I would, I do 
not ; but the evil which I would not 
that I do. 

20 Now if I do that I would not, it 
is no more I that do it, but sin that 
dwelleth in me. 

211 find then a law, that when I 
would do good, evil is present with 
me. 

22 For I ^delight in the law of God, 
after ^ the inward man : 

23 But *I see another law in "my 
members warring against the law of 
my mind, and bringing me into cap 
tivity to the law of sin which is in my 
members. 

24 O wretched man that I am ! who 
shall deliver me from || the body of 
this death ? 

25 ^I thank God, through Jesus

fVorhs of the flesh and Spirit, 

Christ our Lord. So then, with the 
mind I myself serve the law of God ; 
but with the flesh the law of sin. 
CHAP. VIII. 

1 They that are in Christ, and live according to 
the Spirit, are free from condemnation. 5, 13 
Wliat harm cometh of the flesh, 6, 14 and what 
good of the Spirit : 17 and what of being God's 
child, 19 whose glorious deliverance all things 
long for, 29 was beforehand decreed front God. 
38 What can sever as from his love ! 

^i THERE is therefore now no con- 
-*• demnation to them which are in 

Christ Jesus, who ''^walk not after the 

flesh, but after the Spirit. 

2 For "^the law of ^the Spirit of life 
in Christ Jesus, hath made me free 
from "ithe law of sin and death. 

3 For ewhat the law could not do, 
in that it was weak through the flesh, 
fGod sending his own Son in the 
likeness of sinful flesh, and || for sin, 
condemned sin in the flesh : 

4 That the righteousness of the law 
might be fulfilled in us, § who walk not 
after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 

5 For hthey that are after the flesh, 
do mind the things of the flesh : but 
they that are after the Spirit, 'the 
things of the Spirit. 

6 For "^ f to be carnally minded is 
death; but f tobe spiritually minded 
IS life and peace: 

7 Because f 'the carnal mind is 
enmity against God : for it is not sub- 
ject to the law of God, " neither in- 
deed can be. 

8 So then they that are in the flesh 
cannot please God. 

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but 
in the Spirit, if so be that "the Spirit 
of God dwell in you. Now, if any 
man have not "the Spirit of Christ, 
he is none of his. 

10 And if Christ be in you, the body 
is dead because of sin ; but the Spirit 
is life because of righteousness. 

11 But if the Spirit of Phim that 
raised up Jesus from the dead dwell 
in you, q he that raised up Christ from 
the dead shall also quicken yourmor- 
tal bodies || by his Spirit that dwel- 
leth in j^ou. 

12 ''Therefore, brethren, we are 
debtors not to the flesh, to live after 
the flesh. 

13 For ^ if ye live after the flesh, ye 
shall die: but if ye through the Spi- 
rit do t mortify the deeds of the body, 
ye shall live. 

1104 



The ground and assurance 

14 For las many as are led by the 
Spirit of God, thev are the sons of 
God. 

15 For ^ye have not received the 
spirit of bondage again xto fear ; but 
ye have received the ^ Spirit of adop- 
tion, whereby we cr}-,aAbba, Father. 

16 ''The Spirit itself beareth wit- 
ness with our spirit, that we are the 
children of God : 

17 And if children, then heirs: 
"= heirs of God, and joint-heirs with; 
Christ ; '^if so be that we sufter with! 
him, that we may be also glorified' 
together. 

18 For I reckon, that ^the suffer- 1 
ings of this present time are not wor- 
thy to he compared with the glory 
which shall be revealed in us. 

19 For *^the earnest expectation of; 
the creature waiteth for the s mani- 
festation of the sons of God. 

20 For h the creature was made sub-' 
ject to vanity, not willingly, but by 
reason of him who iiath subjected 
the same in hope ; 

21 Because the creature itself also 
shall be delivered from the bondage 
of corruption, into the glorious liberty 
of the children of God. 

22 For we know that || the whole 
creation 'groaneth, and travaileth in 
pain together until now : 

23 And not only they, but ourselves 
also, which have ''the first-fruits of 
the Spirit, 'even we ourselves groan 
within ourselves, ""waiting for the 
adoption, to wit, the "redemption of 
our body. 

24 For we are saved by hope. But 
"hope that is seen, is not hope : for 
what a man seeth, why doth he yet 
hope for? 

25 But ifwe hope for that we see not, 
then do we w ith patience wait for it. 

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth 
our infirmities: for I' we know not what 
we should pray for as we ought: but 
<ithe Spirit itself maketh intercession 
for us with groanings which cannot 
be uttered. 

27 And ' he that searchcth the hearts 
knoweth what is the mind of the Spi- 
rit, II because he maketh intercession 
for the saints, * according to the will 
o/God. 

28 And we know that all things 
work together for good, to them that

God, and ''the promises; 

5 1 Whose are the fathers, and ™of 
whom, as concerning the flesh, Christ 
came, "who is over all, God blessed 
for ever. Amen. 

6 °Not as though the word of God 
hath taken none effect. For Pthey 
are not all Israel, which are of Is- 
rael: 

7 q Neither, because they are the 
seed of Abraham, are they all chil- 
dren : but. In ■'Isaac shall thy seed 
be called. 

8 That is, They which are the chil- 
dren of the flesh, these are not the 
children of God; but «the children 
of the promise are counted for the 
seed. 

9 For this is the word of promise, 
*At this time will I come, and Sarah 
shall have a son. 

10 And not oi^y thi^ • out when 
" Rebecca also had conceived by one, 
even by our father Isaac, 

11 (For the children being not yet 
born, neither having done any good 
or evil, that the purpose of God, ac- 
cording to election might stand, not 
of works, but of -''him that calleth:) 

12 It was said unto her, y The || eld-

13 As it is written, ^ Jacob have I 
loved, but Esau have I hated. 

14 What shall we say then? ^Is 
there unrighteousness with God ? 
God forbid. 

15 For he saith to Moses, ^I will 
have mercy on whom I will have 
mercy, and I will have compassion 
on whom I will have compassicT. 

16 So then, it is not of him that 
willeth, nor of him that runneth, but 
of God that sheweth mercy. 

17 For <=the scripture ^aith unto 
Pharaoh, "^Even for this same pur- 
pose have I raised thee up, that I 
might shew my power in tkee, and 
that my name might be declared 
throughout all the earth. 

18 Therefore hath he mercy on 
whom he will have mercy, and whom 
he will he hardeneth.

on wliom he will. 

19 Thou wilt say then unto me, 
Why doth he yet find fault ? for 
ewho hath resisted his will? 

20 Nay but, O man, who art thou 
that II repliest against God ? ^ Shall the 
thing formed say to him that formed 
it, Why hast thou made me thus 1 

21 Hath not the spotter power over 
the clay, of the same lump to make 
hone vessel unto honour, and another 
unto dishonour? 

22 What if God, willing to shew 
his wrath, and to make his power 
known, endured with much long-suf- 
fering Uhe vessels of wrath P fitted 
to destruction : 

23 And that he might make known 
Hhe riches of his glory on the vessels 
of mercy, which he had ™ afore pre- 
pared unto glory, 

24 Even us, whom he hath called, 
" not of the Jews only, but also of the 
Gentiles ? 

25 As he saith also in Osee, °I will 
call them My people, which were not 
my people ; and her beloved, which 
was not beloved. 

26 P And it shall come to pass, that 
in the place where it was said unto 
them. Ye are not my people ; there 
shall they be called. The children of 
the living God. 

27 Esaias also crieth concerning Is- 
rael, q Though the number of the 
children of Israel be as the sand of 
the sea, "■ a remnant shall be saved : 

28 For he will finish || the work, and 
cut it short in righteousness: ^be- 
cause a short work will the Lord 
make upon the earth. 

29 And as Esaias said before, '■Ex- 
cept the Lord of Sabaoth had left us 
a seed, "we had been asSodoma,and 
been made like unto Gomorrah. 

30 What shall we say then? -^That 
the Gentiles which followed not af- 
ter righteousness, have attained to 
righteousness, >even the righteous- 
ness which is of faith : 

31 But Israel, ^which folloM'^ed af- 
ter the law of righteousness, ^hath 
not attained to the law of righteous- 
ness. 

32 Wherefore ? Because they sought 
it not by faith, but as it were by the 
works of the law. For ^ they stum 
bled at that stumbling-stone ; 

33 As it is written, ^ Behold, I lay 

1106 



The necessity of preaching 

in Sion a stumbling-stone, and rock of 
offence: and "^whosoever believeth on 
him shall not be || ashamed. 
CHAP. X. 

5 The scripture skeicetit the difference betwixt the 
righteousness of the laic, and this of faith, 11 
and tltat all, both Jeic and Gentile, that believe, 
shall notbe confounded, 18 and lliat the Gentiles 
shall receive the word and beliete. 19 Israel 
was not ignorant of these things. 

BRETHREN, my heart's desire 
and prayer to God for Israel is, 
that they might be saved. 

2 For 1 bear them record ^that they 
have a zeal of God, but not accord- 
ing to knowledge. 

3 For they, being ignorant of *> God's 
righteousness, and going about to es- 
tablish their own "^righteousness, have 
not submitted themselves unto the 
righteousness of God. 

4 For ''Christ is the end of the law 
for righteousness to every one that 
believeth. 

5 For JNIoses describeth the righte- 
ousness which is of the law, «That 
the man which doeth those things 
shall live by them. 

6 But the righteousness which is of 
faith speaketh on this wise, ^Say not 
in thy heart. Who shall ascend in- 
to heaven ? (that is, to bring Christ 
down from above ;) 

7 Or, Who shall descend into the 
deep ? (that is, to bring up Christ 
again from the dead.) 

8 But what saith it ? eThe word is 
nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in 
thy heart : that is, the word of faidi, 
which we preach : 

y That ''if thou shall confess with 
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt 
believe in thy heart that God hath 
raised him from the dead, thou shalt 
be saved. 

10 For with the heart, man believ- 
eth unto righteousness ; and with the 
mouth, confession is made unto sal- 
vation. 

11 For the scripture saith, 'Who- 
soever believeth on him shall not be 
ashamed. 

12 For ''there is no difference be- 
tween the Jew and the Greek : for 
'the same Lord over all, "'is rich un- 
to all that call upon him. 

13 "For whosoever shall call "^up- 
on the name of the Lord shall be 
saved. 

14 How then shall they call on him

to t/ie Gentiles inferred. 
in whom they have not believed 1 jmd 
how shall they believe in him of whom 
they have not heard ? and how shall 
they hear P without a preacher ? 

15 And how shall they preach, ex- 
cept they be sent? as it is written, 
iHow beautiful are the feet of them 
that preach the gospel of peace, and 
bring glad tidings of good things ! 

16 But ■'they have not all obeyed 
the gospel. For Esaias saith, ^Lord, 
who hath believed f our || report ? 

17 So then, faith cometh by hearing, 
and hearing by the word of God. 

18 But I say. Have they not heard ? 
Yes verily, * their sound went into all 
the eardi, " and their words unto tlie 
ends of the world. 

19 But I say, Did not Israel know? 
First, Moses saith, -^I will provoke 
you to jealousy by them that are no 
people, and by a y foolish nation I 
will anger you. 

20 But Esaias is veiy bold, and 
saith, ^I was found of them that 
sought me not ; I was made manifest 
unto them that asked not after me. 

21 But to Israel he saith, ^^All day 
long I have stretched forth my hands 
unto a disobedient and gainsaying 
people. 

CHAP. XL 

1 God hath not cast off all Israel. 7 Some were 
elected, though the rest were hardened. 16 
There is hope of their conversion. 18 TTie 
Gentiles maxj not insult upon them : 26 for 
there is a promise of their salvation. 33 God's 
judgments are unsearchable. 

I SAY then, i^Hath God cast away 
his people ? God forbid. For ''I 
also am an Israelite, of the seed of 
Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 

2 God hath not cast away his peo- 
ple which <^he foreknew. Wot ye not 
what the scripture saith f of Elias? 
how he maketh intercession to God 
against Israel, saying, 

3 'I Lord, they have killed thy pro- 
phets, and digged down thine altars ; 
and I am left alone, and they seek 
my life. 

4 But w hat saith the answer of God 
unto him? "=1 have reserved to my- 
self seven thousand men, who have 
not bowed the knee to the image of 
Baal. 

5 fEven so then at this present time 
also there is a remnant according to 
the election of grace. 

6 And eif bv grace, then is it no 

1107 



The Gentiles are cautioned 
more of works : otherwise grace is no 
more grace. But if it he of works, 
then is it no more grace : otherwise 
work is no more work. 

7 What then? h Israel hath not ob- 
tained that which he seeketh for ; but 
the election hath obtained it, and the 
rest were || blinded, 

8 (According as it is written, 'God 
hath given them the spirit of H slum- 
ber, keyes that they should not see, 
and ears that they should not hear ;) 
unto this day. 

9 And David saith, ' Let their table 
be made a snare, and a trap, and a 
stumbling-block, and a recompense 
unto them : 

10 ""Let their eyes be darkened, 
that they may not see, and bow down 
their back always. 

Ill say then, Have they stumbled 
that they should fall ? God forbid : 
but rather ^^ through their fall salva- 
tion is come unto the Gentiles, for to 
provoke them to jealousy. 

12 Now, if the fall of them he the 
riches of the world, and the || dimi- 
nishing of them ths riches of the 
Gentiles ; how mucJi mors their ful- 
ness? 

13 For I speak to you Gentiles, in- 
asmuch as "I am the apostle of the 
Gentiles, I magnify mine office : 

14 If by any means I may provoke 
to emulation them which are my flesh, 
and P might save some of them. 

15 For if the casting away of them 
he the reconciling of the world, what 
shall the receiving of them he, but 
life from the dead ? 

16 For if qthe first fruit he holy, the 
lump is also holy: and if the root he 
holy, so are the branches. 

17 And if "■ some of the branches be 
broken off, ^and thou, being a wild 
olive-tree, wert grafFed in || among 
them, and with them partakest of the 
root and fatness of the ohve-tree ; 

18 '^ Boast not against the branches. 
But if thou boast, thou bearest not 
the root, but the root thee. 

19 Thou wilt say then. The branch- 
es were broken off, that I might be 
graffed in. 

20 Well ; because of unbelief they 
were broken off, and thou standest 
by faith. "Be not high-minded, but 
'fear:

not to insult the Jews. 

21 For if God spared not the na- 
tural branches, take heed lest he also 
spare not thee. 

22 Behold therefore the goodness 
and severity of God : on them which 
fell, severity ; but toward thee, good- 
ness, yif thou continue in his good- 
ness : otherwise ^'thou also shalt be 
cut off. 

23 And they also, ^ if they abide not 
still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for 
God is able to graff them in again. 

24 For if thou wert cut out of the 
olive-tree which is wild by nature, 
and wert graffed contrary to nature 
into a good olive-tree ; how much 
more shall these, which be the na- 
tural branches, be graffed into their 
own olive-tree ? 

25 For I would not, brethren, that 
ye should be ignorant of this mystery, 
(lest ye should be ''wise in your own 
conceits) that <= |1 blindness in part is 
happened to Israel, '^ until the fulness 
of the Gentiles be come in. 

26 And so all Israel shall be saved ; 
as it is written, ^ There shall come 
out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall 
turn away ungodliness from Jacob : 

27 ^For this is my covenant unto 
them, when I shall take away their 
sins. 

28 As concerning the gospel, they 
are enemies for your sakes : but as 
touching the election, they are s be- 
loved for the fathers' sakes. 

29 For the gifts and calling of God 
are ^ without repentance. 

30 For as ye 'in times past have not 
II believed God, yet have now obtain- 
ed mercy through their unbelief; 

31 Even so have these also now not 
II believed, that through your mercy 
they also may obtain mercy. 

32 For k God hath || concluded them 
all in unbelief, that he might have 
mercy upon all. 

33 O the depth of the riches both of 
the wisdom and knowledge of God ! 
' how unsearchable are his judgments, 
and '"his ways past finding out ! 

34 " For who hath known the mind 
of the Lord ? or owho hath been his 
counsellor ?

and it shall be recompensed unto him

14 ? Bless them which persecute 
you; bless, and curse not. 

15 "i Rejoice with them that do re- 
joice, and weep with them that weep. 

16 ijBe of the same mind one 
toward another. ^Mind not high 
things, but 1| condescend to men of 
low estate. 'Be not wise in your own 
conceits. 

17 ""Recompense to no man evil 
for evil. "Provide things honest in 
the sight of all men. 

18 If it be possible, as much as 
lieth in you, "live peaceably with all 
men. 

19 Dearly beloved, P avenge not 
yourselves, but rather give place un- 
to wrath : for it is written, qVen- 
geance is mine ; I will repay, saith 
the Lord. 

20 r Therefore, if thine enemy hun- 
ger, feed him ; if he thirst, give him 
drink : for in so doing thou shalt 
heap coals of fire on his head. 

21 Be not overcome of evil, but 
overcome evil with good. 

CHAP. xm. 

1 Svbjectum, and many other duties, toe owe to 
the magistrates. 8 Loce is the fulfilling of the 
laic. 11 Gluttony and drunkenness, and the 
tcorks of darkness, are out of season in the time 
of the gospel. 

LET every soul ^be subject unto 
the higher powers. For "there 
is no power but of God : the powers 
that be, are || ordained of God. 

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth 
<= the power, resisteth the ordinance 
of God : and they that resist shall 
receive to themselves damnation. 

3 For rulers arc not a terror to good 
works, but to the evil. Wilt thou 
then not be afraid of the power? ^do 
that which is good, and thou shalt 
have praise of the same : 

4 For he is the minister of God to 
thee for good. But if thou do that 
which is evil, be afraid ; for he bear- 
eth not the sword in vain : for he is 
the minister of God, a revenger to 
execute wrath upon him that doeth 
evil. 

5 Wherefore ^ye must needs be 
subject, not only ibr wrath, ^but also 
for conscience' sake. 

6 For, for this cause pay ye tribute 
also : for they are God's ministers, 
attending continually upon this veiy 
thing.

Against uncharitable judgment. 

7 g Render therefore to all their 
dues: tribute to whom tribute is 
due ; custom to whom custom ; fear 
to whom fear; honour to whom ho- 
nour. 

S Owe no man any thing, but to 
love one another: for ''he tliat lov- 
eth another hath fulfilled the law. 

9 For this, ' Thou shalt not commit 
adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou 
shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear 
false witness, Thou shalt not covet; 
and if there he any other command- 
ment, it is briefly comprehended in 
this saying, namely, i^Thou shalt 
love thy neighbour as thyself. 

10 Love worketh no ill to his 
neighbour: therefore Uove is the ful- 
filling of the law. 

11 And that, knowing the time, 
that now it is high time ^ to awake 
out of sleep: for now is our salvation 
nearer than when we beheved. 

12 The night is far spent, the day 
is at hand: "let us therefore cast off" 
the works of darkness, and "let us 
put on the armour of light.

kenness, rnot in chambering and 
wantonness, ^not in strife and en-

Chrisfs right to our best services. 

6 He that f ||regardeth the day, re- 
gardeth it unto the Lord : and he 
that regardeth not the day, to the 
Lord he doth not regard it. He that 
eateth, eateth to the Lord, for ghe 
giveth God thanks ; and he that 
eateth not, to the Lord he eateth 
not, and giveth God thanks. 

7 For i^none of us liveth to him- 
self, and no man dieth to himself. 

8 For whether we live, we live unto 
the Lord; and whether we die, we 
die unto the Lord : whether we live 
therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 

9 For 'to this end Christ both 
died, and rose, and revived, that he 
might be ^Lord both of the dead 
and living. 

10 But why dost thou judge thy 
brother? or why dost thou set at 
nought thy brother? for 'we shall 
all stand before the judgment-seat of 
Christ. 

11 For it is written, '^As I live, 
saith the Lord, every knee shall bow 
to me, and every tongue shall con- 
fess to God. 

12 So then "every one of us shall 
give account of himself to God. 

13 Let us not therefore judge one 
another any more : but judge this ra- 
ther, that °no man put a stumbling- 
block, or an occasion to fall in his 
brother's way. 

14 I know, and am persuaded by 
the Lord Jesus, Pthat there is no- 
thing f unclean of itself: but ito 
him that esteemeth any thing to be 
f unclean, to him it is unclean. 

15 But if thy brother be grieved 
with thy meat, now walkest thou not 
t charitably. '' Destroy not him with 
thy meat, for whom Christ died. 

16 «Let not then your good be evil 
spoken of: 

17 t For the kingdom of God is not 
meat and drink, but righteousness, 
and peace, and joy in the Holy 
Ghost. 

18 For he that in these things serv- 
eth Christ, " is acceptable to God, and 
approved of men. 

19 -''Let us therefore follow after 
the things which make for peace, and 
things wherewith yone may edify 
another. 

20 zFor meat destroy not the work 
of God. a All things indeed are pure ; 

1110 



The strong must hear with the weak. 

^hut it is evil for that man who eat- 
eth with offence. 

21 It is good neither to eat <= flesh, 
nor to drink wine, nor any thing 
whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is 
offended, or is made weak. 

22 Hast thou faith ? have it to thy- 
seff before God. ^ jjappy is he that 
condemneth not lumself in that thing 
which he allovveth. 

23 And he that || doubteth is damn- 
ed if he eat, because he eateth not of 
faith : for « whatsoever is not of faith

1 Tilt strong miisl bear uitli the weak. 2 We may 
not please ourselves, 'ifor Christ did not so, 1 
but receive one the other, as Christ did us all, 8 
both Jews 9 and Geiitiles. 15 Paul excuselh his 
writing, 28 and promiseth to see them, 30 and 
requesteth their prayers. 

WE ''then that are strong ought 
to bear the 'Mnfirmities of the 
weak, and not to please ourselves. 

2 '=Let every one of us please his 
neighbour for his good ''to edifica- 
tion. 

3 "For even Christ pleased not him- 
self; but, as it is written, ''The re- 
proaches of them that reproached 
thee fell on me. 

4 For g whatsoever things were writ- 
ten aforetime, were written for our 
learning, that we through patience 
and comfort of the scriptures might 
have hope. 

5 hNow the God of patience and 
consolation grant you to be like-mind- 
ed one toward another || according 
to Christ Jesus : 

6 That ye may 'with one mind and 
one mouth glorify God, even the Fa- 
ther of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

7 Wherefore i^ receive ye one an- 
other, 'as Christ also received us, to 
the glory of God. 

8 Now I say that ""Jesus Christ was 
a minister of the circumcision for the 
truth of God, "to confirm the pro- 
mises made unto the fathers : 

9 And "that the Gentiles might 
glorify God for his mercy ; as it is 
written, pFor this cause I will con- 
fess to thee among the Gentiles, and 
sing unto thy name. 

10 And again he saith, i Rejoice, ye 
Gentiles, with his people. 

11 And again, ■■ Praise the Lord, all 
ye Gentiles ; and laud him, all ye 
people.

The extensiveness of Paul's preaching. 

12 And again Esaias saith, ^ There 
shall be a root of Jesse, and he that 
shall rise to reign over the Gentiles ; 
in him shall the Gentiles trust. 

13 Now the God of hope fill you 
with all tjoy and peace in believing, 
that ye may abound in hope, through 
the power of the Holy Ghost. 

1 4 And " I myself also am persuaded 
of you, my brethren, that ye also are 
full of goodness, '■'^ filled with all know- 
ledge, able also to admonish one an- 
other. 

15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have 
written the more boldly unto you in 
some sort, as putting you in mind, 
^ because of the grace that is given to 
me of God, 

16 That jI should be the minister 
of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, min- 
istering the gospel of God, that the 
II z offering up of the Gentiles might 
be acceptable, being sanctified by the 
Holy Ghost. 

17 1 have therefore whereof I may 
glory through Jesus Christ, "in those 
things which pertain to God. 

18 For I will not dare to speak of 
any of those things i^ which Christ 
hath not wrought by me, <^to make 
the Gentiles obedient, by word and 
deed, 

19'' Through mighty signs and won- 
ders, by the power of the Spirit of 
God ; so that from Jerusalem, and 
round about unto Illyricum, I have 
fully preached the gospel of Christ. 

20 Yea, so have I strived to preach 
the gospel, not where Christ was 
named, '^lest I should build upon an- 
other man's foundation : 

21 But as it is written, ''To whom 
he was not spoken of, they shall see : 
and they that have not heard shall 
understand. 

22 For which cause also si have 
been || much hindered from coming 
to you. 

23 But now having no more place 
in these parts, and •! having a great 
desire these many yearsto come unto 
you ; 

24 "Whensoever I take my journey 
into Spain, I will come to you : for I 
trust to see you in my journey, 'anu 
to be brought on my way thitherward 
by you, if first I be somewhat filled 
f with vour company. 

1111 



Paul requesteth their prayers. 

25 But now '^I go unto Jerusalem 
to minister unto the saints. 

26 For lit hath pleased them of 
Macedonia and Achaia to make a 
certain contribution for the poor 
saints which are at Jerusalem. 

27 It hath pleased them verily ; and 
their debtors they are. For '"if the 
Gentiles have been made partakers of 
their spiritual things, "their duty is 
also to minister unto them in carnal 
things. 

28 When therefore I have perform- 
ed this, and have sealed to them °this 
fruit, I will come by you into Spain. 

29 PAnd I am sure that when I 
come unto you, I shall come in the 
fulness of the blessing of the gospel 
of Christ. 

30 Now I beseech you, brethren, 
for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and 
<ifor the love of the Spirit, ""that ye 
strive together with me in your pray- 
ers to God for me ; 

31 sThat I may be delivered from 
them that || do not believe in Judea ; 
and that ^my service which / have 
for Jerusalem, may be accepted of 
the saints ; 

32 " That I may come unto you with 
joy ^by the will of God, and may 
with you be y refreshed. 

33 Now 2 the God of peace be with 
you all. Amen.

I COMMEND unto you Phebe our 
sister, which is a servant of the 
church which is at ^Cenchrea : 

2 ^That ye receive her in the Lord 
as becometh saints, and that ye as- 
sist her in whatsoever business she 
hath need of you : for she hath been 
a succourer of many, and of myself 
also. 

3 Greet '^Priscilla and Aquila, my 
helpers in Christ Jesus : 

4 Who have for my life laid down 
their own necks : unto whom not 
only I give thanks, but also all the 
churches of the Gentiles.

II The First Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the 
CORINTHIANS. 



CHAP. I. 

After his taliUation and ihanksgivini^, 10 he ex- 
horteih them to unity, and 12 repruceth their 
ditiemioni. 18 God destroyeth the icisdom of 
the tciie, 21 by tlte fool ishiiexs of preaching', and 
26 calleth twI the irise, mighty, and noble, but 
27, 28 the foolish, iceak, and men of no account. 

PAUL, ''called to he an apostle of 
Jesus Christ ^through the will 
of God, and <= Sostlienes our brother, 

2 Unto the church of God which is 
at Corinth, ''to them that ^are sanc- 
tified in Christ Jesus, ^called to he 
saints, with all that in every place 
fc'call upon the name of Jesus Christ 
'•our Lord, 'both theirs and ours: 

3 ''Grace be unto you, and peace 
from God our Father, and from the 
Lord Jesus Christ. 

4 'I thank my God always on your 
behalf, for the grace of God which is 
given you by Jesus Christ ; 

5 That in every thing ye are en 
riched by him. '"in all utterance, and 
in all knowledge ; 

6 Even as "the testimony of Christ 
was confirmed in you : 

7 So that ye come behind in no 
gift; "waiting for the f coming of 
our Lord Jesus Christ : 

8 P Who sliall also confirm you unto 
the end, ^that ye may be blameless 
in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

9 '■God is faithful, by whom ye 
were called unto »the fellowship of 
his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 

10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by 
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
'that ye all speak the same thing, and 
that there be no f divisions among 
you ; but that ye be perfectly joined 
together in the same mind, and in the 
same judgment.

which are of the house of Chloe, that 
there are contentions among you. 

1 2 Now this I say, " that every one 
of you saith, I am of Paul ; and I of 
^Apollos; and I of y Cephas; and I 
of Christ. 

13 ^Is Christ divided? was Paul 
crucified for you ? or were ye bap- 
tized in the name of Paul ? 

14 1 thank God that I baptized none 
of you, but ''Crispus and ''Gaius ; 

15 Lest any should say that I had 
baptized in mine own name. 

16 And I baptized also the house- 
hold of ^ Stephanas ; besides, I know 
not whether I baptized any other. 

17 For Christ sent me not to bap- 
tize, but to preach the gospel : <^not 
with wisdom of 1| words, lest the cross 
of Christ should be made of none 
effect. 

18 For the preaching of the cross is 
to ^them that perish, ''foolishness ; 
but unto us g which are saved, it is 
the ''power of God. 

19 For it is written, 'I will destroy 
the wisdom of the wise, and will bring 
to nothing the understanding of the 
prudent. 

20 ''Where is the wise ? where is 
tlie scribe ? where is the disputer of 
this world? 'hath not God made 
foolish the wisdom of this world ? 

21 '"For after that in the wisdom 
of God the w^orld by wisdom knew 
not God, it pleased God by the fool- 
ishness of preaching to save them 
that believe. 

22 For the "Jews require a sign, 
and the Greeks seek after wisdom : 

23 But we preach Christ crucified, 
°unto the Jews a stumbling-block, 
and unto the Greeks p foolishness ; 

1113 



Paul declareth the 



I. CORINTHIANS. 



24 But unto them which are called, 
both Jews and Greeks, Christ qthe 
power of God, and ^the wisdom of 
God. 

25 Because the foolishness of God 
is wiser than men; and the weakness 
of God is stronger than men. 

26 For ye see your calling, bre- 
thren, how that ^not many wise men 
after the flesh, not many mighty, not 
many noble are called : 

27 But tGod hath chosen the fool- 
ish things of the world to confound 
the wise ; and God hath chosen the 
weak things of the world to confound 
the things which are mighty ; 

28 And base things of the world, 
and things which are despised, hath 
God chosen, yea, and "things which 
are not, ^to bring to nought things 
that are : 

29 yThat no flesh should glory in 
his presence. 

30 But of him are ye in Christ 
Jesus, who of God is made unto us 
2 wisdom, and ^righteousness, and 
''sanctification, and ■= redemption : 

31 That, according as it is written, 
^He that glorieth, let him glory in 
the Lord. 

CHAP. II. 

He declareth thai his preaching; 1 though it bring- 
not excellency of speech, or of A hitman wisdom : 
yet consisteth in the 4, b power of God : and so 
far excelleth 6 the wisdom of this world, and 
9 human sense, as that 14 the natural man 
cannot understand it. 

AND I, brethren, when I came to 
you, ^came not with excellency 
of speech, or of wisdom, declaring un- 
to you bthe testimony of God. 

2 For I determined not to know any 
thing among you, "^save Jesus Christ, 
and him crucified. 

3 And ^\ was with you ^in weak- 
ness, and in fear, and in much trem- 
bling. 

4 And my speech and my preaching 
^was not with |1 enticing words of 
man's wisdom, ffbut in demonstra- 
tion of the Spirit, and of power : 

5 That your faith should not f stand 
in the wisdom of men, but '^in the 
power of God. 

6Howbeit,we speak wisdom among 
them 'that are perfect : yet not ^^the 
wisdom of this world, nor of the 
princes of this world, 'that come to 
nought : 

7 But we speak the wisdom of God

in a mysteiy, even the hidden wis- 
dom '"which God ordained before 
the world unto our glory ; 

8 "Which none of the princes of 
this world knew : for o had they known 
it, they would not have crucified the 
Lord of glory. 

9 But as it is written, PEye hath 
not seen, nor ear heard, neither have 
entered into the heart of man, the 
things which God hath prepared for 
them that love him. 

10 But qGod hath revealed them 
unto us by his Spirit ; for the Spirit 
searcheth all things, yea, the deep 
things of God. 

11 For what man knoweth the 
things of a man, ''save the spirit of 
man which is in him ? ^even so the 
things of God knoweth no man, but 
the Spirit of God. 

12 Now we have received, not the 
spirit of the world, but 'the Spirit 
which is of God ; that we might know 
the things that are freely given to us 
of God. 

13 "Which things also we speak, 
not in the words which man's wisdom 
teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost 
teacheth ; comparing spiritual things 
with spiritual. 

14 '^But the natural man receiveth 
not the things of the Spirit of God : 
yfor they are foolishness unto him: 
^^neither can he know them, because 
they are spiritually discerned. 

15 ''But he that is spiritual ||judg- 
eth all things, yet he himself is li judg-

How to esteem ministers. 

foohshness with God. For it is writ- 
ten, ^ He taketh the wise in their own 
craftiness. 

20 And again, i^The Lord knoweth 
the thoughts of the wise, that they 
are vain. 

21 Therefore 'let no man glory in 
men : for i^'all things are yours ; 

22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or 
Cephas, or the world, or life, or 
death, or things present, or things 
to come ; all are yours ; 

23 And 'ye are Christ's: and Christ 
is God's. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 In what account the ministers ought to be had. 
7 We hare nothing trhich we have not received. 
9 TTte apostles spectacles to the icorld, angels, 
and men, 13 the filth and off-scouring oj the 
icorld: 1.5 yet our fathers in Christ, 16 whom 
tee ought to folloic. 

LET a man so account of us, as of 
''the ministers of Christ, ''and 
stewards of the mysteries of God. 

2 Moreover, it is required in stew- 
ards that a man be found faithful. 

3 But with me it is a very small 
thing that I should be judged of you, 
or of man's f judgment : yea, I judge 
not mine own self. 

4 For I know nothing by myself; 
= yet am I not hereby justified : but 
he that judgeth me is the Lord. 

5 ''Therefore judge nothing before 
the time, until the Lord come, ^who 
both will bring to light the hidden 
things of darkness, and will make 
manifest the counsels of the hearts : 
and ''then shall everj- man have praise 
of God. 

6 And these things, brethren, el 
have in a figure transferred to my- 
self, and to Apollos, for your sakes : 
•ithat ye might learn in us not to 
think of men above that which is 
written, that no one of you ' be puff- 
ed up for one against another. 

7 For who fmaketh thee to differ 
from another ? and "^what hast thou 
that thou didst not receive ? now if 
thou didst receive it, why dost thou 
glor}-, as if thou hadst not received 
it? 

8 Now ye are full, 'now ye are rich, 
ye have reigned as kings without us : 
and I would to God ye did reign, that 
we also might reign with you. 

9 For I think that God hath set 
forth II us the apostles last, "'as it 
were appointed to death : for ''-we are

in the spirit of meekness ?

pertain to this life ? 

4 ^If then ye have judgments of 
things pertaining to this life, set 
them to judge who are least esteem- 
ed in the church. 

5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, 
that there is not a wise man among 
you ? no, not one that shall be able 
to judge between his brethren ? 

6 But brother goeth to law with 
brother, and that before the unbe- 
lievers. 

7 Now therefore there is utterly a 
fault among you, because ye go to 
law one with another. ''Why do ye 
not rather take wrong ? why do ye 
not rather suffer yoursehes to be de- 
frauded ? j 

8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, 
*and that your brethren.

nor effeminate, nor abusers of them-

are the members of Christ ? shall I 
then take the members of Christ, and

2 He treateih of marriage, 4 sheicing it to be ti 
remedy against fornication : 10 and that the 
bond thereof ought not lighilij to be dissolved. 
18, 20 Every man must be content icith his ro- 
cation. 25 \irginityicherefore to be embraced. 
35 And for tchat respects we may eiihermarry, 
or abstain from marrying. 

NOW concerning the things 
whereof ye wrote unto me : 
^It is good for a man not to touch 
a woman. 

2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornica- 
tion, let every man have his own 
wife, and let every woman have her 
own husband. 

3 ''Let the husband render unto 
the wife due benevolence : and like- 
wise also the wife unto the husband. 

4 The wife hath not power of her 
own body, but the husband : and like- 
wise also the husband hath not power 
of his own body, but the wife. 

5 = Defraud ye not one the other, 
except it be with consent for a time, 
that ye may give yourselves to fast- 
ing and prayer ; and come together 
again, that '^ Satan tempt you not for 
your incontinency. 

6 But I speak this by permission, 
^and not of commandment. 

7 For ^I would that all men were 
seven as I myself. But ''every man 
hath his proper gift of God, one after 
this manner, and another after that. 

8 I say therefore to the unmarried 
and widows, 'It is good for them if 
they abide even as I. 

9 But ''if they cannot contain, let 
them marry : for it is better to marry 
than to burn.

to her husband: and let not the bus 
band put away his wife. 

12 But to the rest speak I, "not 
the Lord, If any brother hath a wife 
that believethnot,and she be pleased 
to dwell with him, let him not put 
her away. 

13 And the woman which hath a 
husband that beheveth not, and if he 
be pleased to dwell with her, let her 
not leave him. 

14 For the unbelieving husband is 
sanctified by the wife, and the unbe- 
lieving wife is sanctified by the hus- 
band : else °were your children un- 
clean ; but now are they holy. 

15 But if the unbelieving depart, 
let him depart. A brother or a sister 
is not under bondage in such cases ; 
but God hath called us Pfto peace. 

16 For what knowest thou, O wife, 
whether thou shalt qsave thy hus- 
band ? or f how knowest thou, O man, 
whether thou shalt save thy wife ? 

17 But as God hath distributed to 
every man, as the Lord hath called 
every one, so let him walk. And ''so 
ordain I in all churches. 

18 Is any man called being circum- 
cised? let him not become uncir- 
cumcised. Is any called in uncir- 
cumcision ? ' let him not be circum- 
cised. 

19 "Circumcision is nothing, and 
uncircumcision is nothing, but -the 
keeping of the commandments of 
God. 

20 Let every man abide in the same 
calling wherein he was called. 

21 Art thou called being a servant ? 
care not for it ; but if thou mayest be 
made free, use it rather. 

22 For he that is called in the Lord, 
heing a servant, is y the Lord's | free- 
man : likewise also he that is called, 
heing free, is ^ Christ's servant.

the marriage of virgins. 

27 Art thou bound unto a wife? 
seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed 
from a wife ? seek not a wife. 

28 But and if thou many, thou 
hast not sinned : and if a virgin 
marry she hath not sinned. Never- 
theless, such shall have trouble in 
the flesh ; but I spare you. 

29 But sthis I say, brethren. The 
time is short. It remaineth, that 
both they that have wives, be as 
though they had none ; 

30 And they that weep, as though 
they wept not ; and they that rejoice, 
as though they rejoiced not; and they 
that buy, as though they possessed 
not; 

31 And they that use this world, 
as not ''abusing it. For 'the fashion 
of this world passeth away. 

32 But I would have you without 
carefulness. ^ He that is unmarried, 
careth for the things f that belong to 
the Lord, how he may please the 
Lord : 

3C But he that is married, careth 
for the things that are of the world 
how he may please his wife. 

34 There is difference also between 
a wife and a virgin. The unmarried 
woman 'careth for the things of the 
Lord, that she may be holy, both in 
body and in spirit : but she that is 
married, careth for the things of the 
world, how she may please her hus- 
band. 

35 And this I speak for your own 
profit ; not that I may cast a snare 
upon you, but for that which is come- 
ly, and that ye may attend upon the 
Lord without distraction. 

36 But if any man think that he 
behaveth himself uncomely toward 
his virgin, if she pass the flower of 
her age, and need so require, let him 
do what he will, he sinneth not : let 
them marry. 

37 Nevertheless, he that standeth 
steadfast in his heart, having no ne- 
cessity, but hath power over his own 
will, and hath so decreed in his heart 
that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. 

38 ™ So then he that giveth her in 
marriage doeth well ; but he that 
giveth her not in marriage doeth 
better.

as long as her husband liveth ; but if

7 Howbeit, there is not in every 
man that knowledge: for some "with

eat it as a thing offered unto an idol : 
and their conscience, being weak, is 
"defiled.

1 He sheweth his liheriy, 7 and that the minister 
omht to lire by the gospel: 15 yet thai him- 
self hath of his own accord abstained, 18 to be 
either cliargeable unto them, 22 or offensive 
unto any, in matters indifferent. 24 Our life 
w like unto a race. 

M I not an apostle ? am I not 
free? ''have I not seen Jesus 
Christ our Lord? "^are not ye my 
work in the Lord ? 

2 If I be not an apostle unto others, 
yet doubtless I am to you: for'^ the seal 
of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord. 

3 Mine answer to them that do ex- 
amine me is this ; 

4 «Have we not power to eat and 
to drink ? 

5 Have we not power to lead about 
a sister, a || wife, as well as other 
apostles, and as ^ the brethren of the 
Lord, and e Cephas ? 

6 Or I only and Barnabas, ''have 
not we power to forbcEU" working ? 

7 Who ' goeth a warfare any time 
at his own charges ? who ''planteth a 
vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit 
thereof? or who 'feedeth a flock, and 
eateth not of the milk of the flock ? 

8 Say I these things as a man ? or 
saith not the law the same also ? 

9 For it is written in the law of 
Moses, ""Thou shalt not muzzle the 
mouth of the ox thattreadeth out the 
corn. Doth God take care for oxen ? 

10 Or saith he it altogether for our 
sakes ? For our sakes, no doubt, this 
is written : that " he that plougheth 
should plough in hope ; and that he 
that thresheth in hope should be 
partaker of his hope. 

11 "If we have sown unto you spi- 
ritual things, is it a great thing if we 
shall reap your carnal things 1 

12 If others be partakers of this 
power over you, are not we rather ? 
p Nevertheless we have not used this 
power : but suffer all things, qlest we 
should hinder the gospel of Christ. 

13 '"Do ye not know that they 
which minister about holy things 

ive of the things of the temple, 
and they which wait at the altar are 
partakers with the altar ?

PauVs self-denial for the gospel I. CORINTHIANS. 

14 Even so ^hath the Lord ordain- 
ed Hhat they which preach the gos- 
pel should live of the gospel. 

15 But "I have used none of these 
things : neither have I written these 
things, that it should be so done 
unto me : for ^it were better for me 
to die, than that any man should 
make my glorying void. 

16 For though I preach the gospel, 
I have nothing to glory of: for y ne- 
cessity is laid upon me ; yea, wo is 
unto me, if I preach not the gospel ! 

17 For if I do this thing willingly, 
zj have a reward : but if against my 
will, ^ a dispensation of the gospel is 
committed unto me. 

18 What is my reward then? Verily 
that, bwhen I preach the gospel, I 
may make the gospel of Christ with- 
out charge, that I ■= abuse not my 
power in the gospel. 

19 For though I be ^iree from all 
men, yet have <^I made myself servant 
unto all, ^that I might gain the more. 

20 And &unto the Jews I became as 
a Jew, that I might gain the Jews ; 
to them that are under the law, as 
under the law, that I might gain them 
that are under the law ; 

21 iiTo 'them that are without law, 
as without law, (''being not Without 
law to God, but under the law to 
Christ,) that I might gain them that 
are without law. 

22 1 To the weak became I as weak, 
that I might gain the weak: ">! am 
made all things to all men, '^that I 
might by all means save some. 

23 And this I do for the gospel's 
sake, that I may be partaker there 
of with you. 

24 Know ye not, that they which 
run in a race, run all, but one receiv 
eth the prize ? " So run, that ye may 
obtain. 

25 And every man that P striveth for 
the mastery is temperate in all things. 
Now they ^0 it to obtain a corruptible 
crown ; but we qan incorruptible. 

26 I therefore so run, ""not as un- 
certainly ; so fight I, not as one that 
beateth the air : 

27 ^But I keep under my body, 
and t bring it into subjection: lest 
that by any means when I have 
preached to others, I myself should 
be " a cast-away.

Christians must fee idolatry. 
CHAP. X. 

1 The sacraments of the Jews 6 are types of 
ours, 7 arid their punishments, 11 examples 
for us. 14 We must jly from idolatry. 21 
We must not make the Lord's table the table 
of devils : 24 and in thing's indifferent we must 
have regard of our brethren. 

MOREOVER, brethren, I would 
not that ye should be ignorant 
how that all our fathers were under 
a the cloud, and all passed through 
bthe sea; 

2 And were all baptized unto Mo- 
ses in the cloud and in the sea ; 

3 And did all eat the same <= spiri- 
tual meat ; 

4 And did all drink the same <^ spi- 
ritual drink : (For they drank of that 
spiritual Rock that || followed them: 
and that Rock was Christ.) 

5 But with many of them God was 
not well pleased: for they ^were 
overthrown in the wilderness. 

6 Now these things were four Qii-' 
amples, to the intent we should not 
lust after evil things, as fthey also 
lusted. 

7 8' Neither be ye idolaters, as were 
some of them : as it is written, ^The 
people sat down to eat and drink, and 
rose up to play. 

8 "Neither let us commit fornica- 
tion, as some of them committed, and 
•^^fell in one day three and twenty 
thousand. 

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as 
isome of them also tempted, and 
™were destroyed of serpents. 

10 Neither murmur ye, as "some 
of them also murmured, and °were 
destroyed of P the destroyer. 

11 Now all these things happened 
unto them for || ensamples : and ithey 
are written for our admonition, ''up- 
on whom the ends of the world are 
come. 

12 Wherefore ^let him that think- 
eth he standeth, take heed lest he 
fall. 

13 There hath no temptation taken 
you but II such as is common to rnan : 
but 'God is faithful, "who will not 
suffer you to be tempted above that 
ye are able ; but will with the temp- 
tation also ^make a way to escape, 
that ye may be able to bear it. 

14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, 
yflee from idolatry. 

15 I speak as to '^wise men; judge 
ye what I say.

Concerning things indifferent. 

16 *The cup of blessing which we 
bless, is it not the communion of the 
blood of Clirist? ''The bread which 
we break, is it not the communion of 
the body of Christ? 

17 For "^we heing many are one 
bread, and one body : for Ave are all 
partakers of that one bread. 

18 Behold ^Israel ^after the flesh: 
fare not they which eat of the sacri- 
fices, partakers of the altar ? 

19 What say I then? &that the idol 
is any thing, or that which is offered 
in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 

20 But / say, that the things which 
the Gentiles ''sacrifice, they sacrifice 
to devils, and not to God: and I 
would not that ye should have fel- 
lowship with devils. 

21 'Ye cannot drink the cup of the 
Lord, and if the cup of devils: ye can- 
not be partakers of the Lord's table, 
and of the table of devils. 

22 Do we 'provoke the Lord to 
jealousy ? >" are we stronger than he ? j 

23 "All things are lawful for me, 
but all things are not expedient : all 
things are lawful for me, but all things 
edify not. 

24 °Let no man seek his own, but 
ever)' man another's wealth. 

25 P Whatsoever is sold in the sham- 
bles, that eat, asking no question for 
conscience' sake : 

26 For ithe earth is the Lord's, and 
the fulness thereof. 

27 If any of them that believe not 
bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed 
to go ; 'whatsoever is set before you, 
eat, asking no question for conscience' 
sake. 

28 But if any man say unto you, 
This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, 
eat not «for his sake that shewed it, 
and for conscience' sake: for 4he 
earth is the Lord's, and the fulness 
thereof: 

29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, 
but of the other: for "why is my li- 
berty judged of another mans con 
science? 

30 For if I by || grace be a partaker, 
why am I evil spoken of for that ^for 
which I give thanks? 

31 > Whether therefore ye eat or 
drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to 
the glory of God : 

32 ^Give none offence, neither to

1 He reproceth them, because in holy assemblies 
4 their men prayed with their heads covered, 
and 6 tromen icilh their heads uncutered, 17 
and because generally their meetings were not 
for the better but for the norse, as '21 namely 
in profaning with their oicn feasts the Lord's 
supper. 25 Lastly, he calleUi them to the first 
iruititution thereof. 

BE ^'ye followers of me, even as I 
also am of Christ. 

2 Now I praise you, brethren, ''that 
ye remember me in all things, and 
t^keep the || ordinances, as I delivered 
them to you. 

3 But I would have you know, that 
''the head of eveiy man is Christ; 
and <=the head of the woman is the 
man ; and f the head of Christ is God. 

4 Every man praying or e prophesy- 
ing, having his head covered, dis- 
honoureth his head. 

5 But ''every woman that prayeth 
or prophesieth with her head unco- 
vered, dishonoureth her head : for that 
is even all one as if she were 'shaven. 

6 For if the woman be not covered, 
let her also be shorn : but if it be i^ a 
shame for a woman to be shorn or 
shaven, let her be covered. 

7 For a man indeed ought not to 
cover his head, forasmuch as 'he is 
the image and glory of God: but the 
woman is the glory of the man. 

8 For '"the man is not of the wo- 
man, but the woman of the man. 

9 "Neither was the man created for 
the woman, but the woman for the 
man. 

10 For this cause ought the woman 
oto have || power on her head, Pbe- 
cause of the angels. 

1 1 Nevertheless,'! neither is the man 
without the woman, neither the wo- 
man without the man, in the Lord. 

12 For as the woman is of the man, 
even so is the man also by the wo- 
man ; ■'but all things of God. 

13 Judge in yourselves : Is it come- 
ly that a woman pray unto God un- 
covered ? 

14 Doth not even nature itself teach 
you, that if a man have long hair, it 
is a shame unto him ? 

1121 



Of the Lord's supper. I. 

15 But if a woman have long hair, 
it is a glory to her: iov iter r}),iii\v is 
given her for a || covering. 

16 But s if any man seem to be con- 
tentious, we have no such custom, 
'neither the churches of God. . 
yl7 Now in this that I declare unto 

%ou, I praise j/<?M, not, that ye come 
together not for the better, but for 
the worsCi' ' •- ...--^ - 

18 For first of all, when ye conie 
together in the church, "I hear that 
there be || divisions among you ; and 
I' -partly believe it. 
''19 For ^ there must be also || here- 
sies among you, y that they which are 
lipproved may , fee i.niad©; manifest 
g^ongyou. 'JiiBdoJone 
n^O When ye come,, together .there- 
fore into one place, \\tliis is not tb 
(Bat the Lord's supper. ^ 

^21 For in eating every one taketh 
before other his own supper : and one 
is hungry, and ^ another is drunken. 

22 What ! have ye not houses, to 
eat and to drink in? or despise ye 
''•the church of God, and ''shame 
II them that have not? What shall 

I say to you ? shall I praise you in 
this ? I praise you not. 

23 For « I have received of the Lord, 
that which also I delivered unto you, 
,4 .That the Lord Jesus, the same night 
i^ip. which he was betrayed, took bread : 
./J34 And when he had given thanks, 
he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this 
js my body, which is broken for you: 
this do II in remembrance of me. 

i|f^5 After the same manner also he 
took the cup, when he had supped, 
saying. This cup is the new testament 
in my blood : this do ye, as oft as ye 
drink it, in remembrance of me. 

26 For as often as ye eat this bread, 
and drink this cup, ||ye do shew the 
Lord's death '=till he come. 

27 f Wherefore, whosoever shall eat 
this bread, and drink this cup of the 
Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of 
•the body and blood of the Lord. 

28 But slet a man examine himself, 
and so let him eat of that bread, and 
drink of i/m^ cup. 

29 For he that eateth and drink- 
§th unworthily, eateth and drinketh 

II damnation to himself, not dispero- 
i^g the Lord's body. ori'^'io'ISI '

Christians one mystical body. 

12 For ^ as the body is one, and hath 
many members, and all the members 
of that one body, being many, are 
one body: yso also is Christ. 

1 3 For z by one Spirit are we all 
baptized into one body, * whether we 
he Jews or f Gentiles, whether xoe 
be bond or free ; and ''haTe been all 
made to drink into one Spirit. 

14 For tlie body is not one member, 
but many. 

15 If the foot -shall say, Because I 
am not the hand, 1 am not of the bo- 
dy; is it therefore not of the body? 

16 And if the ear shall say. Because 
I am not the eye, I am not of the bo- 
dy; is it therefore not of the body? 

17 If the whole body rvere an eye, 
^Where iterethe hearing? If the whole 

icere hearing, where were the smell-

18 But now hath = God set the 
members every one of them in the 
body, <* as it hath pleased him. 

19 And if they were all one mem- 
ber, where were the body ] 

20 But now are they many mem- 
bers, yet but one body. 

21 And the eye cannot say unto the 
hand, 1 have no need of thee: nor 
apain the head to the feet, I hav© no 
need of you. 

22 Nay, much more those members 
of the body, which seem to be more 
feeble, are neces.san,' : 

23 And iho.sc mefnhers of the body, 
which we think to be less honour- 
able, upon these Ave || bestow more 
abundant honour; and our uncomely 
pai-ts have more abundant comeli- 
ness. 

24 For our comely parL^ have no 
need : but God hath tempered the bo- 
dy together, havinggiven more aliun-

CHAP. XIV. 

1 Prophecy is commended, 2, 3, 4 and preferred 
before speaking with tongues, li by a compari- 
son drawn from musical instrnmeids. 12 Both 
must be referred to edification, 22 as to their 
true and proper end. 26 The true use of each 
ts taught, 27 and the abuse taxed. 34 Women 

■ are forbidden to speak in the Church. 

FOLLOW after charity, and ^^de- 
sire spiritual gifts, ^hui rather 
that ye may prophesy. 

2 For he that ''speaketh in an un- 
A'TioifJW tongu e , spe aketh not unto men , 
but unto God : for no man f under- 
standeth him; howbeit in the spirit 
he speaketh mysteries. 

3 But he that prophesieth, speaketh 
unto men to edification, and exhorta- 
tion, and comfort. 

4 He that speaketh in an unknown 
tongue edifieth himself; but he that 
prophesieth edifieth the church. 

3 I would that ye all spake with 
tongues, but rather that ye prophe- 
sied : for greater is he that prophe- 
sieth than he that speaketh with 
tongues, except he interpret, that the 
church may receive edifying. 

6 Now, brethren, if I come unto 
you speaking with tongues, what shall 

I profit you, except I shall speak to 
^you either by ^ revelation, or by know- 
ledge, or by prophesying, or by doc- 
trine ? 

7 And even things without life giv- 
ing sound, whether pipe or harp, ex- 
cept they give a distinction in the 

II sounds, how shall it be known what 
is piped or harped ? 

8 For if the trumpet give an uncer- 
tain sound, who shall prepare himself 
to the battle ? 

9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by 
the tongue words f easy to be under- 
stood, how shall it be known what is 
spoken ? for ye shall speak into the 
air. 

10 There are, it may be, so many 
kinds of voices in the world, and 
none of them is without significa- 
tion. 

11 Therefore,ifI know not the mean- 
ing of the voice, I shall be unto him 
that speaketh a barbarian, and he that 
speakeths/ta/Z&eabarbarianuntome.

to the gift of tongues. 

12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are 
zealous f of spiritual gifts, seek that 
ye may excel to the edifying of the 
church. 

13 Wherefore, let him that speak- 
eth in an itnknown tongue, pray that 
he may interpret. 

14 For if I pray in an unknown 
tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my 
understanding is unfruitful. 

15 What is it then? I will pray 
with the spirit, and I will pray with 
the understanding also : ^I will sing 
with the spirit, and I will sing f with 
the understanding also. 

16 Else, when thou shalt bless with 
the spirit, how shall he that occupieth 
the room of the unlearned say Amen 
Sat thy giving of thanks, seeing he 
understandeth not what thou sayest? 

17 For thou verily givest thanks 
well, but the other is not edified. 

18 I thank my God, I speak with 
tongues more than ye all : 

19 Yet in the church I had rather 
spe ak five words with my understand- 
ing, that by my voice I might teach 
others also, than ten thousand words 
in an unknown tongue. 

20 Brethren, ^he not children in 
understanding : howbeit, in malice 
'be ye children, but in understand- 
ing be f men. 

21 '^In the law it is i written, With 
men of other tongues and other lips 
will i speak unto this people ; and 
yet for all that will they not hear 
me, saith the Lord. 

22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, 
not to them that believe, but to them 
that believe not : but prophesying 
serveth not for them that believe not, 
but for them which believe. 

23 If therefore the whole church be 
come together into one place, and all 
speak with tongues, and there come 
in those that are unlearned, or unbe- 
lievers, "'will they not say that ye are 
mad ? 

24 But if all prophesy, and there 
come in one that believeth not, or owe 
unlearned, he is convinced of all, he 
is judged of all : 

25 And thus are the secrets of his 
heart made manifest ; and so falling 
down on his face, he will worship 
God, and report "that God is in you 
of a truth.

Rules for the exercise of spiritual gifts. CHAP. XV. 

26 How is it then, brethren ? when 
ye come together, every one of you 
hath a psalm, °hath a doctrine, hath 
a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an 
interpretation. PLet all things be 
done unto edifying. 

27 If any man speak in an unknown 
tongue, let it he by two, or at the 
most hy three, and that by course ; 
and let one interpret. 

28 But if there be no interpreter, 
let him keep silence in the church ; 
and let him speak to himself, and to 
God. 

29 Let the prophets speak two or 
three, and ilet the other judge. q d.. 12. 10, 

30 If any thing be revealed to an- 
other that sitteth by, ""jet the first 
hold his peace. 

31 For ye may all prophesy one by 
one, that all may learn, and all may 
be comforted. 

32 And ''the spirits of the prophets 
are subject to the prophets. 

33 For God is not the author of 
t confusion, but of peace, 'as in all 
churches of the saints. 

34 "Let your women keep silence 
in the churches ; for it is not per- 
mitted unto them to speak: but 
*^they are commanded to be under 
obedience, as also saith the >iaw. 

35 And if they will learn anything, 
let them ask their husbands at home ; 
for it is a shame for women to speak 
in the church. 

36 What ! came the word of God 
out from you ? or came it unto you 
only? 

37 ^ If any man think himself to be 
a prophet, or spiritual, let him ac- 
knowledore that the things that I write 
unto you are the commaYidments of 
the Lord. 

38 But if any man be ignorant, let 
him be ignorant. 

39 Wherefore, brethren, » covet to 
prophesy, and forbid not to speak 
with tongues. 

40 '•Let all things be done decently, 
and in order.

Of the resurrection. 

I preached unto you, which also ye 
have received, and ^wherein ye stand; 

2 <=By which also ye are saved, if 
ye II keep in memory f what I preach- 
ed unto you, unless ''ye have believed 
in vain. 

3 For ^I delivered unto you first of 
all, that ^which I also received, how 
that Christ died for our sins s accord- 
ing to the scriptures ; 

4 And that he was buried, and that 
he rose again the third day ''accord- 
ing to the scriptures : 

5 'And that he was seen of Cephas, 
then ^ of the twelve : 

6 After that, he was seen of above 
five hundred brethren at once ; of 
whomthegi'eaterpartremainuntothis 
present, but some are fallen asleep. 

7 After that, he was seen of James ; 
then 'of all the apostles. 

8 ""And last of all he was seen of 
me also, as of || one born out of due 
time. 

9 For I am "the least of the apos- 
tles, that am not meet to be called 
an aposde, because °I persecuted the 
church of God. 

10 But Pby the grace of God I am 
what I am : and his grace which was 
bestoived upon me, was not in vain ; 
but 4 1 laboured more abundantly than 
they all : ''yet not I, but the grace of 
God which was with me. 

1 1 Therefore whether it were I or 
they, so we preach, and so ye be- 
lieved. 

12 Now if Christ be preached that 
he rose from the dead, how say some 
among you that there is no resurrec- 
tion of the dead ? 

13 But if there be no resurrection 
of the dead, nhen is Christ not risen: 

14 And if Christ be not risen, then 
is our preaching vain, and your faith 
is also vain. 

15 Yea, and we are found false wit- 
nesses of God ; because 'we have 
testified of God that he raised up 
Christ : whom he raised not up, if 
so be that the dead rise not. 

16 For if the dead rise not, then is 
not Christ raised : 

17 And if Christ be not raised, your 
faith is vain ; "ye are yet in your sins. 

18 Then they' also which are fallen 
asleep in Christ are perished. 

19 ^If in this life only, we have hope

in Christ, we are of all men most 
miserable, n Ai^'A-iow- sri' lo'i ;in ■ 

20 But now y'is Cffl-iit'fisett'fl-OTil 
the dead, and become ^the first-fruits 
of them that slept. 

21 For ==• since by man came death, 
^by man came also the resurrection 
of the dead. 

22 For as in Adam all die, even so 
in Christ shall all be made alive. 

23 But <= every man in his own or- 
der: Christ the first-fruits ; aftei-ward 
they that are Christ's at his coming. 

24 Then cometh the end, when he 
shall have delivered up ''the kingdom 
to God, even the Father ; when he 
shall have put down all rule, and all 
authority, and power. ' . ■ «ii 3^ ■"! n v, 

25 For he must reign, ^till he hath 
put all enemies under his feet. 

26 ^The last enemy that shall be 
destroyed is death. 

27 For he shath put all things un- 
der his feet. But when he saith all 
things are put under him, it is mani- 
fest that he is excepted which did 
put all things under him. 2. ^-6 I 

28 ^And when all things shall be 
subdued unto him, then 'shall the 
Son also himself be subject unto him 
that put all things under him, that 
God may be all in all. 

29 Else what shall they do, which 
are baptized for the dead, if the dead 
rise not at all 1 why are they then 
baptized for the dead ? 

30 And '^why stand we in jeopardy 
every hour ? 

31 I protest by || 'your rejoicing 
which I have in Christ Jesus our 
Lord, ""I die daily, oka ?■ 

32 If II after the manner of men ° I 
have fought with beasts at Ephesus, 
what advantageth it me, if the dead 
rise not? ''let us eat and di-ink ; for 
tOrmorrow we die. 

33 Be not deceived : PEvil commu- 
nications corrupt good manners.

T HI A N S, The manner of it 

thou sowest not that body that shall 
be, but bare grain ; it may chance of 
wheat, or of some other grain : 

38 But God giveth it a body as it 
hath pleased him^ and to every sefed 
his own body, ■'v'""'' ""> ''■'■'-'■- '-''■ 

39 All flesh is not the same flesh V 
but there is one kind of flesh of men, 
another flesh of beasts, another of 
fishes, a?it? another of birds. 

40 There are also celestial bodies, 
and bodies terrestrial : but the glory 
of the celestial is one, and the glory 
of the terrestrial is another. • ^ '^ ' "i^ 

41 There is one gloryof th6 "^i!^,' 
and another glory of the moon, and 
another glorj^ of the stars ; for one star 
differeth from another star in glory. 

42 '^So also is the resurrection of' 
the dead. It is sown in corrnptionj- 
it is raised in incorruption : 

43 y It is sown in dishonour, it is 
raised in glory : it is sown in weak- 
ness, it is raised in power: 

44 It is sown a natural body, it isi 
raised a spiritual body. There is a 
natural body, and there is a spiritual 
body. 

45 And so it is writteiij The -first 
man Adam ^was made a living souljt 
^the last Adam was made ^a. quick-a 
ening spirit. • <-iiiuiJilij,- on Sil yisAi 

46 Howbeit, th^t'tbm liot fir'st 'wliic& 
is spiritual, but that which is natural^'{ 
and afterward that which is spiritualJ^ 

47 cThe first man is of the earthji 
^ earthy : the second man is the Lord 
<^ from heaven. : '•''" '"-'dt 

48 As is the earthj^, such ai^e they 
also that are earthy: ^and as is the 
heavenly, such ate they also that ar^l 
heavenly. ' 

49 And gas we have borne the image 
of the earthy, ^yve shall also bear the" 
image of the heavenly. mnli 

50 Now this I say, brethren, that 
'flesh and blood cannot inherit the 
kingdom of God ; neither doth cor- 
ruption inherit incorruption. 

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery tl 
'^We shall not all sleep, ''but we shaft 
all be changed, lai boivuio ?.' 

52 In a moment, in the twinkling 
of an eye, at the last trump : ™for the 
trumpet shall sound, and the dead 
shall be raised incorruptible, and we 
shall be changed.

•fl The Second Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the 
CORINTHIANS. 



CHAP. I. 

3 7%e apostle encourageth. them against troubles, 
by the comforts and deliverances which God 
had given him, as in all his ajflictions, 8 so par- 
ticularly in his late danger in Asia. 12 And 
calling both his own conscience and theirs to 
witness of Ids sincere manner of preaching the 
immutable truth of the gospel, 15 he excuseth 
his not coming to them, as proceeding not of 
lightness, but of his lenity towards them. 

PAUL, ^an apostle of Jesus Christ 
by the will of God, and Timothy 
our brother, unto the church of God 
which is at Corinth, ^with all the 
saints which are in all Achaia : 

2 <= Grace he to you and peace from 
God our Father, and from the Lord 
Jesus Christ. 

3 d Blessed he God, even the Father 
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father 
of mercies, and the God of all com- 
fort; 

4 Who comforteth us in all our 
tribulation, that we may be able to 
comfort them which are in any trou- 
ble by the comfort wherewith we 
ourselves are comforted of God, 

5 For as ^the sufferings of Christ 
abound in us, so our consolation also 
aboundeth by Christ. 

6 And whether we be afflicted, ^it 
is for your consolation and salvation, 
which His effectual in the enduring 
of the same sufferings which we also 
suffer : or whether we be comforted, 
it is for your consolation and sal- 
vation. 

7 And our hope of you is steadfast, 
knowing, that = as ye are partakers of 
the sufferings, so shall ye be also of 
the consolation. 

8 For we would not, brethren, 
have you ignorant of ^'our trouble 
which came to us in Asia, that we 
were pressed out of measure, above 
strength, insomuch that we despaired 
even of life : 

9 But we had the H sentence of 
death in ourselves, that we should 
'not trust in ourselves, but in God 
which raiseth the dead : 

1 k Who delivered us from so great 
a death, and doth deliver : in whom 
we trust that he will yet deliver us : 

11 Ye also 'helping together by 
prayer for us, that '"for the gift be- 
stowed upon us by the means of

many persons, thanks may be given 
by many on our behalf. 

12 For our rejoicing is this, the 
testimony of our conscience, that in 
simplicity and "godly sincerity, °not 
with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace 
of God, we have had our conversa- 
tion in the world, and more abun- 
dantly to you-ward, 

13 For we write none other things 
unto you, than what ye read or ac- 
knowledge ; and I trust ye shall ac- 
knowledge even to the end ; 

14 As also ye have acknowledged 
us in part, Pthat we are your rejoic- 
ing, even as qye also are ours in the 
day of the Lord Jesus. 

15 And in this confidence '"I was 
minded to come unto you before, that 
ye might have ^ a second 1| benefit ; 

16 And to pass by you into Mace- 
donia, and Ho come again out of Ma- 
cedonia unto you, and of you to be 
brought on my way toward Judea. 

17 When I therefore was thus mind- 
ed, did I use lightness? or the things 
that I purpose, do I purpose " accord- 
ing to the flesh, that with me there 
should be yea, yea, and nay, nay ? 

18 But as God is true, our i| word 
toward you was not yea and nay. 

19 For 3; the Son of God, Jesus 
Christ, who was preached amongyou 
by us, even by me, and Silvanus, and 
Timotheus, was not yea and nay, 
ybut in him was yea. 

20 5^ For all the promises of God in 
him are yea, and in him Amen, unto 
the glory of God by us. 

21 Now he which establisheth us 
with you in Christ, and ^hath anoint- 
ed us, is God ; 

22 Who ^hath also sealed us, and 
cgiven the earnest of the Spirit in 
our hearts. 

23 Moreover, "^I call God for a re- 
cord upon my soul, ^that to spare 
you I came not as yet unto Corinth. 
" 24 Not for fthat we have dominion 
over your faith, but are helpers of 
your joy : for &by faith ye stand. 

CHAP. H. 

1 Having shewed the reason u'hy he came not to 
them, 6 he requireth them to forgive and to com- 
fort that excommunicated person, 10 even as him- 
self also upon his true repentance had forgiven 
1128 



.The incestuous person forgiven. 

htm, 12 declaring tcithal icTiy he departed from 
Troas to Macedonia, 14 and the happy success 
which God gave to his preaching in all places, 

BUT 1 determined this M-ith my- 
self, ''that I would not come 
again to you in heaviness. 

2 For it' I make you sorn,', who is he 
then that maketh me glad, but the 
same which is made sony by me ? 

3 And I wrote this same unto you, 
lest, when I came, ^^I should have 
sorrow from them of whom I ought 
to rejoice ; "^having confidence in you 
all, that ray joy is the joy of you all. 

4 For out of much affliction and 
anguish of heart I wrote unto you 
with many tears ; iinot that ye should 
be grieved, but that ye might know 
the love which I have more abun- 
dantly unto you. 

5 But '■ if any have caused gi'ief, he 
hath not 'grieved me, but in part : 
that 1 may not overcharge you all. 

6 Sufficient to such a man is this 
II punishment, which was injlicted &of 
many. 

7 '' .Sothatcontrariwise,ye ougJitra- 
ther to forgive him, and comfort him, 
lest perhaps such a one should be 
swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. 

8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye 
would confirm your love toward him. 

9 For to this end also did I write, 
that I might know the proof of you, 
whether ye be 'obedient in all things. 

10 To whom ve forgive anv thing, I 
forgive also : for if I forgave ajiy thing, 
to whom 1 forgave it, for your sakes 
forgave I it \\ in the person of Christ ; 

1 1 Lest Satan should get an ad- 
vantage of us: for we are not igno- 
rant of his devices. 

12 Furthermore, ''when I came to 
Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and 
'a door was opened unto me of the 
Lord, 

13 '"I had no rest in my spirit, be- 
cause I found not Titus my brother : 
but taking my leave of them, I went 
from thence into Macedonia. 

14 Now thanks be unto God, which 
always causefh us to triumph in 
Christ, and maketh manifest "the sa- 
vour of his knowledge by us in every 
place. 

1 5 For we are unto God a sweet 
savour of Christ, "in them that are 
saved, and Pin them that perish :

Of the gospel ministration. 
of death unto death ; and to the other 
the savour of life unto life. And ""who 
is sufficient for these things ? 

17 For we are not as many, which 

Incorrupt the word of God"^: but as 

'of sincerity, but as of God, in the 

sight of God speak we || in Christ. 

CHAP. IH. 

1 Lest their false teachers should charge h im icith 
vainglory, he sheiceth the faith and graces of the 
Corinthians to he a sufficient commendation of 
his ministry. 6 Whereupon entering a compari- 
son beiureeri the ministers of the law and ofihe 
gospel, 12 heproreth that his ministry is sofai- 
the more excellent, as the gospel of life and liber- 
ty is more gloriousthan tlie law of condemnation. 

DO ''we begin again to commend 
ourselves ? or need we, as some 
others, ''epistles of commendation to 
you, or letters of commendation from 
you ? 

2 <^ Ye are our epistle written in our 
hearts, known and read of all men : 

3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly 
declared to be the episde of Christ 
''ministered by us, written not with 
ink, but with the Spirit of the living 
God : not <^in tables of stone, but ^in 
fleshly tables of the heart. 

4 And such trust have we through 
Christ to God- ward : 

5 eNot that we are sufficient of our- 
selves to think any thing as of our- 
selves ; but ''our sufficiency is of 
God; 

(> Who also hath made us able 
'ministers of ''the new testament; 
not 'of the letter, but of the spirit: 
for '"the letter killeth, "but the spirit 
jlgiveth life. 

7 But if "the ministration of death, 
P written and engraven in stones, was 
glorious, ISO that the children of Is- 
rael could not steadfastly behold the 
face of Moses for the glory of his 
countenance : which glory was to be 
done away : 

8 How shall not ■'the ministration 
of the Spirit be rather glorious ? 

9 For if the ministration of condem- 
nation he glory, much more doth the 
ministration « of righteousness exceed 
in glor}-. 

10 For even that which was made 
glorious had no glory in this respect, 
by reason of the glor}' that excelleth. 

i 1 For if that which is done away 
was glorious, much more that which 
remaineth is glorious. 

12 Seeing then that we have such

13 And not as 'Moses, "WmcA put 
anrail over his face, that the children 
of Israel could not steadfastly look to 
■^the end of that which is abohshed 

14 But )' their minds were blinded 
for until this day remaineth the same 
vail untaken away in the reading of 
the old testament; which vail\?, done 
away in Christ. vi / 

15 But even unto this day, when 
Moses is read, the vail is upon their 

heart. .;u;(!' : /" -r, - !•!-._ 

16 NeverthelesSj j^iwhen it shalLturn 
to the Lord,;* the ^tail shall be taken 
away. 

17 Now i^the Lord is that Spirit: 
and where the Spirit of the Lord is,; 
there is liberty. ' ■ "- 

18 But we all, with open face be 
holding c as in a glass 'ithe glory of 
the Lord, ^are changed into the same 
image from glory to glory, even as 
II by the Spirit of the Loi'd. 

CHAP. IV. 

l.yfle declareih lioio hehcith iised all sincerityand 
faithful diligenceinpreaching the gonpel,! and 
how the troubles and persecutions which he daily 
endured for the same did redound to tlie praise 
of God's power, 12 to the benefit of the Church, 
16 and to the apostle's oicn eternal glory. 

THEREFORE, seeing we have 
=ithis ministry, ^as we have re- 
ceived mercy, we faint not ; 

2 But have renounced the hidden 
thingsoff dishonesty : not walldng in 
craftiness, ^nor handling the word of 
God deceitfully; but, '^ by manifesta- 
tion of the truth, ^ commending our- 
selves to every man's conscience in 
the sight of God. - - 

3' But if rour gospel be hidi i^it is 
hid to them that are lost: 

4 In whom &the god of this world 
hhath blinded the minds of them 
which believe not, lest 'the light of 
the glorious gospel of Chi-ist, ^ who 
is the image, of God, should shine 
unto them, arip' y<J .bor) 1 

5 'For we preach'not ourselves, but 
Christ Jesus the Lord; and ■"our- 
selves your servants for Jesus' sake. 

6 For God, '^who commanded the 
light to shine out of darkness, f hath 
"shined in our hearts, to give Pthe 
light of the knowledge of the glory of 
God in the face of Jesus Christ.

CORINTHIANS. Good effect of godly sorrow. 

6 Nevertheless i^God, that comfort- 
eth those that are cast down, com- 
forted us by 'the coming of Titus ; 

7 And not by his coming only, but 
by the consolation wherewith he was 
comforted in you, when he told us 
your earnest desire, your mourning, 
your fervent mind toward me ; so 
that I rejoiced the more. 

8 For though I made you sorry with 
a letter, I do not repent, "> though I 
did repent : for I perceive that the 
same epistle hath made you sorry, 
though it were but for a season. 

9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were 
made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to 
repentance : for ye were made sorry 
II after a godly manner, that ye might 
receive damage by us in nothing. 

10 For "godly sorrow worketh re- 
pentance to salvation not to be re- 
pented of: "but the sorrow of the 
world worketh death. 

1 1 For behold this self-same thing, 
that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, 
what carefulness it wrought in you, 
yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, 
what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, 
what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, 
yea, what revenge ! In all things ye 
have approved yourselves to be clear 
in this matter. 

12 Wherefore, though I vprote unto 
you, / did it not for his cause that 
had done the wrong, nor for his cause 
that suffered wrong, Pbut that our 
care for you in the sight of God might 
appear unto you. 

13 Therefore we were comforted in 
your comfort: yea, and exceedingly 
the more joyed we for the joy of Ti- 
tus, because his spirit <iwas refreshed 
by you all. 

14 For if I have boasted any thing 
to him of you, I am not ashamed ; but 
as we spake all things to you in truth, 
even so our boasting, which / made 
before Titus, is found a truth. 

15 And his f inward affection is 
more abundant toward you, whilst he 
remembereth ""the obedience of you 
all, how with fear and trembling ye 
received him. 

16 1 rejoice therefore that =1 have 
confidence in you in all things.

to ihemselces thereby : 16 comm£nding to them 
the integrity and icitlingiiess of Titus, atul those 
oilier brethren, icho upon his request, exhorta- 
tion, and commendation, were purposely come 
to them for this business. 

MOREOVER, brethren, Ave do 
you to "svit of the grace of God 
bestowed on the churches of Mace- 
donia ; 

2 How that in a great trial of afflic- 
tion, the abundance of their joy, and 
a their deep poverty, abounded unto 
the riches of their f liberahty. 

3 For to t/ieir power, I bear record, 
yea, and beyond their power, they 
were willing of themselves ; 

4 Praying us with much entreaty, 
that we would receive the gift, and 
take upon us ^ the fellowship of the 
ministering to the saints. 

5 And th is they did, not as we hoped, 
but first gave their own selves to the 
Lord, and unto us by the will of God : 

6 Insomuch that = we desired Titus, 
that as lie had begun, so he would 
also finish in you the same || grace 
also. 

7 Therefore, as <Jye abound in every 
thing, in faith, and utterance, and 
knowledge, and iti all diligence, and 
in your love to us, see "^that ye a- 
bound in tliis grace also. 

8 ^l speak not by commandment, 
but by occasion of the forwardness of 
others, and to prove thft sincerity of 
your love. 

9 For ye know the grace of our 
Lord Jesus Christ, ?that though he 
was rich, yet for your sakes he be 
came poor, that ye through his po 
verty might be rich. 

10 And herein ''I give 7ny advice : 
for 'this is expedient for you, who 
have begun before, not only to do, 
but also to be f' forward a year ago 

11 Now therefore perform the doing 
of it ; that as there uas a readiness to 
will, so there may he a performance 
also out of that which ye have. 

12 For 'if there be first a willing 
mind, 27 is accepted according to that 
a man hath, and not according to 
that he hath not. 

13 For / mean not that other men 
be eased, and you burdened: 

14 But by an equality, tJiat now at 
this time your abundance may he a 
supply for their want,tliat their abun-

dance also may be a supply for your 
want : that there may be equality : 

15 As it is written, "He that had 
gathered much had nothing over ; 
and he that had gathered litde had 
no lack. 

16 But thanks he to God, which put 
the same earnest care into the heart 
of Titus for you. 

17 For indeed he accepted "the ex- 
hortation ; but being more forward, 
of his own accord he Avent unto you. 

18 And we have sent with him °the 
brother, whose praise is in the gos- 
pel throughout all the churches ; 

19 And not tlint only, but who was 
also P chosen of the churches to travel 
with us with tliis i| grace, which is 
administered by us ito the glon,' of 
the same Lord, and declaration of 
your ready mind: 

20 Avoiding this, that no man 
should blame us in this abundance 
which is administered by us: 

21 f Providing for honest things, 
not only in the sight of the Lord, but 
also in the sight of men. 

22 And we have sent with them our 
brother, whom we have oftentimes 
proved diligent in many things, but 
now much more diligent, upon the 
great confidence which |i/ have in 
you. 

23 Whether any do inquire of Ti- 
tus, he is my partner and fellow-helper 
concerning you : or our brethren he 
inquired of, they are ^the messengers 
of the churches, and the glorv of 
Christ. 

24 "Wherefore shew yc to them, and 
before the churches, the proof of your 
love, and of our 'boasting on your 
behalf. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 He yieldei}i tlie reason why, though he knew 
their forirardness, yet he sejit Titus and hit 
brethren beforehand. & And he proceedethin 
stirring them up to a bountiful alms, as being 
but a hind of soiriug of seed. 10 which shall re- 
turn a great increase to them, 13 and occasion 
a great sacrifice of llianlcsgicings tinto God. 

FOR as touching ''the ministering 
to the saints, it is superfluous 
for me to write to you: 

2 For I know ''the forwardness of 
your mind, "^ for which I boast of you 
to them of jNIacedonia, that <' Achaiaj 
was ready a year ago ; and your zeal 
hath provoked very many. 

3 e Yet have I sent the brethren, lest 

1133 



Alms-giving recommended. II. 

our boasting of you should be in vain 
in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may 
be ready: 

iii4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia 
come with me, and find you unpre- 
pared, we (that we say not, ye) should 
be ashamed in this same confident 
boasting. 

in5:Therefore I thought it necessary 
/tO" exhort the brethren, that they 
would go before unto you, and make 
up beforehand your f bounty, |1 .where- 
of ye had notice before, that the same 
might be ready, as a matter of boun- 
ty, and not as of covetousness. 

6 fBut this / say, He which sow- 
eth sparingly, shall reap also sparing- 
ly ; and he which soweth bountifully, 
shall reap also bountifully. 

7 Every man according as he pur- 
poseth in his heart, so let him give ; 
gnot grudgingly, or of necessity: for 
hGod loveth a cheerful giver. 

8 'And God is able to make all 
gi-ace abound toward you ; that ye, 
always having all sufficiency in all 
things, may abound to every good 
work: -'"''-' 

9 (As it is written, ^He hath dis- 
persed abroad ; he hath given to the 
poor : his righteousness remaineth 
forever. siaTguum''; 

10 Now, he that iminister*eth se^eo 
to the sower, both minister bread for 
your food, and multiply your seed 
sown, and increase the fruits of your 
I" righteousness ;) 

1 1 Being enriched in every thing to 
all lit bountifulness, "which causeth 
through us thanksgiving to God. 

12 For the administration of this 
service not only ° supplieth the want 
of the saints, but is abundant also by 
many thanksgivings unto God ; 

13 While by the experiment of this 
ministration they P glorify God for 
your professed subjection unto the 
gospel of Christ, and for your libe- 
ral idisti'ibution unto them^'and M-nto 
all men ; .9»fi't arfi :

CORINTHIANS. He glorieth in his infirmities. 

ther in the body, or out of the body, 
I cannot tell : God knoweth ;) 

4 How that he was caught up in- 
to ^paradise, and heard unspeakable 
words, which it is not || lawful for a 
man to utter. 

5 Of such a one will I glory : '■yet 
of myself I will not glory, but in mine 
infirmities. 

6 For ''though I would desire to 
glory, I shall not be a fool ; for I will 
say the truth: but now I forbear, lest 
any man should think of me above 
that which he seeth me to be, or that 
he heareth of me. 

7 And lest I should be exalted 
above measure through the abun- 
dance of the revelations, there was 
given to me a f thorn in the flesh, 
sthe messenger of Satan to buffet 
me, lest I should be exalted above 
measure. 

8 ^For this thing I besought the 
Lord thrice, that it might depart from 
me. 

9 And he said unto me. My grace 
is sufficient for thee : for my strength 
is made perfect in weakness. Most 
gladly therefore 'will I rather glory 
in my infirmities, ^that the power of 
Christ may rest upon me. 

10 Therefore U take pleasure in 
infirmities, in reproaches, in necessi- 
ties, in persecutions, in distresses for 
Christ's sake . ™for when I am weak, 
then am I strong. 

Ill am become "a fool in glory- 
ing ; ye have compelled me : for I 
ought to have been commended of 
you : for ° in nothing am I behind 
the very chiefest apostles, though pI 
be nothing. 

12 1 Truly the signs of an apostle 
were wrought among you in all pa- 
tience, in signs, and wonders, and 
mighty deeds. 

13 f For what is it wherein ye were 
inferior to other churches, except it 
be that s I myself was not burdensome 
to you? forgive me Hhis wrong. 

14 "Behold, the third time I am 
ready to come to you ; and I will not 
be burdensome to you: for ^I seek not 
yours, but you. yFor the children 
ought not to lay up for the parents, 
but the parents for the children.

5 To whom be glory for ever and 
ever. Amen. 

6 I marvel that ye are so soon re- 
moved ^from him that called you 
into the grace of Christ, unto an- 
other gospel : 

7 '^ Which is not another ; but there 
be some 'that trouble you, and would 
pervert the gospel of Christ. 

8 But though ""we, or an angel 
from heaven, preach any other gos- 
pel unto you than that which we have 
preached unto you, let him be ac- 
cursed. 

9 As we said before, so say I now 
again, If any man preach any other 
gospel unto you "than that ye have 
received, let him be accursed, 

10 For °do I now P persuade men, 
or God? or q do I seek to please men? 
for if I yet pleased men, I should not 
be the servant of Christ. 

11 ''But I certify you, brethren, 
that the gospel which was preached 
of me is not after man : 

12 For ^I neither received it of 
man, neither was 1 taught it, but 'by 
the revelation of Jesus Christ. 

13 For ye have heard of my con- 
versation in time past in the Jews' 
religion, how that "beyond measure 
I persecuted the church of God, and 
^wasted it ; 

14 And profited in the Jews' reli- 
gion above many my f equals in 
mine own nation, y being more ex- 
ceedingly zealous ^of the traditions 
of my fathers. 

15 But when it pleased God, ^who 
separated me from my mother's 
womb, and called me by his grace, 

16 •'To reveal his Son in me, that 
•=1 might preach him among the hea- 
then ; immediately I conferred not 
with f' flesh and blood: 

17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem 
to them which were apostles before 
me : but I went into Arabia, and re- 
turned again unto Damascus. 

18 Then after three years ^I || went 
up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and 
abode with him fifteen days. 

19 But f other of the apostles saw 
I none, save ffJames the Lord's bro- 
ther. 

20 Now the things which I write 
unto you, ^ behold, before God, I lie 
not.

. His zeal for the Gentiles'' freedom. 

21 'Afterwards I came into the re- 
gions of Syria and Cilicia ; 

22 And was unknown by face ''un- 
to the churches of Judea which 
'were in Christ : 

23 But they had heard only, That 
he which persecuted us in times past, 
now preacheth the faith which once 
he destroyed. 

24 And they glorified God in me. 

CHAP. 11. 

1 He sheiceih when lie went up again to Jerusa- 
lem, and for what purpose : 3 and that Titus 
was not circumcised : 11 and that he resisted 
Peter, and told him the reason, 14 why he and 
other, being Jews, do believe in Christ to be 
justified by faith, and not by works : 20 and 
that they live not in sin, who are so justified. 

HENfourteenyearsafter ^Iwent 
up again to Jerusalem with Bar- 
nabas, and took Titus with me also. 

2 And I went up by revelation, ''and 
communicated unto them that gospel 
which I preach among the Gentiles, 
but II privately to them which were 
of reputation, lest by any means <=I 
should run, or had run, in vain. 

3 But neither Titus, who was with 
me, being a Greek, was compelled to 
be circumcised : 

4 And that because of "^ false bre- 
thren unawares brought in, who came 
in privily to spy out our ^liberty 
which we have in Christ Jesus, ^that 
they might bring us into bondage : 

5 To whom we gave place by sub- 
jection, no, not for an hour ; that 
ffthe truth of the gospel might con- 
tinue with you. 

6 But of those, i^who seemed to be 
somewhat, whatsoever they were, it 
maketh no matter to me : ' God ac- 
cepteth no man's person : for they 
who seemed to be somewhat, ^m con- 
ference added nothing to me : 

7 But contrariwise, 'when they saw 
that the gospel of the uncircumci- 
sion "was committed unto me, as 
the gospel of the circumcision was 
unto Peter; 

8 (For he that wrought effectually 
in Peter to the apostleship of the 
circumcision, "the same was "migh- 
ty in me toward the Gentiles :) 

9 And when James, Cephas, and 
John, who seemed to be Ppillars, 
perceived ithe grace that was given 
unto me, they gave to me and Bar- 
nabas the right hands of fellow- 
ship ; that we should go unto the 

1138 



Paul's expostulation with Peter. 

heathen, and they unto the circum- 
cision. 

10 Only they would that we should 
remember the poor; ^the same which 
I also was forward to do. 

11 ^But when Peter was come to 
Antioch, I withstood him to the face, 
because he was to be blamed. 

12 For, before thatcertaincamefrom 
James, 'he did eat with the Gentiles : 
but when they were come, he with- 
drew, and separated himself, fearing 
them which were of the circumcision. 

13 And the other Jews dissembled 
likewise with him ; insomuch that 
Barnabas also was carried away with 
their dissimulation. 

14 But when I saw that they walk- 
ed not uprightly according to "the 
truth of the gospel, I said unto Pe- 
ter ^before thefn all, ylf thou, being 
a Jew, livest after the manner of 
Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, 
why compellest thou the Gentiles to 
live as do the Jews ? 

15 ^We who are Jews by nature, 
and not '^ sinners of the Gentiles, 

10 *> Knowing that a man is not jus- 
tified by the works of the law, but 
•^by the faith of Jesus Christ, even 
we have believed in Jesus Christ, that 
we might be justified by the faith of 
Christ, and not by the works of the 
law: for "^by the works of the law 
shall no flesh be justified. 

17 But if, while we seek to be jus- 
tified by Christ, we ourselves also are 
found ^sinners, is therefore Christ 
the minister of sin? God forbid. 

18 For if I buikl again the things 
which I destroyed, I make myself a 
transgressor. 

19 For I •" through the law eam 
dead to the law, that I might ''live 
unto God. 

20 I am 'crucified with Christ: ne 
vertheless,! live ; yet not I, but Christ 
liveth in me : and the life which I 
now live in the flesh, '^'I live by the 
faith of the Son of God, 'who loved 
me, and gave himself for me. 

21 I do not frustrate the grace of 
God : for ■" if righteousness come by 
the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Of justification hy faith. 

FOOLISH Galatians, ^who 
hath bewitched you, that ye 
should not obey ^the truth, before 
whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been 
evidently set forth, crucified among 
you? 

2 Thisonly would I learn of you,Re- 
ceived ye <=the Spirit by the works of 
the law, ''or by the hearing of faith ? 

3 Are ye so foolish? ^having begun 
in the Spirit, are ye now made per- 
fect by *"the flesh ? 

4 sHave ye suffered || somany things 
in vain ? if it he yet in vain. 

5 He therefore ''that ministereth to 
you the Spirit, and worketh miracles 
among you, cloeth he it by the works 
of the law% or by the hearing of faith? 

G Even as 'Abraham believed God, 
and it was || accounted to him for 
righteousness. 

7 Ivnow ye therefore, that ''they 
which are of faith, the same are the 
children of Abraham. 

8 And 'the scripture, foreseeing 
that God would justify the heathen 
through faith, preached before the 
gospel unto Abraham, saying, ^\i\ 
thee shall all nations be blessed. 

9 So then they which be of faith 
are blessed with faithful Abraham. 

10 For as many as are of the works 
of the law, are under the curse : for it 
is written, "Cursed is every one that 
continueth not in all things which 
are written in the book of the law to 
do them. 

11 But "that no man is justified by 
the law in the sight of God, it is evi- 
dent: for, PThe just shall five by 
faith. 

12 And ithe law is not of faith: 
but, ""The man that doeth them shall 
live in them. 

13 s Christ hath redeemed us from 
the curse of the law, being made a 
curse for us : for it is written, 'Cursed 
is every one that hangeth on a tree : 

14 "That the blessing of Abraham 
might come on the Gentiles through 
Jesus Christ ; that we might receive 
^the promise of the Spirit through 
faith. 

15 Brethren, I speak after the man- 
ner of men ; y Though it be but a 
man's || covenant, yet if it be confirm- 
ed, no man disannulleth or addeth 
thereto. 

1139 



All believers are justified. 

16 Now 2 to Abraham and his seed 
were the promises made. He saith 
not, And to seeds, as of many ; but 
as of one, And to thy seed, which 
is a^ Christ. 

17 And this I say, That the cove- 
nant that was confirmed before of 
God in Christ, the law, i* which was 
four hundred and thirty years after, 
cannot disannul, ^that it should make 
the promise of none effect. 

18 For if ''the inheritance be of the 
law, '^it is no more of promise : but 
God gave it to Abraham by promise. 

19 Wherefore then serveth the law ? 
*"It was added because of transgres- 
sions, till g^the seed should come to 
whom the promise was made ; and it 
was 'i ordained by angels in the hand 
^of a mediator. 

20 Now, a mediator is not a medi- 
ator of one ; '^but God is one. 

21 /s the law then against the pro- 
mises of God? God forbid: ' for if 
there had been a law given which 
could have given life, verily righte- 
ousness should have been by the law. 

22 But ""the scripture hath con- 
cluded "all under sin, "that the pro- 
mise by faith of Jesus Christ might 
be given to them that believe. 

23 But before faith came, we were 
kept under the law, shut up unto the 
faith which should afterwards be re- 
vealed. 

24 Wherefore Pthe law was our 
school-master io bring ms unto Christ, 
<lthat we might be justified by faith. 

25 But after that faith is come, we 
are no longer under a school-master. 

26 For ye ■'are all the children of 
God by faith in Christ Jesus. 

27 For 8 as many of you as have 
been baptized into Christ, Uiave put 
on Christ. 

28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, 
there is neither bond nor free, there 
is neither male nor female : for ye 
are all ^'one in Christ Jesus. 

29 And yif ye be Christ's, then are 
ye Abraham's seed, and ^ heirs ac- 
cording to the promise. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 We were under the law till Christ came, as the 
heir is under his guardian till he be of age. 5 
But Christ freed us from the law: "t therefore 
we are servants no longer to it. 14 He remem- 
hereth their good will to him, and his to them, 
22 and sheiceth thai ice are the sons of Abraham 
l>y the free-woman.

Paul repr-ovelh the Galatians. 

OW I say. That the heir, as 
long as he is a child, differeth 
nothing from a servant, thougii he 
be lord of all ; 

2 But is under tutors and governors 
until the time appointed of the fa- 
ther. 

3 Even so we, when we were chil- 
dren, S'Were in bondage under the 
II elements of the world : 

4 But Ij when the fulness of the time 
was come, God sent forth his Son, 
<=made ^of a woman, emade under 
the law, 

5 f To redeem them that were under 
the law, gthat we might receive the 
adoption of sons. 

6 And because ye are sons, God 
hath sent forth ''the Spirit of his Son 
into your hearts, crying, Abba, Fa- 
ther. 

7 Wherefore thou art no more a 
servant, but a son; 'and if a son, 
then an heir of God through Christ. 

8 Howbeit then, "^when ye knew 
not God, lye did service unto them 
which by nature are no gods. 

9 But now, n> after that ye have 
known God, or rather are known of 
God, ° how turn ye [j again to "the 
weak and beggarly ||elements,>where' 
unto ye desire again to be in bondage ? 

10 PYe observe days, and months, 
and times, and years. 

11 I am afraid of you, qlest I have 
bestowed upon you labour in vain. 

12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as 

I am ; for I am as ye are : ''ye have 
not injured me at all. 

13 Ye know how through infirmity 
of the flesh I preached the gospel 
unto you tat the first. 

14 And my temptation which was 
in my flesh ye despised not, nor re- 
jected ; but received me "as an angel 
of God, ^even as Christ Jesus. 

15 II Where is then the blessedness 
ye spake of? for I bear you record, 
that, if it had been possible, ye would 
have plucked out your own eyes, and 
have given them to me. 

16 Am I therefore become your ene- 
my y because I tell you the truth ? 

17 They z zealously affect you, but 
not well ; yea, they would exclude 

II you, that ye might affect them. 

18 But it is good to be zealously 
affected always in a good thi7ig, and

The allegory of Agar and Sara. 

not only when I am present with 
you. 

19 ^My little children, of whom I 
travail in birth again, until Christ be 
formed in you, 

20 I desire to be present with you 
now, and to change my voice ; for 
II I stand in doubt of you. 

21 Tell me, ye that desire to be un- 
der the law, do ye not hear the law ? 

22 For it is written, that Abraham 
had two sons ; ^the one by a bond- 
maid, <=the other by a free-woman. 

23 But he wlio was of the bond- wo- 
man, ''was born after the flesh ; ^but 
he of the free- woman icus by promise. 

24 Which things are an allegory : 
for these are the two || covenants ; the 
one from the mount f '"Sinai, which 
gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 

2.5 For this Agar is mount Sinai in 
Arabia, and ||answerethto Jerusalem 
which now is, and is in bondage with 
her children. 

20 But gJerusalem which is above 
is free, which is the mother of us all. 

27 For it is written, ''Rejoice, thou 
barren that bcarest not ; break fortli 
and crj', thou that travailest not : for 
the desolate hath many more children 
than she which hath a husband. 

28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, 
are 'the children of promise. 

29 But as then ''he that was born 
after the flesh [>ersecuted him thai 
was horn after the Sjjirit, 'even so it 
is now. 

30 Nevertheless, what saith "'the 
scripture? "Cast out the bond- wo- 
man and her son : for " the son of the 
bond-woman shall not be heir with 
the son of the free-woman. 

31 So then, brethren, we are not 
children of the bond-woman, Pbut of 
the free.

that is circumcised, ^that he is a 
debtor to do the whole law. 

4 «> Christ is become of no effect 
unto you, whosoever of you are jus- 
tified by the law ; fye are fallen from 
grace. 

5 For we through the Spirit swait 
for the hope of I'ighteousness by 
faith. 

6 For ''in Jesus Christ neither cii'- 
cumcision availeth any thing, nor 
uncircumcision ; but 'faith which 
worketh by love. 

7 Ye If did run well; ' || who did 
hinder you that ye should not obey 
the truth ? 

8 This persuasion cometh not of 
him ""that calleth you. 

9 "^A little leaven leavenetli the 
whole lump. 

1 ° I have confidence in you through 
the Lord, that ye will be none other- 
wise minded : but Phe that troubleth 
you '1 shall bear his judgment, who- 
soever he be. 

1 1 "^ And I, brethren, if I yet preach 
circumcision, ^why do I yet suffer 
persecution? then is 4he oflfence of 
the cross ceased. 

12 "I would they were even cut oflT 
^which trouble you. 

13 For, brethren, ye have been call- 
ed unto liberty ; only vuse not li- 
berty for an occasion to the flesh, 
but ^by love serve one another. 

14 For ''all the law is fulfilled in 
one word, even in this, ''Thou shalt 
love thy neighbour as thyself. 

15 But if ye bite and devour one 
another, take heed that ye be not 
consumed one of another. 

16 This I say then, ^Walk in the 
Spirit, and || ye shall not fulfil the 
lust of tlie flesh. 

17 For ''the flesh lusteth against 
the Spirit, and the Spirit against the 
flesh : and these are contrary the one 
to the other; ego that ye cannot do 
the things that ye would. 

18 But fif ye be led by the Spirit, 
ye are not under the law. 

19 Now sthe works of the flesh are 
manifest, which are these, Adultery, 
fornication, uncleanness, lascivious- 
ness, 

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, va- 
riance, emulations, wrath, strife, se- 
ditions, heresies, 

1141 



The fruit of the Spirit. 

21 Envyings, murders, drunken- 
ness, revellings, and such like : of 
the which I tell you before, as I have 
also told you in time past, that i^they 
which do such things shall not inhe- 
rit the kingdom of God. 

22 But ithe fruit of the Spirit is 
love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kgen- 
tleness, 'goodness, ""faith, 

23Meekness, temperance : "against 
such there is no law. 

24 And they that are Christ's °have 
crucified the flesh, with the || affec- 
tions and lusts. 

25 P If we live in the Spirit, let us 
also walk in the Spirit. 

28 qLet us not be desirous of vain- 
glory, provoking one another, envy- 
ing one another.

spiritual, restore such a one ^in the 
spirit of meekness ; considering thy- 
self, t^lest thou also be tempted. 

2 <=Bear ye one another's burdens, 
and so fulfil ^the law of Christ. 

3 For &if a man think himself to be 
something, when ''he is nothing, he 
deceiveth himself. 

4 But "let every man prove his own 
work, and then shall he have rejoic- 
ing in himself alone, and ""^ not in an- 
other. 

5 For 'every man shall bear his 
own burden. 

6 ""Let him that is taught in the 
word, communicate unto him that 
teacheth in all good things.

soweth, that shall he also reap. 

8 qFor he that soweth to his flesh, 
shall of the flesh reap corruption : but 
he that soweth to the Spirit, shall of 
the Spirit reap life everlasting. 

9 And ""let us not be weary in well- 
"•oing : for in due season we shall 
reaj- ^if we faint not. 

10 t As we have therefore opportu- 
nity, "let us do good unto all men, 
especially unto them who are of ''the 
household of faith. 

1 1 Ye see how large a letter I have 
written unto you with mine own hand. 

12 As many as desire to make a 
fair shew in the flesh, y they constrain 
you to be circumcised ; ^only lest 
they should ^^ suffer pei'secution for 
the cross of Christ. 

1 3 For neither they themselves who 
are circumcised keep the law ; but 
desire to have you circumcised, that 
they may glory in your flesh. 

14 i- But God forbid that I should 
glory, save in the cross of our Lord 
Jesus Christ, || by whom the world is 
c crucified unto me, and I unto the 
world. 

15 Foi- ^in Christ Jesus neither cir- 
cumcision availeth any thing, nor un- 
circumcision, but "^a new creature. 

1 6 f And as m any as walk s according 
to this rule, peace he on them, and 
mercy, and upon ^the Israel of God. 

17 From henceforth let no man 
trouble me : for ' I bear in my body 
the marks of the Lord Jesus.

Jesus Christ he with your spirit.

our conversation in times past in 
g the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling f the

and '' were by nature the children of 
wrath, even as others. 

4 But God, 'who is rich in mercy, 
for his great love wherewith he lov-

5 ''Even when we were dead in sins, 
hath ' quickened us together with

13 '^But now, in Christ Jesus, ye,

. The salvation of the Gentiles revealed. 

3 f^How that ^by revelation she 
made known unto me the mystery, 
has I wrote || afore in few words ; 

4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may 
understand my knowledge 'in the 
mystery of Christ, 

5 ''Which in other ages was not 
made known unto the sons of men, 
'as it is now revealed unto his holy 
apostles and prophets by the Spirit ; 

6 That the Gentiles '"should be fel- 
low-heirs, and "of the same body, 
and ° partakers of his promise in 
Christ by the gospel : 

7 P Whereof I was made a minister, 
q according to the gift of the grace of 
God given unto me by ""the effectual 
working of his power. 

8 Unto me, ^ who am less than the 
least of all saints, is this grace giv- 
en, that 'I should preach among the 
Gentiles " the unsearchable riches of 
Christ ; 

9 And to make all men see what 
is the fellowship of ^ the mystery, 
y which from the beginning of the 
world hath been hid in God, ^who 
created all things by Jesus Christ : 

10 ^'To the intent that now ''unto 
the principahties and powers in hea- 
venly pZ^ces "^ might be known by the 
church the manifold wisdom of God, 

11 •'According to the eternal pur- 
pose which he purposed in Christ 
Jesus our Lord : 

12 In whom we have boldness and 
<^ access 'with confidence by the faith 
of him. 

1 3 g Wherefore I desire that ye faint 
not at my tribulations ''for you, 'which 
is your glory. 

14 For this cause I bow my knees 
unto the Father of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, 

15 Of whom ^the whole family in 
heaven and earth is named, 

16 That he would grant you, 'ac- 
cording to the riches of his glory, "to 
be strengthened with might by his 
Spirit in "the inner man; 

17 "That Christ may dwell in your 
hearts by faith ; that ye, P being root- 
ed and grounded in love, 

18 qMay be able to comprehend 
with all saints rwhat is the breadth, 
and length, and depth, and height ; 

19 And to know the love of Christ, 
which passeth knowledge, that ye 

1144 



Exhortations to unity, 

might be filled ^with all the fulness 
of God. 

20 Now tunto him that is able to 
do exceeding abundantly " above all 
that we ask or think, -^ according to 
the power that worketh in us, 

21 >■ Unto him be glorj' in the church 
by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, 
world without end. Amen. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 He exhorleth to unity. 7 and declareth that 
God titerefore giteth divers 11 gifts unto men, 
that his church might he 13 edified, and 16 
grown up in Christ. 13 He calletJt them from 
Uie impurity of Vie Gentiles, 24 to put on the 
■new man, L'o to cast off lying, and 29 corrupl 
communication. 

I THEREFORE, ''the prisoner 
II of the Lord, beseech you that 
ye ''walk worthy of the vocation 
wherewith ye are called, 

2 ''With all lowliness and meek- 
ness, witii long-sufiering, forbearing 
one another in love ; 

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity 
of the Spirit ^\\\ the bond of peace. 

4 " There is one body, and ^one 
Spirit, even as ye arc called in one 
shopc of your calling; 

5 ''One Lord, 'one faith, '^one bap- 
tism, 

G 'One God and Father of all, who 
is above all, and '"through all, and 
in you all. 

7 But "unto every one of us is 
given grace according to the mea- 
sure of the gift of Christ. 

8 Wherefore he saith, "When he 
ascended up on high, nhe led || capti- 
vity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 

9 <iNow that he ascended, what is 
it but that he also descended first 
into the lower parts of the earth? 

10 He that descended is the same 
also "^that ascended up far above all 
heavens, "that he might ||fill all 
things. 

11 'And he gave some, apostles; 
and some, prophets ; and some, " evan- 
gelists ; and some, -''pastors and 
y teachers ; 

12 ^For the perfecting of the 
saints, for the work of the ministry, 
"for the edifying of ''the body of 
Christ : 

13 Till we all come jjin the unity 
of the faith, ''and of the knowledge 
of the Son of God, unto ''a perfect 
man, unto the measure of the || sta- 
ture of the fulness of Christ :

To avoid fornication, uncleanness, ^c. EPHESIANS 

1 that which is good H to the use of 
edifying, ^ that it may minister grace 
unto the hearers. 

30 And "grieve not the Holy Spirit 
of God, ° whereby ye are sealed unto 
the day of p redemption. 

31 qLet all bitterness, and wrath, 
and anger, and clamour, and ^ evil- 
speaking, be put away from you, 
«with all malice : 

32 And tbe ye kind one to another, 
tender-hearted, "forgiving one an- 
other, even as God for Christ's sake 
hath forgiven you. 

CHAP. V. 

2 After general exhortations, to love, 2 to fly for- 
nication, 4 atid all uncleanness, 7 not to con- 
verse with the wicked, 15 to walk warily, and to 
be 18 filled with the Spirit, 22 he descendeth to 
the particular duties, how tvives ought to obey 
their husbands, 25 and husbands ought to love 
their wives, 32 even as Christ doth his church. 

BE =iye therefore followers of God 
as dear children ; 

2 And b-vvalk in love, ^as Christ 
also hath loved us, and hath given 
himself for us an offering and a sa- 
crifice to God '^ for a sweet-smelling 
savour. 

3 But e fornication, and all unclean- 
ness, or covetousness, ^let it not be 
once named among you, asbecometh 
saints ; 

4 s Neither filthiness, nor foolish 
talking, nor jesting, ''which are not 
convenient : but rather giving of 
thanks. 

5 For this ye know, that 'no whore- 
monger, nor unclean person, nor co- 
vetous man, i^who is an idolater, 
'hath any inheritance in the king- 
dom of Christ and of God. 

6 ™Let no man deceive you with 
vain words : for because of these 
things "Cometh the wrath of God 
"upon the children of 1| disobedi- 
ence. 

7 Be not ye therefore partakers with 
them. 

8 P For ye were sometime darkness, 
but now q are ye light in the Lord : 
walk as '^children of light ; 

9 (For sthe fruit of the Spirit is in 
all goodness, and righteousness, and 
truth ;) 

10 t Proving what is acceptable 
unto the Lord. 

11 And "have no fellowship with 
^the unfruitful works of darkness, 
but rather y reprove them.

The duties of wives, husbands, 

12 ^For it is a shame even to speak 
of those things which are done of 
them in secret. 

13 But 3. all things that are || re- 
proved, are made manifest by the 
light : for whatsoever doth make 
manifest is light. 

14 Wherefore ||he saith, •'Awake, 
thou that sleepest, and •= arise from 
the dead, and Christ shall give thee 
light. 

15 ^See then that ye walk circum- 
spectly, not as fools, but as wise, 

16 <= Redeeming the time, f because 
the days are evil. 

17 8 Wherefore be ye not unwise, 
but ^' understanding ' what the will 
of the Lord is. 

18 And ^he not drunk with wine, 
wherein is excess ; but be filled with 
the Spirit ; 

19Speakingtoyourselves'inpsalms, 
and hymns, and spiritual songs, sing- 
ing and making melody in your heart 
to the Lord, 

20 "1 Giving thanks always for all 
things unto God and the Father, "in 
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 

21 ° Submitting yourselves one to 
another in the fear of God. 

22 P Wives, submit yourselves un- 
to your own husbands, q as unto the 
Lord. 

23 For ""the husband is the head of 
the wife, even as ^ Christ is the head 
of the chui-ch : and he is the Saviour 
of 'the body. 

24 Therefore as the church is sub- 
ject unto Christ, so let the wives be to 
their own husbands "in every thing. 

25 '^Husbands, love your wives, 
even as Christ also loved the church, 
and ygave himself for it ; 

26 That he might sanctify and 
cleanse it ^with the washing of wa ■ 
ter 'iby the word, 

27 ''That he might present it to 
himself a glorious church, <=not hav- 
ing spot or wrinkle, or any such 
thing; ^but that it should be holy 
and without blemish. 

28 So ought men to love theirwives, 
as their own bodies. He that loveth 
his wife loveth himself. 

29 For no man ever yet hated his 
own flesh; but nourisheth and che- 
risheth it, even as the Lord the 
church :

body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 

31 ^For this cause shall a man leave 
his father and mother, and shall be 
joined unto his wife, and they &tvvo 
shall be one flesh. 

32 This is a great mystery : but I 
speak concerning Christ and the

' reverence her husband. i iPet. 3. 6. 

CHAP. VI. 

1 The duty of cltildrcnloirards their parents, oof 
servants towards their inasters. 10 Our life is 
a warfare, Vi, not only Oi^ainst flesh and blood, 
but also spiritual enemies. Yi The complete 
armour of a Christian, IB and hoir it ought 
to be used. 21 Tychicus is commended. 

CHILDREN, a obey your parents 
in the Lord : for this is right. 

2 ''Honour thy father and mother, 
(which is the first commandment 
with promise,) 

3 Tliat it may be well with thee, and 
thou mayest live long on the earth. 

4 And, = ye fathers, provoke not your 
children to wrath : but "^ bring them 
up in the nurture and admonition of 
the Lord. 

5 ^Servants, be obedient to them 
that are your masters according to 
the flesh, ^with fear and trembling, 
ein singleness of your heart, as unto 
Christ ; 

6 •'Not with eye-service, as men- 
pleasers : but as the servants of Christ, 
doing the will of God from the heart ; 

7 With good will doing service, as 
to the Lord, and not to men : 

8 "Knowing that whatsoever good | .1, {l"™-,--,^; 
thing any man doeih, the same shall 
he receive of the Lord, ■< whether he 
he bond or free. 

9 And, ye 'masters, do the same 
things unto them, || ■" forbearing 
threatening : knowing that || " your 
Master also is in heaven ; "neither 
is there respect of persons with him. 

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong 
in the Lord, and Pin the power of 
his might. 

11 iPut on the whole armour of 
God, that ye may be able to stand 
against the wiles of the devil.

15 =^And your feet shod with the

IG Above all, taking ''the shield of 
faith, wherewith ye shall be able to 
quench all the fiery darts of the 
wicked. 

17 And ctake the helmet of salva- 
tion, and "^the sword of the Spirit, 
which is the word of God : 

18 ^Praying always with all prayer 
and supplication in the Spirit, and 
^watching thereunto with all perse- 
verance and g supplication for all

19 ''And for me, that utterance may

H The Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the PHILLIPPIANS. 
CHAP. I. 



3 He testifieili his fliankfulness to God, and his 
love toward them, for the fruits of their faith, 
and fellowship in his sufferings, 9 daily prun- 
ing- to him for their increase in grace: 12 he 
sheweth what good the faith of Christ had re- 
ceived by his troubles at Rome, 21 and hoio 
ready he is to glorify Christ either by his life 
or death, 27 exhorting them to unity, 28 and 
to fortitude in persecution. 

)AUL and Timotheus, the ser- 
vants of Jesus Christ, to all the 
saints ^'in Christ Jesus which are at 
Philippi, with the bishops and dea- 
cons : 

2 ''Grace he unto you, and peace, 
from God our Father, and from the 
Lord Jesus Christ. 

3 <= I thank my God upon every H re- 
membrance of you, 

4 Always in every prayer of mine 
for you all making request with joy, 

5 ^¥ov your fellowship in the gos- 
pel from the first day until now ; 

6 Being confident of this very thing, 
that he which hath begun ^a good 
work in you, || will perform it *"until 
the day of Jesus Christ : 

7 Even as it is meet for me to think 
this of you all, because || I have you 
?in my heart; inasmuch as both in 
'i my bonds, and in ' the defence and 
confirmation of the gospel, ^^ye all 
are || partakers of my grace. 

8 For iGod is my record, ™how 
greatly I long after you all in the 
bowels of Jesus Christ. 

9 And this I pray, "that your love 
may abound yet more and more in 
knowledge and in all || judgment ; 

10 That °ye may || approve things 
that II are excellent ; Pthat ye may be 
sincere and without offence 4 till the 
day of Christ; 

11 Being filled with the fruits of 
righteousness, ■■ which are by Jesus 
Christ, sunto the glory and praise of 
God. 

12 But I would ye should under- 
stand, brethren, that the things vihich 
happened unto me have fallen out 
rather unto the furtherance of the 
gospel ; 

13 So that my bonds || in Christ 
are manifest ^in all || the palace, and 
II in all other places ; 

14 And many of the brethren in the 
Lord, waxing confident by my bonds.

are much more bold to speak the 
word without fear. 

15 Some indeed preach Christ even 
of envy and "strife ; and some also of 
good will. 

16 The one preach Christ of con- 
tention, not sincerely, supposing to 
add affliction to my bonds : 

17 But the other of love, knowing 
that I am set for ^the defence of the 
gospel. 

18 What then? notwithstanding, 
every way, whether in pretence or in 
truth, Christ is preached; and I there- 
in do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 

19 For I know that this shall turn 
to my salvation ythrough your prayer, 
and the supply of ^the Spirit of Jesus 
Christ, 

20 According to my a earnest expec- 
tation, and my hope, that ''in nothing 
I shall be ashamed, but that ^with all 
boldness, as always,sonowalso,Christ 
shall be magnified in my body, whe- 
ther it he by life, or by death. 

21 For to me to live is Christ, and 
to die is gain. 

22 But if I live in the flesh, this 
is the fruit of my labour : yet what 
I shall choose I wot not. 

23 For *^ I am in a strait betwixt two, 
having a desire to *= depart, and to be 
with Christ ; which is far better : 

24 Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh 
is more needful for you. 

25 And fhaving this confidence, I 
know that I shall abide and continue 
with you all for your furtherance and 
joy of faith ; 

26 That gyour rejoicing may be 
more abundant in Jesus Christ for 
me by my coming to you again. 

27 Only ''let your conversation be 
as it becometh the gospel of Christ : 
that whether I come and see you, or 
else be absent, I may hear of your 
affairs, 'that ye stand fast in one 
spirit, kwith one mind 'striving to- 
gether for the faith of the gospel ; 

28 And in nothing terrified by your 
adversaries: >" which is to them an 
evident token of perdition, "but to 
you of salvation, and that of God. 

29 For unto you « it is given in the 
behalf of Christ, P not only to believe 
on him, but also to suffer for his sake ;

lity and exaltation : 12 to a careful proceeding 
in the may of salvation, that they be as lights to

19 He hopeth to send Timothy to Ihem, trhom 
he greatly contmendeth, So as Epuphroditus 
also, whom he presently sendeth to litem.

if any •'bowels and mercies, 

2 = Fulfil ye my joy, ^^that ye be

3 ^Let nothing he done through

than themselves. 

4 ?Look not every man on his own 
things, but every man also on the 
things of others. 

5 ''Let this mind be in you, which 
was also in Christ Jesus : 

G Who, 'being in the form of God, 
•'thouglit it not robbery to be equal 
with God : 

7 'But made himself of no reputa- 
tion, and took upon him the form 
'"of a servant, and "was made in the 

II likeness of men : 

8 And being found in fashion as a 
man, he humbled himself, and "be- 
came obedient unto death, even the 
death of the cross. 

9 Wherefore God also Phath highly 
exalted him, and 'i given him a name 
which is above every name : 

10 r That at the name of Jesus eveiy 
knee siiould bow, of things in heaven, 
and things in earth, and things under 
llic earth ; 

11 And ^ that every tongue should 
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to 
the glory of God the Father. 

12 Wherefore, my beloved, 'as ye 
have always obeyed, not as in my 
presence only, but now much more 
in my absence, work out your own 
salvation with " fear and trembling.

that ^I may rejoice in the day of 
Christ, that ^I have not run in vain, 
neither laboured in vain. 

17 Yea, and if si be | offered upon 
the sacrifice ''and service of your 
faith, 'I joy, and rejoice with you all. 

18 For the same cause also do ye 
joy, and rejoice with me. 

19 II But I trust in the Lord Jesus 
to send i^Timotheus shortly unto 
you, that I also may be of good com- 
fort, when I know your state. 

20 For I have no man '|| like-mind- 
ed, who will naturally care for your 
state. 

21 For all niseek their own, not the 
things which are Jesus Christ's. 

22 But ye know the proof of him, 
"that as a son with the father, he 
hath served with me in the gospel. 

23 Him therefore I hope to send 
presently, so soon as I shall see how 
it will go with me. 

24 But °I trust in the Lord that I 
also myself shall come shortly. 

25 Yet I supposed it necessary to 
send to you pEpaplii'oditus, my bro- 
ther, and companion in labour, and 
1 fellow-soldier, ■■ but your messenger, 
and ^hc tiiat ministered to my wants. 

20 'For he longed after you all, and 
was full of heaviness, because that ye 
had heard that he had been sick. 

27 For indeed he was sick nigh unto 
death : but God had mercy on him ; 
and not on him only, but on me also, 
lest I should Iiave sorrow upon sorrow. 

28 I sent him therefore tlie more 
carefully, that, when ye see him again, 
ye may rejoice, and that I may be 
the less sorrowful. 

29 Receive him therefore in the 
Lord witii all gladness; and || "hold 
such in reputation : 

30 Because for the work of Christ 
he was nigh unto death, not regard- 
ing his life, -^to supply your lack of 
service toward me.

greater cause than they to trust in the righte-

Paul giveth up all for Christ. PHILIPPI AN S 



ousness of the law : 7 which notwithstanding he 
counteth as dung- and loss, to gain Christ and 
his righteousness, 12 therein acknowledging his 
own imperfection. 15 He exhorteth them to be 
thus minded, 17 and to imitate him, 18 and to 
decline the ways of carnal Christians. 

FINALLY, my brethren, ^rejoice 
in the Lord. To write the same 
things to you, to me indeed is not 
grievous, but for you it is safe. 

2 •'Beware of dogs, beware of ^evil- 
workers, <J beware of the concision. 

3 For we are <=the circumcision, 
fwhich worship God in the Spirit, 
and g rejoice in Christ Jesus, and 
have no confidence in the flesh. 

4 Though ^I might also have con- 
fidence in the flesh. If any other man 
thinketh that he hath whereof he 
might trust in the flesh, I more : 

5 i Circumcised the eighth day, ^of 
the stock of Israel, ^of the tribe of 
Benjamin, "a Hebrew of the He- 
brews ; as touching the law, " a Pha- 
risee ; 

6 oConcei'ning zeal, P persecuting 
the church ; q touching the righte- 
ousness which is in the law, ''blame- 
less. 

7 But s-what things were gain to 
me, those I counted loss for Christ. 

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all 
things hut loss tfor the excellency of 
the knowledge of Christ Jesus my 
Lord : for whom I have suffered the 
loss of all things, and do count them 
hut dung, that I may win Christ, 

9 And be found in him, not having 
"mine own righteousness, which is of 
the law, but "that which is through 
the faith of Christ, the righteousness 
which is of God by faith : 

10 That I may know him, and the 
power of his resurrection, and ythe 
fellowship of his sufferings, being 
made conformable unto his death : 

11 If by any means I might ^ attain 
unto the resurrection of the dead. 

12 Not as though I had already a- at- 
tained, either were already ''perfect: 
but I follow after, if that I may 
apprehend that for which also I am 
apprehended of Christ Jesus. 

13 Brethren, I count not myself to 
have apprehended : but this one thing 
I do, <= forgetting those things which 
are behind, and "^reaching forth unto 
those things which are before,

his saints :

all wisdom ; Pthat we may present 
every man perfect in Christ Jesus :

I He still exhorteth them to be constant in Christ, 
8 to beware of philosophy, and vain traditions, 
18 worshipping of angels, 20 and legal ceremo- 
nies, which are ended in Christ. 

FOR I would that ye knew what 
great || a-conffict I have for you, 
and /or them at Laodicea, and /or as 
many as have not seen my face in 
the flesh ; 

2 ^That their hearts might be com- 
forted, c being knit together in love, 
and unto all riches of the full assur- 
ance of understanding, ^to the ac- 
knowledgment of the mystery of 
God,andof the Father, and of Christ; 

3 II (^In whom are hid all the trea- 
sures of wisdom and knowledge.

beguile you with enticing words. 

5 For s though I be absent in the 
flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, 
joying and beholding hyour order, 
and the ' steadfastness of your faith in 
Christ.

Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in 
him : 

7 iRooted and built up in him, and 
stablished in the faith, as ye have 
been taught, abounding therein with 
thanksgiving. 

8 ""Beware lest any man spoil you 
through philosophy and vain deceit,

II o rudiments of the world, and not 
after Christ. 

9 For Pin him dwelleth all the ful-

cised with the circumcision made 
without hands, in "putting off the 
body of the sins of the flesh by the 
circumcision of Christ : 

12 ^Buried with him in baptism, 
wherein also yye are risen with hirn 
through ^the faith of the operation 
of God, a who hath raised Mm from 
the dead. 

13 ''And you, being dead in your 
sins and the uncircumcision of your 
flesh, hath he quickened together with 
him, having forgiven you all tres- 
passes ; 

14 = Blotting out the hand-w'riting 
of ordinances that was against us, 
which was contrary to us, and took it 
out of the way, nailing it to his cross

CHAP. ni. Exhortation to heavenly-mindedness, 

exhorieth io mortification, 10 to put off the old 
man, and to put on Christ, 12 exhorting to cha- 
rity, humilitij, and other several duties. 

F ye then a be risen with Christ, 
seek those things which are above, 

where ^ Christ sitteth on the right 

hand of God. 

2 Set your |i ciflection on things a- 
bove, not on things on the earth. 

3 <:Forye are dead, <iand your hfe 
is hid with Christ in God. 

4 6 When Christ, who is ^our life, 
shall appear, then shall ye also ap- 
pear with him &in glory. 

5 'i Mortify therefore 'your mem- 
bers which are upon the earth ; ^ for- 
nication, uncleanness, inordinate af- 
fection, 'evil concupiscence, and 
covetousness, "" which is idolatry: 

6 "For which things' sake the 
wrath of God cometh on "the chil- 
dren of disobedience: 

7 pin the which ye also walked some 
time, when ye lived in them. 

8 iBut now ye also put off" all these; 
anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, "^fil- 
thy communication out of your mouth. 

9 s Lie not one to another, * seeing 
that ye have put olFthe old man with 
his deeds ; 

10 And have put on the new man, 
which "is renewed in knowledge ^af- 
ter the image of him that y created 
him : 

11 Where there is neither ^ Greek 
nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircum- 
cision. Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor 
free: ^^but Christ is all, and in all. 

12 ''Put on therefore, <^as the elect 
of God, holy and beloved, ''bowels 
of mercies, kindness, humbleness of 
mind, meekness, long-suffering ; 

13 ^Forbeai-ing one another, and 
forgiving one another, if any man 
have a || quarrel against any : even as 
Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 

14 '"And above all these things sput 
on charity, which is the iibond of per- 
fectness. 

15 And let 'the peace of God rule 
in your hearts, ''to the which also ye 
are called 'in one body; fnand be ye 
thankful. 

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in 
you richly in all wisdom ; teaching 
and admonishing one another "in 
psalms, and hymns, and spiritual 
songs, singing "with grace in your 
hearts to the Lord.

Thessalonians which is in God the 

Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ : 

'•Grace be unto you, and peace, from 

God our Father and the Lord Jesus 

Christ. 

2 cWe give thanks to God always 
for you ail, making mention of you 
in our prayers ; 

3 <^ Remembering without ceasing 
«^your work of faith, f and labour of 
love, and patience of hope in our 
Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of 
God and our Father ; 

4 Knowing, bretliren 1| beloved, 
Byour election of God, 

5 For hour gospel came not unto 
you in word only, but also in power, 
and 'in the Holy Ghost, ''and in much 
assurance ; as 'ye know what manner 
of men we were among you for your 
sake. 

6 And "lye became followers of us, 
and of the Lord, having received the 
word in much affliction, "with joy of 
the Holy Ghost : 

7 So that ye were ensamples to all 
that believe in Macedonia and A- 
chaia. 

8 For from you » sounded out the 
word of the Lord not only in Mace- 
donia and Achaia, but also Pin every 
place your faith to God-ward is spread 
abroad ; so that we need not to speak 
any thing. 

9 For tiiey themselves shew of us 
1 what manner of entering in we had 
unto you, ' and how ye turned to God 
from idols, to serve the living and true 
God ; 

10 And «to wait for his Son 'from 
heaven, "whom he raised from the 
dead, even Jesus, which delivered us 
-^from the wrath to come. 

CHAP. H. 

1 In what manner tlie gospel was brought and . 

preached to the Thessalonians, and in what sort j Rom. 5. 9. 
also they received it. 13 A reason is rendered '^''' *■ "' 
both why Saitit Paul teas so long absent from 
them, and also why he was so desirous to see 
them. 

FOR ^yourselves, brethren, know 
our entrance in unto you, that 
it was not in vain : 

2 But even after that we had suffer- 
ed before, and were shamefully en- 
treated, as ye know, at '•Philippi, 
^we were bold in our God ''to speak 
unto you the gospel of God '^with 
much contention.

deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in 
guile; 

4 But as ewe were allowed of God 
•^to be put in trust with the gospel, 
even so we speak ; 'not as pleasing 
men, but God, i^ which trieth our 
hearts. 

5 For 'neither at any time used we 
flattering words, as ye know, nor a 
cloak of covetousness ; "' God is wit- 
ness : 

6 °Nor of men sought we glory, 
neither of you, nor yet of others, 
when °we might have ||been Pbur- 
densome, las the apostles of Christ. 

7 But i^we were gentle among you, 
even as a nurse cherisheth her chil- 
dren : 

8 So being affectionately desirouis 
of you, we were willing ^to have im- 
parted unto you, not the gospel of 
God only, but also 'our own souls, 
because ye were dear unto us. 

9 For ye remember, brethren, our 
labour and travail : for " labouring 
night and day, ''because we would 
not be chargeable unto any of you, 
we preached unto you the gospel of 
God. 

10 yYe ai-e witnesses, and God 
also, ^how holily, and justly, and un- 
blamably we behaved ourselves a- 
mong you that believe : 

1 1 As ye know how we exhorted, 
andcomforted,and charged everyone 
of you, as a father doth his children, 

12 a That ye would walk worthy of 
God, ''who hath called you unto his 
kingdom and glory. 

1 3 For this cause also thank we God 
= without ceasing, because, when ye 
received the word of God which ye 
heard of us, ye received it ''not as the 
word of men, but (as it is in truth) the 
word of God, which effectually work- 
eth also in you that believe. 

14 For ye, brethren, became follow- 
ers e of the churches of God which in 
Judea are in Christ Jesus : for ^ye 
also have suffered like things of your 
own countiymen, Seven as they have 
of the Jews : 

15 ''Who both killed the Lord 
Jesus, and 'their own prophets, and 
have II persecuted us ; and they please 
not God, ^ and are contrary to all men : 

16 'Forbidding us to speak to the 
Gentiles that they might be saved,

CHAP. HI. 

1 Saint Paul testifieth his great love to the Thes- 
saloniaiis, partly hy sending Timothy unto them 
to strengthen and comfort them : partly by re- 
joicing in their well-doing : 10 and partly by 
praying for them, and desiring a safe coming 
unto them. 

WHEREFORE, nvhen we could 
no longer forbear, ^ we thought 
it good to be left at Athens alone ; 

2 And sent ^Timotheus, our bro- 
ther, and minister of God, and our 
fellow-labourer in thegospel of Christ 
to establish you, and to comfort you 
concerning your faith : 

3 <^That no man should be moved 
by these afflictions : for yourselves 
know that ^we are appointed there 
unto. 

4 f For verily, when we were with 
you, we told you before that we should 
suffer tribulation ; even as it came to 
pass, and ye know. 

5 For this cause, swhen I could no 
longer forbear, I sent to know your 
faith, J' lest by some means the tempt 
er have tempted you, and 'our labour 
be in vain. 

6 ''But now, when Timotheus came 
from you unto us, and brought us 
good tidings of your faith and cha 
rity, and that ye have good remem 
brance of us always, desiring greatly 
to see us, ^as we also to see you : 

7 Therefore, brethren, ">we were 
comforted over you in all our afflic 
lion and distress by your faith : 

8 For now we live, if ye "stand fast 
m the Lord. 

9 "For what thanks can we render 
to God again for you, for all the joy 
wherewith we joy for your sakes be- 
fore our God ;

ALONIANS. Exhortation to please God. 

ceedingly ''that we might see your 
face, Sand might perfect that which 
is lacking in your faith ? 

1 1 Now God himself and our Fa- 
ther, and our Lord Jesus Christ, || 'di- 
rect our way unto you. 

12 And the Lord "make you to in- 
crease and abound in love ^one to- 
ward another, and toward all men, 
even as we do toward you : 

13 To the end he may y establish 
your hearts unblamable in holiness 
before God, even our Father, at the 
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ 
^with all his saints. 

CHAP. IV. 

I He exhorteth them to go on forward in all 
manner of godliness, 6 to live holily and justly, 
9 to love one another, 1 1 and quietly to follow 
their own business : 13 and last of all to sorrow 
moderately for the dead. 17 And unto this last 
exhortation is annexed a brief description of 
the resurrection, and second coming of Christ 
to judgment. 

URTHERMORE then we |1 be- 
seech you, brethren, and 1| ex- 
hort you by the Lord Jesus, ^that as 
ye have received of us ''howye ought 
to walk ^and to please God, so ye 
would abound more and more. 

2 For ye know what commandments 
we gave you by the Lord Jesus. 

3 For this is '^the will of God, even 
^your sanctification, ^that ye should 
abstain from fornication : 

4 sThat every one of you should 
know how to possess his vessel in 
sanctification and honour ; 

5 '^Not in the lust of concupiscence, 
'even as the Gentiles ^ which know 
not God : 

6 'That no man go beyond and 

II defraud his brother ||in any matter: 
because that the Lord '"is the aven- 
ger of all such, as we also have fore- 
warned you and testified. 

7 For God hath not called us unto 
uncleanness, "but unto holiness. 

8 oHe therefore that ||despiseth,de- 
spiseth not man, but God Pwho hath 
also given unto us his Holy Spirit. 

9 But as touching brotherly love 
lye need not that 1 write unto you : 
for ""ye yourselves are taught of God 
no love one another. 

10 'And indeed ye do it toward all 
the brethren which are in all Mace- 
donia: but we beseech you, brethren, 
"that ye increase more and more ; 

1 1 And that ye study to be quiet, 
1156 



Chrisfs second comins. 

and ^to do your own business, and 
y to work with your own hands, as we 
commanded you ; 

12 ^That ye may walk honestly to- 
ward them that are without, and that 
ye may have lack |i of nothing. 

13 But I would not have you to be 
ignorant, brethren, concerning them 
which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, 
^evenas others ''which have no hope. 

14 For cif we believe that Jesus 
died and rose again, even so "^them 
also which sleep in Jesus will God 
bring with him. 

15 For this we say unto you ^by 
the word of the Lord, that ^we which 
are alive and remain unto the com- 
ing of the Lord shall not prevent 
them which are asleep. 

16 For sihe Lord himself shall de- 
scend from heaven with a shout, with 
the voice of the archangel, and with 
•"the trump of God : 'and the dead in 
Christ shall rise first : 

17 ''Then we which are alive and 
remain shall be caught up together! 
with them ' in the clouds, to meet the [ 
Lord in the air: and so "'shall wci 
ever be with the Lord. 

18 "Wherefore, || comfort one an-! 
other with these words. 

CHAP. V. 

1 He proceedeth in the former description of 
ChritCt coming to Judgment, IGnnd giveth di- 
vers precepts, 23 and so concludilli the epistle. 

BUT of a the times and the sea- 
sons, brethren, '' ye have no need 
that I write unto you. 

2 For yourselves know perfectly, 
that <=the day of the Lord so cometh 
as a thief in the night. 

3 For when they shall say, Peace 
and safety ; then ^ sudden destruc- 
tion cometh upon them, ^ as travail 
upon a woman with child ; and they 
shall not escape. 

4 '"But ye, brethren, are not in dark- 
ness, that that day should, overtake 
you as a thief. 

5 Ye are all ethe children of light, 
and the children of the day : we are 
not of the night, nor of darkness. 

6 *• Therefore let us not sleep, as do 
others; but 'let us watch and be 
sober. 

7 For ''they that sleep, sleep in the 
night ; and they that be drunken, ' are 
di-unken in the night.

Divers exhortations. 

8 But let us, who are of the day, be 
sober, I" putting on the breast-plate of 
faith and love ; and for a helmet, 
the hope of salvation. 

9 For " God hath not appointed us 
to wrath, °but to obtain salvation by 
our Lord Jesus Christ, 

10 P Who died for us, that, whether 
we wake or sleep, we should live to- 
gether with him. 

1 1 qWherefore, || comfort yourselves 
together, and edify one another, even 
as also ye do. 

12 And we beseech you, brethren, 
•"to know them which labour among 
you, and are over you in the Lord, 
and admonish you ; 

13 And to esteem them very highly 
in love for their work's sake. KAnd 
be at peace among yourselves. 

14 Now we II exhort you, brethren, 
'warn them that are || unruly, "com- 
fort the feeble-minded, ^support the 
weak, ybe patient toward all men. 

15 ^See that none render evil for 
evil unto axvy man ; but ever '^follow 
that which is good, both among your- 
selves, and to all men. 

16 ''Rejoice evermore. 

17 "^Pray without ceasing. 

1 8 <^ In every thing give thanks : for 
this is the will of God in Christ Jesus 
concerning you. 

19 « Quench not the Spirit. 

20 ''Despise not prophesyings. 

21 ?Prove all things; ''hold fast 
that which is good. 

22 'Abstain from all appearance of 
evil. 

23 And ''the very God of peace 
'sanctify you wholly ; and I pray God 
your whole spirit, and soul, and body, 
""be preserved blameless unto the 
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

24 "Faitliful is he that calleth you, 
who also will do it. 

25 Brethren, opray for us. 

26 P Greet all the brethren with a 
holy kiss. 

27 I II charge you by the Lord that 
qthis epistle be read unto all the holy 
brethren. 

28 '■The grace of our Lord Jesus 
Christ be with you. Amen.

IF The Second Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the 
THESSALONIANS. 



CHAP. I. 

Saini Paul certifieth them of the good opinion 
■which he had of their faith, love, and patience : 
11 and therewithal vseth divers reasons for the 
comforting of them in persecution, whereof the 
chiefest is taken from the righteous judgment 
of God. 

)AUL, ^and Silvanus, and Timo- 
theus, unto the church of the 
Thessalonians i* in God our Father 
and the Lord Jesus Christ : 

2 *= Grace unto you, and peace, 
from God our Father and the Lord 
Jesus Christ. 

3 ^ We are bound to thank God al- 
ways for you, brethren, as it is meet, 
because that your faith groweth ex- 
ceedingly, and the charity of every 
one of you all toward each other 
aboundeth ; 

4 So that ^we ourselves glory m 
you in the churches of God, ^ for your 
patience and faith ?in all your per- 
secutions and tribulations that ye en- 
dure ; 

5 Which is^a manifest token of the 
righteous judgment of God, that ye 
may be counted worthy of the king- 
dom of God, 'for which ye also suf- 
fer: 

6 ■^Seeing it is a righteous thing 
with God to recompense tribulation 
to them that trouble you ; 

7 And to you, who are troubled, 
^rest with us, when ""the Lord Jesus 
shall be revealed from heaven with 
•j- his mighty angels, 

8 n In flaming fire || taking ven- 
geance on them °that know not God, 
and Pthat obey not the gospel of our 
Lord Jesus Christ: 

9 qWho shall be punished with 
everlasting destruction from the pre- 
sence of the Lord, and rfrom the 
glory of his power ; 

10 3 When he shall come to be glo- 
rified in his saints, * and to be admir- 
ed in all them that believe (because 
our testimony amongyou was believ- 
ed) in that day. 

1 1 Wherefore also we pray always 
for you, that our God would || "count 
you worthy of this calling, and fulfil 
all the good pleasure of /izs goodness, 
and ''the work of faith with power : 

12 y That the name of our Lord Jesus 
Christ may be glorified in you, and ye

1 He inlleth them, to continue steadfast in the truth 
received, 3 sheweth that there shall be a depar- 
ture from the faith, 9 and a discovery of anti- 
christ, before the day of the Lord come. 15 And 
thereupon repeateth hisfornter exhortation, and 
pray eth for them. 

NOW we beseech you, brethren, 
'I by the coming of our Lord Je- 
sus Christ, b and hy our gathering to- 
gether unto him, 

2 <=That ye be not «oon shaken in 
mind, or be troubled, neither by spi- 
rit, nor by word, nor by letter as from 
us, as that the day of Christ is at 
hand. 

3 <iLet no man deceive you by any 
means : for that day shall not come, 
«= except there come a falling away 
first, and fthat man of sin be reveal- 
ed, sthe son of perdition ; 

4 Who opposeth and ^exalteth him- 
self 'above all that is called God, or 
that is worshipped ; so that he, as 
God, sitteth in the temple of God, 
shewing himself that he is God. 

5 Remember ye not, that when I 
was yet with you, I told you these 
things ? 

6 And now ye know what || with- 
holdeth that he might be revealed in 
his time. 

7 For ^ the mystery of iniquity doth 
already work: only he who now let- 
teth will let, until he be taken out of 
the way. 

8 And then shall that Wicked be 
revealed, ^ whom the Lord shall con- 
sume ™with the spirit of his mouth, 
and shall destroy "with the bright- 
ness of his coming: 

9 Even him, whose coming is ° after 
the working of Satan, with all power, 
and P signs, and lying wonders, 

10 And with all deceivableness of 
unrighteousness in ithem that pe- 
rish; because they received not the 
love of the truth, that they might be 
saved. 

11 And '■for this cause God shall 
send them strong delusion, ^that they 
should believe a lie : 

12 That they all might be damned 
who believed not the truth, but 'had 
oleasure in unrighteousness. 

1158 



The apostle desireth their prayeis. 

13 But "we are bound to give thanks 
always to God for you, brethren be- 
loved of the Lord, because God ^ hath 
yfrom the beginning chosen you to 
salvation, ^ through sanctification of 
the Spirit, and belief of the truth : 

14 Whereunto he called you by our 
gospel, to ^the obtaining of the glorj' 
of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

15 Therefore, brethren, "stand fast, 
and hold ^the traditions which ye 
have been taught, whether by word, 
or our epistle. 

16 <^ Now our Lord Jesus Christ 
himself, and God, even our Father, 
« which hath loved us, and hath given 
us everlasting consolation and 'good 
hope through grace,

The idle and disorderly censured, 

^\hdX ye M'ithdraw yourselves 'from 
every brother that walketh^ disorder- 
ly, and not after Hhe tradition which 
he received of us. 

7 For yourselves know '"how ye 
ought to follow us : for "we behaved 
not ourselves disorderly among you; 

8 Neither did we eat any man's 
bread for nought; but ° wrought with 
labour and travail night and day, that 
we might not be chargeable to any of 
you: 

9 p Not because we have not power, 
but to make Yourselves an ensample 
unto you to follow us. 

1 For even when we were with you, 
this we commanded you, ''that if any 
would not work, neither should he eat. 

11 For we hear that there are some 
« which walk among you disorderly, 
'working not at all, but are busy- 
bodies. 

12 "Now them that are such we 
command and exhort by our Lord 
Jesus Christ, ''that M'ith quietness 
they work, and eat their own bread. 

13 Butye, brethren, y|| be not weary 
in well-doing. 

14 And if any man obey not our 
word II by this epistle, note that man, 
and ^have no company with him, that 
he may be ashamed. 

15 "Yet count him not as an enemy, 
''but admonish him as a brother. 

16 Now '^the Lord of peace himself 
give you peace always by all means. 
The Lord he with you all. 

17 ''The salutation of Paul with 
mine own hand, which is the token 
in every epistle : so I write.

The right use and end of the law. 

5 Now 'the end of the command- 
ment is charity ""out of a pure heart, 
and of a. good conscience, and offaith 
unfeigned : 

6 From which some || having swerv- 
ed, have turned aside unto "vain jan- 
gling; 

7 Desiring to be teachers of the 
law; ounderstanding neither what 
they say, nor whereof they affirm. 

8 But we know that Pthe law is 
good, if a man use it lawfully ; 

9 q Knowing this, that the law is 
not made for a righteous man, but 
for the lawless and disobedient, for 
the ungodly and for sinners, for un- 
holy and profane, for murderers of 
fathers, and murderers of mothers, for 
manslayers, 

10 For whoremongers, for them that 
defile -themselves with mankind, for 
men-stealers, for liars, for perjured 
persons, and if there be any other 
thing that is contrary fto sound doc- 
trine, 

1 1 According to the glorious gos- 
pel of ^ the blessed God * which was 
committed to my trust. 

12 And I thank Christ Jesus our 
Lord, ^who hath enabled me, '^for 
that he counted me faithful, y putting 
me into the ministry ; 

13 2 Who was before a blasphemer, 
and a persecutor, and injurious : but 
I obtained mercy, because ^I did it 
ignorantly in unbehef : 

14 b And the grace of our Lord was 
exceeding abundant ^with faith ^i and 
love which is in Christ Jesus. 

15 «=This is a faithful saying, and 
worthy of all acceptation, that f Christ 
Jesus came into the world to save 
sinners ; of whom I am chief 

IG Howbeit, for this cause s\ ob- 
tained mercy, that in me first Jesus 
Christ might shew forth all long-suf- 
fering, h for a pattern to them which 
should hereafter believe on him to 
Hfe everlasting. 

17 Now unto 'the King eternal, 
''immortal, 'invisible, ■" the only wise 
God, "6e honour and glory for ever 
and ever. Amen.

that thou by them mightest iwar a 
good warfare ;

Prayer to be made for all men. 

19 ■'Holding faith and a good con- 
science ; which some having put 
away, concerning faith ^have made 
shipwreck : 

20 Of whom is 'Hymeneus and 
"Alexander ; whom I have * deliver-

not to y blaspheme. 

CHAP. H. 

1 Thai it is meet to pray and give thanks for all 
men, and the reason why. 9 How tcomen should 
be attired. 12 They are not permitted to teach. 
15 They shall be saved, notwithstanding the 
testimonies of God's wrath, in child-birth, if 
they continue in faith, 

III EXHORT therefore, that, first 
of all, supplications, prayers, in- 
tercessions, and giving of thanks be 
made for all men : 

2 ^For kings, and ^for all that are 
in II authority ; that we may lead a 
quiet and peaceable life in all godli- 
ness and honesty. 

3 For this is <=good and acceptable 
in the sight ^o^ God our Saviour ; 

4 eWho will have all men to be 
saved, ^and to come unto the know- 
ledge of the truth. 

5 ffFor there is one God, and ''one 
mediator between God and men, the 
man Christ Jesus ; 

6 'Who gave himself a ransom for 
all, "^11 to be testified 'in due time, 

7 '"Whereunto I am ordained a 
preacher and an apostle, {" I speak 
the truth in Christ, and lie not,) "a 
teacher of the Gentiles in faith and 
verity. 

8 I will therefore that men pray 
Pevery where, ^lifting up holy hands, 
without wrath and doubting. 

9 In like manner also, that "^ women 
adorn themselves in modest apparel, 
with shamefacedness and sobriety ; 
not with II broidered hair, or gold, or 
pearls, or costly array, 

10 ^But (which becometh women 
professinggodliness)withgood works. 

1 1 Let the woman learn in silence 
with all subjection. 

12 But 1 1 suffer not a woman to 
teach, "nor to usurp authority over 
the man, but to be in silence. 

13 For xAdam was first formed, 
then Eve. 

14 And yAdam was not deceived, 
but the woman being deceived was 
in the transgression. 

15 Notwithstanding, she shall be sa-

CHAP. III. 

S Hmu hishopt, and deacons, and their wives 
should be qualified, 14 and to what end Saint 
Paul wrote to Timothy of these things. 15 Of 
the church, and the hleised truth therein taught 
and yrofcssed. 

THIS ^is a true saying, If a man 
desire the office of a ''bishop, 
he desireth a good =work. 

2 ^A bishop then must be blame- 
less, ethe husband of one wife, vigi- 
lant, sober, || of good behaviour, giv- 
en to hospitality, ("apt to teach ; 

3 s||Not given to wine, ^no striker, 
•not greedy of filthy lucre ; but ^pa- 
tient ; not a brawler, not covetous ; 

4 One that ruleth well his own 
house, 'having his children in sub- 
jection with all gravity ; 

5 (For if a man know not how to 
rule his own house, how shall he 
take care of the church of God ?) 

6 Not II a novice, lest being lifted 
up with pride "'he fall into the con- 
demnation of the devil. 

7 Moreover, he must have a good 
report "of them which are without ; 
lest he fall into reproach °and the' 
snare of the devil. 

8 Likewise must Pthe deacons be 
grave, not double-tongued, 'inotgiven 
to much wine, not greedy of filthy 
lucre ; 

9 'Holding the mystery of the faith 
in a pure conscience. 

10 And let these also first be prov- 
ed ; then let them use the office of a 
deacon, hc'mg found blameless. 

11 *Even so must their wives be 
grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful 
in all things. 

12 Let the deacons be the husbands 
of one wife, ruling their children and 
their own houses well. 

13 For 'they that have ||used the 
office of a deacon well, purchase to 
themselves a good degree, and great 
boldness in the faith which is in 
Christ Jesus. 

14 These things write I unto thee, 
hoping to come unto thee shortly: 

15 But if I tarry long, that thou 
mayest know how thou oughtest to 
behave thyself " in the house of God, 
which is the church of the living 
God, the pillar and 
truth.

A great apostacy foretold, 

16 And without controversy, great 
is the mystery of godliness : ^ God 
was f manifest in the flesh, yjustified 
in the Spirit, '• seen of angel s, ^ preach- 
ed unto the Gentiles, ''believed on

CHAP. IV. 

I He foretelleth that in the latter times there shall 

be a departure from the faith. 6 And to the end 
that Timothy might not fail in doing his duty, 
he fumisheth him with divert precept) belong- 
ing thereto. 

NOW the Spirit ^speaketh ex- 
pressly, that ''in the latter times 
some shall depart from the faith, giv- 
ing heed c to seducing spirits, '' and 
doctrines of devils ; 

2 « Speaking lies in hypocrisy, 'hav- 
ing their conscience seared withahot 
iron ; 

3 ^Forbidding to marry, ^andcom- 
»ia«c?m^ to abstain from meats, which 
God hath created 'to be received 
''with thanksgiving of them which 
believe and know the truth. 

4 For 'every creature of God is good, 
and nothing to be refused, if it be re- 
ceived with thanksgiving : 

5 For it is sanctified by the word of 
God, and prayer. 

6 If thou put the brethren in re- 
membrance of these things, thou 
shalt be a good minister of Jesus 
Christ, "> nourished up in the words 
of faith and of good doctrine, where- 
unto thou hast attained. 

7 But "refuse profane and old wives' 
fables, and "exercise thyself rather 
unto godliness. 

8 For P bodily exercise profiteth 

II little : qbut godliness is profitable 
unto all things, ''having promise of 
the life that now is, and of that which 
is to come. 

9 'This is a faithful saying, and 
worthy of all acceptation. 

10 For therefore 'we both labour 
and suflfer reproach, because we "trust 
in the living God ''who is the Sa- 
viour of all men, especially of those 
that believe. 

11 y These things command and 
teach. 

12 ^Let no man despise thy youth ; 
but '^be thou an example of the be- 
lievers, in word, in conversation, 
ill charity, in spirit, in faith, in pu- 
rity.

Concerning widows. 

13 Till I come, give attendance to 
reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 

14 b Neglect not the gift that is in 
thee, which was given thee '^by pro- 
phecy, ^with the laying on of the 
hands of the presbytery. 

15 Meditate upon these things; 
give thyself wholly to them ; that thy 
profiting may appear |1 to all. 

16 ^Take heed unto thyself, and 
unto the doctrine ; continue in them: 
for in doing this thou shall both ^save 
thyself, and g them that hear thee. 

CHAP. V. 

I Rules to he observed in reproving. 3 Of widows. 

17 Of elders. 23 A precept for Timothy'' s health. 
24 Some men^s sins go before unto judgment, 
and some men's do follow after. 

REBUKE 'inot an elder, but en- 
treat him as a father ; and the 
younger men as brethren ; 

2 The elder women as mothers ; the 
younger as sisters, with all purity. 

3 Honour widows ''that are widows 
indeed. 

4 But if any widow have children or 
nephews, let them learn first to shew 

II piety at home, and «=to requite their 
parents: ^for that is good and ac 
ceptable before God. 

5 ^Now she that is a widow indeed, 
and desolate, trusteth in God, and 
f continueth in supplications and pray- 
ers g night and day. 

6 ^But she that liveth ||in pleasure 
is dead while she liveth. 

7 'And these things give in charge 
that they may be blameless. 

8 But if any provide not for his own, 
^^and especially for those of his own 
II house, ihe hath denied the faith 
•"and is worse than an infidel. 

9 Let not a widow be || taken into 
the number under threescore years 
old, ° having been the wife of one 
man, 

10 Well reported of for good works ; 
if she have brought up children, if 
she have « lodged strangers, if she 
have P washed the saints' feet, if she 
have relieved the afflicted, if she 
have diligently followed every good 
work. 

11 But the younger widows re- 
fuse : for when they have begun to 
wax wanton against Christ, they will 
marry ; 

12 Having damnation, because they 
have cast off their first faith.

Elders to be honoured. 

13 qAnd withal they learn to be 
idle, wandering about from house to 
house ; and not only idle, but tattlers 
also, and busybodies, speaking things 
which they ought not. 

14 "^Iwill therefore that the yoimger 
women marry, bear children, guide 
the house, ^give none occasion to the 
adversary f to speak reproachfully. 

15 For some are already turned a- 
side after Satan. 

16 If any man or woman that be- 
lieveth have widows, let them relieve 
them, and let not the church be 
charged ; that it may relieve 'them 
that are widows indeed. 

17 "Let the elders that rule well, 
^be counted worthy of double ho- 
nour, especially they who labour in 
the word and doctrine. 

18 For the scripture saith, yThou 
shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth 
out the corn. And, ^The labourer is 
worthy of his reward. 

19 Against an elder receive not an 
accusation, but || ^before two or three 
witnesses.

all, <=that others also may fear.

the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect 
angels, that thou observe these things 
II without preferring one before an- 
other, doing nothing by partiality. 

22 ^Lay hands suddenly on no man, 
^neither be partaker of other men's 
sins : keep thyself pure.

24 'i Some men's sins are open be-

some are manifest beforehand ; and 
they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

Christ : 

15 Which in his times he shall 
shew, who is sthe blessed and only 
Potentate, ^the King of kings, and 
Lord of lords ; 

16 'Who only hath immortality, 
dwelling in the light which no man 
can approach unto : i^whom no man 
hath seen, nor can see ; 'to whom be 
honour and power everlasting. Amen. 

17 Charge them that are rich in this 
world, that they be not high-minded, 
■"nor trust in f" uncertain riches, 
but in °the living God, Pwho giveth 
us richly all things to enjoy ; 

18 That they do good, that qthey 
be rich in good works, ■" ready to dis- 
tribute, II ^willing to communicate ; 

19 'Laying up in store for them- 
selves a good foundation agaiilst the 
time to come, that they may "lay 
hold on eternal life. 

20 O Timothy, ^keep that which 
is committed to thy trust, y avoiding 
profane and vain babblings, and op- 
positions of science falsely so called ; 

21 Which some professing, ^have 
erred concerning the faith. Grace be

my forefathers with pure conscience,

Timothy is exhorted to II 

5 When I call to remembrance ^the 
unfeigned faith that is in thee, which 
dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, 
and 'thy mother Eunice ; and I am 
persuaded that in thee also. 

6 Wherefore I put thee in remem- 
brance, kthat thou stir up the gift of 
God, which is in thee by the putting 
on of my hands. 

7 For 'God hath not given us the 
spirit of fear ; ™but of power, and of 
love, and of a sound mind. 

8 "Be not thou therefore ashamed 
of °the testimony of our Lord, nor of 
me Phis prisoner : qbut be thou par- 
taker of the afflictions of the gospel

9 ''Who hath saved us, and » called

was given us in Christ Jesus ^before

10 But yis now made manifest by 
the appearing of our Saviour Jesus 
Christ, ^who hath abolished death, 
and hath brought life and immorta- 
lity to light through the gospel : 

11 ^Whereunto I am appointed a 
preacher, and an apostle, and a teach- 
er of the Gentiles. 

1 2 '^ For the which cause I also suffer 
these things : nevertheless I am not 
ashamed : ^for I know whom I have

they which are in Asia be ° turned 
away from me; of whom are Phygel- 
lus and Hermogenes. 

16 The Lord Pgive mercy unto qthe 
house of Onesiphorus ; 'for he oft 
refreshed me, and ^was not ashamed 
of 'my chain: 

17 But, when he was in Rome, he 
sought me out very diligently, and

he y ministered unto me at Ephesus, 
thou knowest very well. 
CHAP. IL 

1 He is exhorted again to constancy and perseve- 
rance, and to do the duty of a faithful servant of 
the Lord in dividing the word aright, and stay- 
ing profane aiid vain babblings. 17 OfHyme- 
neus and Philetus. 19 The foundation of the 
Lord is sure. 22 He is taught whereof to be- 
ware, and what to follow after, and in wliat 
sort the servant of the Lord ought to behave 
himself. 

THOU therefore, =^my son, '^be 
strong in the grace that is in 
Christ Jesus. 

2 cAnd the things that thou hast 
heard of me i| among many witnesses, 
•ithe same commit thou to faithful 
men, who shall be ^able to teach 
others also. 

3 f Thou therefore endure hai'dness, 
&as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 

4 i^No man that warreth entangleth 
himself with the affairs of this life ; 
that he may please him who hath 
chosen him to be a soldier. 

5 And 'if a man also strive for mas- 
teries, yet is he not crowned, except 
he strive lawfully. 

6 kjl The husbandman that labour- 
eth must be first partalcer of the 
fruits. 

7 Consider what I say; and the 
Lord give thee understanding in all 
things. 

8 Remember that Jesus Christ, 'of 
the seed of David, '"was raised from 
the dead, "according to my gospel : 

9 "Wherein I suffer trouble, as an 
evil-doer, p even unto bonds ; i but 
the word of God is not bound. 

10 Therefore ^I endure all things 
for the elect's sake, «that they may 
also obtain the salvation which is in 
Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 

11 ^ It is a faithful saying : For "if 
we be dead with him, we shall also 
live with him: 

12 ^If we suffer, we shall also reign 
with him: yif we deny Aim, he also 
will deny us : 

1 3 ^ If we believe not, yet he abideth 
faithful: a he cannot deny himself. 

14 Of these things put them in re- 
membrance, •'charging them before 
the Lord ^that they strive not about 
words to no profit, but to the sub- 
verting of the hearers. 

15 Study to shew thyself approved 
unto God, a workman that needeth

not to be ashamed, rightly dividing 
the word of truth. 

16 But <ishun profane and vain 
babblings : for they will increase 
unto more ungodliness. 

17 And their word will eat as doth 
a 11 canker: of whom is ^Hymeneu 
and Philetus ; 

18 Who ^concerning the truth have 
erred, s saying that the resurrection is 
past already ; and overthrow the faith 
of some. 

19 Nevertheless h the foundation of 
God standeth || sure, having this seal, 
The Lord 'knoweth them that are 
his. And, Let everj^ one that nameth 
the name of Christ depart from ini- 
quity. 

20 ''But in a great house there are 
not only vessels of gold and of silver, 
but also of wood and of earth ; 'and 
some to honour, and some to disho- 
nour. 

21 ""If a man therefore purge him- 
self from these, he shall be a vessel 
unto honour, sanctified, and meet for 
the master's use, and " prepared unto 
every good work. 

22 Flee also youthful lusts : but 
"follow righteousness, faith, charity, 
peace, with them that Pcall on the 
Lord <iout of a pure heart. 

23 But '■foolish and unlearned ques- 
tions avoid, knowing that they do 
gender strifes. 

24 And »the servant of the Lord 
must not strive ; but be gentle unto 
all men, 'apt to teach, || patient ; 

25 "In meekness instructing those 
that oppose themselves ; * if God per- 
adventure will give them repentance 
yto the acknowledging of the truth ;

Paul's solemn' charge to Timothy. 

a CHARGE thee therefore before 
God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, 
^who shall judge the quick and the 
dead at his appearing and his king- 
dom ; 

2 Preach the word ; be instant in 
season, out of season ; reprove, "^re- 
buke, ^ exhort with all long-suffering 
and doctrine. 

3 «For the time will come, when 
they will not endure ^sound doctrine ; 
&but after their own lusts shall they 
heap to themselves teachers, having 
itching ears ; 

4 And they shall turn away their 
ears from the truth, and ^ shall be 
turned unto fables. 

5 But watch thou in all things, > en- 
dure afflictions, do the work of ^^an 
evangelist, || make full proof of thy 
ministry. 

6 For IJ am now ready to be offer- 
ed, and the time of ™my departure 
is at hand. 

7 "I have fought a good fight, I 
have finished my course, I have kept 
the faith : 

8 Henceforth there is laid up for 
nie o a crown of righteousness, which 
the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall 
give me P at that day : and not to me 
only, but unto all them also that love 
his appearing. 

9 Do thy diligence to come shortly 
unto me : 

10 For iDemas hath forsaken me, 
^having loved this present world, and 
is departed unto Thessalonica: Cres- 
cens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 

11 ^Only tLuke is with me. Take 
"Mark, and bring him with thee: 
for he is profitable to me for the mi- 
nistry.

with me, and strengthened me ; ^that

might hear: and I was delivered ^ out 
of the mouth of the lion.

CHAP. L 

1 Christ in tliene last times coming to -us from (he 
Father, 4 is preferred above the angels, both in 
person and office. 

GOD, who at sundry times and 
=1 in divers manners spake in time 
past unto the fathers by the pro- 
phets, 

2 '' Hath in these last days <= spoken 
unto us by his Son, <* whom he hath 
appointed heir of all things, ^ by whom 
also he made the worlds ; 

3 f^Vho being the brightness of his 
glor)', and the express image of his 
person, and fe' upholding all things by 
the word of his power, ^nvhen he had 
by himself purged our sins, 'sat down 
on the right hand of the Majesty on 
high ; 

4 Being made so much better than 
the angels, as ''he hath by inheritance 
obtained a more excellent name than 
they. 

5 For unto which of the angels said 
he at any time, 'Thou art my Son, 
this day have I begotten thee \ And 
again, '"I will be to him a Father, 
and he shall be to me a Son ? 

G II And again, when he bringeth in 
"the first-begotten into the world, he 
saith, ° And let all the angels of God 
worship him. 

7 And t of the angels hesaith,PWho 
maketh his angels spirits, and his 
ministers a flame of fire. 

8 But unto the Son, he saith, <)Thy 
throne, O God, is for ever and ever : 
a sceptre of f righteousness is the 
sceptre of thy kingdom ; 

OThou hast loved righteousness,and 

hated iniquity ; therefore God, even 

thy God, ■■ hath anointed thee with 

the oil of gladness above thv fellows.

the more earnest heed to the 
things which we have heard, lest at 
any time we should f let them slip. 

2 For if the word °- spoken by an- 
gels was steadfast, and ''every trans-

just recompense of reward ; 

3 =How shall we escape, if we ne- 
glect so great salvation; ^^which at the 
first began to be spoken by the Lord,

that heard him;

sboth with signs and wonders, and 
with divers miracles, and || •'gifts of

Why Christ assumed human nature. HEBREWS 

6 But one in a certain place testi- 
fied, saying, 'What is man, that thou 
art mindful of him? or the son of 
man, that thou visitest him 1 

7 Thou madest him ||a little lower 
than the angels ; thou crovt^nedst him 
with glory and honour, and didst set 
him over the works of thy hands ; 

8 ™Thou hast put all things in sub- 
jection under his feet. For in that 
he put all in subjection under him, 
he left nothing that is not put under 
him. But now " we see not yet all 
things put under him : 

9 But we see Jesus, ''who was made 
a little lower than the angels || for 
the suftering of death, P crowned with 
glory and honour ; that he by the 
grace of God should taste death i for 
every man. 

10 ""For it became him, ^for whom 
are all things, and by whom are all 
things, in bringing many sons unto 
glory, to make Uhe Captain of their 
salvation "perfect through sufier- 
ings. 

1 1 For ^ both he that sanctifieth, and 
they who are sanctified, y are all of 
one : for which cause ^ he is not 
ashamed to call them brethren, 

] 2 Sayingj^I will declare thy name 
unto my brethren, in the midst of the 
church will I sing praise unto thee. 

13 And again, ^I will put my trust 
in him. And again, ''Behold, I, and 
the children 'i which God hath given 
me. 

14 Forasmuch then as the children 
are partakers of flesh and blood, he 
^ also himself likewise took part of 
the same ; ^that through death he 
might destroy him that had the power 
of death, that is, the devil ; 

15 And deliver them, who, g through 
fear of death, were all their life-time 
subject to bondage. 

16 For verily f he took not on Mm 
the nature of angels ; but he took on 
him the seed of Abraham. 

17 Wherefore in all things it be- 
hooved him "^to be made like unto /r/s 
brethren ; that he might be ' a merci- 
ful and faithful High Priest in things 
pertaining to God, to make reconci- 
liation for the sins of the people. 

18 ''For in that he himself hath k en. q. la, gNumb. u

The danger of unbelief, 

CHAP. m. 

Christ is more worthy than Moses, 7 tlierefore 
if we believe not in him, we shall be more wor- 
thy punishment than hard-hearted Israel. 

'"""HEREFORE, holy' brethren, 
partakers of ^the heavenly call- 
ing, consider ''the Apostle and Higii 
Priest of ourprofession,Christ Jesus ; 

2 Who was faithful to him that 
f appointed him, as also •= Moses was 
faithful in all his house. 

3 For this man was counted wor- 
thy of more glory than Moses, inas- 
much as '' he who hath builded the 
house, hath more honour than the 
house. 

4 For every house is builded by some 
man ; but ^^he that built all things is 
God. 

5 f And Moses verily was faithful 
in all his house, as ffa servant, ''for a 
testimony of those things which were 
to be spoken after: 

6 But Christ as 'a Son over his own 
house : ^ whose house are we, 'if we 
hold fast the confidence, and the re- 
joicing of the hope firm unto the end. 

7 Wherefore, as ™ the Holy Ghost 
saith, ° To-day if ye will hear his 
voice, 

8 Harden not your hearts, as in the 
provocation, in the day of temptation 
in the wilderness : 

9 When your fathers tempted me, 
proved me, and saw my works forty 
years. 

10 Wherefore I was grieved with 
that generation, and said. They do 
always err in their heart ; and they 
have not known my ways. 

11 So I sware in my wrath, fThey 
shall not enter into my rest. 

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there 
be in any of you an evil heart of un- 
belief, in departing from the living 
God. 

13 But exhort one another daily, 
while it is called To-day; lest any of 
you be hardened through the deceit- 
fulness of sin. 

14 For we are made partakers of 
Christ, ° if we hold the beginning of 
our confidence steadfast unto the end ; 

15 While it is said, P To-day if ye 
will hear his voice, harden not your 
hearts, as in the provocation. 

1 6 iFor some, when they had heard, 
did provoke : howbeit, not all that 
came out of Egypt by Moses. 

1170 



The Christianas rest. 

17 But with whom was he grieved 
forty years ? was it not with them 
that hadsiahed/v.-hose carcasses fell 
in the wiraerness ? 

18 And no whom sware he that 
they should not enter into his rest, 
but to them that believed not ? 

19 'So we see that they could not 
enter in because of unbeHef. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 The rest of Christians is attained by faith. 12 
The potcer of God's word. 14 Bj/ our Hii^h 
Priest Jesus the Son uf God, subject to infirmi- 
ties, but not sin, 16 ice must and may go boldly 
to the throne of grace. 

LET i^us therefore fear, lest a pro- 
mise being left us of entering 
into his rest, any of you should seem 
to come short of it. 

2 For unto us was the gospel 
preached, as well as unto them : but 
fthe word preached did not profit 
them, II not being mixed with faith 
in them that heard it. 

3 '' For we which have believed do 
enter into rest, as he said, ^As I have 
sworn in my wrath, if they shall en- 
ter into my rest : although the works 
were finished from the foundation of 
the world. 

4 For he spake in a certain place of 
tlie seventh daij on this wise, ^And 
God did rest the seventh day from all 
his works. 

5 And in this place again. If they 
shall enter into my rest. 

6 Seeing therefore itremaineth that 
some must enter therein, ^and they 
to whom II it was first preached en- 
tered not in because of unbelief: 

7 (Again, he liiniteth a certain day, 
saying in David, To-day, after so long 
a time ; as it is said, 'To-day, if ye 
will hear his voice, harden not your 
hearts. 

8 For if II Jesus had given them rest, 
then would he not afterward have 
spoken of another day. 

9 There remaineth therefore a |] rest 
to the people of God. 

10 For he that is entered into his 
rest, he also hath ceased from his own 
works, as God did from his.) 

1 1 Let us labour therefore to enter 
into that rest, lest any man fall 8 after 
the same example of || unbelief. 

12 For the word of God is ''quick, 
and powerful, and 'sharper than any 
■* two-edged sword, piercing even to

Of Christ's priesthood. 
the dividing asunder of soul and spi- 
rit, and of the joints and marrow, and 
is 'a discerner of the thoughts and 
intents of the heart. 

13 "n Neither is there any creature 
that is not manifest in his sight : but 
all things ore naked "and opened 
unto the eyes of him with whom we 
have to do. 

14 Seeing then thatwehave^agreat 
High Priest, Pthat is passed into the 
heavens, Jesus the Son of God, qlet 
us hold fast our profession. 

15 For ""we have not a high priest 
which cannot be touched with the 
feeling of our infirmities : but s-\vas 
in all points tempted like as ive are, 
^yet without sin. 

16 "Let us therefore come boldly 
unto the throne of grace, that we may 
obtain mercy, and find grace to help 
in time of need. 

CHAP. V. 

1 The authority and honour of our Saviour's 
priesthood. 11 Negligence in the knowledge 
thereof is reproved. 

FOR every high priest taken from 
among men, '^ is ordained for men 
•^in things pertaining to God, ^that 
he may offer both gifts and sacrifices 
for sins : 

2 "i Who II can have compassion on 
the ignorant, and on them that are 
out of the way ; for that '^he himself 
also is compassed with infirmity, 

3 And 'by reason hereof he ought, 
as for the people, so also for himself, 
to offer for sins. 

4 sAnd no man takcth this honour 
unto himself, but he that is called 
of God, as I'was Aaron : 

5 'So also Christ glorified not him- 
self to be made a high priest ; but 
he that said unto him, i^Thou art my 
Son, to-day have I begotten thee. 

6 As he saith also in another place, 
'Thou art a priest for ever after the 
order of Melchisedec. 

7 Who in the days of his flesh, when 
he had '"offered up prayers and sup- 
plications "with strong crying and 
tears unto him °that was able to save 
him from death, and was heard |1 Pin 
that he feared ; 

8 <i Though he were a Son, yet learn- 
ed he ''obedience by the things which 
he suffered ; 

9 And 8 being made perfect, he be- 

1171 



The guilt and 

came the author of eternal salvation 
unto all them that obey him ; 

10 Called of God a high priest 
tafter the order of Melchisedec. 

11 Of whom "we have many things 
to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing 
ye are ^duU of hearing. 

12 For when for the time ye ought 

10 be teachers, ye have need that one 
teach you again which he ythe first 
principles of the oracles of God ; and 
are become such as have need of 
zmilk, and not of strong meat. 

13 For every one that useth milk, 
-j- is unskilful in the word of righte- 
ousness : for he is a a babe. 

14 But strong meat belongeth to 
them that are || of full age, even those 
who by reason || of use have their 
senses exercised ^to discern both 
good and evil. 

CHAP. VI. 

1 He cxltorielh not to fall haclc from {he faith, 11 
hut to be steadfaat, 12 diligent, aiul patient to 
wait upon God, 13 because God is most sure iu 
his promise. 

THEREFORE leaving || the 
principles of the doctrine of 
Christ, let us go on unto perfection ; 
not laying again the foundation of 
repentance ^i'rom dead works, and 
of faith toward God, 

2 t^Of the doctrine of baptisms, (^ and 
of laying on of hands, "and of resur- 
rection of the dead, fand of eternal 
judgment. 

3 And this will we do, ffif God per- 
mit. 

4 For ^it is impossible for those 
' w ho were once enlightened,and have 
tasted of ^ the heavenly gift,'and ^ were 
made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 

5 And have tasted the good word of 
God, and the powers of ™the world 
to come, 

6 If they shall fall away, to renew 
them again unto repentance; "seeing 
they crucify to themselves the Son of' 
God afresh, and put him to an open 
shame. 

7 For the earth which drinketh in 
the rain that cometh oft upon it, and 
bringeth forth herbs meet for them 

11 by whom it is dressed, oreceiveth 
blessing from God : 

8 PBut that which beareth thorns 
and briers is rejected, and is nigh 
unto cursing; whose end is to be 
.burned.

danger of apostacy, 

9 But, beloved, we are persuaded 
better things of you, and things that 
accompany salvation, though we thus 
speak. 

10 qFor rGod is not unrighteous to 
forget syour work and labour of love, 
which ye have shewed toward his 
name, in that ye have 'ministered to 
the saints, and do minister. 

11 And we desire that "every one 
of you do shew the same diligence 
^to the full assurance of hope unto 
the end : 

12 That ye be not slothful, but fol- 
lowers of them who through faith and 
patience y inherit the promises. 

13 For when God made promise to 
Abraham, because he could swear by 
no greater, ^he sware by himself, 

14 Saying, Surely blessing I will 
bless thee, and multiplying I will 
multiply thee. 

15 And so, after he had patiently 
endured, he obtained the promise. 

16 For men verily swear by the 
greater : and ^^an oath for confirma- 
tion is to them an end of all strife. 

17 Wherein God, willing more a- 
bundantly to shew unto ''the heirs of 
promise ^the immutability of his 
counsel, f confirmed it by an oath : 

18 That by two immutable things, 
in which it was impossible for God to 
lie, we might have a strong consola- 
tion, who have fled for refuge to lay 
hold upon the hope ^ set before us : 

19 Which hope we have as an an- 
chor of the soul, both sure and stead- 
fast, eand which entereth into that 
within the vail ; 

20 fWhither the forerunner is for 
us entered, even Jesus, smade a high 
priest for ever after the order of 
Melchisedec. 

CHAP. VII. 

1 Christ Jesus is a priest after the order of Mel- 
chisedec, 11 and so, far more excellent than the 
priests of Aaron's order. 

FOR this ^Melchisedec, king of 
Salem, priest of the most high 
God, who met Abraham returning 
from the slaughter of the kings, and 
blessed him ; 

2 To whom also Abraham gave 
a tenth part of all ; first being by in- 
terpretation King of righteousness, 
and after that also King of Salem, 
which is. King of peace ; 

3 Without father, without mother 

1172 



Christ a priest of a higher 

f without descent, having neither be- 
ginning of days, nor end of hfe ; but 
made like unto the Son of God ; 
abideth a priest continually. 

4 Now consider how great this man 
was, ^unto whom even the patriarch 
Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. 

5 And verily ^they that are of the 
sons of Levi, who receive the office 
of the priesthood, have a command- 
ment to take tithes of the people ac- 
cording to the law, that is, of their 
brethren, though they come out of 
the loins of Abraham : 

6 But he whose || descent is not 
counted from them received tithes of 
Abraham, "i and blessed ehimthat had 
the promises. 

7 And without all contradiction the 
less is blessed of the better. 

8 And here men that die receive 
tithes ; but there he receiveth them, 
•"of whom it is witnessed that he liv- 
eth. 

9 And as I may so say, Levi also, 
who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in 
Abraham. 

10 For he was yet in the loins of his 
father, when Melchisedec met him. 

1 1 elf therefore perfection were by 
the Levitical priesthood, (for under 
it the people received the law,) what 
further need ivas there that another 
priest should rise after the order of 
Melchisedec, and not be called after 
the order of Aaron 1 

12 For the priesthood being chang- 
ed, there is made of necessity a change 
also of the law. 

13 For he of whom these things are 
spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of 
which no man gave attendance at the 
altar. 

14 For it is evident that I'our Lord 
sprang out of Juda ; of which tribe 
Moses spake nothing concerning 
priesthood. 

15 And it is yet far more evident : 
for that after the similitude of Mel- 
chisedec there ariseth another priest, 

IG Who is made, not after the law 
of a carnal commandment, but after 
the power of an endless life. 

17 For he testifieth, 'Thou art a 
priest for ever after the order of 
Melchisedec. 

18 For there is verily a disannul- 
ling of the commandment going be-

order than that of Aaron, 

fore, for ^the w^eakness and unprofit- 
ableness thereof. 

19 For 'the law made nothing per- 
fect, II but the bringing in of ™ a bet- ' 
ter hope did; by the which ° we draw 
nigh unto God. 

20 And inasmuch as not without 
an oath he was made priest : 

21 (For those priests were made 
II without an oath ; but this with an 
oath, by him that said unto him, ° The 
Lord s ware, and w'ill not repent, Thou 
a7-t a priest for ever after the order of 
Melchisedec :) 

22 By so much Pwas Jesus made a 
surety of a better testament. 

23 And they truly were many priests, 
because they were not suffered to 
continue by reason of death : 

24 But this man, because he con- 
tinueth ever, hath || an unchangeable 
priesthood. 

25 Wherefore he is able also to save 
them II to the uttermost that come 
unto God by him, seeing he ever liv- 
eth <ito make intercession for them. 

26 For such a high priest became 
us, ^who is holy, harmless, undefiled, 
separate from sinners, ^and made 
higher than the heavens ; 

27 Who needeth not daily, as those 
high priests, to offer up sacrifice, 
'first for his own sins, "and then for 
the people's : for ^ this he did once, 
when he offered up himself. 

28 For the law maketh ymen high 
priests which have infirmity ; but the 
word of the oath, which was since the 
law, maketh the Son, ^who is f con- 
secrated for evermore. 

CHAP. vm. 

1 By the eternal priesthood of Christ the Levitical 
pries/hood of Aaron is abolished. 7 A7id the tem- 
poral covenant icith the fathers, by the eternal 
covenant of the gospel. 

NOW of the things which we have 
spoken this is the sum : We have 
such a high priest, 'J-who is set on 
the right hand of the throne of the 
Majesty in the heavens ; 

2 A minister || of ^the sanctuary, 
and of <=the true tabernacle, which 
the Lord pitched, and not man. 

3 For ''eveiy high priest is ordain- 
ed to offer gifts and sacrifices: where- 
fore ^it is of necessity that this man 
have somewhat also to offer. 

4 For if he were on earth, he should 
not be a priest, seeing that || there 

1173 



The sacrifices of the law 

are priests that offer gifts according 
to the law : 

5 Who serve unto the example and 
f shadow of heavenly things, as Moses 
was admonished of God when he was 
about to make the tabernacle : 8 for, 
See (saith he) that thou make all 
things according to the pattern shew- 
ed to thee in the mount. 

6 But now ''hath he obtained a more 
excellent ministry, by how much also 
he is the mediator of a better |1 cove- 
nant, which was established upon 
better promises. 

7 'For if that first covenant had 
been faultless, then should no place 
have been sought for the second. 

8 For finding fault with them, he 
saith, k Behold, the days come, saith 
the Lord, when I will make a new 
covenant with the house of Israel 
and with the house of Judah : 

9 Not according to the covenant 
that I made with their fathers, in the 
day when I took them by the hand to 
lead them out of the land of Egypt ; 
because they continued not in my 
covenant, and I regarded them not, 
saith the Lord. 

10 For 'this is the covenant that I 
will make with the house of Israel, 
after those days, saith the Lord ; I 
will f put my laws into their mind, 
and write them || in their hearts : and 
™ I will be to them a God, and they 
shall be to me a people : 

1 1 And "they shall not teach every 
man his neighbour, and every man 
his brother, saying, Know the Lord : 
for all shall know me, from the least 
to the greatest. 

12 For I will be merciful to their 
uni'ighteousness, °and their sins and 
their iniquities will I remember no 
more. 

13 Pin that he saith, A new cove- 
nant, he hath made the first old. 
Now that which decayeth and wax- 
eth old, is ready to vanish away.

bread ; which is called || the Sanc- 
tuary. 

3 ''And after the second vail, the ta- 
bernacle which is called the Holiest 
of all ; 

4 Which had the golden censer, 
and g the ark of the covenant overlaid 
round about with gold, wherein was 
''the golden pot that had manna, and 
'Aaron's rod that budded, and i^the 
tables of the covenant ; 

5 And 'over it the cherubims of 
glory shadowing the mercy-seat ; of 
which we cannot now speak particu- 
larly. 

6 Now when these things were thus 
ordained, ™the priests went always 
into the first tabecnacle, accomplish- 
ing the service of God: 

7 But into the second went the 
high priest alone "once every year, 
not without blood, ° which he offered 
for himself, and /or the errors of the 
people : 

8 pThe Holy Ghost this signifying, 
that ithe way into the holiest of all 
was not yet made manifest, while as 
the first tabernacle was yet standing: 

9 Which was a figure for the time 
then present, in which were offered 
both gifts and sacrifices, rfhat could 
not make him that did the service per- 
fect, as pertaining to the conscience; 

10 Which stood only in ^ meats and 
drinks, and 'divers washings, "^and 
carnal || ordinances, imposed on them 
until the time of reformation. 

11 But Christ being come -"^a high 
priest y of good things to come, ^by a 
greater and more perfect tabernacle, 
not made with hands, that is to say, 
not of this building ; 

12 Neither ''^by the blood of goats 
and calves, but ''by his own blood, he 
entered in ^once into the holy place, 
''having obtained eternal redemption 
for us. 

13 For if ^the blood of bulls and of 
goats, and ^the ashes of a heifer 
sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to 
the purifying of the flesh : 

14 How much more s shall the blood 
of Christ, i^who through the eternal 
Spirit 'offered himself without || spot 
to God, 1^ purge your conscience from 
'dead works "^to serve the living 
God? 

15 "And for this cause "he is the

Tlie necessily of Christ's death. 

mediator of the new testament, P that 
by means of death, for the redemp- 
tion of the transgressions that were 
under the first testament.q they which 
are called might receive the promise 
of eternal inheritance. 

IG For wliere a testament is, there 
must also of necessity 1| be the death 
of the testator. 

1 7 For ■■ a testament is of force after 
men are dead: otherwise it is of no 
strength at all while the testator liv- 
eth. 

18 ^Whereupon neither the first tes- 
tament was lldedicated without blood. 

19 For when Moses had spoken 
every precept to all the people ac- 
cording to the law, 'he took the blood 
of calves and of goats, " with water, 
and (I scarlet wool, and hyssop, and 
sprinkled both the book and all the 
people, 

20 Saying, " This is the blood of 
the testament which God hath en- 
joined unto you. 

21 jNIoreover, yhe sprinkled like- 
wise with blood both the tabernacle, 
and all the vessels of the ministry. 

22 And almost all things are by the 
law purged with blood; and ^ with- 
out shedding of blood is no remission. 

23 It vcas therefore necessarj' that 
^ the patterns of things in the hea- 
vens should be purified with these ; 
l>ut the heavenly things themselves 
with better sacrifices than these. 

24 For ^ Christ is not entered into 
the holy places made with hands, 
v-hich are the figures of <^ the true; 
but into heaven itself, now ''to ap- 
pear in the presence of God for us : 

25 Nor yet that he should offer him- 
self often, as ^the high priest enter- 
eth into the holy place every year 
with blood of others ; 

20 For then must he often have 
suffered since the foundation of the 
world: but now *"once sin the end of 
ihe world hath he appeared to put 
away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 

27 '' And as it is appointed unto 
men once to die, ' but after this the 
judgment: 

28 So ''Christ was once ' offered to 
bear the sins '" of many ; and unto 
them that "look for him shall he 
appear the second time without sin 
unto salvation.

The weakness of the law sacrifices. 
CHAP. X. 

I The iceainess of the luic sacrifices. \Q The sa- 
crifice of Christ's body once offered, 14 for ever 
iiath taken aicay sins. 19 An exhortation to hold 
fast the faith, with patience and thanks giving. 

OR the law having ^ a shadow 
^ of good things to come, anrfnot 
the ver)' image of the things, c can 
never with those sacrifices which 
they offered year by year continually, 
make the comers thereunto ''perfect. 

2 For then || would they not have 
ceased to be offered ? because that the 
worshippers once purged should have 
had no more conscience of sins. 

3 ^ But in those sacrifices there is 
a remembrance again made of sins 
eveiy year. 

4 For ^it is not possible that the 
blood of bulls and of goats should 
take away sins. 

5 Wherefore, when he cometh into 
die world, he saith, ^Sacrifice and of- 
fering thou wouldest not, but a body 

II hast thou prepared me : 

6 In burnt-offerings and sacrifices 
for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 

7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the 
volume of the book it is written of 
me) to do thy will, O God. 

8 Above, when he said. Sacrifice and 
offering and burnt-offerings and of- 
fering for sin thou wouldest not, nei- 
ther hadst pleasure therein ; which 
are offered by the law ; 

9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do 
thy will, O God. He taketh away 
the first, that he may establish the 
second. 

10 '' By the which will we are sanc- 
tified 'through the offering of the 
body of Jesus Christ once for all. 

11 And every priest standeth "^ daily 
ministering and offering oftentimes 
the same sacrifices,' which can never 
take away sins : 

12 "But this man, after he had of- 
fered one sacrifice for sins, for ever 
sat down on the right hand of God ; 

13 From henceforth expecting "till 
his enemies be made his footstool. 

14 For by one offering °he hath 
perfected for ever them that are 
sanctified. 

15 Whereof i\\e Holy Ghost also is 
a witness to us : for after that he had 
said before, 

16 pThis is the covenant that I will 
maJie with them after those days, saith 

1175 



Exhortation to steadfast faith, SfC. 

the Lord ; I will put my laws into 
their hearts, and in their minds will 
I write them ; 

1 7 -j- And their sins and iniquities 
will I remember no more. 

18 Now, where remission of these 
is, there is no more offering for sin. 

19 Having therefore, brethren, 
1 II boldness to enter '^ into the holiest 
by the blood of Jesus, 

20 By s a new and living way, which 
he hath || consecrated for us, Hhrough 
the vail, that is to say, his flesh ; 

21 And having "a high priest over 
^the house of God ; 

22 y Let us draw near with a true 
heart, ^ in full assurance of faith, hav- 
ing our hearts sprinkled ^from an evil 
conscience, and i" our bodies washed 
with pure water. 

23 <=Let us hold fast the profession 
of our faith without wavering; for 
d he is faithful that promised : 

24 And let us consider one another, 
to provoke unto love, and to good 
works : 

25 «' Not forsaking the assembling 
of ourselves together, as the manner 
of some is ; but exhorting one an- 
other; and fso much the more, as 
ye see s the day approaching. 

26 For i^if we sin wilfully ■ after 
that we have received the knowledge 
of the truth, there remaineth no more 
sacrifice for sins, 

27 But a certain fearful looking for 
of judgment and ^^ fiery indignation, 
which shall devour the adversaries. 

28 1 He that despised Moses' law, 
died without mercy ^ under two or 
three witnesses : 

29 " Of how much sorer punish- 
ment, suppose ye, shall he be thought 
worthy, who hath trodden under foot 
the Son of God, and » hath counted 
the blood of the covenant, wherewith 
he was sanctified, an unholy thing, 
P and hath done despite unto the Spi- 
rit of grace? 

30 For we know him that hath said, 
iVengeance belongeth unto me, I will 
recompense, saith the Lord, And 
again, rThe Lord shall judge his 
people. 

31 ^It is a fearful thing to fall into 
the hands of the living God. 

32 But t call to remembrance the 
former days, in which, " after ye were

of afflictions; 

33 Partly, while ye were made ya 
gazing-stock both by reproaches and 
afflictions ; and partly, while ^ye be- 
came companions of them that were 
so used, 

34 For ye had compassion of me 
^ in my bonds, and *> took joyfully the 
spoiling of your goods, knowing || in 
yourselves that "^ye have in heaven a 
better and an enduring substance. 

35 Cast not away therefore your 
confidence, ^ which hath great re- 
compense of reward, 

36 ^For ye have need of patience, 
that, after ye have done the will of 
God, fye might receive the promise. 

37 For gyet a little while, and '^he 
that shall come will come, and will 
not tarry. 

38 Now 'the just shall live by faith: 
but if any man draw back, my soul 
shall have no pleasure in him. 

39 But we are not of them ^ who 
draw back unto perdition ; but of 
them that ^ believe to the saving of 
the soul. 

CHAP. XL 

1 What faith is. 6 Without faith we cannot 
please God. 7 The worthy fruits thereof in 
the fathers of old time. 

NOW faith is the 1| substance of 
things hoped for, the evidence 
a of things not seen: 

2 For ^ by it the elders obtained a 
good report. 

3 Through faith we understand that 
<=the worlds were framed by the word 
of God, so that things which are seen 
were not made of things which do 
appear, 

4 By faith ^ Abel offered unto God 
a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, 
by which he obtained witness that he 
was righteous, God testifying of his 
gifts : and by it he being dead ^ || yet 
speaketh, 

5 By faith f Enoch was translated, 
that he should not see death ; and 
was not found, because God had 
translated him : for before his trans- 
lation he had this testimony, that he 
pleased God. 

6 But without faith it is impossible 
to please him : for he that cometh to 
God must believe that he is, and that 
he is a rewarder of them that dili- 
gently seek him. 

1176 



Its acceptdbleness with God, 

7 By faith sNoah, being warned of 
God of things not seen as yet, || mov- 
ed with fear, ii prepared an ark to the 
saving of his house ; by the which he 
condemned the world, and became 
heir of ' the righteousness which is 
by faith. 

8 By faith ^^ Abraham, when he was 
called to go out into a place which 
he should after receive for an inhe- 
ritance, obeyed ; and he went out 
not knowing whither he went. 

9 By faith he sojourned in the land 
of promise, as in a strange countrj', 
'dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac 
and Jacob, •" the heirs with him of 
the same promise : 

10 For he looked for "a city which 
hath foundations, ° whose builder and 
maker is God. 

1 1 Through faith also p Sarah herself 
received strength to conceive seed, 
and qwas delivered of a child when 
she w as past age, because she judged 
him ■■ faithful who had promised. 

12 Therefore sprang there even of; 
one, and ^ him as good as dead, ' so^. 
many as the stars of the sky in mul-j 
titude, and as the sand which is by 
the sea-shore innumerable. 

13 These all died fin faith, "not 
having received the promises, but 
^having seen them afar off, and were 
persuaded of litem, and embraced 
them, and > confessed tliat they were 
strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 

14 For they that say such things 
=^declare plainly that they seek a 
country. 

15 And truly, if they had been 
mindful of that country from whence 
they came out, they might have had 
opportunity to have returned. 

IG But now they desire a better 
country, that is, a heavenly: where- 
fore God is not ashamed ^to be call- 
ed their God : for ''he hath prepared 
for tiiem a city. 

17 By faith ^^ Abraham, when he was 
tried, offered up Isaac : and he that 
had received the promises ^ offered 
up his only begotten son, 

18 II Of whom it was said, <= That in 
Isaac shall thy seed be called : 

19 Accounting that God ^was able 
to raise liim up, even from the dead ; 
from whence also he received him in 
a figure.

illustrated by divers examples, 

20 By faith s Isaac blessed Jacob 
and Esau concerning things to come. 

21 By faith Jacob, when he was 
a dying, '= blessed both the sons of 
Joseph ; and 'worshipped, leaning 
upon the top of his staff. 

22 By faith '^Joseph, when he died, 
II made mention of the departing of 
the children of Israel ; and gave com- 
mandment concerning his bones. 

23 By faith 'Moses, when he was 
born, was hid three months of his 
parents, because they saw he was a 
proper child ; and they were not afraid 
of the king's ™ commandment. 

24 By faith "Moses, when he was 
come to years, refused to be called 
the son of Pharaoh's daughter ; 

25 o Choosing rather to suffer afflic- 
tion with the people of God, than to 
enjoy the pleasures of sin for a sea- 
son ; 

26 Esteeming Pthe reproach || of 
Christ greater riches than the trea- 
sures in EgA'pt : for he had respect 
unto qthe recompense of the re- 
ward. 

27 By faith ''he forsook Egypt, not 
fearing the wrath of the king : for 
he endured, as ^seeing him who is 
invisible. 

28 Through faith 'he kept the pass- 
over, and the sprinkling of blood, lest 
he that destroyed the first-born should 
touch them. 

29 By faith "they passed through 
the Red sea as by dry land: which 
the Egyptians assaying to do were 
drowned. 

30 By faith ^the walls of Jericho 
fell down, after they were compass- 
ed about seven days. 

31 By faith ythe harlot Rahab pe- 
rished not with them || that believed 
not, when ^she had received the spies 
with peace. 

32 And what shall I say more ? for 
the time would fail me to tell of ^Ge- 
deon, and of ''Barak, and of = Samson, 
and of ''Jephthae, of e David also, 
and f Samuel, and of the prophets : 

33 Who through faith subdued 
kingdoms, wrought righteousness, 
g obtained promises, h stopped the 
mouths of lions, 

34 'Quenched the violence of fire, 
k escaped the edge of the sword, 'out 
of weakness weremade strong,waxed

Exhortation to patience and constancy 

valiant in fight, ■"turned to flight the 
armies of the ahens. 

35 "Women received their dead 
raised to life again : and others were 
" tortured, not accepting deliverance ; 
that they might obtain a better re- 
surrection : 

36 And others had trial of crv.el 
mockings and scourgings, yea, more- 
over q of bonds and imprisonment : 

37 "^They were stoned, they were 
sawn asunder, were tempted, were 
slain with the sword: ^ they wandered 
about 'in sheep-skins, and goat-skins; 
being destitute, afflicted, tormented ; 

38 (Of whom the world was not 
worthy :) they wandered in deserts, 
and in mountains, and "m dens and 
caves of the earth. 

39 And these all, ''having obtained 
a good report through faith, received 
not the promise : 

40 God having || provided y some 
better thing for us, that they without 
us should not be ^made perfect. 

CHAP. XII. 

1 An exhortation to constant faith, patience, and 
godliness. 22 A commendation of the new tes- 
tament above the old. 

WHEREFORE, seeing we also 
are compassed about with so 
great a cloud of witnesses, ^ let us lay 
aside every weight, and the sin which 
doth so easily beset us, and ^let us 
run <=with patience the race that is 
set before us, 

2 Looking unto Jesus the || author 
and finisher of our faith ; ^ who, for 
the joy that was set before him, en- 
dured the cross, despising the shame, 
and '^is set down at the right hand of 
the throne of God. 

3 Tor consider him that endured 
such contradiction of sinners against 
himself, elestyebe wearied and faint 
in your minds. 

4 ^Ye have not yet resisted unto 
blood, striving against sin. 

5 And ye have forgotten the exhor- 
tation which speaketh unto you as 
unto children, 'My son, despise not 
thou the chastening of the Lord, nor 
faint when thou art rebuked of him : 

6 For kwhom the Lord loveth he 
chasteneth, and scourgeth every son 
whom he receiveth. 

7 'If ye endure chastening, God 
dealeth with you as with sons : for

The benefit of God's chastisements. 

what son is he whom the father chas- 
teneth not ? 

8 But if ye be without chastisement, 
""whereof ail are partakers, then are 
ye bastards, and not sons. 

9 Furthermore, we have had fathei's 
of our flesh which corrected us, and 
we gave them reverence : shall we 
not much rather be in subjection unto 
" the Father of spirits, and live ? 

10 For they verily for a few days 
chastened us \\ after their own plea- 
sure ; but he for our profit, "that we 
might be partakers of his holiness. 

11 Now no chastening for the pre- 
sent seemeth to be joyous, but griev- 
ous : nevertheless, afterward it yield- 
eth Pthe peaceable fruit of righteous- 
ness unto them which are exercised 
thereby. 

12 Wherefore qfift up the hands 
which hang down, and the feeble 
knees ; 

13 ■'And make 1) straight paths for 
your feet, lest that which is lame be 
turned out of the way; ^but let it 
I'ather be healed. 

14 ^Follow peace with all men, and 
holiness, "without which no man 
shall see the Lord : 

15 ^Looking diligently, ylest any 
man H fail of the grace of God ; ^lest 
any root of bitterness springing up, 
trouble you, and thereby many be 
defiled ; 

16 J^Lest there he any fornicator, or 
profane person, as Esau, ^ who for one 
morsel of meat sold his birthright. 

17 For ye know how that afterward, 
•^when he would have inherited the 
blessing, he was rejected : ^ifor he 
found no || place of repentance, 
though he sought it carefully with 
tears. 

18 For ye are not come unto "^the 
mount that might be touched, and 
that burned with fire, nor unto bjack- 
ness, and darkness, and tempest, 

19 And the sound of a trumpet, 
and the voice of words ; which voice 
they that heard, ^entreated that the 
word should not be spoken to them 
any more : 

20 (For they could not endure that 
which was commanded, sAnd if so 
much as a beast touch the mountain, 
it shall be stoned, or thrust through 
with a dart : 

1178 



Hie danger of refusing the word. 

21 ^And so terrible was the sight, 
that Moses said, I exceedingly fear 
and quake :) 

22 But ye are come 'unto mount 
Sion, i^and unto the city of the living 
God, the heavenly Jerusalem, 'and to 
an innumerable company of angels, 

23 To the general assembly and 
church of ^the fii'st-born, ^^ which 
are || written in heaven, and to God 
"the Judge of all, and to the spirits 
of just men Pmade perfect, 

24 And to Jesus ithe Mediator of 
the new |j covenant, and to ""the blood 
of sprinkling, that speaketh better 
things ^thau that of Abel. 

25 See that ye refuse not him that 
speaketh. For 'if they escaped not 
who refused him that spake on earth, 
much more sJiall not we escape, if we 
turn away from him that speaketh 
from heaven : 

2G "Whose voice then shook the 
earth : but now he hath promised, 
saying, *Yet once more I shake not 
the earth only, but also heaven. 

27 And this icord, Yet once more, 
signifieth )thc removing of those 
things that || are shaken, as of things 
that are made, that those things which 
cajmot be shaken may remain. 

28 Wherefore we receiving a king- 
dom which cannot be moved, ||let us 
liave grace, whereby we may sene 
God acceptably, with reverence and 
godly fear ; 

29 For ^our God zsaconsumingfire.

conclusion. 

LET ''brotherly love continue. 
2 ^Be not forgetful to enter- 
tain strangers: for thereby <=some 
have entertained angels unawares. 

3 •'Remember them that are in 
bonds, as bound with them ; and 
them which suffer adversity, as be- 
ing yourselves also in the body. 

4 Marriage is honourable in all, and 
the bed undefiled: 'but whoremongers 
and adulterers God will judge.

Lord is my helper, and I will not fear 
what man shall do unto me. 

7 'Remember them which || have 
the rule over you, who have spoken 
unto you the word of God : ^whose 
faith follow, considering the end of 
their conversation : 

8 Jesus Christ Uhe same yester- 
day, and to-day, and for ever. 

9 '"Be notcan'ied about with divers 
and strange doctrines : for it is a 
good thing that the heart be esta- 
blished with gi'ace ; "not with meats, 
which have not profited them that 
have been occupied therein. 

10 ° We have an altar, whereof they 
have no right to eat which serve the 
tabernacle. 

11 For Pthe bodies of those beasts, 
whose blood is brought into the sanc- 
tuary by the high priest for sin, are 
burned without the camp. 

12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he 
might sanctify the people with his 
own blood, <i suffered without the 
gate. 

13 Let us go forth therefore unto 
him without the camp, bearing ""his 
reproach. 

14 ^For here have we no continuing 
city, but we seek one to come. 

15 'By him therefore let us offer 
"the sacrifice of praise to God con- 
tinually, that is, ^the fruit of our lips, 
t giving thanks to his name. 

16 yBut to do good, and to commu- 
nicate, forget not : for ^ with such sa- 
crifices God is well pleased. 

17 ''Obey them that i| have the rule 
over you, and submit yourselves : for 
^they watch for your souls, as they 
that must give account, that they 
may do it with joy, and not with 
grief: for that is unprofitable for 
you. 

18 <=Pray for us : for we trust we 
have '^ a good conscience, in all things 
willing to live honestly. 

19 But I beseech you «the rather to 
do this, that I may be restored to you

CHAP. I. 

I We are to rejoice under the cross, 5 to ask pa- 
tience of God, 13 and in our trials not to impute 
our weakness, or sins, unto him, 19 but rather 
to hearken to the word, to meditate in it, and to 
do thereafter. 26 Otherwise men may seem, hut 
never he truly religious.

^ of the Lord Jesus Christ, '^to

2 My brethren, e count it all joy 
^when ye fall into divers temptations; 

3 g Knowing this, that the trying of 
your faith worketh patience. 

4 But let patience have her perfect 
work, that ye may be perfect and en-

15 q If a brother or sister be naked, 
and destitute of daily food,

Depart in peace, be ye warmed and

the body ; what doth it profit ?

works, is dead, being f alone. 

18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast 
faith, and I have works : shew me thy 
faith II without thy Avorks, ^and I will 
shew thee my faith by my works. 

19 Thou believest that there is one 
God; thou doest well: Hhe devils 
also believe, and tremble. 

20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, 
that faith without works is dead ? 

21 AVas not Abraham our father 
justified by works, "when he had of- 
fered Isaac his son upon the altar ? 

22 II Seest thou" how faith wrought 
with his works.and by works was faith 
made perfect ? 

23 And the scripture was fulfilled, 
which saith,>' Abraham believed God, 
and it was imputed unto him for 
righteousness : and he was called ^the 
Friend of God. 

24 Ye see then how that by works 
a man is justified, and not by faith 
only. 

25 Likewise also ^'was not Rahab 
the harlot justified by w'orks, when 
she had received the messengers, and 
had sent them out another way ? 

26 For as the body without the 
II spirit isdead, so faith without works 
is dead also.

1 We are not rashly or arro^aniltj to reprote 
others : 5 but rather to bridle the tongue, a lit- 
tle member, but a powerful instrument of muck 
good, and great harm. 13 Thei/ who be truly 
wise be mild, and peaceable, without envying, 
and strife. 

MY brethren, ^ be not many mas- 
ters, '' knowing that we shall 
receive the greater || condemnation. 

2 For ^ in many things we offend 
all. ^ If any man offend not in word, 
e the same is a perfect man, and able 
also to bridle the whole body. 

3 Behold, fwe put bits in the horses' 

1181 



Of governing the tongue. 

mouths, that they may obey us ; and 
we turn about their whole body. 

4 Behold also the ships, which, 
though they be so great, and are 
driven of fierce winds, yet are they 
turned about with a very small helm, 
whithersoever the governor listeth. 

5 Even so s the tongue is a little 
member, and ^i boasteth great things. 
Behold, how great || a matter a little 
fire kindleth ! 

6 And i the tongue is a fire, a world 
of iniquity : so is the tongue among 
our members, that '^it defileth the 
whole body, and setteth on fire the 
t course of nature ; and it is set on 
fire of hell. 

7 For every f kind of beasts, and of 
birds, and of serpents, and of things 
in the sea, is tamed, and hath been 
tamed, of f mankind : 

8 But the tongue can no man tame ; 
it is an unruly evil, ^ full of deadly 
poison. 

9 Therewith bless we God, even the 
Father; and therewith curse we men, 
"which are made after the similitude 
of God. 

10 Out of the same mouth proceed- 
eth blessing and cursing. My bre- 
thren, these things ought not so to 
be. 

11 Doth a fountain send forth at 
the same || place sweet water and bit- 
ter ? 

12 Can the fig-tree, my brethren, 
bear olive-berries? either a vine, figs? 
so can no fountain both yield salt 
water and fresh. 

1 3 ° Who is a wise man and endued 
with knowledge among you ? let him 
shew out of a good conversation ° his 
works Pwith meekness of wisdom. 

14 But if ye have i bitter envying 
and strife in your hearts, ■'glory not, 
and lie not against the truth. 

15 ^This wisdom descendeth not 
from above, but is earthly, || sensual, 
devilish. 

16 For* where envying and strife 
is, there is f confusion and every 
evil work. 

17 But "the wisdom that is from 
above is first pure, then peaceable, 
gentle, and easy to be entreated, full 
of mercy and good fruits, || without 
partiality, ''and v/ithout hypocrisy.

1 We are to strive against coveiovsness, 4 intem- 
perance, 5 pride, 11 detraction, and rash judg- 
ment of others : 13 andnot to be confident in the 
good success of worldly business, but mirulful 
ever of the uncertainty of this life, to commit 
ourselves and all our affairs to God' s providence. 

ROM whence come wars and 
II fightings among you ? come 
they not hence, even of your || lusts 
2^ that war in your members ? 

2 Ye lust and have not: ye || kill, 
and desire to have, and cannot ob- 
tain : ye fight and war, yet ye have 
not, because ye ask not. 

3 ^ Ye ask, and receive not, <= be- 
cause ye ask amiss, that ye may con- 
sume it upon your || lusts. 

4 ^ Ye adulterers and adulteresses, 
know ye not that ^ the friendship of 
the world is enmity with God ? f who- 
soever therefore will be a friend of the 
world is the enemy of God. 

5 Do ye think that the scripture 
saith in vain, sThe spirit that dwell- 
eth in us lusteth || to envy ? 

GButhegiveth more grace. Where- 
fore he saith, ^ God resisteth the proud, 
but giveth grace unto the humble. 

7 Submit yourselves therefore to 
God. ' Resist the devil, and he will 
flee from you. 

8 ''Draw nigh to God, and he will 
draw nigh to you. ^ Cleanse your 
hands, ye sinners, and ™ purify your 
hearts, ye " double-minded. 

9 ° Be afflicted, and mourn, and 
weep : let your laughter be turned to 
mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 

10 P Humble yourselves in the sight

15 For that ye ought to say, ylf 
the Lord will, we shall live, and do 
this, or that. 

16 But now ye rejoice in your boast- 
ings : 2 all such rejoicing is evil. 

17 Therefore ^to him that knoweth 
to do good, and doeth it not, to him 
it is sin. 

CHAP. V. 

I IVicked rich men are to fear God's vengeance. 
7 We ought to be patient in afflictions, after the 
example of the prophets, and Job : 12 to forbear 
swearing, 13 to pray in adversity, to sing ii 
prosperity : 16 to acknoicledge mutually our se 
veral faults, to pray one for another, 19 and to 
reduce a straying brother to the truth. 

GO ^to now, ye rich men, weep 
and howl for your miseries that 
shall come upon i/ou. 

2 Your riches are corrupted, and 
''your garments are moth-eaten. 

3 Your gold and silver is canker-

Exhortations to patience, Sfc. 
other, brethren, lest ye be condemn- 
ed : behold, the Judge 'standeth be- 
fore the door. 

10 '"Take, my brethren, the pro- 
phets, who have spoken in the name 
of the Lord, for an example of suf- 
fering affliction, and of patience. 

11 Behold, i^we count them happy 
which endure. Ye have heard of 
°the patience of Job, and have seen 
Pthe end of the Lord; that qthe 
Lord is very pitiful, and of tender 
mercy. 

12 But above all things, my bre- 
thren, "■ swear not, neither by heaven, 
neither by the earth, neither by any 
other oath : but let your yea, be yea; 
and your nay, nay ; lest ye fall into 
condemnation. 

13 Is any among you afflicted ? let 
him pray. Is any merry ? ^let him 
sing psalms. 

14 Is any sick among you? let him 
call for the elders of the church; and 
let them pray over him, ^ anointing 
him with oil in the name of the Lord : 

15 And the prayerof faith shall save 
the sick, and the Lord shall raise him 
up ; "and if he have committed sins, 
they shall be forgiven him. 

16 Confess your faults one to an- 
other, and pray one for another, that 
ye may be healed. ^The effectual 
fervent prayer of a righteous man 
availeth much. 

17 Elias was a man J' subject to like 
passions as we are, and ^he prayed 
II earnestly that it might not rain : 
^ and it rained not on the earth by the 
space of three years and six months. 

18 And ''he prayed again, and the 
heaven gave rain, and the earth 
brought forth her fruit. 

19 iSrethren, ^jf any of you do err 
from the truth, and one convert him ; 

20 Let him know, that he which 
converteth the sinner from the error of 
his way'shall save a soul fromdeath, 
and e shall hide a multitude of sins.

of Jesus Christ: f Grace unto you, 
and peace, be multiplied.

''by the resurrection of Jesus Christ 
from the dead,

with fire, 'might be found unto praise, 
and honour, and glory, at the appear- 
ing of Jesus Christ :

^in whom, though now ye see him 
not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy 
unspeakable, and full of glory :

even the salvation of your souls.

have inquired and searched diligent 
ly, who prophesied of the grace that 
should come unto you : 

11 Searching what,or what manner 
of time ''■the Spirit of Christ which 
was in them did signify, when it tes 
tified beforehand ^the sufferings of 
Christ, and the glory that should fol

that <inot unto themselves, but unto 
us they did minister the things which 
are now reported unto you by them 
that have preached the gospel unto 
you, with ^the Holy Ghost sent down 
from heaven ; f which things the an 
gels desire to look into. 

13 Wherefore ggird up the loins of 
your mind, ^^be sober, and hope f to

brought unto you 'at the revelation 
of Jesus Christ :

5 ^Ye also, as lively stones, || are 
built up &a spiritual house, ^a holy

Christ. 

6 Wherefore also it is contained in 
the scripture, 'Behold, I lay in Sion 
a chief corner-stone, elect, precious: 
and he that believeth on him shall 
not be confounded. 

7 Unto you therefore which be- 
lieve, he is II precious : but unto them

same is made the head of the corner,

stumble at the word, being disobe- 
dient : P whereunto also they were 
appointed.

shew forth the || praises of him who 
hath called you out of "darkness in- 
to his marvellous light : 

10 ^ Which in time past were not 
a people, but are now the people of 
God : which had not obtained mer-

brotherhood. "Fear God. Honour 
the king. 

18 "Servants, be i^ubject to yo7ir 
masters with all fear ; not only to 
the good and gentle, but also to the 
froward. 

1 9 For this is \\ P thank-worthy, if a 
man for conscience toward God en- 
dure grief, suffering wrongfully. 

20 For qwhat glory is it, if, when ye 
be buffeted for your faults, ye shall 
take it patiently ? but if, vi'hen ye do 
well, and suffer /or it, ye take it pa- 
tiently, this is II acceptable with God. 

21 For ■'even hereunto were ye 
called : because ^Christ also suffered 

for us, * leaving us an example, that 
ye should follow his steps : 

22 "Who did no sin, neither was 
guile found in his mouth : 

23 -^ Who, when he was reviled, re- 
viled not again ; when he suffered, 
he threatened not ; but y \\ commit- 
ted himself to him that judgeth right- 
eously : 

24 z Who his own self bare our sins 
in his own body || on the tree, ^that 

B, being dead to sins, should live 
unto righteousness it" by whose stripes 
ye were healed. 

25 For "^ye were as sheep going a- 
stray ; but are now returned '' unto the 
Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. 

CHAP. m. 

1 He tearheth ike duty of icives and husbands to 
each other, 8 e.xhorliiig all mot to unity aiid love, 
\\ and to suffer persecution. 19 He declareth 
also the benejiis of Christ to/card the old norld. 

LIKEWISE, ''ye wives, 6e in sub- 
jection to your own husbands ; 
that, if any obey not the word, ''they 
also may without the word ^be won 
by the conversation of the wives ; 

2 dWhile they behold your chaste 
conversation coupled with fear. 

3 <= Whose adorning let it not be 
that outward adorning of plaiUng the 
hair, and of wearing of gold, or of 
putting on of apparel ; 

4 But let it be 'the hidden man of 
the heart, in that which is not cor- 
ruptible, even the ornament of a meek 
and quiet spirit, which is in the sight 
of God of great price. 

5 For after this manner in the old 
time the holy women also, who trust- 
ed in God, adorned themselves, being 
in subjection unto their own hus- 
bands :

Exhortations to unity, love, 

6 Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, 
scaUinghim lord: whose f daughters 
ye are, as long as ye do well, and are 
not afraid with any amazement. 

7 '^Likewise, ye husbands, dwell 
witli them according to knowledge, 
giving honour unto the wife, ' as unto 
the weaker vessel, and as being heirs 
together of the grace of life ; ^that 
your prayers be not hindered. 

8 Finally, ^be ye all of one mind, 
having compassion one of another ; 
'" II love as brethren, "ie pitiful, he 
courteous : 

■ 9 °Not rendering evil for evil, or 
railing for railing : but contrariwise, 
blessing ; knowing that ye are there- 
unto called, Pthat ye should inherit 
a blessing. 

10 For ihe that will love life, and 
see good days, ^let him refrain his 
tongue from evil, and his lips that 
they speak no guile : 

11 Let him ^eschew evil, and do 
Met him seek peace, and en- 
sue it. 

12 For the eyes of the Loi'd are 
over the righteous, "and his ears are 
open unto their prayers : but the face 
of the Lord is f against them that do 
evil. 

13 ^And who is he that will harm 
you, if ye be followers of that which 
is good ? 

14 3' But and if ye suffer for righte- 
ousness' sake, happy are ye ; and ^ be 
not afraid of their terror, neither be 
troubled ; 

15 But sanctify the Lord God in 
your hearts : and ^be ready always to 
give an answer to every man that 
asketh you a reason of the hope that 
is in you, with meekness and || fear. 

16 ''Having a good conscience ; 
<=that,whei'eas they speak evil of you, 
as of evil-doers, they may be ashamed 
that falsely accuse your good con- 
versation in Christ. 

17 For it is better, if the will of 
God be so, that ye suffer for well- 
doing, than for evil-doing. 

18 For Christ also hath <Jonce suf- 
fered for sins, the just for the unjust, 
that he might bring us to God, ^ be- 
ing put to death 'in the flesh, but 
g quickened by the Spirit : 

19 By which also he went and 
*> preached unto the spirits ' in prison ;

the flesh hath ceased from sin ;

as the oracles of God ; ^if any man 
minister, let hun do it as of the ability 
which God giveth : that yGod in all 
things may be glorified through Jesus 
Christ ; ^ to whom be praise and do- 
minion for ever and ever. Amen. 

12 Beloved, think it not strange, 
concerning ^^the fiery trial which is 
to try you, as though some strange 
thing happened unto you : 

13 ''But rejoice, inasmuch as ^ye 
are partakers of Christ's sufferings ; 
^ that, when his glory shall be reveal- 
ed, ye may be glad also with exceed- 
ing joy. 

14"^ If ye be reproached for the name 
of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spi- 
rit of ^lory and of God resteth upon 
you. 'On their part he is evil spoken 
of, but on your part he is glorified. 

15 But fe'let none of you suffer as a 
murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil- 
doer, ^ov as a busybody in other 
men's matters. 

IC Yet if any man svjferas a Chris- 
tian, let him not be ashamed; 'but 
let him glorify God on this behalf. 

17 For the time is come i* that judg- 
ment must begin at the house of God: 
and 'if it i'lrst begin at us. "'what 
shall the end be of them that obey 
not the gospel of God? 

18 "And if the righteous scarcely 
be saved, where shall the ungodly 
and the sinner appear ?

according to the will of God, ° commit 
the keeping of their souls to him in

tain unto life and godliness, <= through 
the knowledge of him ^^that hath call- 
ed us II to glory and virtue : 

4 ^Whereby are given unto us ex- 
ceeding great and precious promises ; 
that by these ye might be ^partakers 
of the divine nature, shaving escaped 
the corruption that is in the world 
through lust. 

5 And besides this, i^giving all dili- 
gence, add to your faith, virtue ; and 
to virtue, * knowledge ; 

6 And to knowledge, temperance ; 
and to temperance, patience ; and to 
patience, godliness; 

7 And to godliness, brotherly kind- 
ness ; and ^ to brotherly kindness, 
charity. 

8 For if these things be in you, 
and abound, they make you that ye 
shall neither he f barren 'nor un- 
fruitful in the knov/ledge of our Lord 
Jesus Christ. 

9 But he that lacketh these things 
>"is blind, and cannot see afar off,

12 Wherefore ql will not be negli-

as I am in this tabernacle, 'to stir 
you up by putting you in remem-

The proofs of Chrises second coming. 

16 For we have not followed y cun- 
ningly devised fables, when we made 
known unto you the power and com- 
ing of our Lord Jesus Christ, but 
^were eye-witnesses of his majesty. 

17 For he received from God the 
Father honour and glory, when there 
came such a voice to him from the 
excellent glory, '^ This is my beloved 
Son, in whom I am well pleased. 

18 And this voice which came from 
heaven we heard, when we were 
with him in ^ the holy mount. 

19 We have also a more sure word 
of prophecy ; whereunto ye do well 
that ye take heed, as unto ^ a hght 
that shineth in a dark place, until 
the day dawn, and «ithe day-star 
arise in your hearts : 

20 Knowing this first, that ^no pro- 
phecy of the scripture is of any pri- 
vate interpretation. 

21 For fthe prophecy came not ||in 
old time by the will of man : g but 
holy men of God spake as they were 
moved by the Holy Ghost, 

CHAP. H. 

1 He foretelleih them of false teachers, shewing 
the impiety and punishment both of them and 
their folloicers : 7 from which the godly shall 
be delivered, as Lot teas ovt of Sodom : 10 and 
more fully describeih the manners of those pro- 
fane and blasphemous seducers, whereby they 
may be the better known, and avoided. 

UT =1 there were false prophets 
also among the people, even as 
b there shall be false teachers among 
you, who privily shall bring in dam- 
nable heresies, even <= denying the 
Lord "^ that bought them, ° and bring 
upon themselves swift destruction. 

2 And many shall follow their i| per- 
nicious ways ; by reason of whom the 
way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 

3 And ^through covetousness shall 
they with feigned words ffmake mer- 
chandise of you : h whose judgment 
now of a long time lingereth not, and 
their damnation slumbereth not. 

4 For if God spared not 'the angels 
^that sinned, but ^cast them down to 
hell, and delivered them into chains 
of darkness, to be reserved unto 
judgment ; 

5 And spared not the old world, 
but saved mNoah the eighth ;9e?-son, 
° a preacher of righteousness, ° bring- 
ing in the flood upon the world of 
the ungodly;

them with an overthrow, q making 
them an ensample unto those that

7 And '■delivered just Lot, vexed 
with the filthy conversation of the 
wicked : 

8 (For that righteous man dwell- 
ing among them, 'in seeing and hear- 
ing, vexed his righteous soul from 
day to d ay with their unlawful deeds ;) 

9 "The Lord knoweth how to deli- 
ver the godly out of temptadons, and 
to reserve the unjust unto the day of 
judgment to be punished : 

10 But chiefly 5^ them that walk af- 
ter the flesh in the lust of unclean- 
ness, and despise || government. yPre- 
surnptuous are they, self-willed ; they 
are not afraid to speak evil of digni- 
ties. 

11 Whereas ^angels, which are 
greater in power and might, bring 
not railing accusation t| against them 
before the Lord. 

12 But these, ^as natural brute 
beasts, made to be taken and de- 
stroyed, speak evil of the things that 
they understand not ; and shall utter- 
ly perish in their own corruption : 

1.3 ''And shall receive the reward of 
unrighteousness, as they that count 
it pleasure =to riot in the day-time. 
•* Spots they arc and blemishes, sport- 
ing themselves with their own deceiv. 
ings while ^they feast with you ; 

14 Having eyes full of f adultery, 
and that cannot cease from sin ; be- 
guiling unstable souls : ''a heart they 
have exercised with covetous prac- 
tices ; cursed children : 

15 Which have forsaken the right 
way, and are gone astray, following 
the way of eBalaam the son of Bo- 
sor, who loved the wages of unright- 
eousness ; 

IG But was rebuked for his iniqui- 
ty: the dumb ass, speaking with man's 
voice, forbade the madness of the pro- 
phet. 

17 ^These are wells without water, 
clouds that are carried with a tem- 
pest ; to whom the mist of darkness 
is reserved for ever.

Of Christ^ s second coming. 

clean escaped from them who live 
in error. 

19 While they promise them Uiber- 
ty,they themselves are f^the servants 
of corruption : for of whom a man is 
overcome, of the same is he brought 
in bondage. 

20 For " if after they ° have escaped 
the pollutions of the world P through 
the knowledge of the Lord and Sa- 
viour Jesus Christ, they are again en- 
tangled therein, and overcome, the 
latter end is worse with them than 
the beginning. 

21 For lit had been better for them 
not to have known the way of right- 
eousness, than, after they have known 
it, to turn from the holy command- 
ment delivered unto them. 

22 But it is happened unto them 
according to the true proverb, ^The 
dog is turned to his own vomit again ; 
and. The sow that was washed, to 
her wallowing in the mire. 

CHAP. l\\. 

1 He assureih them of the certainty of Christ'* 
coming to judgement, against those scoriiers tcho 
dispute against it : 8 warning the godly, for the 
long patience of God, to hasten their repentance. 
10 He describeth also the manner how the world 
shall be destroyed : 11 exhorting them, from the 
expectation thereof to all holiness of life: \oand 
again,to think- the patience of God to tend to their 
salvation, as Paul wrote to ihem in his epistles, 

THIS second epistle, beloved, I 
now write unto you ; in both 
which ^I stir up your pure minds by 
way of remembrance : 

2 That ye may be mindful of the 
words which were spoken before by 
the holy prophets, ''and of the com- 
mandment of us the apostles of the 
Lord and Saviour : 

3 c Knowing this first, that there 
shall come in the last days scoffers, 
d walking after their own lusts, 

4 And saying, ^ Where is the pro- 
mise of his coming? for since the 
fathers fell asleep, all things continue 
as they were from the beginning of 
the creation. 

5 For this they willingly are igno- 
rant of, that ^by the word of God the 
heavens were of old, and the earth 
fg standing out of the water and in 
the water : 

6 •'Whereby the world that then 
was, being overflowed with water, 
perished : 

7 But 'the heavens and the earth, 
which are now, by the same word are

The day of the Lord described. 

kept in store, reserved unto "^fire a 
gainst the day of judgment and per 
dition of ungodly men, 

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of 
ihis one thing, that one day is w^ith 
the Lord as a thousand years, and ^a 
tliousand years as one day, 

9 ""The Lord is not slack concern- 
ing his promise, as some men count 
slackness; but "is long-suffering to 
us- ward, °not willing that any should 
perish, but Pthat all should come to 
repentance. 

10 But qthe day of the Lord will 
come as a thief in the night-; in the 
which rthe heavens shall pass away 
with a great noise, and the elements 
shall melt with fervent heat, the earth 
also and the works that are therein 
shall be burned up, 

1 1 Seeing then that all these things 
shall be dissolved, what manner of 
persons ought ye to be ^in all holy 
conversation and godliness, 

12 'Looking for and 1| hasting un- 
to the coming of the day of God, 
wherein the heavens being on fire 
shall "be dissolved, and the elements 
shall ^rnelt with fervent heat ?

Advice to grow in grace. 

13 Nevertheless we, according to 
his promise, look for ynew heavens 
and a new earth, wherein dwelleth, 
righteousness, 

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that 
ye look for such things, be diligent 
^ that ye may be found of him in peace, 
without spot, and blameless, 

15 And account that Hh^ long-suf- 
fering of our Lord is salvation ; even 
as our beloved brother Paul also, ac- 
cording to the wisdom given unto 
him, hath written unto you ; .^, 

16 As also in all his epistles, i^ speak;? 
ing in them of these things ; in which 
are some things hard to be under- 
stood, which they that are unlearned 
and unstable wrest, as they do also 
the other scriptures, unto their own 
destruction. 

17 Ye therefore, beloved, <= seeing 
ye know these things before, "^beware 
lest ye also, being led away with the 
error of the wicked, fall from yoi^r 
own steadfastness. ■; 

18 «=But grow in grace, and in the 
knowledge of our Lord and Saviour 
Jesus Christ. fTo him be glory both 
now and for ever. Amen.

1 He describeih the person of Christ, in vhom we 
have eternal life, by a communion with God : 
5 to which we nnist adjoin holiness of life, to 
testify the truth of that our communion and 
•profession of faith, as also to assure us of the 
forgiveness of our sins by Christ's death. 

THAT a which was from the be- 
ginning, which we have heard, 
which we have seen with our eyes, 
i" which we have looked upon, and 
«=our hands have handled, of the 
Word of life ;

and we have seen it, fand bear wit- 
ness, sand shew unto you that eternal 
life h which was with the Father, and 
■was manifested unto us ;) 

3 'That which we have seen and 
heard declare we unto you, that ye 
also may have fellowship with us : 
and truly '^our fellowship is with the 
Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

you, 'that your joy may be full.

Christ our advocate with the Father. CHAP. II. 

MY little children, these things 
write I unto you, that ye sin 
not. And if any man sin, ^vre have 
an advocate with the Father, Jesus 
Christ the righteous: 

2 And ''he is the propitiation for 
our sins : and not for oui's only, 
but <= also for the sins of the whole 
world. 

3 And hereby we do know that we 
know him, if we keep his command- 
ments. 

4 '*He that saith, I know him, and 
keepeth not his commandments, ^is 
a liar, and the truth is not in him. 

5 But f whoso keepeth his word, sin 
him verily is the love of God perfect- 
ed : h liereby know we that we are in 
him. 

6 'He that saith he abideth in him, 
•'ought himself also so to walk, even 
as he walked. 

7 Brethren, ' I write no new com- 
mandment unto you, but an old com- 
mandment "which ye had from the 
beginning: The old commandment is 
the word which ye have heard from 
the beginning. 

8 Again, " a new commandment I 
write unto you, which thing is true 
in him and in you: ° because the 
darkness is past, and P the true light 
now shineth. 

9 'iHe that saith he is in the light, 
and hateth his brother, is in darkness 
even until now. 

10 'He that loveth his brother 
abideth in the light, and ^ there is 
none f occasion of stumbling in him. 

11 But he that hateth his brother is 
in darkness, and 'walketh in dark- 
ness, and knoweth not whither he 
goeth, because tiiat darkness hath 
blinded his eyes. 

12 I write unto you, little children, 
because "your sins are forgiven you 
for his name's sake. 

1 3 I write unto you, fathers, because 
ye have known him ^that is from the 
beginning. I write unto you, young 
men, because ye have overcome the 
wicked one. I write unto you, little 
children, because ye have known the 
Father. 

14 I have written unto you, fathers, 
because ye have known him that is 
from the beginning. I have written 
unto vou, voung men, because y\e Ig^^^^-^-

A warning against false teachers. 

are strong, and the word of God 
abideth in you, and ye have over- 
come the wicked one. 

15 ^Love not theworld, neither the 
things that are in the world. '^If 
any man love the world, the love of 
the Father is not in him. 

16 For all that is in the world, the 
lust of the flesh, "^and the lust of the 
eyes, and the pride of life, is not of 
the Father, but is of the world. 

17 And t^the world passeth away, 
and the lust thereof: but he that 
doeth the will of God abideth for 
ever. 

18 "^Little children, e it is the last 
time: and as ye have heard that ^an- 

Itichrist shall come, ?even now are 
j there many antichrists ; whereby we 
know ^'that it is die last time. 

19 'They w^ent out from us, but 
they were not of us ; for ^^ if they had 
been of us, they would no doubt have 
continued with us : but they went out, 
1 that they might be made manifest 
that they were not all of us. 

20 But ■'^ye have an unction i" from 
the Holy One, and °ye know all 
things. 

21 I have not written unto you be- 
cause ye know not the truth, but be- 
cause ye know it, and that no lie is 
of the truth. 

22 pWho is a liar but he that de- 
nieth that Jesus is the Christ ? He 
is antichrist, that denieth the Father 
and the Son. 

23 1 Whosoever denieth the Son, 
the same hath not the Father : \but 
■■ he that acknovjledgeth the Son hath 
the Father also.'] 

24 Let that therefore abide in you, 
3 which ye have heard from the be- 
ginning. If that which ye have 
heard from the beginning shall re- 
main in you, tye also shall continue 
in the Son, and in the Father. 

25 " And this is the promise that he 
hath promised us, even eternal hfe. 

26 These things have I written 
unto you == concerning them that se- 
duce you. 

27 But ythe anointing which ye 
have received of him abideth in you, 
and ^ye need not that any man teach 
you : but as the same anointing 
Meacheth you of all things, and is 
'truth, and is no lie, and even as it 

1191 



God's singular love towards us. 

hath taught you, ye shall abide in 
II him. 

28 And now, little children, abide 
in him ; that ^when he shall appear, 
we may have confidence, <= and not be 
ashamed before him at his coming. 

29 '^ If ye know that he is righte- 
ous, IJ ye know that ^ every one that 
doeth righteousness is born of him. 

CHAP. III. 

1 Me declaretli the siiisiular love of God towards 
its, in making- tis )iis so?is : S who therefore 
■ ought obediently to keep his commandments, 11 
as also brotherly to love one another. 

BEHOLD what manner of love 
the Father hath bestowed upon 
us, that ^ we should be called the sons 
of God ! therefore the world knoweth 
us not, '' because it knew him not. 

2 Beloved, "= now are we the sons of 
God, and "i it doth notyet appear what 
we shall be : but we know that, when 
he shall appear, ^ we shall be like 
him; for ^ we shall see him as he is. 

3 S And every man that hath this 
hope in him purifieth himself, even 
as he is pure. 

4 Whosoever commiteth sin trans- 
gresseth also the law ; for ^sin is the 
transgression of the law. 

5 And ye know ' that he was mani- 
fested k to take away our sins ; and 
1 in him is no sin. 

6 Whosoever abideth in him sin- 
neth not : ™ whosoever sinneth hath 
not seen him, neither known him. 

.7 Little children, " let no man de- 
ceive you : ° he that doeth righteous- 
ness is righteous, even as he is right- 
eous. 

8 PHe that committeth sin is of the 
devil ; for the devil sinneth from the 
beginning. For this purpose the 
Son of God vi^as manifested, i that he 
might destroy the works of the devil. 

9 ^ Whosoever is born of God doth 
not commit sin ; for ^ his seed remain- 
eth in him ; and he cannot sin, be- 
cause he is born of God. 

10 In this the children of God are 
manifest, and the children of the 
devil : * whosoever doeth not right- 
eousness is not of God, "neither he 
that loveth not his brother. 

1 1 For " this is the || message that 
ye heard from the beginning, ythat 
we should love one another. 

12 Not as 2 Cain, who was of that 
wicked one, and slew his brother.

The duty of loving one another. 

And wherefore slew he him? Be- 
cause his own works were evil, and 
his brother's righteous. 

13 Marvel not, my brethren, if ^ the 
world hate you. 

14 b Yfe knov/ that we have passed 
from death unto life, because we love 
the brethren. <= He that loveth not 
his brother, abideth in death. 

15 ^ Whosoever hateth his brother, 
is a murderer: and ye know that 
''no murderer hath eternal life abid- 
ing in him. 

16 f Hereby perceive we the love of 
God, because he laid down his life 
for us : and we ought to lay down 
our lives for the brethren. 

17 But g whoso hath this world's 
good, and seeth his brother have 
need, and shutteth up his bowels of 
compassion from him, ^ how dwelleth 
the love of God in him ? 

18 My little children, ' let us not 
love in word, neither in tongue, but 
in deed and in truth. 

19 And hereby we know '^that we 
are of the truth, and shall f assure 
our hearts before him. 

20 ' For if our heart condemn us, 
God is greater than our heart, and 
knoweth all things. 

21 >" Beloved, if our heart condemn 
us not, n then have we confidence to- 
ward God, 

22 And o whatsoever we ask, we 
receive of him, because we keep his 
commandments, P and do those things 
that are pleasing in his sight. 

23 qAnd this is his commandment ; 
That we should believe on the name 
of his Son Jesus Christ, ""and love 
one another, ^as he gave us com- 
mandment. 

24 And the that keepeth his com- 
mandments, " dwelleth in him, and he 
in him. And ^ hereby we know that 
he abideth in us, by the Spirit which 
he hath given us. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 He warneth them not to believe all teachers, teho 
boast of the Spirit, but to try them by Ike rules 
of the catholic faith : 7 and by many reasons 
exhorteth to brotherly love. 

BELOVED, =1 believe not every 
spirit, but ^try the spirits whe- 
ther they are of God: because ^naany 
false prophets are gone out into the 
world. 
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of 
. 1192 



How to try the spirits. 

God: <* Every spirit that confesseth 
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, 
is of God : 

3 And « every spirit that confesseth 
not that Jesus Christ is come in the 
flesh, is not of God. And this is that 
spirit of antichrist, whereof ye liave 
heard that it should come ; and ^even 
now already is it in the world. 

4 eYe are of God, little children, 
and have overcome them : because 
greater is he that is in you, than ''he 
that is in the world. 

6 J They are of the world : therefore 
speak they of the world, and ''the 
world heareth them. 

6 We are of God. 'He that know- 
eth God, heareth us ; he that is not ofl 
God, heareth not us. Hereby know| 
we ""the spirit of truth, and the spi- 
rit of error. 

7 " Beloved, let us love one another : 
for love is of God ; and ever}' one that 
loveth is bom of God, and knoweth 
God. 

8 He that loveth not, ° knoweth not 
God ; for P God is love. 

9 <iln this was manifested the love 
of God toward us, because that God • 
sent his only-begotten Son into the 
world, "that we might live through' 
him. 

10 Herein is love, 'not that we lov-| 
ed God, but that he loved us, andj 
sent his Son ^to be the propitiation 
for our sins. 

11 Beloved, "if God so loved us, 
we ought also to love one another. 

12 *No man hath seen God at any 
time. If we love one another, God 
dwelleth in us, and yhis love is per- 
fected in us. 

13 ^Hereby know we that we dwell 
in him, and he in us, because he hath 
given us of his Spirit. 

14 And ''we have seen and do tes- 
tify, that ''the Father sent the Son to 
be the Saviour of the world. 

15 = Whosoever shall confess that 
Jesus is the Son of God, God dwell- 
eth in him, and he in God. 

16 And we have known and be- 
lieved the love that God hath to us. 
•J God is love : and ^he that dwelleth 
in love, dwelleth in God, and God 
in him. 

17 Herein is f our love made per 
feet, that fwe may have boldness in

failhful are light, and not grievous. 9 Jesus if 
the Son of God, able to save tis, 14 n/id to hear 
our prayers, which ice make for ourselves, and 
for others. 

WHOSOEVER "believeth that 
''Jesus is the Christ, is '=born 
of God : '' and every one that loveth 
him that begat, loveth him also that 
is begotten of him. 

2 By this we know that we love the 
children of God, when we love God, 
and keep his commandments, 

3 <=For this is the love of God, that 
we keep his commandments ; and 
fhis commandments are not griev- 
ous. 

4 For g whatsoever is born of God, 
overcometh the world : and this is tao 
victory that overcometh the world, 
even our faith. 

5 Who is he that overcometh the 
world, but ''he that believeth that 
Jesus is the Son of God 1 

6 This is he that came 'by water 
and blood, even Jesus Christ ; not by 
water only, but by water and blood. 
•^And it is the Spirit that beareth 
witness, because the Spirit is truth. 

7 For there are three that bear re- 
cord in heaven, the Father, 'the 
Word, and the Holy Ghost: "and 
these three are one. 

8 And there are three that bear 
witness in earth, the spirit, and the 
water, and the blood : and these three 
agree in one. 

9 If we receive " the witness of men, 
the witness of God is greater: "for 
this is the witness of God which he 
hath testified of his Son. 

1193 



\ 



The apostle exhorteth to perseverance 

10 He that believeth on the Son of 
God Phath the witness in himself: 
he that beheveth not God, q hath made 
him a har, because he beheveth not 
the record that God gave of his Son. 

11 ""And this is the record, that God 
hath given to us eternal life : and ^this 
life is in his Son. 

12 tHe that hath the Son, hath life ; 
and he that hath not the Son of God, 
hath not life. 

13 "These things have I written 
unto you that believe on the name 
of the Son of God; ''that ye may 
know that ye have eternal life, and 
that ye may believe on the name of 
the Son of God. 

14 And this is the confidence that 
we have 1| in him, that yif we ask 
any thing according to his will, he 
heareth us : 

15 And if we know that he hear us, 
whatsoever we ask, we know that 
we have the petitions that we desir- 
ed of him.

ask, and ^he shall give him life for

1 He exhorteth a certain honourable matron, with 
her children, to persevere in Chrisiianlove and 
belief, 8 lest they lose the reward of their farmer 
profession : 10 and to have nothing to do with 
those seducers that bring not the true doctrine 
of Christ Jesus.

have received a commandment from 
the Father. 

5 And now I beseech thee, lady,

mandment unto thee, but that which

truth. 

2 Beloved, 1 1| wish above all things 
that thou mayest prosper and be in 
health, even as thy soul prospereth.

brethren came and testified of the 
ti-uth that is in thee, even as •'thou 
walkest in the truth. 

4 I have no greater joy than to hear 
that "^my children walk in truth. 

5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully 
whatsoever thou doest to the bre- 
thren, and to strangers ; 

Which have borne witness of thy 
charity before the church : whom if 
thou bring forward on their journey 
t after a godly sort, thou shall do 
well :

pre-eminence among them, receiveth 
us not.

words : and not content therewith, 
neither doth he himself receive the 
brethren, and forbiddeth them that 
would, and casteth them out of the

11 Beloved, ''follow not that which 
is evil, but that which is good. ^He 
that doeth good is of God : but he 
that doeth evil hath not seen God. 

12 Demetrius shath good report of

manners horrible punishment is prepared : 20

others out of the snares of those deceivers.

11 Saying, «! am Alpha and Ome-'

thou seest, write in a book, and send 
it unto the seven churches which are 
in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto; 
Smj'rna, and unto Pergamos, and un- 
to Thyatira, and unto Sardis,and un- 
to Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 

12 And I turned to see the voice 
that spake with me. And being turn- 
ed, s I saw seven golden candlesticks ; 

13 "lAnd in the midst of the seven 
candlesticks ' one like unto the Son 
of man, '' clothed with a garment 
down to the foot, and 'girt about the 
paps with a golden girdle.

16 qAnd he had in his right hand 
seven stars: and ^out of his mouth 
went a sharp two-edged sword: ^and 
his countenance was as the sun shin-

His message to the churches. 
seven churches : and i^the seven can- 
dlesticks which thou sawest are the 
seven churches. 

CHAP. n. 

^Vhat is commanded to he written to the angels, 
that is, the ministers of the churches of 1 
Ephesus, 8 Smyrna, 12 Pergamos, 18 Thya- 
tira : and what is commended, or found want' 
ing in them. 

NTO the angel of the church of 
Ephesus write : These things 
saith ^he that holdeth the seven stars 
in his right hand, ''who walketh in 
the midst of the seven golden candle- 
sticks ; 

2=1 know thy works, and thy la- 
bour, and thy patience, and how thou 
canst not bear them which are evil ; 
and ''thou hast tried them « which 
say they are apostles,, and are not ; 
and hast found them liars: 

3 And hast borne, and hast patience, 
and for my name's sake hast labour- 
ed, and hast ''not fainted. 

4 Nevertheless, I have somewhat 
against thee, because thou hast left 
thy first love. 

5 Remember therefore from whence 
thou art fallen, and repent, and do 
the first works ; s or else I will come 
unto thee quickly, and will remove 
thy candlestick out of his place, ex- 
cept thou repent. 

6 But this thou hast, that thou hat- 
est the deeds of '' the Nicolaitanes, 
which I also hate. 

7 'He that hath an ear, let him 
hear what the Spirit saith unto the 
churches ; To him that overcometh 
will I give •'to eat of ' the tree of life, 
which is in the midst of the paradise 
of God. 

8 And unto the angel of the church 
in Smyrna, write ; These things saith 
■"the first and the last, which was 
dead, and is alive; 

9 " I know thy works, and tribula- 
tion, and poverty, (but thou art °rich) 
and I knoiv the blasphemy of Pthem 
which say they are Jews, and are not, 
ibut are the synagogue of Satan. 

1 ■■ Fear none of those things which 
thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil 
shall cast some of you into prison, 
that ye may be tried ; and ye shall 
have tribulation ten days. ^Be thou 
faithful unto death, and I will give 
ihee * a crown of life. 

11 "He that hath an ear, let him 

1197 



What John was commanded 



REVELATION. 



to write in commendation 



hear what the Spirit saith unto the 
churches ; He that overcometh, shall 
not be hurt of ^ the second death. 

12 And to the angel of the church 
in Pergamos write ; These things 
saith y he which hath the sharp sword 
with two edges ; 

13^1 know thy works, and where 
thou dwellest, even ^ where Satan's 
seat is: and thou holdest fast my 
name, and hast not denied my faith, 
even in those days wherein Antipas 
was my faithful martyr, who was slain 
among you, where Satan dwelleth. 

14 But I have a few things against 
thee, because thou hast there them 
that hold the doctrine of ^ Balaam, 
who taught Balak to cast a stumbling- 
block before the children of Israel, 
c to eat things sacrificed unto idols, 
^ and to commit fornication. 

15 So hast thou also them that hold 
the doctrine ^of the Nicolaitanes, 
which thing I hate. 

16 Repent; or else I will come unto 
thee quickly, and ^will fight against 
them with the sword of my mouth. 

17gHe that hath an ear, let him 
hear what the Spirit saith unto the 
churches: To him that overcometh 
will I give to eat of the hidden man- 
na, and will give him a white stone, 
and in the stone ^a new name writ- 
ten, which no man knoweth, saving 
he that receiveth it. 

18 And unto the angel of the church 
in Thyatira write ; These things saith 
the Son of God, ■ who hath his eyes 
like unto a flame of fire, and his feet 
are like fine brass ; 

19 ^Iknowthy v/orks, and charity 
and sei-vice, and faith, and thy pa 
tience, and thy works; and the last 
to be moi'e than the first : 

20 Notwithstanding, I have a few 
things against thee, because thou 
sufferest that woman ^ Jezebel, which 
calleth herself a prophetess, to teach 
and to seduce my servants ™to com- 
mit fornication, and to eat things 
sacrificed unto idols. 

21 And I gave her space "to repent 
of her fornication, and she repented 
not. 

22 Behold, I will cast her into a 
bed, and them that commit adultery 
with her into great tribulation, ex- 
cept they repent of their deeds.

CHAP. III. 

2 TTie angel of the church of Sardis is reproved, 
3 exhorted to repent, aiid threatened if he do 
7tot repent. 8 The angel of the church of Phi- 
ladelphia 10 is approved for his diligence and 
patience. 15 The angel of Laodicea rebuked,for 
being neither hot nor cold, ]9 and admonished 
to be more zealous. ^20 Christ standcth at the 
door and hnockeih. 

ND unto the angel of the church 
in Sardis write ; These things 
saith he ^^that hath the seven Spirits 
of God, and the seven stars ; ^1 know 
thy works, that thou hast a name 
that thou livest, <=and art dead. 

2 Be watchful, and strengthen the 
things which remain, that are ready 
to die: for I have not found thy 
works perfect before God. 

3 ^ Remember therefore how thou 
hast received and heard, and hold 
fast, and ^ repent. ^ If therefore thou 
shalt not watch, I will come on thee 
as a thief, and thou shalt not know 
what hour I will come upon thee, 

4 Thou hast ff a few names even in 
Sardis which have not ^ defiled their 
garments ; and they shall walk with 
me 'in white: for they are worthy. 

5 He that overcometh, ^ the same 
shall be clothed in white raiment ; 
and I will not ^ blot out his name out 
of the ™book of life, but ^I will con- 

1198 



cr reproof to the * 

fess his name before my Father, and 
before his angels. 

6 °He that hath an ear, let him 
hear what the Spirit saith unto the 
churches. 

7 And to the angel of the church 
in Philadelphia write; These things 
saith Phe that is holy, The that is true, 
he that hath ""the key of David, ^he 
that openeth, and no man shutteth 
and 'shutteth, and no man openeth 

8 "I know, thy works: behold, I 
have set before thee ^an open door, 
and no man can shut it : for thou hast 
a little strength, and hast kept my 
word, and hast not denied my name. 

9 Behold, 1 will make >'them of the 
synagogue of Satan, which say they 
are Jews, and are not, but do lie ; 
behold, =^1 will make them to come 
and worship before thy feet, and to 
know that 1 have loved thee. 

10 Because thou hast kept the word 
of my patience, ^I also will keep thee 
from the hour of temptation, which 
shall come upon ''all the world, to 
try them that dwell "^upon the earth. 

11 Behold, ''I come quickly : ^hold 
that fast which thou hast, that no 
man take 'thy crown. 

12 Him thatovercometh, will I make 
Ga pillar in the temple of my God, 
and he shall go no more out: and ^\ 
will write upon him the name of my 
God, and the name of the city of my 
God, which is 'new Jerusalem, which 
Cometh down out of heaven from my 
God : ^ and / will write upon him my 
new name. 

13 'He that hath an ear, let him 
hear what the Spirit saith unto the 
churches. 

14 And unto die angel of the church 
II of the Laodiceans write ; ™ These 
things saith the Amen, "the faithful 
and true Witness, "the beginning of 
the creation of God ; 

15 P I know thy works, that thou 
art neither cold nor hot : I would 
thou wert cold or hot. 

10 So then, because thou art luke- 
warm, and neither cold nor hot, I 
will spue thee out of my mouth : 

17 Because thou saycst, il am rich, 
and increased with goods, and have 
need of nothing ; ajid knowest not 
that thou art wretched, and misera- 
ble, and poor, and blind, and naked :

18 I counsel thee ^^to buy of me 
gold tried in the fire, that thou may- 
est be rich; and Hvhite raiment, that 
thou mayest be clothed, and that the 
shame of thy nakedness do not ap- 
pear; and anoint thine eyes with

19 'As many as I love, I rebuke 
and chasten : be zealous therefore, 
and repent. 

20 Behold, "I stand at the door, 
and knock: ^If any man hear my 
voice, and open the door, >T will 
come in to him, and will sup with 
him, and he with me. 

21 To him that overcometh ^will I 
grant to sit with me in my throne, 
even as I also overcame, and am set 
down with my Father in his throne. 

22 aHe that hath an ear, let him 
hear what the Spirit saith unto the 
churches. 

CHAP. IV. 

2 John seeth the throne of God in heaven. 4 The 
four and twenty elders. 6 The four beasts full 
of eyes before and behind. 10 The elders lay 
down their crowns, and uorship him that sat 
on the throne. 

FTER this I looked, and be- 
hold, a door was opened in hea- 
ven : and SI the first voice which I 
heard, was as it were of a trumpet 
talking with me; which said, ''Come 
up hither, <^and I will shew thee 
things which must be hereafter. 

2 And immediately ''I was in the 
Spirit : and behold, <^a throne was set 
in lieaven, and o?ie sat on the throne. 

3 And he that sat was to look upon 
like a jasper and a sardine stone : 
•"and thc)-e was a rainbow round a- 
bout the throne in sight like unto an 
emerald. 

4 ffAnd round about the throne 
were four and twenty seats ; and up- 
on the seats I saw four and twenty 
elders sitting, ''clothed in white rai- 
ment ; 'and they had on their heads 
crowns of gold. 

5 And out of the throne proceed- 
ed '^lightnings, and thunderings, and

3 And no man ^in heaven, nor in

able to open the book, neither to look

REVELATION. The opening of six of the seals, 

out of the right hand ^of him that 
sat upon the throne. 

8 And when he had taken the book, 
'the four beasts, and four and twenty 
elders fell down before the Lamb, 
having every one of them ™ harps, and 
golden vials full of |1 odours, "which 
are the prayers of saints. 

9 And °they sung a new song, say- 
ing, PThou art worthy to take the 
book, and to open the seals thereof: 
ifor thou wast slain, and ■'hast re- 
deemed us to God by thy blood ^out 
of every kindred, and tongue, and 
people, and nation ; 

10 'And hast made us unto our God 
kings and priests : and we shall reign 
on the earth. 

11 And I beheld, and I heard the 
voice of many angels "round about 
the throne, and the beasts, and the 
elders : and the number of them was 
■''ten thousand times ten thousand, 
and thousands of thousands ; 

12 Saying with a loud voice, y Wor- 
thy is the Lamb that was slain to re- 
ceive power, and riches, and wisdom, 
and strength, and honour, and glory, 
and blessing. 

13 And ^every creature which is in 
heaven, and on the earth, and under 
the earth, and such as are in the sea, 
and all that are in them, heard I say- 
ing, a^ Blessing, and honour, and glo- 
ry, and power, he unto him ''that 
sitteth upon the throne, and unto the

to him that sat thereon to take peace 
from the earth, and that they should 
kill one another : and tliere was given 
unto him a great sword. 

5 And when he had opened the third 
seal, ^I heard the third beast say, 
Come and see. And I beheld, and 
lo, ■ a black horse ; and he that sat on 
him had a pair of balances in his 
hand,

of the four beasts say, || A measure of 
wheat for a penny,and three measures 
of barley for a penny; and ^see thou

7 And when he had opened the 
fourth seal, 'I heard the voice of the

pale horse : and his name that sat on 
him was Death, and hell followed 
with him. And power was given 
II unto them over the fourth part of

with hunger, and with death, Pand

9 Aiid when he had opened the fifth 
seal, I saw under 'i the altar ■■ the souls 
of them that were slain « for the word 
of God, and for 'the testimony which 
they held : 

10 And they cried with a loud voice, 
saying, " How long, O Lord, -^ holy

ilden altar which was before the

4 And f the smoke of the incense, 
which came with the prayers of the 
saints, ascended up before God out 
of the angel's hand. 

5 And the angel took the censer, and 
filled it with fire of the altar, and cast 
it II into the earth : and s there were 
voices, and thunderings, and light- 
nings, ■' and an earthquake. 

6 And the seven angels which had 
the seven trumpets prepared them- 
selves to sound. 

7 The first angel sounded, ' and 
there followed hail and fire mingled 
with blood, and they were cast ^ up- 
on the earth : and the third part ' of 
trees was burnt up, and all green 
grass was burnt up. 

8 And the second angel sounded,

sea: "and the third part of the sea 
o became blood ; 

9 P And the third part of the crea- 
tures which were in the sea, and had 
life, died ; and the third part of the 
ships were destroyed. 

10 And the third angel sounded, 
q and there fell a great star from 
heaven, burning as it were a lamp,

rivers, and upon the fountains of 
waters ;

2 And he opened the bottomless 
pit ; and •= there arose a smoke out

f u'nace ; and the sun and the air 
were darkened by reason of the 
smoke of the pit. 

3 And there came out of the smoke 
''locusts upon the earth: and unto 
them was given power, «as the scor- 
pions of the earth have power. 

4 And it was commanded them 
•"that they should not hurt ethe 
grass of the earth, neither any green 
thing, neither any tree ; but only 
those men which have not ^the seal 
of God in their foreheads. 

5 And to them it was given that they 
should not kill them, 'but that they 
should be tormented five months : 
and their torment ivas as the torment 
of a scorpion, when he striketh a 
man. 

6 And in those days ''shall men 
seek death, and shall not find it ; and 
shall desire to die, and death shall 
flee from them. 

7 And ' the shapes of the locusts 
ivere like unto horses prepared unto 
battle ; '" and on their heads were as 
it were crowns like gold, " and their 
faces were as the faces of men. 

8 And they had hair as the hair of

sound of their wings ivas P as the 
sound of chariots of many horses 
running to battle.

The sixth trumpet sounded. 
tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek 
tongue hath his name || Apollyon. 

12 t One wo is past ; and behold 
there come two woes more hereafter. 

13 And the sixth angel sounded, 
and I heard a voice from the four 
horns of the golden altar which is 
before God, 

14 Saying to the sixth angel which 
had the trumpet. Loose the four an- 
gels which are bound "in the great 
river Euphrates. 

15 And the four angels were loosed, 
which were prepared || for an hour, 
and a day, and a month, and a year, 
for to sky the third part of men. 

16 ^And the number of i!,\Q army 
y of the horsemen were two hundred 
thousand thousand : ^and I heard the 
number of them. 

1 7 And thus I saw the horses in the 
vision, and them that sat on them, 
having breast-plates of fire^and of ja- 
cinth, and brimstone: i^and the heads 
of the horses were as the heads of 
lions ; and out of their mouths issued 
fire, and smoke, and brimstone. 

18 By these three was the third 
part of men killed, by the fire, and 
by the smoke, and by the brimstone, 
which issued out of their mouths. 

19 For their power is in their mouth, 
and in their tails : '' for their tails 
were like unto serpents, and had 
heads, and with them they do hurt. 

20 And the rest of the men which 
were not killedbythe.se plagues «=yet 
repented not of the works of their 
hands, that they should not worship 
^ devils, "^and idols of gold,and silver, 
and brass, and stone, and of wood : 
which neither can see, nor hear, nor 
walk : 

21 Neither repented they of their 
murders,fnor of their sorceries, nor of 
their fornication, nor of their thefts.

3 And cried with a loud voice, as 
when a lion roareth : and when he 
had cried, ^ seven thunders uttered 
their voices. 

4 And when the seven thunders had 
uttered their voices, I was about to 
write ; and I heard a voice from hea- 
ven saying unto me, ^ Seal up those 
things which the seven thunders ut- 
tered, and write them not. 

5 And the angel which I saw stand 
upon the sea and upon the earth, 
glifted up his hand to heaven, 

6 And sware by him that liveth 
for ever and ever, ^ who created hea- 
ven, and the things that therein are, 
and the earth, and the things that 
therein are, and the sea, and the 
things which are therein, i that there 
should be time no longer : 

7 But 1^ in the days of the voice of 
the seventh angel, when he shall be- 
gin to sound, the mystery of God 
should be finished, as he hath de- 
clared to his servants the prophets. 

8 And 1 the voice which I heard 
from heaven spake unto me again, 
and said, Go,and take the little book 
which is open in the hand of the an- 
gel which standeth upon the sea and 
upon the earth. 

9 And I went unto the angel, and 
said unto him. Give me the little 
book. And he said unto me, '"Take 
it, and eat it up ; and it shall make 
thy belly bittf:r, but it shall be in 
thy mouth sweet as honey. 

10 And I took the little book out of 
the angel's hand, and ate it up ; " and 
it was in my mouth sweet as honey : 
and as soon as I had eaten it ° my 
belly was bitter. 

11 And he said unto me. Thou must 
prophesy again before many peoples, 
and nations, and tongues, and kings.

9 'f And they of the people, and kin-

The dragon cast out of heaven. 
ready to be dehvered, 'for to devour 
her child as soon as it was born. 

5 And she brought forth a man- 
child, "^ who was to rule all nations 
with a rod of iron : and her child 
was caught up unto God, and to his 
throne. 

6 And ' the woman fled into the 
wilderness, where she hath a place 
prepared of God, that they should 
feed her there " a thousand two hun- 
dred and threescore days. 

7 And there was war in heaven : 
"Michael and his angels fought °a- 
gainst the dragon ; and the dragon 
fought and his angels, 

8 And prevailed not ; neither was 
their place found any more in hea- 
ven. 

9 And P the great dragon was cast 
out, q that old serpent, called the De- 
vil, and Satan, "^ which deceiveth the 
whole world : ^ he was cast out into 
the earth, and his angels were cast 
out with him. 

10 And I heard a loud voice saying 
in heaven. ' Now is come salvation, 
and strength, and the kingdom of our 
God, and the power of his Christ : 
for the accuser of our brethren is cast 
down "which accused them before 
our God day and night. 

1 1 And ^ they overcame him by the 
blood of the Lamb, and by the word 
of their testimony ; y and they loved 
not their lives unto the death. 

12 Therefore ^ rejoice, ye heavens, 
and ye that dwell in them. *Wo to 
the inhabitersof the earth, and of the 
sea ! for the devil is come down un- 
to you, having great wrath, ^ because 
he knoweth that he hath but a short 
time. 

1 3 And when the dragon saw that 
he was cast unto the earth, he per- 
secuted c the woman which brought 
forth the man-child. 

14 <^And to the woman were given 
two wings of a great eagle, ^ that she 
might fly '"into the wilderness, into 
her place, where she is nourished gfor 
a time, and times, and half a time, 
from the face of the serpent. 

15 And the serpent J" cast out of his 
mouth water as a flood, after the wo- 
man, that he might cause her to be 
carried away of the flood.

up out of the sea, i^ having seven 
heads and ten horns, and upon his 
horns ten crowns, and upon his heads

2 ^ And the beast which I saw was

deadly wound was healed : and ^ all

4 And they worshipped the dragon 
which gave power unto the beast : 
and they worshipped the beast, say- 
ing, 1 Who is like unto the beast ? 
who is able to make war with him ? 

5 And there was given unto him 
™ a mouth speaking great things and 
blasphemies ; and power was given 
unto him || to continue " forty and 
two months. 

6 And he opened his mouth in blas- 
phemy against God, to blaspheme his 
name, ° and his tabernacle, and them 
that dwell in heaven. 

7 And it was given unto him P to 
make war with the saints, and to over- 
come them ; i and power was given 
him over all kindreds, and tongues,

on the earth <^ by the means of those 
miracles which he had power to do 
in the sight of the beast ; saying to 
them that dwell on the earth, that 
they should make an image to the 
beast, which had the wound by a 
sword, fand did live. 

15 And he had power to give f life 
unto the image of the beast, that the 
image of the beast should both speak, 
g and cause that as many as would not 
worship the image of the beast should 
be killed. 

16 And he cause th all, both small 
and great, rich and poor, free and 
bond, h f to receive a mark in their 
right hand, or in their foreheads ; 

17 And that no man might buy or 
sell, save he that had the mark, or 
' the name of the beast, "^or the num-

earth ^ shall wonder, (''whose names 
were not written in the book of life 
from the foundation of the world,) 
when they behold the beast that was, 
and is not, and yet is. 

9 And c here is the mind which 
hath wisdom. ^ The seven heads are 
seven mountains,on which the woman 
sitteth. 

10 And there are seven kings: five 
are fallen, and one is, and the other 
is not yet come ; and when he Com- 
eth, he must continue a short space. 

11 And the beast that was, and is 
not, even he is the eighth, and is of 
the seven, ^and goethinto perdition. 

12 And ^the ten horns which thou 
sawest are ten kings, which have re- 
ceived no kingdom as yet ; but re- 
ceive power as kings one hour with 
the beast. 

13 These have one mind, and shall 
give their power and strength unto 
the beast. 

14 g These shall make war with the 
Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome 
them : ^ for he is Lord of lords, and 
Kuig of kings ; ' and they that are 
with him are called, and chosen, and 
faithful. 

15 And he saith unto me, i^The 
waters which thou sawest, where the 
whore sitteth, ' are peoples, and mul- 
titudes, and nations, and tongues. 

16 And the ten horns which thou 
sawest upon the beast, "Uhese shall 
hate the whore, and shall make her 
desolate " and naked, and shall eat 
her flesh, and ° burn her with fire. 

17 PFor God hath put in their 
hearts to fulfil his will, and to a- 
gree, and give their kingdom unto 
the beast, i until the words of God 
shall be fulfilled.

lament over her. 20 The saints rejoice for the 
judgments of God upon her. 

AND =1 after these things I saw 
another angel come down from 
heaven, having great power; ^andthe 
earth was lightened with his glory. 
2 And he cried mightily with a 
saying, <= Babylon the

great is fallen, is fallen, and <* is be- 
come the habitation of devils, and 
the hold of every foul spirit, and ^ a 
cage of every unclean and hateful 
bird. 

3 For all nations fhave drunk of the 
wine of the vi^rath of her fornication, 
and the kings of the earth have com- 
mitted fornication w^ith her, ? and the 
merchants of the earth are waxed 
rich through the || abundance of her 
delicacies. 

4 And I heard another voice from 
heaven, saying, ^ Come out of her, 
my people, that ye be not partakers 
of her sins, and that ye receive not 
of her plagues. 

5 "For her sins have reached unto 
heaven, and ^ God hath remembered 
her iniquities. 

6 ^Reward her even as she rewarded 
you, and double unto her double ac 
cording to her works : '" in the cup 
which she hath filled, " fill to her dou- 
ble. 

7 o How much she hath glorified 
herself, and lived deliciously, so much 
torment and sorrow give her : for she 
saith in her heart, I sit a P queen, and 
am no widow, and shall see no sor- 
row. 

8 \ nerefore shall her plagues come 

1 in one day, death, and mourning, 
and famine ; and ^ she shall be utterly 
burned with fire : s for strong is the 
Lord God who judgeth her. 

9 And t the kings of the earth, who 
have committed fornication and lived 
deliciously with her, "shall bewail 
her, and lament for her, ^ when they 
shall see the smoke of her burning, 

10 Standing afar off for the fear of 
her torment, saying, y Alas, alas ! that 
great city Babylon, that mighty city ! 

2 for in one hour is thy judgment 
come.

1 God is praised in heaven for judging the great 
whore, and avenging the blood of his saints. 7 
'ITie marriage of the Lamh. 10 The anget will 
not be worshipped. 17 The fowls called to the 
great slaughter. 

AND after these things ''I heard a 
great voice of much people in 
heaven, saying, Alleluia : ^ Salvation, 
and glory, and honour, and power 
unto the Lord our God : 

2 For <=true and righteous are his 
judgments : for he hath judged the 
great whore, which did corrupt the 
earth with her fornication, and ^ hath 
avenged the blood of his servants at 
her hand. 

3 And again they said, Alleluia. 
And <^her smoke rose up for ever 
and ever. 

4 And ''the four and twenty elders 
and the four beasts fell down and 
worshipped God that sat on the 
throne, saying, eAmen ; Alleluia. 

5 And a voice came out of the 
throne, saying, ''Praise our God, all 
ye his servants, and ye that fear him, 
'both small and great. 

G ''And I heard as it were the voice 
of a great multitude, and as the voice 
of many waters, and as the voice of 
mighty thunderings, saying,Alleluia: 
for 'the Lord God omnipotent reign- 
eth. 

7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and 
give honour to him: for '"the mar- 
riage of the Lamb is come, and his 
wife hath made herself ready. 

8 And "to her was granted that she 
should be arrayed in fine linen, clean 
and II white: "for the fine linen is 
the righteousness of saints.

pBlesscd are they which are called 
unto the marriage-supper of the 
Lamb. And he saith unto me,

11 "And I saw heaven opened, and 
behold, ^a white horse ; and he that 
sat upon him was called y Faithful 
and True, and ^in righteousness he 
doth judge and make war. 

12 '^His eyes were as a flame of fire, 
''and on his head were many crowns ; 
•^and he had a name written, that no 
man knew, but he himself. 

13 i^ And he was clothed with a ves- 
ture dipped in blood : and his name 
is called ^The AYord of God. 

14 ^And the armies which were in 
heaven followed him upon white 
horses, e clothed in fine Unen, white 
and clean. 

15 And ''out of his mouth goeth a 
sharp sword, that with it he should 
smite the nations : and 'he shall rule 
them with a rod of iron : and ''he 
treadeth the wine-press of the fierce- 
ness and wrath of Almighty God. 

16 And 'he hath on liis vesture and 
on his thigh a name \\Titten, '"KING 
OF KINGS, AND LORD OF 
LORDS. 

17 And I saw an angel standing in 
the sun ; and he cried with a loud 
voice, saying "to all the fowls that 
fly in the midst of heaven, °Come, 
and gather yourselves together unto 
the supper of the great God ; 

18 pTliat ye may eat the flesh of 
kings, and the flesh of captains, and 
the flesh of mighty men, and the 
flesh of horses, and of them that sit 
on them, and the flesh of all men, 
both free and bond, both small and 
great. 

19 qAnd I saw the beast, and the 
kings of the earth, and '.heir armies, 
gatheredtogethertomakewaragainst 
him that sat on the horse, and against 
his army. 

20 rAnd the beast was taken, and 
with him the false prophet that 
wrought miracles before him, with 
which he deceived them that had re- 
ceived the mark of the beast, and 
nhem that worshipped his image. 
'These both were cast alive into a 
lake of fire "burning with brim- 
stone. 

21 And the remnant ^were slain 
with the sword of him that sat upon 
the horse, which sword proceeded 
out of his mouth : yand all the fowls

resurrection : they blessed thai have part there- 
in. 7 Satan let loose ag-ain. Z Gog and Magog. 
10 The devil cast into the lake of fire and brim- 
stone. 12 The last and general resurrection. 

ND I saw an angel come down 
. from heaven, ^having the key of 

the bottomless pit and a great chain 

in his hand. 

2 And he laid hold on ^the dragon, 
that old serpent, which is the Devil, 
and Satan, and bound him a thou- 
sand years, 

3 And cast him into the bottomless 
pit, and shut him up, and ^set a seal 
upon him, ^that he should deceive 
the nations no more, till the thou- 
sand years should be fulfilled ; and 
after that he must be loosed a little 
season. 

4 And I saw ^thrones, and they sat 
upon them, and ^judgment was giv- 
en unto them : and / saw ^the souls 
of them that were beheaded for the 
witness of Jesus, and for the word of 
God, and 'which had not worshipped 
the beast, '^neither his image, nei- 
ther had received Iris mark upon 
their foreheads, or in their hands ; 
and they lived and ^ reigned with 
Christ a thousand years. 

5 But the rest of the dead lived not 
again until the thousand years were 
finished. This is the first resuiTCc- 
tion. 

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath 
part in the first resurrection : on 
such ™the second death hath no

ters of the earth, "^Gog and Magog,

of the sea. 

9 t And they went up on the breadth 
of the earth, and compassed the camp 
of the saints about, and the beloved 
city : and fire came down from God 
out of heaven, and devoured them.

face 2 the earth and the heaven fled 
away ; 'land there was found no place 
for them. 

12 And I saw the dead, ^small and

books were opened : and another 
•^book was opened, which is the hook 
of life : and the dead were judged out 
of those things which were written 
in the books, ^ according to their 
works. 

13 And the sea gave up the dead 
which were in it ; ^and death and 

hell delivered up the dead which 
were in them : ?and they were judg-

ND =^1 saw a new heaven and a

away ; and there was no more sea. 

2 And I John saw "^the holy citj'', 
new Jerusalem, coming down from 
God out of heaven, prepared <ias a 
bride adorned for her husband.

with them, and be their God.

hither, I will shew thee Uhe bride, 
the Lamb's wife. 

10 And he carried me away "in the 
spirit to a great and high mountain, 
and shewed me ^that great city, the 
holy Jerusalem, descending out of 
heaven from God, 

1 1 >' Having the glory of God : and 
her light was like unto a stone most 
precious, even like a jasper-stone, 
clear as crystal ; 

12 And had a wall great and high, 
and had ^twelve gates, and at the 
gates twelve angels, and names writ- 
ten thereon, which are the names of 
the twelve tribes of the children of 
Israel. 

13 "On the east, three gates ; on the 
north, three gates ; on the south, three 
gates ; and on the west, three gates. 

14 And the wall of the city had 
twelve foundations, and ''in them the 
names of the twelve apostles of tlie 
Lamb. 

15 And he that talked with me, "^ had 
a golden reed to measure the city, 
and the gates thereof, and the wall 
thereof. 

IG And the city lieth foursquare, 
and the length is as large as the 
breadth : and he measured the city 
with the reed, twelve thousand fur- 
longs. The length, and the breadth, 
and the height of it are equal. 

17 And he measured the wall there- 
of, a hundred and forty and four 
cubits, according to the measure of a 
man, that is, of the angel. 

18 And the building of the wall of 
it was of jasper : and the city was 
pure gold, like unto clear glass.

19 ^And the foundations of the wall 
of the city were garnished with all 
manner of precious stones. The first 
foundation was jasper ; the second, 
sapphire ; the third, a chalcedony ; 
the fourth, an emerald ; 

20 The fifth, sardonyx ; the sixth, 
sardius : the seventh, chrysolite ; the 
eighth, beryl ; the ninth, a topaz ; 
the tenth, a chrysoprasus ; the ele- 
venth, a jacinth ; the twelfth, an a- 
methyst. 

21 And the twelve gates t/;ere twelve 
pearls ; every several gate was of one 
pearl; ^and the street of the city 
was pure gold, as it were transparent 
glass. 

22 '"And I saw no temple therein : 
for the Lord God Almighty and the 
Lamb are the temple of it. 

23 ?And the city had no need of 
the sun, neither of the moon, to 
shine in it : for the glory of God did 
lighten it, and the Lamb is the light 
thereof. 

24 ii And the nations of them which 
are saved shall walk in the light of it: 
and the kings of the earth do bring 
their glory and honour into it. 

25 'And the gates of it shall not be 
shut at all by day : for i^there shall 
be no night there. 

2G 'And they shall bring the glory 
and honour of the nations into it. 

27 And '"there shall in no wise en- 
ter into it any thing that defileth, 
neither y;//cf;soet'e?- worketh abomina- 
tion, or maketh a lie ; but they which 
are written in the Lamb's " book of 
life.

9 The angel icill not be worshipped. 18 No- 
thing may he added to the word of God, nor 
taken therefrom. 

AND he shewed me ^^a pure river 
of water of life, clear as ciystal, 
proceeding out of the throne of God 
and of the Lamb. 

2 ''In the midst of the street of it, 
and on either side of the river, was 
there <^the tree of life, which bare 
twelve manner of fruits, anc? yielded 
her fmit every month: and the leaves 
of the tree were "^for the healing of 
the nations.

God giveth them light : ' and they 
shall reign for ever and ever. 

6 And he said unto me, ^ These say- 
ings are faithful and true. And the 
Lord God of the holy prophets » sent 
his angel to shew unto his servants 
the things which must shortly be 
done. 

7 "Behold, I come quickly : q bless- 
ed is he that keepeth the sayings of 
the prophecy of this book. 

8 And I John saw these things, and 
heard them. And when I had heard 
and seen, q I fell down to worship be- 
fore the feet of the angel which shew- 
ed me these things. 

9 Then saith he unto me, ■■ See thou 
do it not : fori am thy fellow-servant, 
and of thy brethren the prophets, and 
of them which keep the sayings of 
this book : worship God. 

10 «And he saith unto me. Seal not 
the sayings of the prophecy of this 
book : tfor the time is at hand. 

11 "He that is unjust, let him be 
unjust still : and he which is filthy, 
let him be filthy still : and he that is 
righteous, let him be righteous still : 
and he that is holy, let him be holy 
still.
